How to Objectively Recognize Chinese Traditional Culture and Western Ideas of Democracy and Science

Traditional Chinese culture is the crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese thought, and different regions of China have different humanities, geography and other factors that make Chinese culture present different styles. But Chinese culture is not all positive things, from the historical legacy of feudal superstitions and other backward and corrupt culture is the Chinese society's ills, so we have to look at the traditional Chinese culture dialectically, take the essence, remove the dregs, the old for the new, the ancient for the present. And we should face the world, learn from all the strengths, so that Chinese culture can become an excellent culture conducive to the world, conducive to the development of China.

Western democracy and scientific thought originated in the ancient Greek Socrates period, the initial thought is "humanism" that is, "man is the measure of all things in the world", "virtue is knowledge". ". After the development of Plato and Aristotle, it finally formed the prototype of modern Western thought. The Italian Renaissance of the 14th century and the Reformation of the 15th century gave rise to the spirit of freedom and adventure in the West. The advent of the Age of Reason in the 16th century eventually led to the spread of the ideas of democracy and science. The idea of democracy and science is exactly the construction standard that China adheres to in the present social form, (power is used by the people, profit is sought by the people) (science is the first productive force). Therefore, the democratic and scientific ideas should be vigorously carried forward and adhere to.
