On the Position and Function of Religion in China Traditional Culture

We also find that with the rapid development of economy, social ideological and moral construction has not kept up, but there is a huge contrast between economic growth and the lack of social subject belief, the loss of humanistic spirit, the confusion of social moral judgment standards and the decline of moral standards. The value orientation of money supremacy pervades every corner of society. In the whole social ideology and culture, there are too many secular, utilitarian and vulgar impetuous factors, but too few sacred, non-utilitarian and positive factors containing the ultimate direction. The construction of a harmonious society has encountered a difficult problem of the times.

To solve this problem, it is far from enough to rely solely on the law. Appeal to morality may be a way out, but "external" ideology and morality can not completely solve the endless problems in society, nor can it adapt to the diversified development trend of social thoughts. It is a direction that can be explored to make up for this deficiency with "internal" belief morality. With the awe born of faith, people's unlimited selfish desires can be restrained and the social value orientation of Golden Thread can be corrected. At the same time, religious culture itself has the power of public opinion to promote social stability and harmonious development. It is undoubtedly of great practical significance to enrich religious culture in the construction of "harmonious culture" in order to enhance the inclusiveness and permeability of modern culture in China, thus enhancing the "soft power" of the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a harmonious society.
