Introduction to China's Traditional Culture

1. The humanization of nature refers to the changes of natural factors and natural relations caused by human practical activities in practice. Culture is the sum of material wealth and spiritual wealth created by human beings in the process of social and historical development. The so-called change of the former is the so-called creation of the latter, both of which are caused by human activities and both of which are based on the development of human beings in nature.

2. The most fundamental reason is that the degree of social development is different in different historical periods, just like traditional geographical obstacles (such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) can be crossed today. In addition, different historical periods will have different cultural environments, so people's understanding of geographical factors will react to the influence of geographical factors on people.

3. Since the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, China has established the Song Law System in which the father died and the son succeeded. Under the Song-French system, China people's relatives were all based on the paternal line. This formed China's traditional social structure based on patrilineal family, which was the basis of China's series of thoughts of "family is the country and the world". It is also the origin of China's "Outline" theory.

4. In terms of science and technology, the traditional field of science and technology in Ming and Qing Dynasties is still in a leading position, and the introduction of European water conservancy law has certain new era characteristics; Anti-feudal democratic thoughts have emerged in the ideological field, such as Wang Yangming's criticism of the existence of the monarch; From the perspective of literature and art, the rise of novels opposes feudal system and feudal ethics in content and pursues individuality in form;

5. The high unity of art and morality is the inner spirit of China's art, and the important function of traditional art is to cultivate sentiment and help the accomplishment of personality ideal imperceptibly.

The highest state of China's art is the unity of heaven and man. China ancient art attached great importance to the emotional factors in human life, and only works of art with emotion were full of artistic vitality.

6. China's ancient educational thought paid attention to ethical relations, cultivated traditional talents, handled interpersonal relations according to ethics and morality, and maintained traditional order. Education aims at moral people and excludes utilitarianism. The core of valuing human nature, ignoring nature and skills lies in morality and ethics.

7. After thousands of years of development, China's traditional culture has become a high-level cultural form, which is both national and international. Therefore, we don't need to worry that our national culture will lose its nationality. Judging from the historical track, our culture can be integrated into a brand-new environment and has strong vitality. But our culture will be shuffled again and again, providing a new source of power for its development.
