Why should we inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture?

1. Strengthen cultural self-confidence, highly identify with, cherish and vigorously promote Chinese excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture. To inherit and develop China's excellent traditional culture, we should not treat it as an antique, nor turn a blind eye to it, but carry it forward, promote its comprehensive integration into national education, moral construction, cultural creation and production and life, and make it better serve the reality.

We should further carry forward the times values of Chinese excellent traditional culture, such as kindness, people-oriented, honesty, justice, harmony and seeking common ground, and make it an important source of socialist core values.

We should take a clear-cut stand against cultural nihilism. The excellent traditional culture accumulated over thousands of years, the revolutionary culture and the advanced socialist culture formed in the great practice of China's revolution, construction and reform are the spiritual genes integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation and the spiritual support for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Only by always being rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture can the cultural tree of the new era take root and sprout.

3. Absorb foreign countries and provide nourishment and vitality for Chinese culture to create new glories. To realize the prosperity and development of culture, we should not only remember the original works, but also absorb foreign countries, exchange and learn from each other. Exchange and mutual learning are the essential requirements of the development of civilization. We should be good at accommodating various foreign beneficial ideological and cultural resources, boldly absorb and draw lessons from all outstanding achievements of civilization created by human beings, and constantly provide nourishment and vitality for Chinese culture to create new glories.

Extended data:

Absorb the essence of foreign beneficial cultures, resolutely abandon narrow xenophobia and arrogant egoism, learn and understand cultural diversity with an eclectic and inclusive attitude, respect the cultural particularities of other countries and nationalities, communicate with them openly and confidently, blend and complement each other, avoid the clash of civilizations and achieve civilized harmony.

In cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, we should maintain confidence, endurance and determination in our own culture. Enthusiastic about "de-ideology", "de-value", "de-historicization", "de-China" and "de-mainstreaming" is absolutely hopeless.

We should always adhere to the dominant position of our own culture, absorb the strengths of others confidently and in principle, and don't blindly choose, let alone completely westernize. To treat foreign cultures, we should base ourselves on China's national conditions, discard the rough and the fine, discard the false and retain the true, and let the excellent and vital elements of foreign cultures take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit in China, and become an integral part of China culture.
