Be wary of two wrong tendencies in the treatment of traditional culture is ( )

Correct understanding of the treatment of traditional Chinese culture must be wary of two erroneous trends or tendencies: cultural retrofuturism and historical nihilism.

There are two wrong trends of thought to be opposed in the treatment of traditional morality. One is the trend of cultural retrofuturism, which holds that the reason why China is backward is because of the loss of traditional culture, especially Confucianism. Therefore, it is necessary to "return to the roots and start a new one".

The other is the trend of historical nihilism, that traditional Chinese morality as a whole has lost its value and significance today, and cannot meet the needs of China's modernization, and must be completely rejected as a whole.

These two kinds have severed the relationship between ****ness and individuality, abstraction and concreteness, generality and individuality, universality and particularity. In dealing with traditional Chinese morality, the retro theory recognizes only its generality and universality while denying its individuality and particularity, and equates traditional things with modern things, which in fact is a denial of the history and development of morality.

The most fundamental thing in correctly treating the traditional culture of our country is realizing that there are a lot of things that are worth carrying forward in our country. Traditional culture has a lot of things worth carrying forward, but there are also some things that do not adapt to the times and need to be discarded. Simply put, to treat traditional culture is to take the essence and discard the dregs, and extract the culture that is conducive to promoting the positive energy of the times and enhancing the social atmosphere.

For example, in the Twenty-four Filial Piety, which describes many ancient deeds of filial piety, is a classical household name in our country, but some of them may be touching and heartfelt in ancient times, while in today's society to see is not in line with the social values of the story, it is not worthwhile for us to learn and emulate.

We have to be selective in our learning, not blindly accepting them wholesale, because some stories are absurd, unrealistic and not helpful to us, then there is no need to study them.

As for the great thinkers like Confucius, Laozi, and Wang Yangming, we can study their writings, stories, and ways of being in the world, and learn from their thoughts. Confucius told us that "there is no such thing as a class", and that no matter what kind of student we are, we all have the right to learn, and that learning is no longer the right of the rich.
