What traditional cultures in China are harmful and hinder the development of society and individuals?

Chinese five thousand years, culture in the long river of history runs unceasingly, a long history, forming a tradition, which is a characteristic or unique wealth. Traditional culture is a product of historical development, and sometimes its emergence is determined by the specific social environment at that time, with a certain objectivity. But sometimes traditional culture is also a subjective thing, created and preserved by our ancestors under the guidance of their subjective consciousness. I think the culture of any country or region is not monolithic, but has complexity. It is also because of the multifaceted nature of culture that there are some dregs in our traditional culture, which are not conducive to the development of society and a person, and need to be eliminated or improved.

The traditional culture of "no talent is no virtue" is a very bad thing for women.

The traditional culture is a tumor that harms women. This sentence is from the ancient Zhang Dai's "public worship Mrs. Qi Wen", over the years, many people to teach women with this sentence, telling women do not have to read too many books, do not have to have more learning, in the matter of obedience to her husband is a virtue. This saying is similar to the teaching of women? This is the same as teaching women the three virtues of obedience and four virtues. This culture has limited women's status and gradually reduced their social influence, and because women have a low status in the family, they can only tolerate unfair treatment sometimes. Because women have a dominant role in educating their children, it is not uncommon for women to be untalented. The culture of "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue" has not only made countless women suffer. The culture has not only victimized countless women, but has also affected the development of society as a whole.

Excessive superstition is also a harmful part of traditional culture. God is a kind of faith, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they as a spiritual culture, can properly meet people's spiritual needs, but the extension of some religious rituals, witchcraft, physiognomy, etc. will sometimes become a sword to harm the people, there are some people overly revered gods, too superstitious, superstition in the first place, while ignoring the science, such practices will affect the social and personal development. development.

To give a simple example, in the countryside there are people who are sick, they do not go to the doctor instead of believing in superstition, with superstitious methods of treatment, and so the disease is more and more serious when it is too late to regret. In fact, in the age of science, superstitious traditional culture should still be improved.
