How to correctly understand and treat China traditional culture?

1, "take its essence and discard its dross" is the concrete embodiment of China's * * * production party's rational critical attitude towards China's traditional culture. After thousands of years of historical accumulation, China traditional culture has its essence and dross. What we want to criticize and eliminate is its dross, while the essence of traditional culture should be inherited and "make the past serve the present".

2. "Getting rid of its feudal dross and taking its democratic essence is a necessary condition for developing national new culture and improving national self-confidence", which not only clarifies the attitude towards traditional culture, but also points out the value standard of distinguishing "dross" from "essence" in traditional culture:

The difference between feudalism and democracy. In the process of China's modernization, the people of China have established a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist country under the leadership of the China Producer Party, which is essentially different from the traditional feudal absolutism in China, which also determines that it is by no means eclectic to inherit the traditional culture of China.

3. In the new period of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the producers of China * * * have always held a rational attitude towards their traditional culture, stressing that they should "treat their traditional culture differently and discard the inheritance", and insist on making the past serve the present, making foreign things serve China, removing the rough and selecting the essence, discarding the false and retaining the true, and using it for our own use after scientific sublation.

To correctly handle the relationship with foreign cultures, we should pay attention to solving these two problems.

First, we should develop value self-confidence. Since the founding of New China, especially the successful practice of reform and opening up in the past 35 years, we have embarked on a Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, formed the Socialism with Chinese characteristics theory system, established the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, and created a rare development miracle in the world.

Second, we must resolutely oppose "foreign dogmatism". Today, with the continuous expansion of foreign exchanges, more and more foreign cultures have been introduced. Of course, it contains the achievements of human civilization, which needs our serious absorption and reference. However, there have also been cases in which some people worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries.

In particular, I am keen to simply copy western categories, ideas and conclusions, regardless of their background and premise. I am used to reading China's colorful reform and development practice with western words. This is today's "foreign dogmatism".

Extended data

In modern China, there were two totally different attitudes towards traditional culture. One is the theory of "total westernization" that completely denies national culture, and the other is cultural conservatism that sticks to tradition. But none of them really found a way to revive China's traditional culture.

The October Revolution brought a brand-new Marxist world outlook and methodology to the advanced intellectuals in China. China * * * Production Party began to use Marxist scientific standpoint, viewpoint and method to analyze and study the inheritance of traditional culture. The basic method of treating traditional culture by Marxism is "dialectical negative view". "

"Dialectical negative view" is not only a rational attitude of China filmmakers towards traditional culture, but also a dialectical method. The essence of dialectical negation is the dialectical unity of inheritance and criticism, that is, inheritance is inheritance in criticism and criticism is criticism in inheritance, and they are not binary opposites. This dialectical attitude and method is scientific and reasonable in essence.

Light. Com-China * * * produced the Party's scientific attitude towards traditional culture.
