3. 13 Classic

Chinese civilization is also a modern civilization system with its own thirteen classics. However, in the process of pursuing modernization, we regard it as a spiritual shackle and deliberately try to abandon it. In the past hundred years, China's ideological circle may be motivated by the enthusiasm of pursuing modernization, or it may just be to demonstrate the rationality of realistic change. In short, it is constantly strengthening that tradition and modernization are opposite concepts, modernization represents the historical direction of progress, while tradition, on the other hand, represents conservatism and backwardness. Under the domination of this concept, the classic status of the Thirteen Classics has been attacked and plundered from all directions. From the "Down with Kongjiadian" to the "Cultural Revolution", the tragicomedy of attacking the classics was constantly staged, and various new authorities were produced in the attack. Of course, the powerful can gain great power, and the powerless can also gain small power, but the ideological and cultural value of the Thirteen Classics has been declining and dissolving. In this way, the classics really seem to be a pile of spiritual ashes-the historical account is suspicious, the ethical teaching is backward, and the political laws are even more absurd and even reactionary. As a document, it is valuable only if it is analyzed into several fragments for scholars to study and analyze.

We regard the Thirteen Classics as the basic symbol of China's cultural subject consciousness, which has become a powerful driving force for national cohesion and cultural identity. It can be a spiritual pillar to stimulate the national spirit; It can also be a guide to wisdom and inspire us to solve practical problems wisely.

4. Dragon

In China culture, dragons have an important position and influence. From the Neolithic Age more than 7,000 years ago, ancestors worshipped the primitive dragon totem, and today people still use idioms or allusions with the word "dragon" to describe the beautiful things in life.

For thousands of years, dragons have penetrated into all aspects of China society and become a kind of cultural cohesion and accumulation. Dragon has become a symbol of China, the Chinese nation and China culture. For every Chinese descendant, the image of the dragon is a symbol, a mood, and a feeling of flesh and blood! . The names "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Descendants of the Dragon" often make us excited, energetic and proud. Besides spreading and inheriting in China, Dragon Culture has also been brought to all parts of the world by overseas Chinese. In China residential areas or in China, dragons are still the most eye-catching decorations. Therefore, "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Dragon Country" have also been recognized by the world.

5. Confucian culture

In China, where traditional culture is dominant, China people's judgment on cultural quality is very clear. That is to say, China people, especially China literati, have never been vague about what culture is good and what culture is bad (let's call it "advanced" and "good"). For example, people in China have always thought that "Xia culture" is superior to "Yi culture" because it is superior to "Yi culture" which is morally incompetent and not overbearing, so "Xia culture" is "advanced" in value. This concept, as a standard for evaluating culture, has not wavered for more than two thousand years. That is to say, before 100 years ago, that is, before western culture entered China, the mainstream society in China always had a very clear and definite view on cultural judgment. Therefore, we can say that "exclusive respect for Confucianism" was the collective knowledge of intellectuals in China at that time. After hundreds of years of theoretical experiments, China people gradually realized that the academic theory contained in Confucian culture was superior (in today's words, "advanced") to other theories in governing the country and was the most advanced culture at that time. It can be seen from this historical fact that "exclusive respect for Confucianism" is not "cultural autocracy", but "cultural knowledge" acquired by China people through long-term historical suffering and twists and turns. After the Han Dynasty, until the western culture entered China, China culture only diverged in some stages, that is to say, it temporarily deviated from the correct track of China culture based on Kong Zhou's teachings, but it will soon find its proper position again and return to the correct track of China culture. For example, from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui Dynasty, China's culture was divided for more than 400 years because of the war, that is, the scholar-officials belittled Confucianism and advocated metaphysics, and the culture taught by Kong Zhou in China was divided from Taoism. However, metaphysics is not authentic in China culture after all, and it cannot solve many problems faced by national construction. Therefore, Wen Zi stepped forward, corrected this deviation with his great wisdom and vitality, and brought China culture back to the correct track of Confucian culture.
