Benefits of cultural and arts festivals

I. The idea of culture.

Culture is usually understood as a linguistic tool expressed in words, or terms for historical archaeological remains and development processes. Fourteen, sixteen world European Renaissance, advocating the human-oriented, opposed to the God-oriented religious thought, culture has a theoretical definition. Culture is the sum of the material and spiritual wealth created by human beings, usually referring to spiritual wealth, such as faith, religion, literature, art, education, science and so on.

Culture is formed in the consciousness of human thinking, and the only thing in the world that exists in human consciousness is culture. Culture, politics, and economy are the three elements that make up human society. Culture plays a decisive role in human development, political stability, social civilization and progress.

Nation to nation, each with its own unique spiritual beliefs and culture. Culture is the spiritual face of a nation and supports its existence. Advanced culture can be a strong nation, corrupt and degenerate culture can make a nation perish, or be melted by other cultures. For example, the powerful Xiongnu and Turkic peoples in China's history, who relied on looting to thrive without their own cultures, were inevitably defeated or disappeared from the face of the earth.

Measuring the advancement of national culture is mainly reflected in the pursuit of the concept of material and spiritual wealth. That is to say, whether to put the material in the first place, or to put spiritual beliefs in the first place. This issue is a hot topic of debate in the modern cultural world.

Second, culture is the property of material life.

Since culture emerges from human consciousness, this issue has to be discussed from the evolution of human beings.

Human beings and animals*** came to the same natural space, and perhaps, human beings are not as advanced as animals in the natural space of the universe. Without the material supply knot, life does not exist. To maintain the existence of life, selfishness is the same nature of human beings and animals and everything in the world.

Humans in the evolutionary process, constantly suffering from the attacks of ferocious beasts, human wisdom beyond the selfish instincts of animals, know how to care for each other, form groups, tribes, *** with the defense of ferocious beasts attack. In the face of natural disasters, human beings are eager to survive, eager to get out of the predicament, in a helpless situation produced illusory beliefs, eager to have Superman appeared to save them.

The human to so is human, is the human consciousness beyond the animal's selfish boundaries, know the mutual respect, mutual care, harmony **** the concept of human nature.

The reason why people are human is that there is a spiritual belief in human wisdom, and a unique culture of life has been formed in the consciousness of human beings.

Culture is an attribute of material life, that is to say, culture is the inner gene of material life. As long as there is a soil and climate adapted to the development of the gene, it will promote the healthy growth of material life. If there is no soil and climate adapted to the development of the gene, it is impossible for the substance to develop, or wither and mold. A healthy culture is the first factor in promoting the development of material life. The best way to make the culture healthy and vital is to ventilate the air and expose it to the sun.

For human beings, the intrinsic gene of culture is the spiritual faith of human beings, the central soul of human beings. The power of faith is strong, benevolent and good faith can make the tribal groups grow, selfish and ugly faith is a moment of strength, and ultimately still can not escape towards extinction.

Third, the three characteristics of Chinese culture.

1: Naturalness.

Since the earth's first symbolic philosophy "Fuxi Bagua" since the advent of mankind understand the Taiji born two meters, two meters born four like, four like the gossip of the philosophy of yin and yang. Understand the law of change of the seasons, understand the green, red, white and black is a reflection of the life of all things. In the human consciousness produced a man and nature in line with each other, people born in nature to nature, man and nature harmonious philosophical way. Chinese yin and yang natural doctrine is a philosophical theory of consciousness, which promotes the development of Chinese medicine, astronomy, geography, humanities and digital technology. It can be said that modern digital technology is developed on the theory of consciousness philosophy. If there is no ancient philosophical theory of consciousness, it is impossible to have today's high technology.

2: Normative.

Chinese surname culture is more than 6,000 years old, followed by the United Kingdom, but the earliest surnames in the United Kingdom are less than 1,000 years old, and the rest of the countries' surnames are even younger. Chinese family name culture witnessed the earliest Chinese people to end the era of matriarchal society, which knew the mother but not the father, and the earliest to enter the patriarchal society.

Marrying the right family name regulations, the same tribal family is not allowed to marry, men married women married children with the father's name, not with the mother's name. And standardize the moral concept of the father knows justice, mother knows love, brother knows hand and foot. Surname culture is not only to regulate the moral concept, so that people have a sense of social responsibility, cohesion of the national unity, cohesion of the concept of mutual respect and harmony between ethnic **** life.

Surname culture is not a patriarchal feudal culture, with today's high-tech analysis, the human chromosome with the father and not with the mother. In the ancient moral consciousness norms, thousands of years of family name culture greatly optimized the quality of China's population.

3: Freedom.

The dragon is the most worshipped and auspicious sacred animal of the Chinese nation, and the Chinese people call themselves the heirs of the dragon. The dragon can soar in the air, the dragon can swim in the sea, the dragon is the righteousness of the earth, the dragon is the symbol of the soul Lun Hui, the dragon is beyond the free passionate belief in self. Freedom in Chinese culture is poetic, but not licentious. Freedom in Chinese culture is like splashing ink with a big brush, but without losing the elegance of style. Freedom in Chinese culture is dancing, singing, and raising cups of friendship. In the Mohist idea of democracy, in the Taoist concept of freedom of the unity of heaven and man, you can taste the rich joy of human freedom.

Fourth, the roots of Chinese culture.

The world's four major ancient civilizations, either disappeared, or fragmented, why only the Chinese nation stands in the East of the world? There is only one answer, the Chinese people have a deep-rooted culture of benevolence and love, and always put benevolence and morality in the first place. In the minds of the Chinese people, those who know great benevolence and great love are the most respected people. Those who are "not for themselves, heaven and earth" only material desire to lose the benevolence and morality of the people, as a betrayer of human nature, is the most ugly, the most detestable people.

People are both benevolent, benevolent both caring, benevolent both loyal, benevolent both trustworthy, benevolent both responsible, benevolent both moral, benevolent both self-improvement, benevolent both self-confidence, benevolent both innovative, benevolent both unity, benevolent both respect, benevolent both harmonious. There is a myth that Cangjie created a character with a circle, a point in the circle, and a human walking posture underneath. Someone asked Cangjie what the character was. Cangjie said, "It's the character for "human being". People shook their heads and said it did not look like it. Cangjie explained: on the day, the day on behalf of the sky, under the people, people on behalf of the earth, only the top of the sky and the ground to do people, only the bright and upright people, heaven and earth can synchronize the harmonious development of human beings will flourish and will not be extinguished. People heard, marveled, firmly remembered the symbol, firmly remembered the truth of being a man, until today.

China is a multicultural country, each ethnic group has its own benevolent beliefs and culture, which has the greatest influence on the Chinese customary life is the spirit of the Xuan Gong Dragon, Confucianism, Mozambique, the Hundred Schools of Thought, and Chinese Buddhism. It is emphasized here that Buddhism originated from India, why is it said to be Chinese Buddhism? History tells us that since the Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to China from India, and Confucianism, Taoism and Mozilla ideology, after more than two thousand years of collision and friction, the Buddhist scriptures, the natural attributes of Chinese culture within the tolerance of the language and terminology, has long been in the Chinese customs.

There is also a problem, "benevolence" word is not the idea of selfishness, not "small people and women are difficult to raise" reasoning, not to mention the patent of Confucianism. It's just that Confucius' "Analects of Confucius" was so well written that it was established as the state religion and influenced the cultures of countries around the world. The democratic ideology of the Mohists, the free moral ideology of the Taoists, and the strategic and military ideology of Sun Tzu are also based on the concept of "benevolence". Therefore, how to deepen the awareness of the concept of "benevolence" in the new era, and how to use the concept of "benevolence" to reflect the value of life is very important.

Chapter 2: The reasons for organizing the Chinese Culture Festival.

First, to shape the national image.

More than two thousand years of Confucian orthodoxy has played a unique role in the history of the development of feudal society in China. In people's customary life has become a moral code of doing. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, after the introduction of Western liberal and democratic culture into China, China began an unprecedented anti-Confucian activity. During the May Fourth Movement, patriotic young people took to the streets and started demonstrations, shouting the slogans of "Democracy, Freedom, and Revitalization of the Chinese Nation", which pushed the anti-Confucianism activities to a climax. In the sixties and seventies, the Cultural Revolution once again set off the anti-Confucianism climax, advocating the Mohist idea of promoting democracy. Since the thirty years of reform and opening up, scholars who worship the material culture of the West have constantly suppressed Chinese culture with words and phrases of tradition, feudalism, conservatism, and superstition, making Chinese culture look completely different, leaving only the frame of 5,000 years of civilization, and not being able to see themselves.

It is an undeniable fact that Confucianism has had a profound influence on Chinese culture and world culture. If Confucianism is removed, there will be no substantial culture in China. How to have a new Confucianism that is acceptable to Chinese culture and adapted to the development of the times is an important topic for us to think about.

After joining the WTO, China's economy has integrated with the world economy. What kind of national image does the Chinese nation take to integrate into the world family? Whether to embrace the Western democratic and free culture, or to find our own democratic and free culture is an important topic worthy of focusing our thinking. Therefore, the founding of the Chinese Culture Festival to shape the national image is the need of the times, the need of history.

Second, the realization of the concept of democratic supervision and participation in politics.

The Chinese ****production party so can establish a new China, literature and art propaganda played its unique role. Whether in the liberated areas or in the enemy war zones, there were many literary propaganda teams that went into the troops, villages and schools to carry out propaganda. Literary propaganda was Mao Zedong's military strategic thinking, which encouraged the fighting spirit of the soldiers, ignited the passion of the people, and contributed to the overall victory of the ****production party.

After liberation, countless literary propaganda teams were active in the countryside fields. In the sixties and seventies, counties, townships (communes) and villages (brigades) basically set up their own literary propaganda teams. The party's policy can be timely publicity, good deeds can be timely encouragement, five cents of the award let a person's heart solid, exhaustion does not shout complaints, osmium death is willing to be a hero ghost, rich in fearless spirit of passion and fun.

After the reform and opening up, the literary propaganda team automatically disappeared, that is, it is difficult to hold a villagers' meeting. The people's mentality with the rapid development of China's economy is also changing, the formation of a "bowl of meat, open mouth cursing" of the boring narrative. The reason for the dullness of the narrative is that the heart is not good. Caused by the heart of the main reason is the central, provincial, municipal, county, village words and deeds are not consistent. Central policy to the grassroots level all changed flavor, due to the monopoly of the media local politics, the people call the voice of the central can not be heard, the fire gas pressure in the heart of nowhere to vent, eat meat is not good, can not curse the mother?

The State Council for the first time to allow the people to petition, China appeared on the ground all of a sudden thousands of petition team. This signal is so terrible that the state, in order to stabilize the social situation, introduced regulations on petitions, to deal with cases at the grassroots level. What the people reflect are grass-roots problems, which directly affect the personal interests of the grass-roots leaders, and can the grass-roots leaders handle them well? That is impossible.

Therefore, people complained, people scolded. There is no heavenly injustice people are not in the choice of petition, petitioners naturally do not settle, many of the problems about people's livelihoods of the central government can no longer be heard, the loss of the political significance of democratic supervision and participation in the political arena.

Since the 16th National Congress, the central government has increased its efforts to focus on people's livelihoods in the first place. From the national policy, high-level forums, deputies to the National People's Congress in the motion, the people can feel y appreciate this.

"Policies and strategies are the life of the party", how to penetrate the livelihood issues to the grassroots, the creation of the Chinese Cultural Festival is a feasible measure, is a people's project. Participation of all people, after the forum, can play the role of the people's heart, the real can make the central hear the voices of the people from all walks of life, democratic supervision and participation in politics is not in the political empty slogans, the real realization of this goal.

Third, active holiday atmosphere, promote cultural development.

There are many cultural festivals in China, and all ethnic groups have their own traditional festivals. The customary cultural aspects are Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Duanwu Festival, Harvest Festival, Festival of Sacrifice, Mid-Autumn Festival, Old Years' Festival, Ancestor Festival, Winter Solstice Festival, Water Splashing Festival, Grain Mashing Festival, and Embroidery Festival.

National festivals include May Day Labor Day, May 4th Youth Day, June 1st Children's Day, July 1st Party Day, August 1st Army Day, September 9th Teachers' Day, and 11th National Day.

Local cultural aspects are Confucius Cultural Festival, Laozi Cultural Festival, Fuxi Cultural Festival, Nuwa Cultural Festival, Yellow Emperor Cultural Festival, Cangjie Cultural Festival, Mazu Cultural Festival, etc. These are more influential cultural festivals. These are the more influential cultural festivals, plus many local temple fairs that have influenced the development of local culture and local economy for generations, there are hundreds of cultural festivals in China.

As you can see, China's cultural festivals are colorful. The state has organized many Chinese cultural years abroad in order for the world to better understand China. The business community, in order to let the world understand China's industrial culture, has organized Chinese cultural festivals in developed countries. This is indeed a good idea of economic strategy and a diplomatic way of political mutual trust. But how much influence can Chinese culture have in the minds of the world's people? How much economic benefit is there for the return on investment? If Chinese culture wants to go out of the world, it should first have its own standardized cultural festival. Only when they understand themselves and shape their self-image can the world rise to respect Chinese culture.

Culture is not only to appreciate, it has a strong infectious force and appeal, the more their own experience close to the actual life of the culture, the stronger the infectious force. The correct cultural orientation directly affects the development of education, and can play a role in promoting public opinion.

Since the 16th National Congress, the state policy on culture has begun to tilt, and financial allocations in the city, county, townships and townships of the three levels of the establishment of cultural stations. However, no matter how lively the news media reports, the number of truly functioning cultural centers at the county and township levels nationwide is not even 1%, and many politicians have invited theater groups to let the news media report on them to falsify their achievements.

In order to really make the cultural center play a social function, and to play the role of the people's heart to show the people's spirit, the founding of the Chinese cultural festival is a necessary measure.

The cultural station should focus on local culture, after the drama, sketches, dance, calligraphy and painting, songs, etc. to participate in municipal and provincial competitions, screening out good works to participate in the Chinese Cultural Festival people's competition. In this way, there are many cultural propaganda team active at the grassroots level, not only on the local cultural construction can play a driving force and promote the role of the local culture, and thus, really active folk festival atmosphere, reflecting the superiority of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Chapter 3: culture industry culture.

Culture plays a leading role in political stability, social and economic development. The establishment of humanistic culture drives the development of cultural industry chain and the prosperity of social economy. Industrial culture is closely related to people's daily life and is a tool to serve the development of humanistic culture.

Industrial culture is categorized into two aspects: spiritual culture and material culture.

First, spiritual culture is the soul of the nation: it is embodied in social dynamics, philosophical thinking, literature, fine arts, movies, theater, art, dance, songs, poems and other aspects.

Second, material culture is the wisdom of the nation: it is embodied in material processes such as wine, tea, pottery, architecture, sculpture and so on. Food culture is embodied in different regional customs and cultural life. Enterprises are embodied in textiles, clothing, casting, manufacturing, tourism and many other aspects.

Chapter 4: Purpose of the China Culture Festival Forum.

China is a multicultural country with many cultural sections. How to use the objective theory of the forum to the many cultural ideas dominated in one direction to come, the formation of people's subjective moral norms consciousness and desire is very important.

In the world of multiculturalism today, especially under the influence of Western material culture, if there is not a correct dominant direction, the public said the public reasoning, the mother-in-law said the reasoning of the mother-in-law, and the theory of the mutual attack, the contradiction between the cultures will become more prominent, the human subjective thinking of the consciousness of confusion.

The lack of unity of subjective consciousness will make the human heart restless, self-reasoning out of control, resulting in the loss of moral integrity. In order to bring the subjective consciousness of the people to a cohesive direction, we must adhere to the "people-oriented, harmonious society," the concept of publishing cultural forums, the sunny side of Chinese culture to show, standardize the moral thinking of the people, and those who are corrupt and ugly culture through the theoretical forums and theoretical refreshing after the complete removal of the theory of the sun.

Adhering to the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious society" as the guiding tenet of cultural theory is pragmatic, scientific, and humane. Only in the "people-oriented, harmonious society" concept to deepen the Chinese cultural memory, in order to make the Chinese culture to be inherited and carried forward, the real realization of the third great renaissance of Chinese culture.

It is very important to interpret the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious society" in a theoretical, pragmatic and scientific way. Only by arguing that Chinese culture stands in the perspective of human nature and moral norms responsible for society, will we y feel the importance of this purpose. It is only then that the ideas of "Neo-Confucianism, Neo-Moism and Neo-Taoism" will emerge to promote social development. If you stand on the selfish resentment of the extreme irresponsibility of the social point of view of Chinese culture, the guiding significance of this purpose is lost, the Chinese culture depicted even more ugly.

Human civilization is embodied in mutual respect, peaceful ****ing, and good neighborliness. Between ethnic groups, each has its own beliefs and cultural concepts, and only on the basis of the concept of humanistic harmony can we really realize social harmony. Therefore, only by adhering to the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious society", cutting off the withered culture of the technical pole, the vitality of Chinese culture theoretical to beautify, systematic and pragmatic scientific to refresh, to achieve the "ancient for the present, foreign for the use of China" new theories Chinese culture, in order to make Chinese culture to send out vitality, in order to make this great ancient nation full of vitality.
