Does China's emphasis on "reason" deviate from the traditional culture of China?

"Learn math, physics and chemistry, and you are not afraid to travel all over the world. Based on this popular saying, more and more students choose science and avoid liberal arts when dividing subjects. So, does this more scientific phenomenon deviate from the traditional culture of China?

The two river valley civilizations, Indian civilization, Egyptian civilization and Chinese civilization are four famous ancient civilizations in human history. Among them, Chinese civilization has a long history, which has nourished generations of China people for 5,000 years.

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion that China generally attached more importance to "liberal arts" in ancient times. As can be seen from the simplest Chinese textbooks, so far, the poems and songs of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties have been carefully collected. From "looking up, I found that it was moonlight, and then sinking, I suddenly remembered home" to "once I climbed to the top of the mountain and peeked, I would see that other mountains looked short under the sky." , all contain the author's unique thoughts and feelings.

But there is no doubt that China's traditional culture contains not only poetry, but also many aspects, such as ancient literature, philosophy, aesthetics, art and many other knowledge and ideas. Further down, traditional culture not only affects people's way of life and behavior, but also affects people's way of thinking and direction of thinking.

Although ancient times emphasized "Wen", it does not mean that no one followed "Li". Rational way of thinking also played a great role in ancient times. For example, during the farming period, many farm tools were invented and put into use. Behind all kinds of gorgeous buildings are carefully conceived three-dimensional structures.

Therefore, even science students can practice calligraphy, play guqin and recite ancient poems in their life outside of study, and this way of cultivating sentiment and relieving stress can also help science students open up blocked ideas.
