Why should we inherit and carry forward traditional culture?

Inheriting excellent traditional culture is an urgent need to meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people. To promote the construction of "Cultural China", we should pay more attention to our excellent traditional culture. Traditional culture can enrich people's spiritual world, improve their comprehensive quality, promote social stability and form a good social atmosphere. At the same time, the traditional culture of contemporary society is integrated with politics and economy, which is closely related to the development of science and technology and has a great impetus to economic and social development. It can be said that China's long-standing traditional culture is the bond of national unity. Under the current historical conditions, it is an important content of "Cultural China" to carry forward and inherit China's excellent traditional culture. An important symbol of a nation's prosperity is whether the national culture is profound or not, and excellent traditional culture is the blood and soul of a nation. There is a phenomenon of separation between contemporary China cultures, and the way of inheritance and promotion is relatively simple. At present, with the harmonious development of global economy and culture, the influence of foreign culture has penetrated into all aspects of people's lives, which has had a strong impact on China's traditional culture. Especially in some youth groups, there is a phenomenon of blindly pursuing western culture and despising national culture. This is manifested in the following aspects: First, the disappearance of national culture is accelerating. The advancement of modernization has brought some pressure to the inheritance of China's excellent traditional culture. According to the survey, during 1999, there were nearly 380 kinds of national operas in China. By 20 13, only 286 kinds were left. Second, the cognition of excellent traditional culture is biased. At present, some people hold a negative attitude towards China's traditional culture, especially since the "New Culture Movement", and attribute the backwardness of modern China to traditional culture. This makes the people's sense of cultural awe gradually lose, and also leads to the collective decline of the cultural literacy of the whole society and the weakening of the consciousness of cherishing traditional culture. Third, traditional culture is not organically combined with contemporary culture. For a long time, we have not clearly defined the scope of traditional culture, the connotation of traditional culture is not clear enough, and what is "excellent" traditional culture and what is "dross" culture is not clearly defined. At the same time, the interpretation of the practical significance of traditional culture is not enough, which makes the traditional culture and contemporary culture split.
