First, did China's civilization develop independently from the mainland, or did it come from abroad?

Historically, various cultures have always conflicted and complemented each other. The only question is which side is strong and which side is weak. When the foreign culture is in a weak position relative to China culture, it can only play a supplementary role, such as the Huqu in the Western Regions since the Tang Dynasty. When foreign culture and China culture are evenly matched, it is both a challenge and a supplement, such as the national interests in the current WTO agreement; When foreign culture is strong for its own culture, its own culture is in a very dangerous situation, such as foreign European culture and Indian indigenous culture in North America. Therefore, we should also pay attention to maintaining a certain degree in the reform and opening up, that is to say, as long as we don't touch the core interests, foreign culture can only be a supplement (perhaps beneficial or harmful), but as long as we touch the core interests, it is not a matter of bargaining, but a matter of struggle when necessary.

I come from China, and I certainly have a Chinese dream. Many China people's dreams are ambitious and shocking. While I am ashamed, I also have a question: If there is no traditional culture in China, can these dreams come true? Can it be called the Chinese dream? Therefore, my dream is very simple, that is, to keep my roots in China and the roots of national culture.

How to maintain the independence of China's traditional culture on the basis of absorbing excellent western science, technology, culture and art? In other words, how to avoid being assimilated by western culture is a very, very important issue, even more important than whether we can move into developed countries. It doesn't matter if you are a little behind, "children and grandchildren are full", just keep catching up. We have retained our traditional culture and roots, and we are still unique China people; If we develop, but lose the dragon soul and roots, we will become Singaporeans who are proud of western culture and yellow bananas. Foreign guns can't break our roots, nor can sugar-coated shells. Isn't it a record? Ancient Indian and ancient Greek cultures were destroyed by great powers, and there is no reason for Chinese descendants to destroy the prosperous Chinese civilization.

For thousands of years, farming civilization has always been superior to nomadic civilization, so Confucian civilization can assimilate neighboring civilizations and have a far-reaching impact on neighboring countries. Now western civilization is popular, even more advantageous than Confucian civilization. The appearance of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation lies in economic rejuvenation and the essence lies in cultural rejuvenation. How can we keep our culture and carry forward Chinese culture in the world when we are inferior to the enemy? This problem is much more difficult than simple scientific and technological progress.

Culture is hard to change and hard to copy. Culture is a habit of ours, in short, just like the clothes we wear. We are used to wearing suits, because we are used to seeing the west. Are you used to foreigners wearing Tang suit? Are foreigners joking or are we joking?

Some people think that the world is one and there is no need to distinguish it clearly. Isn't it a good thing to connect with the world? Aren't drug abuse and AIDS in line with the world? Is this a good thing? No one wants to give such extreme examples, mainly because some people's thinking is too extreme. Only the national is the world. If a nation loses its own characteristics, it is doubtful whether it can keep the globe, and what qualifications do it have to belong to the world? What else do you talk about rising in the world? from

Pursuing form is a meaningless thing, at best, it is an emperor's new clothes. Can foreigners wear Tang suit to prove that we are in China? Foreigners wear Tang suit, which is a kind of respect for China culture at most. Into Chinese civilization? Stop dreaming. They are in a dominant position. Why do they want to change themselves? An Italian proverb says, "The strong don't need to change themselves". No matter how beautiful the call for democracy and freedom is, will white people give up their sovereignty? It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the United States. When has a non-white president been elected?

Over the years, we have learned the cruel competition and self-esteem of the West, but we have not learned the law-abiding and humanity of the West. Chinese honesty and morality have fallen to the bottom, and everyone wants to change. However, in the way of reform, there is a fierce collision between the two kinds of thinking, whether it is to transform the people with western style or to correct deviations with traditional culture. Sadly, this is limited to people of insight, and most people in China cannot consider this issue. In this era of extreme competition and self-expansion, how many people will turn to study national culture? To put it mildly, they are not very interested in fairness and justice in the West. Isn't the purpose of making money desperately to be superior and do whatever you want? Some people desperately call for equality and fairness, why not proceed from their own interests? Did they call for fairness for their competitors? Have they considered the whole industry? Have they considered the interests of the country and the nation? ……

If we follow the logic of westerners, I am afraid that countries ruled by law will have to do it for hundreds of years like Europe and the United States before they can get on the right track. Can China's revival wait so long? I'm afraid the traditional culture there does not exist. What's more, the revival of China should be the revival of Chinese traditional learning, not the revival of China's western learning. Transferred from 8 1.china.com

So how to carry forward traditional culture? Eight honors and eight disgraces are to carry forward traditional excellent culture. Traditional culture needs to be developed. Without development, culture will stagnate and perish. Not to mention the current cultural soil, recently there was a person who wanted to change the symbol of China people-the dragon. This is what intellectuals are most keen on now! An illiterate person knows that it will thunder five times, and he doesn't know whether this person is really confused or playing dumb.

Land and culture are non-renewable resources. If they die, they will never come back to life. Have ancient Indian and ancient Egyptian civilizations revived? If you die, you die. The gods will not bless any culture. There has never been a savior, and you can only change your destiny by yourself.

How to revive traditional culture? I have six humble opinions:

One is to change the dominant position of English.

We can't do it without changing the dominant position of English, decoupling degrees from English, rectifying the English industry with an annual income of 60 billion, and changing the situation that hundreds of thousands of international students kidnap 350 million students every year.

The practice of paying equal attention to mother tongue and English deserves reflection. Pay equal attention to it, but in fact it is impossible without English. The shrinking of Chinese, Chinese and Chinese studies shows that our language is facing a crisis.

The degree is linked to CET-4 and CET-6, but it is essentially a westernization movement. The best place to learn English in the world is Japan. How many years have Japanese studied English? Is China comparable to Japanese?

What is the purpose of learning English? Apply what you have learned! People's energy is limited. Don't really think that China people can have it both ways. The whole people have been learning English for many years. Why are English professionals still in short supply? It's not that the economy is developing too fast, but that CET-4 and CET-6 are too formal. Not only can't cultivate real talents, but it also encourages the style of study of fraud. Even if you pass the English major, it will take a long time. What's the use of such graduates? Since it has no effect, why waste a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources?

Second, eliminate China people's consciousness of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things from all aspects.

Worshipping foreigners and obsessing over foreigners is not a temporary superficial phenomenon, but a profound exposure of the crisis facing Chinese civilization. The last time I clamored to cancel Chinese medicine was typical. Traditional Chinese medicine is an indispensable part of China culture, and it is different from western medicine in world outlook and methodology. The fierce collision between Chinese civilization and western civilization in the medical field is not accidental. Nowadays, Chinese medicine is basically supported by some famous old Chinese medicine practitioners. Why? Cultivating Chinese medicine with western medicine can be described as "oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei". While Chinese medicine is going to the world but dying out in China, why does western medicine have to exterminate Chinese medicine? Is it really as simple as a scientific debate? In fact, there is no evidence to prove that Chinese medicine is invalid. The answer is actually very simple: when your child is used to western medicine treatment since childhood, can he be free from the influence of western culture? Many people used to deify KFC and McDonald's, but what happened? There is absolutely no way out without being integrated into the world. However, it is extremely dangerous to emphasize integration into the world without emphasizing the individuality of our national culture. For example, only emphasizing * * is the latitude and longitude of Rainbow, and only emphasizing personality is just like the Boxer Rebellion. How can we absorb the essence of western culture? As far as the impetuous academic circles are concerned, it is difficult to give a rational answer to the impetuous mentality of China people. It's good not to promote traditional culture, but the entertainment circle is still insulting traditional culture again and again. Where should China culture go? Experts from relevant departments and all the people of China should think about it.

Third, we should attach importance to religious beliefs. People need to have faith, whether you believe in religion or not. Only when you have faith can you have a moral system and a outlook on life and values. People without faith are terrible, and everything in the existing society is not worthy of his awe. But faith can be cultivated, and different cultures will cultivate different beliefs. Talk about religion again.

My hometown is in the countryside of northern Jiangsu. The big girls, little wives and old ladies there are now fascinated by Catholicism and rush to the county town to attend mass every weekend. Starting at two or three in the morning is more active than making money. What does it mean that there are two Catholic churches in a county (excluding township churches)? Why did so many missionaries follow after foreign guns entered China? Religion is a part of culture. My parents may be nearsighted. Can we defenders of traditional culture be short-sighted?

The Four Neo-Confucianism Movements are good, but don't go astray. Confucianism is a part of China's traditional culture, but Confucianism is not the whole of China's traditional culture, let alone the only one. Make the past serve the present, don't bend history, let alone repeat it. It is the correct attitude to take the essence and discard the dross. The most gratifying thing is that the Neo-Confucian movement and the children's Bible reading movement are spontaneous among the people, which shows the rational return of China people to traditional culture. Therefore, I have full confidence in my country and nation.

Fifth, the poison of network language in Hong Kong and Taiwan to culture should not be underestimated. Take the most common "I love you" as an example, which is a sick sentence. There are many new words on the Internet, some of which are very helpless. But there are many teenagers surfing the internet. Will they spread false information? Can't take it lightly! If language cancer is allowed to run rampant, we don't have to wait to be defeated by English, but self-destruction is enough.

The sixth is to learn from Japan and South Korea.

How to integrate into the world while maintaining their own national characteristics? Japan and South Korea set excellent examples. Don't blush, Japan and South Korea pay more attention to etiquette, national culture and national cohesion than we do. Why not learn from their advantages?

Finally, I repeat: without the inheritance of Chinese culture, there can be no Chinese dream. Even if there is, it should be called my American dream, my European dream. It is impossible for children who study classics by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to undertake the task of reviving China's traditional culture! ! In recent years, people in China often talk about the culture of local scholars. In order to keep our culture alive, various measures have been taken everywhere. Wuhan held the activity of wearing Hanfu to attend the adult ceremony, and other places also had their own tricks. In my opinion, this practice is completely unnecessary. The ingredients of their show are far greater than the actual meaning. How to continue a culture is very important for the development and survival of a civilization. However, this does not mean that a civilized culture can stick to the formed cultural form without changing it, so as to survive. The closed-door policy of the Qing Dynasty has not changed much in China's culture for hundreds of years, which almost ruined the future of Chinese civilization in the hands of foreign powers who opened our country with foreign guns. This practice had similar examples in earlier dynasties. If this happens again and again, our civilization will lag behind the world again and again. Once upon a time, we were the most powerful civilization in the world, with the most advanced technology, the most perfect poetry, the greatest writer, the smartest mathematician, and the most diligent geography and astronomy professionals. Our achievements have made other civilizations all over the world feel "above". But with persistence again and again, the distance between us and the world has been narrowed again and again, until one day, we are no longer the untouchable advanced and powerful empire in their hearts. Then, in persistence again and again, the distance between us and the world is getting bigger and bigger, leaving only the concept that foreign things are better than local things in our hearts. The great development of Chinese civilization always coincides with foreign exchange. In the prosperous new century, all countries came to Korea, and then, China made many breakthroughs in science and technology. At that time, we built the world's first seismograph which can effectively monitor long-distance earthquakes. We made an extremely accurate planetarium, and we calculated pi to seven decimal places. Our voyage technology allows us to take our technology to other parts of the world and bring back new cultural elements from there. We are constantly merging cultures from all over the world. Our culture has developed in this constant integration, and we have to re-examine our values, our ethics, our scientific theoretical system and our philosophical system. In an earlier period, a hundred schools of thought contended and a hundred flowers blossomed. Those who had not yet become "sons" and "families" began to wander around in small countries, trying to prove their ideas to each other. This is called "study tour". It is this kind of study tour that created the situation of letting a hundred flowers blossom later. Our culture, without political interference, has always been eclectic, and our culture has grown up in such an environment. It is precisely because of the impact of other cultures in the world that our culture can grow further. Or kaiyuan shengshi? Before that, people in China were sitting on the floor or sitting on short stools (it was Japan who went to learn from China, so it became a tramp). Even the emperor, the webbed for traveling and sitting is not high. As I said before, the prosperity of Kaiyuan was a situation in which all countries came to North Korea. Among them were Persians, who brought the chairs they used. At the beginning, this thing was not called a chair in our country, but called a "Hu bed". Hu means Persia. The "chair" of the Tang Dynasty had no backrest, and even if it had one, it was too short to be carried at all. In the Song Dynasty, Mongolian and Ligustrum lucidum cultures were introduced into Chinese civilization (some decorative patterns, such as the overlapping of water ripples, are still in use today), so we have more chairs with chairs, and the layout of the chairs is imitated from the upper cabinets used in Mongolia at that time. Mongolia is located in the grassland, and there is not much wood, so all materials are mainly economical. The lower floor of their cabinets can be closed, while the upper floor has only three sides, forming a "U" shape. In this way, in nomadism, it is only necessary to put the cabinet slightly obliquely, so that the articles will not fall out, and at the same time, it is not necessary to close the other sides (front and top). In many contents of China culture, we can see traces of other cultural elements. It's not just chairs. The bowls and chopsticks we use, the shapes of porcelain in different dynasties, and the composition and techniques of ink painting are all permeated with various cultural elements. Our culture is open, and we have never deliberately refused any culture to enter our territory. Compared with thousands of years ago, our present culture does not have much in common on the surface, because we have always absorbed advanced parts from other cultures and integrated them into our culture after transformation. Our culture has not refused to change for fear of being changed. Because of the vastness of our culture, every time we "bring it", it will not have a destructive impact on our culture itself, and every time we "bring it", it will gradually be assimilated by more local cultures. Our culture is both open and eclectic, and we are never afraid of the impact of foreign cultures. In the development of history, our culture is also developing constantly. We can't say which period of culture is the standard cultural form of Chinese civilization. Hanfu is a specific form of clothing culture in a certain period of our culture, which may be different from our current ideology, but we can't think that the culture represented by Hanfu and the culture we have now are two cultures. Our culture is developing and its appearance is advancing with the times. So, we live in a building, use computers, wear suits and take aspirin when we have a cold. But this does not mean that our culture has been shattered under the impact of the current world culture. We should also see that we live in a building, and immediately began to complain that such an environment is not convenient to visit, so our building room has a small garden, a chess table and a bench; We use computers, but our necessary accounting tool is abacus. Our abacus is in the hands of professionals, and in some cases we can get the answer faster than ordinary computers. Although we wear suits, our children basically wear braids or tiger hats; We use aspirin to treat colds, but we still take the same tonic in autumn and winter, and we will still see Chinese medicine for diseases that western medicine can't see. Therefore, no matter how great changes have taken place in our culture now, the essence of our local culture is the deepest in our hearts. One day, it will assimilate these new cultural elements into our unique cultural elements bit by bit. With this assimilation process, our culture has developed.

Satisfied, please adopt.
