Some people say that the essence of China traditional culture is a word "slow"? Is that reliable?

I don't think this is reliable. What made it appear? Slow? Influenced by conditions and culture, it is not an essential problem. Isn't the essence of China traditional culture? Slow? Our traditional culture is still very enterprising and strives for development.

So-called? Slow? In fact, compared with modern times, various signs are indeed much slower, but this is not the essence of traditional culture, but is limited by many conditions, which makes it slow. Some people will say that in the past, letters from horses and chariots were slow, traditional farming life was not slow, and traditional tea art was not slow. Then I will tell you one by one that this is not the essence of traditional culture, but some factors.

First, the traffic is slow, which is caused by traffic conditions. As we know, the road was rugged in the past, and the traditional means of transportation was carriage. Because the road is not easy to walk, and the conditions of the horses themselves, the horses and chariots walk slowly and the letters go back and forth slowly, which is not what people expected at that time. Otherwise, why is there always urgent news? Flying pigeons pass books? On the other hand, if the essence is slow, then wait slowly.

Second, the seemingly leisurely farming life is actually not slow, but adapts to climate change. In the poet's poems, the traditional farming life always seems so leisurely. In fact, this is not the case, because different crops have different growth cycles, and the planting speed will also slow down because of the different climate. Just like rice, there are only two sowing cycles in a year. You just want to be quick, the climate doesn't allow it. It's no use planting it. When the season is wrong, you can only do something else, wait for it to grow naturally, and wait for the season to come.

Third, in traditional culture? Tea culture? Not slow, but tasty. For example, if you want to drink a cup of authentic kungfu tea in Chaoshan area, you have to go through proper procedures. Otherwise it's not the same as drinking a big bowl of tea. It seems that drinking a cup of tea is slow, but in fact, every process contains essential factors. Once one of the processes is missing, the charm is gone.

China's traditional culture is colorful, not one? Slow? Words can represent, so some people say that the essence of China traditional culture is? Slow? This is extremely wrong because he doesn't know enough about our traditional culture.
