Why should we pass on the classic culture, it is classic, not traditional!!!!

Cultural classics, that is, the *** same spiritual wealth of mankind. As we all know, since the Opium War, China has never stopped learning from the West, which certainly brought great benefits to China, but also inevitably bring impact to the traditional Chinese culture. Nowadays, how to inherit and protect the declining traditional culture has become an urgent task for the academia and the public. Since Mr. Cai Yuanpei abolished the "Study of the Classics", classical education has disappeared from the education system, and when we received Western-style education, we only adopted its forms, but did not (and could not) learn the belief systems and values that underpinned it, and coupled with the erroneous criticism and stigmatization of traditions during the ten years of turmoil, the "quick success and short-term profit" approach to education has become the norm in China. The should-type education has been running in China for so many years, and traditional culture and classical education have been almost lost in modern people, which has brought great trouble and loss to people, and the emergence of problems such as the confusion of beliefs, the lack of honesty, and the selfishness and lack of a public spirit is by no means accidental. Tzu said: rise in poetry, set up in rituals, and become in music. He hoped to cultivate people's spirit of truth, goodness and beauty through cultural classics and to promote all-round development, which is a visionary point. We have so many myths, legends, fables, idioms and other cultural classics, which contain many useful things. It is no secret that education in China is far less developed than in the West, and there are many areas in need of urgent improvement. It is also true that Chinese may be more difficult to learn than English, but these are not reasons to reject traditional culture. We should embrace the Western ideas of democracy, freedom and equality, but it may not be possible to achieve this by introducing the Bible and God into the classroom in the way that the West does. The Chinese have their own history and cultural traditions. If we betray them, how can we call ourselves Chinese and how can we be worthy of our ancestors and future generations? Why do some foreigners say that China nowadays is most unlike China? Shouldn't this cause us to reflect and pay enough attention? Inheriting Chinese culture and classics is a systematic project, which requires a group of public **** intellectuals who are rooted in the soil of traditional culture and are able to attract and learn from foreign cultures to reconstruct and remodel it, absorbing the essence and removing the dross. Now, Chinese culture needs not to revitalize and promote, but inheritance and protection, false and empty slogans shouted for so many years, in the end, how many practical measures to really put into practice, such as calligraphy, art, martial arts and other cultural styles, if you do not get in touch with and cultivate from childhood, can not become a part of the life of the individual, it will lose the real value of existence. Nowadays, promoting classical education among the public and maintaining sufficient vigilance in the face of Western culture in order to resist its aggression may be the most realistic and wisest choice for the inheritance and protection of Chinese culture. A Chinese, especially an educated Chinese, who betrays the code of honor, who abandons the way of loyalty to the king, that is, the name and righteousness of Confucius' state religion, is a Chinese who has lost the spirit of the nation, the spirit of the race, and is no longer a true Chinese. The Gypsies are our forebears, they are drifting like duckweed because they don't have their own national culture, and wherever they go they are discriminated against in spirit. Do not let our descendants fall, the classic culture is the backbone of a nation.
