The influence of China's ancient poems on modern times 1000 words

China's 5,000-year-old civilization and culture have both regional and national characteristics and characteristics of the times. Historically speaking, China culture includes not only traditional culture with a long history, but also modern culture with great changes in China cultural tradition. The traditional culture of China is the main part of China culture, and it is also a rich historical heritage that we inherited from our ancestors. It not only records the history of the emergence and evolution of the Chinese nation and China culture, but also permeates the blood of everyone in China as a way of thinking, values, codes of conduct and customs handed down from generation to generation, which restricts the behavior and way of thinking of China people today. China's traditional culture is not simply equivalent to Confucian culture, nor is it the simple sum of Confucian culture, Taoist culture and Buddhist culture, but the sum of various ideological cultures in China, including various ideological and material forms of culture. There are many traditional cultures in China. I recommend poems and songs first, because in my mind, they are the most special and representative. I have loved Tang poetry since I was a child, and I feel that the lasting appeal of words is more profound. Later, I dabbled in many things, and felt that China's culture was profound and profound. I couldn't help feeling that the talents of the ancients were incomparable to those of modern people. Sometimes when I read too many poems, I feel that there is a clear feeling in my bones and I can forget everything. I would rather "pick chrysanthemums under the east fence" and throw away the hustle and bustle. Some people say I'm too emotional. I don't deny it. Sometimes when I read a poem, I suddenly understand the poet's feelings, and my heart is very uncomfortable. It's easy to be controlled by that poem, and then my heart aches. I know the profound influence of China's traditional culture. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, China's traditional culture, including Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, writing, painting, architecture and sculpture, has been introduced to Japan. Since then, it has had a far-reaching influence on some countries in South Korea, Southeast Asia and South Asia, such as the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and other countries and regions, and Zheng He's seven voyages to the West have deepened this influence. As a result, the East Asian cultural circle with China culture as the core has been recognized by the world, especially the economic take-off and rise of the four Asian Little Dragons, with the focus on their relationship with China culture. As the younger generation in China, we should inherit and develop the traditional culture of the motherland and strive to promote cultural progress. Before: traditional culture guided the process of human civilization and embodied the national culture. She has always been a part of human civilization. Now, we should shoulder the great responsibility and dedicate the excellent Chinese culture to human society, instead of blindly enjoying the achievements of modern civilization created by others. Future: if the nation wants to develop, the national culture must develop. Standing today, it is our mission and unshirkable responsibility to inherit cultural traditions, create modern forms of national culture and inherit the future of the nation. Whistleblower added 2011-10-0514: 49 Traditional technical culture has particularity and nationality, while modern technical culture has universality and cosmopolitanism. Correctly understand and handle the relationship between tradition and modernity, so that our country or nation's scientific and technological culture is both national and world-wide, which requires breaking the closed mode of our own tradition by implementing cultural and scientific and technological changes, so that our country's scientific and technological culture can be integrated into the world. At the same time, we should maintain the relative independence and diversification of domestic technology and culture.

In a dilemma-

The relationship between tradition and modernity

Reflected in technology transfer

For developing countries including China, the relationship between tradition and modernity is a very important issue. This is because, although developing countries have made great achievements in the process of implementing technology transfer and promoting their own social development, they have encountered the following dilemmas: First, if technology transfer is implemented comprehensively and deeply, although it will promote the rapid development of their own technology and economy, the cultural spread caused by the continuous input of foreign technology will bring serious impact to their own or their own traditional technology and culture. As a result, the traditional technology and culture of this nation may lose their independence or even collapse. Secondly, if we absorb foreign technology and reject its culture just to strengthen national consciousness and carry forward traditional culture, although we can maintain the integrity of our national traditional cultural system, it runs counter to the objective requirements of modernization, which hinders the in-depth development of technology transfer and may lead to our nation or country falling behind again.

Then, how to correctly understand and deal with the relationship between Chinese traditional technical culture and foreign modern technical culture, that is, how to correctly understand and deal with the relationship between tradition and modernity? Theoretically speaking, traditional technology and culture are mostly special, while modern technology and culture are mostly universal. Therefore, the relationship between tradition and modernity can be attributed to the particularity and universality of technology and culture. This problem has attracted the attention of many scholars. UNESCO also held an international seminar entitled "Modernity and Individuality" around this issue.

Different attitudes-

Foreign technical and cultural views facing the relationship between tradition and modernity

In ancient times, China and China made great achievements far ahead of other countries in the world at that time. Therefore, they have formed a "cultural centralism" and a view of foreign technology and culture, that is, China is the center of world culture and does not need to learn from other countries. Only by surrendering to China can all countries in the world survive and develop. This attitude decided that technology transfer at that time could only be one-way export, rather than actively introducing technology at the same time. As a foreign scholar said, "During the two thousand years from 200 BC to 1800 AD, China gave more to the West than she got from the West". In modern times, although China was opened to the outside world by western powers, they still did not change the above attitude, still despised western technology and culture, and hindered the transfer of foreign technology. After the Westernization Movement, China changed the above attitude, and formed a foreign technical and cultural view of "Chinese style and western use", that is, on the premise of not changing his traditional social culture, he incorporated western technical artifacts into China's technical and cultural system and applied them. Influenced by it, although modern China introduced advanced western technical tools, especially advanced military weapons, it failed to absorb the advanced western technical management system, social system and cultural thoughts in time. For example, Chinese enterprises implement the management system of "official operation" or "official supervision over business operation", which restricts the development of enterprises and makes technology transfer have little effect. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the reformists implemented cultural changes such as the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911, that is, they recognized and introduced western technical systems and cultural and political systems, promoted technology transfer, and revised the concept of "learning from China and using the West". However, due to the incomplete victory of the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911, the cultural change was not finally completed, and the theory of "Chinese style and western use" was not completely changed. Under the restriction of feudal and corrupt political system, technology transfer failed to promote the rapid development of modern science and technology culture in China. After the founding of New China, under the situation of international political struggle at that time, China fully understood and introduced the technology and culture of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to build socialism. During the Cultural Revolution, China basically rejected foreign technology and culture and independently developed its own technology and culture, which led to the stagnation of technology transfer. After the reform and opening up, China began to actively introduce western technology and culture, and at the same time actively exported its own technology and culture.

Japan was backward in ancient times.

It is in China that foreign technical and cultural views of "cultivating talents with soul" and "cultivating talents with soul" were formed. Among them, the "rope soul" in "rope soul" refers to the ideological system of "fate * * *" spontaneously produced by ancient Japanese, which is the embryonic form of "harmony" thought; "camouflage" means including

Mainland technology including China. "Rope spirit and talents" means that in the era of "rope pattern-yayoi" (equivalent to China from the end of primitive society to the Qin and Han Dynasties), the Japanese coexisted and unified local science and technology culture with foreign science and technology culture to form their own science and technology culture. "Harmony with Soul and Talent" is derived from "Harmony with Soul and Talent". "Harmony soul" includes not only "rope soul", but also Confucian culture in China and Indian Buddhist culture. "Han Cai" refers to the technology of China after the Han Dynasty, including not only the technical artifacts in Camouflage, but also the technical system and its concepts. Under the guidance of the above ideas, the ancient Japanese actively introduced and absorbed China's technology (such as various ironware) and culture, and innovated technology and culture with their own national characteristics. Faced with the intimidation of western powers, modern Japan, like China, initially adopted an exclusive attitude, but after the Meiji Restoration, it changed its attitude, that is, it changed from "harmony with Chinese talents" to "harmony with foreign talents", that is, it adhered to its traditional technical culture and applied modern western technical utensils and social and cultural systems, which promoted the development of technology and economy and made Japan quickly become a capitalist power. Of course, Japan's thought of "harmony with foreign talents" also has its shortcomings, that is, when Japan introduced western political and legal thoughts, it chose to absorb German nationalist thoughts in line with "harmony", but rejected bourgeois democratic political and legal thoughts of freedom, equality and fraternity advocated by countries such as Britain, the United States and France, and suppressed the relative freedom and civil rights movement. This laid the ideological foundation for Japan to breed nationalism and fascist militarism in the future and pushed Japan into the abyss of the war of aggression. After the war, Japan carried out democratic reforms under the strong intervention of the United States, abolished wartime feudalism, recognized and introduced technology and culture from Europe and America, and changed from introducing German nationalism and legal system to introducing bourgeois democracy and legal system from Europe and America. However, the Japanese emperor's consciousness still exists, and militaristic forces have repeatedly risen. It can be said that modern Japan generally followed the diplomatic attitude of "harmony with foreign talents". After the 1980s, with the transformation of the strategy of "building the country through science and technology" and the mode of technological invention from imitation and synthesis to independent creation, Japan's technology transfer also changed from the original technology introduction to technology export. However, there are many cultural frictions in the process of technology export. This requires Japan to completely change its foreign technical and cultural concept of "harmony with foreign talents" to meet the needs of technology transfer in the new era. However, Japan has not achieved obvious results in this regard. In the United States, when white Europeans have not yet entered the American continent, Indians have created their own unique technology and culture through the efforts of several generations. Since Columbus discovered this continent in 1492, white Europeans have come here. Facing the technology and culture of white people, Indians generally accept the utility of white people's technical utensils, selectively introduce technical utensils (such as guns and knives) to help them hunt and fight, and refuse to accept the social system and values of white people, thus causing cultural friction with white people. However, in the whole Indian nation, each tribe has a different attitude towards whites. For example, the Iroquois and the tribes of the five major civilizations have absorbed the technical artifacts and cultural systems of the white people and changed their traditional customs, but they have tried to maintain their own cultural traditions. On the contrary, the Indians of the Great Plains tribe stubbornly retained their traditional technology and culture, completely rejected the technology and culture of white people, and opposed it by force. Finally, it is difficult to resist the impact of whites, and the living territory and resources are decreasing day by day, leading to poverty and decline.

After the whites came to America, facing the traditional backward technical culture of Indians, they naturally produced the foreign technical and cultural view of white technical and cultural centralism. They forced the Indians to accept their own rule and made it a part of the white national culture. To this end, they slaughtered the rebellious Indians by force, destroyed their religious idols, forced them to give up their own religious culture, converted to white Christian culture, and finally completely assimilated Indian culture. The attitude and behavior of white people have been resisted by Indians, which has caused cultural friction in the process of technology transfer to Indians. Cultural frictions like this still exist in the United States today, which fully shows that the racist foreign technical and cultural views held by whites are completely wrong. India has created the world-famous ancient Indian Buddhist culture and its architecture and carving (engraving) technology, making the Indian cultural circle one of the three major cultural circles in the world. In addition to introducing China's four great inventions, sericulture and silk weaving technology, ancient India mainly exported Buddhist culture and architectural art to China, from where it spread to Korea and Japan. It can be seen that ancient India adopted the concept of "Indian cultural centralism" in its foreign relations, and the technology transfer under its guidance was mainly one-way output. In modern times, India was forced to establish a country under the pressure of western powers and became a British colony. Britain first conquered India by force and destroyed India's traditional industries, and then imposed the capitalist political system and economic system on India, thus destroying India's traditional social structure and the feudal manor system characterized by feudalism. In addition, Britain also tried to use English as the official language of India, forcing Indians to abandon Buddhism and convert to Christianity, so as to achieve the goal of fully assimilating Indian culture. In this regard, although Indians were forced to accept British technical artifacts and capitalist cultural system, they rejected British Christian culture and insisted on maintaining their own cultural traditions, thus waging an indomitable struggle against British colonialists. Today, Indians are still trying to maintain and carry forward their traditional culture. Therefore, it can be said that since modern times, India has formed a foreign technical and cultural concept similar to "harmony with foreign talents", that is, "Buddha's soul and foreign talents", and the technology transfer affected by it is limited to the scope of material and institutional layers, while India's cultural traditions and technical characteristics remain at the conceptual level.

In the historical process of technology transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, active or passive, most of the above-mentioned countries recognize and absorb foreign technical artifacts, or recognize or reject foreign social and cultural systems, completely reject foreign cultural values and safeguard their own cultural traditions in understanding and dealing with the relationship between tradition and modernity. It is precisely because of this that these countries or nations can recognize and introduce foreign technological artifacts in advance, but they lag behind in introducing their social and cultural systems and values, thus causing cultural friction and affecting technology transfer.

Cultural change and nationalization of technology—

Understand and treat tradition

Countermeasures for the relationship with modern times

How to correctly understand and handle the relationship between tradition and modernity, eliminate cultural friction and promote technology transfer and social development?

If China's traditional social and cultural system and the technological system under its influence objectively lag behind foreign social and cultural systems, then we should decisively implement cultural changes; If China's social and cultural system is objectively superior to that of foreign countries, then we should adhere to this system and reform various management systems to which it belongs. In addition, if the value concept of domestic technical culture objectively lags behind that of foreign technical culture, it should be updated by absorbing foreign cultural concepts. Many cultural changes implemented in modern China ended in failure and failed to completely change its backward state. This shows that it is urgent and arduous to implement technological and cultural changes in China. For China at present and in the future, it is still an unfinished historical task to implement technological and cultural changes.

The traditional ones are not all backward, and there are excellent ingredients to inherit and carry forward, while the modern ones are not all healthy, and there are dross ingredients to be discarded and eliminated. It is very important to understand and deal with the relationship between tradition and modernity with a sublation attitude.

In dealing with the relationship between traditional technology culture and modern technology culture, we can't completely abandon it, and blindly pursue "high, refined and sophisticated" high-tech or high-tech, which will breed the so-called "modern culture" of liberalization and selfishness. On the contrary, it is necessary to strengthen the transformation of traditional technologies or industries with modern high-tech or high-tech, and actively absorb foreign excellent cultures on the basis of promoting excellent traditional cultures. Therefore, carrying forward the excellent elements of Chinese traditional technical culture and localizing and nationalizing foreign technical culture through technological culture innovation can not only promote the development of Chinese traditional technical culture, but also maintain its relative independence. At present, China's reform and opening up is a huge and profound cultural change. China relies on cultural changes to integrate its technology and culture into the tide of the world; To make China's technology and culture go to the world, at the same time, it is necessary to revitalize and develop national technology and culture through the nationalization of technology and culture, and to nationalize China's technology and culture. China will make greater contributions in the development of 2 1 century!
