What are the characteristics of China's traditional culture and how are they influenced by modernization?

Traditional culture and modernization are two links formed in the process of historical development, which are interrelated and contradictory. Traditional culture is the accumulation of cultural creation activities yesterday, and it is a cultural achievement that can influence future generations. Modernization is the goal of the current historical process, and there are both differences and inevitable connections between them. It is biased to adopt a nationalist attitude or a nihilistic attitude towards traditional culture.

Traditional culture is a civilized achievement created and accumulated by a nation in historical practice. Or on material carriers, such as architecture, sculpture, production tools, daily necessities and so on. Or expressed in words; Or manifested as abstract personality, ability, national mentality, way of thinking, lifestyle and value standards; Or it is manifested in the accumulation and storage of various knowledge and information. In short, traditional culture is a cultural accumulation accumulated and passed down in the historical process, and it is constantly developing and changing in the process of circulation. People's creative activities today will accumulate in the long history of tomorrow, and at the same time influence the future civilization with their own historical existence. Just as the remains of stone tools gave birth to bronze culture, bronze culture gave birth to iron culture, and this gradual inheritance of mutual cause and effect is independent of people.
