Reflections on China's Traditional Culture

China's traditional culture is centered on Confucianism, advocating virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness, and paying attention to interpersonal relationships. The traditional society in China takes the family as the basic unit. Therefore, harmonious interpersonal relationship helps to maintain the harmony of the family, each family and the whole country. These morals are still meaningful in today's society, but they can't all be used. Mencius said: life is what I want; Righteousness is also what I want; You can't have both, and you have to sacrifice your life for righteousness. Giving one's life for righteousness is the highest realm of morality. In today's society, although we can't sacrifice our lives for justice, we can't lose our reputation. Therefore, China's traditional culture should be properly adjusted according to today's social situation, so as to form a new culture suitable for contemporary China. This kind of reflection on their own culture is what contemporary China people should do.
