Do the three obediences and four virtues belong to a backward culture or a decadent culture?

Ancient China has always been a country that emphasized tradition. There have always been many feudal ideas circulated, and the three obediences and four virtues are typical feudal ideas.

In today's era of development and prosperity, this kind of thinking is no longer suitable for the development of contemporary society and has hindered today's socialism. Therefore, it currently belongs to the category of backward culture.

Backward culture does not mean decadent culture. Therefore, although the three obediences and four virtues are not suitable for current development, there are still many principles in them that contemporary people should follow.

Today let us discuss the reasons behind the three obediences and four virtues!

1. The society is different. Backward thinking has always emphasized the social concept of male superiority and female inferiority in ancient society. Therefore, the three obediences and the four virtues were highly praised by people in ancient society.

In ancient times, women did not have any rights, so people used the three obediences and the four virtues to severely restrict women's thoughts.

But in today's society, everyone is born equal between men and women. In the general environment of socialism with Chinese characteristics, there is no ideological concept that men are superior to women. Therefore, the three obediences and four virtues are no longer suitable for today's society, so strictly speaking, it is a backward culture rather than

Decaying culture.

It can only be said that it is no longer suitable for today's society, but it cannot be said to be decadent.

2. Traditional culture is a learned and backward culture. It just does not belong to the development of the contemporary era, and it does not have a derogatory meaning.

And decadent culture is something that people should abandon and should not learn from.

Although the three obediences and four virtues are not suitable for today's society, modern people should learn some principles from them.

There is no circle without rules. These three obediences and four virtues are the traditions of the Chinese nation. We have also learned some basic principles, which are beneficial to our future development.

So one should memorize them, but not learn them.

Today's society has always emphasized governing the country according to law and persuading people with virtue. However, those backward traditional concepts have been gradually forgotten by people after the reform and opening up, and the three obediences and four virtues are no longer used by people.

This is certainly a good thing, but we must be clear that it still has value as traditional culture and is not a type of decadent culture. It is just no longer suitable for modern society.
