The position and function of China traditional culture, and how to make use of China traditional culture?

China's traditional social and political structure has three influences on China culture:

First of all, the patriarchal social structure features led to the formation of China's cultural ethics paradigm. Its positive value is to strengthen the cohesion of the Chinese nation, pay attention to moral cultivation, and become a state of etiquette, while its negative effect is to make ethical preaching, self-cultivation and xenophobia of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Permanent Principles become obstacles to the healthy development of China culture.

Second, the autocratic characteristics of China's social structure led to the formation of China's cultural and political paradigm. Its positive value is to cultivate the overall concept of the Chinese nation, the concept of the supremacy of national interests and national psychological and cultural identity, and its negative value is to make China people have a serious obedience mentality, superstitious authority and power, and lack of personal self-confidence.

Third, the combination of patriarchal clan system and autocracy. Politically, it shows the confluence of Confucianism and law. Culturally, it reflects the politicization and political ethicalization of ethics. It highlights the mentality of being a saint inside and a king outside, that is, the life ideal and pursuit of self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world.
