How does General Manager Mao view the differences between China's traditional culture and western culture?

First, dialectical negation is self-denial of things, that is, self-denial through internal contradictions of things. Second, dialectical negation has two important characteristics: first, negation is a link in the development of things. Secondly, negation is the connection between things. Thirdly, the dialectical negation, which is the unity of development link and contact link, is sublation.

Adhering to the dialectical view of negation means taking an analytical attitude towards everything and opposing affirming or denying everything without analysis. We should inherit the traditional culture of China with a critical attitude.

The Chinese nation has a long history and has created a splendid culture. We must inherit this precious cultural heritage, and only on this basis can we create a new socialist culture with China characteristics. Of course, this kind of inheritance can only be critical, criticizing and eliminating its dross and absorbing its essence, so as to "promote innovation with innovation" and "make the past serve the present". We should not only oppose the retro-ism that completely affirms traditional culture, but also oppose the historical nihilism that completely denies traditional culture.

We should adopt an analytical, selective and critical attitude to learn and absorb foreign cultures. We should boldly absorb all the outstanding achievements of foreign civilizations with a broad mind and an open vision. At the same time, we should criticize and resist the decadent things of foreign bourgeoisie. For foreign cultures, we can neither completely copy nor completely exclude them. Instead, we should base ourselves on the inherent requirements of China's cultural development, absorb the beneficial achievements of foreign cultures, and establish an advanced socialist cultural system that not only reflects the level of modern world civilization, but also has its own national characteristics.
