How to understand the tolerant spirit in China traditional culture?

(1) Pursuing harmony and advocating beauty and harmony have long been concerned by many sages and become the core and essence of China traditional culture. Although they have a certain historical imprint, they all reflect the people's pursuit of a better life and the Chinese nation's spirit of loving peace and pursuing harmony to a certain extent. For example, Confucianism puts forward that "courtesy is precious", "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as harmony with others", "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "I am old and I am young and young". Taoists talk about "knowledge and daily life"; Mohism advocates "mutual non-aggression" and "universal love"; Legalists advocate the formulation and implementation of laws to maintain social stability. At present, China's water conservancy is in a critical period of reform and development, and many contradictions and problems need to be solved urgently. Of course, we should give full play to the wisdom of today's people, but we can also seek wisdom and beneficial enlightenment from traditional culture to provide valuable ideological and cultural resources for building a harmonious society. (2) Tolerance and tolerance, as the main body of China's traditional culture, Confucianism has spread in China for more than 2,000 years, affecting other countries and regions in the world. One of the important reasons is that it has strong compatibility, flexibility and penetration. Confucian culture permeates and influences the Chinese nation everywhere, and some moral norms and famous sayings are well-known among the masses, which is a good mass foundation for us to build a harmonious society and water conservancy. Today, in the face of the collision of various cultures in the world, the dual role of market economy and the strategic task of building a harmonious water conservancy, as long as we have effective guidance, proper measures and proper application, excellent traditional culture will have a positive effect on people's self-cultivation, positive enterprising, promoting good and restraining evil, improving quality and enhancing national identity and pride. China's traditional culture is deeply rooted in the land of China, which has exerted a wide and profound influence on politics, economy, military affairs, education and social life in past dynasties. As a civilized achievement created by the Chinese nation in the long history, China traditional culture is not only preserved in production tools, daily necessities, cultural relics, laws and regulations, but also permeated into our national psychology and national character. (3) As you can see, pushing others to develop a market economy is conducive to enhancing people's self-reliance, competition, efficiency, democracy and legal awareness, and is conducive to pioneering and innovating. However, the market itself also has negative effects and factors, such as money worship, hedonism, forgetting profits, harming others' interests, dishonesty and deception, which are corrosive agents and catalysts for water conservancy harmony. How to give full play to the positive role of the market mechanism and effectively prevent the negative effects of the market is an important topic that needs in-depth study in all aspects of the water conservancy system. China's traditional culture emphasizes "people-oriented, harmony between man and nature", "loyalty to the country, giving up one's life for righteousness", "self-improvement, hard struggle", "consideration for others", "kindness to others and sincerity to others". Because the water conservancy work is relatively hard, these traditional virtues of the Chinese nation still play an important role in inspiring spirit, integrating strength, enhancing cohesion and coordinating conflicts of interest under the condition of developing the socialist market economy, which is worth inheriting and carrying forward.
