Who is the main discussion about culture and politics in China?

The discussion of China's culture and politics is mainly carried out among Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism.

Political thoughts in traditional culture;

1. The characteristics of tolerance

Generally speaking, assimilation should be a typical feature of China's traditional political thought. Since the popularity of political thoughts, they have never developed in isolation. Although sometimes some orthodox Confucianists discriminate against people who don't belong to the same inner circle. But in the long run, these ideas are not mutually exclusive. For ancient elites, tolerance is a virtue, and many politicians are experts in different ideas.

2. Conservative nature

This "conservative" nature is different from stopping reform, and it is not to underestimate the significance of reform. The role of "conservatism" is also obvious. First of all, conservative political thoughts make society relatively stable. Although war and reform may be powerful, the original political model or thought will become the ideal that people pursue. Secondly, conservative political thought is the guarantee of deepening research. Due to the concentration of thoughts, China's traditional political thoughts have become more profound and refined.

3. Clan characteristics

The biggest feature of China traditional society is the activity center. We can see that feudal rulers also found that every family was the root of society and the basis of rules, so they tried to apply the idea of rules to families.

This characteristic has influenced the development of the political environment. On the one hand, it maintained the feudal system. For individuals, even if they give their lives, they can't betray this system. On the other hand, it is not conducive to democratic construction. In ancient times, people's routes were arranged by their clans, and the idea of individual independence was restricted, especially for women. The expansion of clan standard makes China people handle things according to human feelings rather than rationality, which will inevitably have a certain impact on social justice.
