Traditional Chinese Culture and the Rise of Great Powers

On the Influence of Chinese Traditional Culture on the Rise of China

The Chinese nation is a nation of wisdom with a history of 5,000 years of civilization. The splendid culture given to us by our ancestors flashes the light of wisdom everywhere, and the 5,000 years of Huaxia's culture has left an extremely precious treasure for the treasury of human wisdom.

The cultural tradition, a long history; its knowledge accumulation, profound; its masterpieces of classics, sweat and cattle. It can be said that the book forest is as vast as the sea, books such as mountains.

The writers of these books, leaving us a share of valuable cultural heritage and spiritual wealth, it is they who are worthy of our attention, worthy of our worship, worthy of our followers. They ruled our minds with the power of truth instead of enslaving us with force. It is they who influence our lives, and the masterpieces they have left behind are the wealth we **** with for us to share from generation to generation. These men we call masters; these great writings we call classics.

The "Hundred Schools of Thought" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song" of the Tang and Song Periods are the masters of these masters; the canonical works of the sons, the poems of the Tang Dynasty, the lyrics of the Song Dynasty, and the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties are the classics of these classics.

However, these masters and their classics are not for window dressing, but need to be digested and absorbed by us, the children of the Yellow Emperor. The saying that "half of the Analects of Confucius governs the world" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it illustrates the point.

The Chinese nation to stand in the world's national forest, we have to cast our national spirit, and casting the national spirit can not leave the traditional culture of the Chinese people.

The most noteworthy of these traditional cultures is Confucianism. Confucianism is an excellent thought. Contemporary famous aesthetician Ye Lang said this sentence: "In thousands of years of Chinese history, there is no thinker or literary scholar who is not influenced by the book The Analects of Confucius. Without reading, understanding and penetrating this book, one cannot y understand and grasp the thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture." The Analects is a textbook that has been read by Chinese people for thousands of years and contains ancient Chinese political thought and the way of governing. It has been called the "Bible" of the Chinese people. The ideological concepts of human attitudes expressed in it have not only left an extremely wide and profound impact on the cultural and intellectual history of our country; even today, it still attracts the widespread attention and intensive study of cultural figures in China and the world. Another work of Confucianism, Mencius, is also a splendid pearl in the history of literature, with profound ideology and high literary value. The passage "Heaven will send a great task to the people of the world, must first suffer their hearts and minds, labor their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and do what they do, so move their hearts and minds to tolerate the nature of the people who have benefited from their inability to" has always inspired the future generations to work hard to motivate themselves and strive for advancement. "Wealth and luxury can not be obscene, poverty and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not be bent," the sound of this speech, has also become the personality standards of the Chinese scholars.

However, Confucianism is not only the words of Confucius and Mencius, but also the thoughts of a few masters. In the long history of China, it is a kind of social and historical thought, a thought that has been refined through history, and it is a masterpiece that integrates all kinds of foreign thoughts. Its understanding of society and advances are valuable advice, and the harmony it seeks between society and the regime is the embodiment of the pursuit of human nature and harmony.

At the same time and Confucianism coexist with: Laozi, Zhuangzi's Taoist thinking; Han Feizi's legal thinking; Mozi's Mohist thinking; Sunzi's military thinking and so on the excellent ideas. None of them have a profound influence on later generations.

It is because of the existence of these essential ideas, the Chinese nation will be in an undefeated position, China has been a big country since ancient times, she has always been a big country from the inside to the outside, its civilization, thought, philosophy to the political system are from the first-class ideas. With the unremitting efforts of our generation, I believe that one day China will become a real power, and the Chinese nation will stand in the world as the best nation and identity!

Traditional Culture and the Rise of China

China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times. Traditional Chinese culture has a history and cultural characteristics independent of the world, traditional Chinese culture has a strong colorful ethical characteristics, the importance of life, love of people, noble life and evil death, emphasizing the nature of human beings, Chinese society has always been based on the family clan, the patriarchal system of great influence. This influence is y rooted in the structure of Chinese society, forming a pattern in which the family and the state are organized together. Loyalty and filial piety, defending the country and protecting the family is a reflection of this structure, respect for the ancestors, state law, family rules, it is this ethical standards, depending on the reverence for integrity, loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the country and filial piety to parents as a virtue. All disobedience to split the traitorous ministers who defected to the enemy for the scum. China is a very humane country, the importance of propriety, morality, morality, ethics, face and over the centuries has developed a "do not want, do not do unto others" courtesy, "old age, as well as the old, as well as people old, as well as people's children and young people, etc.". Traditional concepts of interpersonal relationships and good manners and virtues have always been prioritized in Chinese education. People are often taught from childhood that "people are good in the beginning". The Chinese nation is a love of life and focus on the practical side of the nation, the Chinese people hard work, bravery, perseverance, the spirit of Yugong Yishan has become a beautiful story, in science and technology, whether it is astronomy, medicine, agronomy, mathematics, or textiles, refining, construction. Including the four great inventions, are closely related to people's lives, Chinese culture is deeper because we live in the countryside in the countryside, people move not too much, so the concept of a place for people is very deep, manifested in the emotional aspect of the place has an emotional relationship, which is to strengthen the cohesion of the concept of deep, we are different from the West is really different is that the Chinese people are more recognized relatives, the Cultural Revolution said that the six relatives, and that the Chinese people are more familiar with their relatives, and that the Chinese people are more familiar with their relatives, and that the Chinese people are more familiar with their relatives. During the Cultural Revolution, it was said that the six relatives were not recognized. The Chinese people see the six relatives as very important, people always have to have a relationship with the previous generation, from the father-son relationship, mother-son relationship in the kinship relationship produces a large range of the so-called kinship affinity.

Another characteristic of traditional Chinese culture is cohesion, which determines its centripetal force and wholeness, and the Chinese people love their families and their homeland. Attaching importance to the feelings of the native land, although thousands of miles away, but also do not forget to return to the roots. As the saying goes, "pro or not pro hometown people, the beauty of the hometown water" long years of Chinese history, this cohesion, centripetal force and the overall view of Chinese history is the most authoritative. The subtlety of traditional Chinese culture is not limited to this, there is a power higher than the power of the ruler is the "Tao". The enlightened is a wise ruler with the Tao, and the mediocre is a foolish ruler without the Tao. The power of the ruler is supreme, but the power of the ruler is also subject to the constraints of the Tao, and literature emphasizes the art of pursuing the "Tao" of nature, which is actually the human way. The so-called "Tao" is in fact humanism and heavenly principles. Mencius believes that the Tao originates from human nature, Laozi believes that the Tao arises from all things in heaven and earth, their **** the same point is to get rid of theism, ancient China seeks unity between man and heaven, heaven and man induction, the world of the netherworld, the sky for the big. In speaking of heaven and earth, and man and at the same time also runs through the orthodox thinking and moral concepts. Traditional Chinese culture is also characterized by diversity and inclusiveness. The diversity of Chinese culture can be seen everywhere, because people live in the environment and history of the formation of the differences between the South and the North, the East and the West, inland and coastal, the Central Plains and the frontier in the production, life, folklore and folklore, as well as literature, masterpieces in many aspects are obviously different, the South's delicate, the North's bold and rugged, the East silk string flat-picked, and the Western flower Qinqiang, each with their own flavors, each with their own features, just as the Shuimo large capitals and the Work brush Ren female figure, although the painting method is different, all have their own merits, and diversity **** exist is inclusive, advocate tolerance and love, advocate the middle way, do not go to extremes, think twice before acting on everything, this inclusiveness and the middle way to a certain extent, to resolve the conflict. This inclusive and middle-of-the-road approach has, to a certain extent, resolved conflicts and contributed to the stability of society and the continuation of civilization. There are many religions and ways of life in China, but they always complement each other, and Buddhism, Islam and Christianity have all taken root on Chinese soil. The history of the traditional civilization of the Chinese people is a thrilling, tearful and heartbreaking history. The government played an important role in the process of civilization. After the fifteenth century China towards closure, towards weakness, the twentieth century, the morning bell rang, the Chinese nation from ancient times, is its calm, contemplative history, the reality of the broad-minded, to meet the new century, it is this ancient nation, in the face of the future of all the historical choices and rational self-consciousness, the tradition is becoming the source of the power of China's emergence and development.
