Calligraphy is the core of China traditional culture, isn't it? Why? What is the core of China's traditional culture?

The fundamental creativity of the achievements of Chinese civilization is the sum total of moral inheritance, various cultural concepts and spiritual concepts in national history. China's traditional culture is a harmonious and inclusive system with Laozi's moral culture as the noumenon and Confucianism, Zhuangzi, Mozi's thought and Taoist culture as the main body.

China's traditional culture should first include thought, writing and language, followed by the six arts of ceremony, music, shooting, imperial art, calligraphy and mathematics, and then the folk customs derived from calligraphy, music, martial arts, Quyi, chess, festivals and rich life. Traditional culture is closely related and integrated with our lives, and we enjoy it unconsciously.

Personally, calligraphy is not the core.

Zeng Guofan's words are succinct, that is, the "three cardinal guides" are the core spirit of China's traditional culture, and all other concepts are subordinate to this "guide" (in the words of great men, "the rest are eyes"). Anything that goes beyond or violates this "program" is not allowed by the "natural law" and must be removed quickly. Although there are some "human feelings" factors in the Code, it mainly plays a "lubricant" role in maintaining the normal operation of society, especially the officialdom. As the "guiding ideology" for maintaining the "one family under the world" and the hierarchical system in feudal society, it can not contain the modern concept of freedom and equality, nor does it have the democratic thought and scientific spirit that contemporary China needs most. A feudal politics represented by "Qin Zheng" and a feudal ethics represented by Confucianism, like two "knives" with both hardness and softness, have harmed China for more than two thousand years, leaving the feudal society in China in a state of plane circulation and long-term stagnation. As Hegel pointed out: "The history of China has no history in essence; It's just a repeat of the fall of the monarch. Can't make any progress from it. " Therefore, on the whole, the "Three Cardinals", as the ideology of China's agricultural civilization, already belongs to the "museum political thought", and all the ideas and practices that want to bring it back to life in disguise (such as advocating "respecting Confucius" and "reading classics") are stupid and futile.
