What impressed you most about our traditional culture?

Poetry is the most impressive. Since the new cultural movement, our vernacular Chinese has rapidly replaced the position of classical Chinese in our society. In our modern society, people usually use vernacular Chinese when talking and communicating. Therefore, in our modern society, there are few words used for communication, whether it is Tang poetry and Song poetry or Yuanqu. People usually use vernacular when communicating, for example, have you eaten? I haven't eaten. Can't I say no? No, it is precisely because modern people's communication is becoming more and more popular that poetry appears less and less. Poetry has been circulating in China for a long time, which is meaningful and memorable. Moreover, poetry is a unique traditional culture in China with a long history. Even after thousands of years, I believe that poetry has a far-reaching impact on us.

If we don't study the meaning of poetry now, we often don't know what the author wants to express at a deeper level, so we won't abuse it or use it. Without systematic study, our understanding of ancient Chinese is relatively simple. We can only know what some words mean. But we can't deeply understand what this sentence is saying. For example, there are some poems that we think describe each other's knowledge, but in fact this poem means to satirize each other. We don't know what the author means, and it is easy to be misunderstood by others if it is abused, so we won't use poetry casually.

Because in our modern society, many people's poems are not as good as ancient poems. Ancient poetry is meaningful and memorable, but today's poetry can only be written, not beyond the Tang and Song Dynasties. Of course, there are many people who write poems now, but compared with the poems of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are still not as good as them, so few people write poems. Of course, there are still many famous writers in Chinese poetry circles, and their poems are also beautiful and amazing. Such people are rare. Poetry has a long-standing influence on China culture, so you can read more books on poetry at ordinary times.

Besides poetry, we can think of Hanfu and so on. These are the traditional cultures of China, but we have to say that poetry is something we have learned since childhood. There is a good saying that "a poetic stomach is proud of itself". Poetry can really improve our own elegance.
