Why should we take the essence of traditional culture, discard its dross and bring forth the new?

Attitude towards traditional culture: first of all, we must make clear what is the true essence of culture, what is the essence and what is the dross.

The so-called traditional culture is actually the crystallization of the national spirit that a nation relies on for development and inheritance, and it is a national culture that reflects the national characteristics and features from the evolution of civilization.

It is the overall representation of various ideological cultures and ideologies in national history, which is reflected in our life, political and ideological fields, customs, values and other aspects.

In the history of our national development, many things that are truly worthy of inheritance have been abandoned for various reasons, while some things that are not conducive to carrying forward the national spirit have been stubbornly preserved. This is not a question of survival of the fittest, but because those things cater to the low tastes of most people.

The "takenism" put forward by Mr. Lu Xun is to take it first and then abandon it! For a long time, people's attitude towards traditional culture is to reject it if it is not seen. If you don't understand the old, you can't make a new one; It is even more impossible to innovate without understanding the reasons.
