How to deal with the relationship between traditional culture and modern culture

First, denying traditional culture is also denying history.

Traditional culture is the cultural heritage of material civilization and spiritual civilization accumulated by a nation in long-term social practice, and it is also the spiritual embodiment of a nation's unique way of thinking. Traditional culture has both essence and dross. Therefore, traditional culture can neither be completely denied nor absorbed. Only by standing at the height of the times and passing the test of practice. Only by taking its essence and discarding its dross can it play a correct role.

When a country moves towards modernization, it must always have a culture based on a certain economic and political foundation. To deny traditional culture is also to deny history and national spirit. Cut off one's "roots" artificially. White, an American cultural philosopher, said: "Culture is a continuous unity, and every stage of cultural development comes from an earlier cultural environment." "The present culture depends on the past culture, and the future culture is only the current cultural trend." It can be said that the development history of a nation is also the history of developing and enriching traditions.

Denying traditional culture will inevitably obliterate the national spirit. It is wrong to think that China's modernization can only draw strength from foreign culture and try to replace China's traditional cultural model with western cultural model.

Second, traditional culture is a great spiritual force.

As a social spiritual form, traditional culture is a reflection of certain social existence. This traditional culture is a great spiritual force and has a long-term effect on society.

The Chinese nation has created a splendid culture that has attracted worldwide attention in thousands of years of historical development. It has a long history, extensive knowledge and far-reaching influence. Due to the particularity of the soil that breeds traditional culture and the individual characteristics of historical and cultural development, China's traditional culture is unique, stands on its own feet among the nations of the world with its unique charm, and influences the development of world culture with its great charm.

We should cherish and carry forward its essence and combine it with Marxism to form the main body of modern culture. The essence worthy of inheritance and development in traditional culture mainly includes: self-improvement and hard struggle; Advocating humanistic values and paying attention to harmony and stability; Moral value is supreme, pursuing the promotion of spiritual realm; Intuitive overall thinking, spear dialectical analysis; Enduring traditional virtues; Peace and friendship, love the motherland.

Third, we must remove the negative factors in traditional culture in order to better carry forward modern culture.

Weak concept of legal system. China's traditional culture does not attach importance to the legal system, and implements the rule of man, such as the supremacy of imperial power, so the monarch's words are the law. In today's socialist society in China, the people have become the masters of the country, and all the laws of the country reflect the fundamental interests of the people. However, the feudal privilege thought is serious, and the situation that power is greater than law and emotion is greater than law still occurs from time to time.

Poor commodity awareness. China is an agricultural country, which values agriculture over commerce. In the past, doing business was looked down upon. I didn't know that commerce is an important link in product circulation, which plays an important role in promoting the development of social productive forces, prospering the economy and facilitating the people. Especially in modern times, without the high development of market economy, it is impossible to move towards modernization.

Conservative consciousness is serious. China's small-scale peasant economy is vast, self-employed, dependent on the weather for food, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", which is easy to be satisfied with the status quo. Unless absolutely necessary, we will not rise up and accept new things by self-study.

Four, from traditional culture to modernization, is the spiritual power to promote the continuous development of socialism.

The first is the need to develop a market economy. In the past, it was a planned economy. This economy is run by people, and everything is under the unified control of the government, regardless of government and enterprise. It acted according to the will of the Chief Executive and fired indiscriminately at the people.

At present, market economy is the basic means to allocate social resources with market mechanism, and it is an economic management system established in accordance with the laws of market economy movement. Therefore, it can effectively encourage enterprises to play their initiative and competitiveness, mobilize the creativity of the broad masses of the people, and become a powerful driving force for modern economic development. A certain economy is always associated with a certain culture. Economy and culture permeate and influence each other. Today's economy is tomorrow's culture. And tomorrow's culture will also be the economy of the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, the development of modern economy, on the one hand, will test people's existing cultural concepts and make new choices, on the other hand, it will urge people to study all advanced things hard and constantly improve their spiritual quality to meet the needs of the development of the situation. This is the fundamental and decisive role of market economy in the modernization of traditional culture.

Secondly, it is necessary to build a complete socialist rule of law. The socialist market economy is an economy ruled by law, which means legitimacy, authority and fairness. The role of the rule of law in the market economy: first, the guiding role-guiding the market economy to develop in a healthy direction; The second is the role of supervision-regulating the behavior and order of the government and market subjects through laws; The third is the guarantee function-to guarantee the equal competition and legal rights of market participants.

These are the embodiment of modern civilization and modern culture, and China's traditional culture has great defects in this respect. China traditional culture emphasizes the rule of man in legal thought. Law is only an auxiliary means to govern the country, and this traditional culture lacking the awareness of rights is difficult to exist and develop in the market economy.

Cultural characteristics

2. National characteristics: China traditional culture is unique to China, which is different from other national cultures in the world.

4. Broad and profound. "Wide" refers to the breadth of China's traditional culture-rich and colorful, and "deep" refers to the depth of China's traditional culture-unfathomable.

It is not only the basic function of culture, but also the function, realistic demand and basic foundation of modern culture to strengthen the cultural guiding position, give full play to its guiding role and effectively improve its quality. First, modern culture is the dominant lifestyle of modern people. Modern culture does not lead culture with culture, but leads development with modern culture, leads the development of people and the whole society, and promotes new cultural consciousness, cultural self-confidence and cultural self-improvement with modern culture.

Second, Scientific Outlook on Development is the basic prerequisite for the development of modern culture. Development should be inclusive and growth should be inclusive. Thirdly, modernization theory is a very important measure to measure the development of modern culture. People in Xinjiang should be shaped by advanced culture and modern personality, innovate the concept of development, build Xinjiang's efficiency, sharpen Xinjiang's spirit and pursue Xinjiang's Excellence. Fourth, the beneficial results of the construction of the socialist core value system are the core content led by modern culture.
