Cultural constituent materials

1. The great contribution of China culture to the world

There were many scientific and technological inventions in China in the first13rd century. One of the most important roots of the whole chemistry is that it comes from China, and China's inventions and discoveries often far exceed those of Europe in the same period. China people's contribution to understanding and controlling nature is enormous. (Preface to Needham's History of Science and Technology in China)

2. Inheritance and sublation of traditional culture

The "neighborhood", "contentment" and "forbearance" of Hutong culture are very beneficial to the construction of a harmonious society and worth popularizing. However, "easy to satisfy", "mindless" and "content with the status quo and resigned to fate" are not conducive to reform and progress, and are not the qualities that modern citizens should have, and should be abandoned. (Wang Zengqi, Hutong Culture)

3. Music beautifies life

Music is the voice of the soul-awakening memories, gathering sadness, compiling happiness, and turning tears into smiles; Music is the power of life-the leading of battle, the driving of loneliness, the sedan chair of travelers; Music is the companion of the soul-welcome you when you are born, witness you when you get married, and send you to the funeral when you die. So Goethe said, "people who don't love music don't deserve to be human ... only people who are addicted to music can be completely called human." (Ji Bolun's "Music Short Chapter")

4. Words inherit human nature

Words are the home of spiritual existence, and the departure of words is essentially the loss of humanistic spirit and personality. "When China people abandon Chinese characters, it is time to abandon their national culture." (Swedish sinologist Gao Benhan said) (Deng Hainan's If Beautiful Words Leave Us)

Jin people like rhyme, Tang people like law, Song people like meaning, and Yuan people like state. China's calligraphy in past dynasties has its own charm, which is a must of China culture. It is our responsibility to promote the art of calligraphy. (Chen, EMI Law)

5. Aesthetic highlights the nation

China's language and literature pay attention to aesthetic implication and emphasize empathy. Empathy for the scenery, inanimate objects are endowed with human feelings, so the scenery comes alive and has a moving charm. Western language and literature pay attention to psychological anatomy, highlighting the flow of consciousness and the leading role of characters' thoughts and psychology. (Zhu Guangqian, "Why Do You Feel Beautiful")

Chinese painting emphasizes verve, while western painting emphasizes similarity; Chinese painting emphasizes emptiness, giving people interest and taste (emphasizing art), while western painting emphasizes realism, giving people texture and less interest (emphasizing science). Eastern and western cultures have their own merits, and their complementarity is even more spectacular. (Feng Zikai's traditional Chinese painting and western painting)

The national aesthetic characteristics are: taking the small from the large, seeing the big from the small, being virtual and real, being virtual and real, being hidden or obvious, being shallow or deep, and paying attention to openness (connectivity and integration); Western aesthetics pays attention to the local (isolated and closed) and is realistic. (Zong Baihua's Beauty of Space)
