Reflective choice of national culture

According to the general understanding, what we mean by national culture refers to the traditional culture with obvious characteristics formed by the Chinese nation in the past history. Deep reflection on national culture has been a very important academic and social trend of thought since modern times, especially since the 1980s. We can see that in the process of a series of cultural reflection, although there are many affirmations of the essence of national traditional culture, more is the rational liquidation of negative factors in national traditional culture, so as to clarify the obstacles of traditional culture to China's historical progress. From today's point of view, neither the affirmation of its essence nor the liquidation of its negative factors is for simple inheritance or division, but for effectively continuing and creating new national culture after abandoning the traditional culture that has been continuously cut in fact.

However, when the so-called global culture is rolling in with overwhelming momentum, threatening the continuation and survival of national culture, and there are many worrying problems in the revival and reconstruction of national spirit, it urges us to reflect on national culture and make rational choices.

The so-called rational choice means that we not only realize the important significance of national culture in cultivating our next generation's national spirit, but also strengthen a basic position, that is, to carry forward the essence of national culture, continue the lifeline of national culture and create a new national culture that keeps pace with the times. Moreover, we should strengthen the study of national culture, expand the educational opportunities of national culture for the next generation, and convey our national culture to our educated people through publicity and school education.

In this communication process, whether it is social propaganda or school education, it is very important not to let the educated passively accept the traditional national culture, but to let the educated improve their self-awareness and self-reliance ability in the process of studying and studying the national culture, so that the educated can form a sense of identity with the national culture and an appreciation ability of the national culture. From the content of the national culture to the development history of the national culture, from the manifestation of the national culture to the aesthetic evolution of the cultural form, an endless dynamic understanding can be formed. In this way, we can better educate the national spirit through the education of national culture, carry forward the past and create more valuable national spirit.
