Why did China worship the ancients so much?

first of all, from the psychological point of view, it is a common psychology to value the past and despise the present. For example, we are used to the consistent statement of cronies, which is the same as or beyond the achievements of the ancients. This is also the reason why authority is hard to be overthrown, and it is difficult for great men to gain the affirmation of others when they are alive.

Secondly, from a historical point of view, since the May 4th Movement, China's traditional culture has been attacked and blindly denied. Ceng Gong and others, for example, have fallen into disrepute by now. Nowadays, people gradually realize that people nowadays lack faith and moral bottom line, and Confucianism is advocated.

thirdly, from the traditional culture, China people are deeply influenced by ancient traditional folk customs.

Fourth, pretending to respect the past and pretending to be literary is also the most disgusting. It is considered that ancient style is a popular trend. Through novels, fairy sword games, and costume TV dramas, a large number of audiences are brought, which are mixed. As for some of them, it is not clear whether they really love Chinese studies.
