The Conflict between Traditional Culture and Modern Culture in China

On the conflict between traditional culture and modern culture;

1, China is carrying out socialist modernization. On the one hand, it promotes cultural progress, on the other hand, it is influenced and restricted by culture.

2. As the cultural background of the modernization process, the traditional culture of China, which is characterized by small-scale peasant economy, deviates from the modern culture based on promoting individuality and pursuing maximum benefits in form and content, and hinders the development of modernization with its unique negative effects. At the same time, it is inevitably impacted by modern culture in the social development, and forms various conflicts with it.

3. Modern culture promotes modernization. In China, modern culture should conform to the psychology of China people, reflect the essence of the times, sublate traditional culture, absorb the excellence of western culture, and gradually establish a modern socialist culture with China characteristics in the conflict and integration of various cultural factors.

4. Therefore, the establishment of modern culture must solve the problems of how to treat traditional culture, the relationship between traditional culture and modern culture, and the essence and dross of traditional culture.

5. The essence and dross of China traditional culture coexist. The only scientific attitude is to inherit its essence and discard its dross, which can be called "discarding its dross". We can neither affirm everything nor engage in national cultural conservatism, nor deny everything and engage in national cultural nihilism.

6. Modern culture is closely related to traditional culture. Any nation will produce a unique national culture in its development process.

7. This culture develops with the development of our nation. When a new system comes into being, it will not only criticize and exclude some unsuitable parts of the old culture, but also leave its essence and sublimate it through "transformation" to meet the needs of the new economic base and political system.
