What is the relationship between the closeness of China's geographical location and the closeness of traditional culture?

China traditional culture has introverted temperament, harmonious style and ethical core, which is closely related to the geographical environment of China.

(A) introverted temperament and geographical environment "closed outside, active inside", desert and ocean barrier, rich in internal resources, China people have created their own agricultural civilization and typical introverted cultural temperament. This introverted temperament is manifested in many aspects.

For example, "China is also in the world" fully embodies the global view of ancient China people; In architectural culture, the walls in China are particularly developed, and the traditional houses are also surrounded by high walls, with closed space and poor permeability; In land development, we pay attention to exploring land and inland, and never explore overseas;

Spiritually, pay attention to exploring people's inner world, secular life and real world, and pay attention to reality. It does not pay attention to exploring the natural world like Greek culture, nor to exploring the spiritual world like Middle East-India culture, nor to exploring the natural world, religious life and future world like Western culture. ?

(2) Harmony in style and geographical environment Although China is backed by the desert and faces the sea, especially in the central and eastern regions, it is full of fertile land, beautiful mountains and rivers, smoking and fishing songs, just like a huge "Xanadu", beautiful, quiet and harmonious. Harmony has gradually formed the basic style of China culture. Harmonious cultural style makes China people pay attention to harmony, unity, kindness, harmony and friendship when dealing with the relationship between man and nature and between people.

China's philosophical thoughts are also permeated with the ideas of "the unity of heaven and man", "the unity of knowledge and action" and "the unity of scene". Harmonious cultural style affects the social psychology and thinking mode of China people. In ancient China, most philosophers took it as their responsibility to establish a unified and harmonious ideal society. The rulers want "peace and prosperity" and the oppressed want "a peaceful world". Too much emphasis on harmony and unity and opposition to "overstepping others" and "underachievers" is one of the reasons why China's backward and relatively stable feudal society can continue for a long time. Harmonious cultural style has also caused some inherent defects in China people's way of thinking. Because of their habit and satisfaction, they grasp the essence of things intuitively and generally, ignoring the in-depth anatomy of things themselves.
