Do we stick to tradition or embrace the present? Sticking to tradition refers to traditional virtues, and embracing the present refers to modern consciousness.

Persistence or embrace, I think this is not an either-or question, but both. Everyone, whether successful or not, must have a complete personality, which involves traditional virtues. From ancient times to the present, our education is to be a good person and a kind person. Although what good people sometimes do may not be satisfactory, that is to say, they often say that they have done bad things with good intentions, but it is not within the scope of great harm, and we are still willing to accept it. If a person has good moral quality and advanced modern consciousness in modern society, what he does may not be recognized by everyone. If he succeeds, he will become a model of modern society. On the contrary, he will do nothing. So how to make the two perfectly integrated is very important. It needs a person's nature, knowledge, understanding and many other factors to decide together, rather than a single one. Human society is progressing, which requires us to look at problems with a developmental perspective and solve them with modern means. Now, we must keep the essence of traditional virtues, integrate modern consciousness into it and live in the present.
