Interpretation of China Traditional Culture

China's traditional culture is the fundamental creativity of the achievements of Chinese civilization, and it is the sum total of moral inheritance, various cultural ideas and spiritual concepts in national history. China traditional culture is a harmonious and inclusive system based on Laozi's moral culture, Confucianism, Zhuangzi thought, Mozi thought and Taoist culture. China's traditional culture, also known as Chinese culture [1] and Chinese civilization [2], is the forerunner of China's excellent culture for 5,000 years. However, it has a long history and is widely distributed. Culture is a description of the natural laws of the universe, and culture is an extension of morality. Culture is nature, culture is life and life is culture; Culture is soft power and the internal driving force that determines everything; Culture is the social ideology, the ideological spirit of the Chinese nation and the foundation of social politics and economy.

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. tradition

Culture is closely related to our life, and we enjoy it unconsciously when it is integrated into our life.

China's traditional culture should include: ancient prose, ancient poetry, ci, music, fu, national music, national drama, folk art, Chinese painting, calligraphy, couplets, riddles, shots, wine orders, two-part allegorical sayings and so on. Traditional festivals (all according to the lunar calendar) include: Spring Festival on the first day of the first month (Lunar New Year), Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, Cold Food Festival around Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 5th, Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th, Tanabata on July 7th, Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, New Year's Eve of the twelfth lunar month and various folk activities. China's ancient natural sciences, including traditional calendars, and the traditional cultures of various regions and ethnic minorities living in China are also part of China's traditional culture.

Before the Shennong era, the political form of the Chinese nation was tribal politics, and the leader of the tribe was a witch. This statement is quite different from traditional cognition. Historically, people's cognition of "witches" was superstitious, and "witches" pretended to be ignorant. In fact, in the primitive times of our ancestors, witches were scientists, and they represented the authority of knowledge.

In primitive times, before the knowledge of our ancestors was opened, we saw various phenomena in nature, such as mountains and rivers on the ground, storms and lightning caused by climate change and so on. Because I don't understand, I feel suspicious and horrible. In order to get the answers to these questions, we must go to the wizard and teach him. By observing, thinking and analyzing this phenomenon, Wu came to the conclusion that there is a god of wind, a god of rain, a god of thunder, a god of electricity, and a god in charge of all other suns, moons, stars and mountains. Deism is too unscientific and superstitious for modern people. But who can guarantee that the contemporary scientists' explanation of the phenomenon of the universe will not be overturned after 1000 years, and will not be accused of superstition and anti-science?

In addition, there are two things that human beings can't handle themselves and must turn to others for help. First of all, it is physiological. No one is not sick. If a person is ill, he must ask a doctor for treatment. The second is psychology. When people want to do something, they always worry in advance, and they hesitate. At this time, they must ask others for advice for reference. People in 2 1 century certainly know that they have to go to the hospital for treatment when they are sick. If you are in doubt, you should consult your close friends or experts. In primitive times, these two things happened at the same time, and turning to the same person was a "witch." It can be proved by the ancient word "medicine" and "bu"

(1) Let me talk about the treatment of witches first. In primitive times, the diseases suffered by our ancestors were very simple. Most of them are "diarrhea" caused by improper diet and "cold and fever" caused by unsuitable climate. When a wizard is sick and someone asks him for help, the wizard first asks God for help in the form of prayer. But the disease is real, and diarrhea patients can't stop by praying. The clever witch changed her diet and picked some plants for the patient. Of course, it is very dangerous to do clinical work directly without doing experiments on mice, rabbits and monkeys. Therefore, as a result of eating, some patients are cured, some are ineffective, and some are worse. The witch also recorded what weeds cure what diseases, and drew the shape of plants. When I arrived in Shennong, I compiled it into Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, so the legendary Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, which means that this matter will never be an experiment with himself.

(2) Questions: The questions asked by ancestors are mainly about meteorology. Mainly for hunting. Let's recall that the weather station has the latest scientific instruments, but it can't predict the weather changes. What skills can wizards have to predict? Then the witch found that the inference of the development of things was not as direct and obvious as drug treatment, and there would be a big gap. We must answer people's questions. Wise wizards no longer give clear answers to the questions raised by the people, but give each other a hint in a metaphorical way. And its metaphor often uses folk lyrics at will. Spread to Fuxi, the answers given to the people by witches in previous dynasties were sorted and summarized into 64 cases. This is the origin of the Book of Changes. "Yi" and "Yi" are twins, which are the two main axes of human culture. The version of the Book of Changes has been circulating: before there were symbols, people used knots to record it, and the eight diagrams of the Book of Changes were represented by a big knot and two summaries respectively. A string of ropes hanging on the wall is the origin of hexagrams. Sixty-four hexagrams are composed of eight trigrams, so each hexagram is connected by two trigrams, so it is called "Lian San". Because there is no "three" in the three hexagrams, there are only "mountains" and "roots are mountains." After the process from knot to symbolic writing, the connection of "three" is like the arrangement of "mountain" as a dry divinatory symbol and the connection of two mountain characters, so the word "Lian San" is changed to "Lian Shan". Due to the progress of civilization, human knowledge has gradually opened up, and the cognition of surrounding affairs has also changed, so it is easy to modify and organize (Lianshan). In the era of the Yellow Emperor, characters were invented, and the original hanging on the wall (Lianshan) was changed into a plane symbol. Looking for the arrangement of Yi should start with Kun Gan's two hexagrams. Moreover, the most important place in human life is the earth, so Kun and Gan are in front of the dry divination, and they are changed to (Tibet) in order to correct their names. Extended to the Yin Dynasty. Zhou Wenwang was persecuted by Zhou Wang and imprisoned. Zhou Wenwang was imprisoned in prison. In order to avoid Zhou Wang's suspicion of his rebellion, he was afraid to read political, military and economic books. Only by getting one (back to Tibet) can it be easy to read, which can show that you have no ambition. This is the origin of the story of Wen Wang Yiyan. The Book of Changes was renamed Zhouyi after being collated by Zhou Wenwang. Confucius is the most powerful person to carry forward Zhouyi. Confucius traveled around the world and rebelled against Lu. At the age of sixty-eight, he got the Book of Changes and found that all the questions in his heart could be satisfactorily answered in the Book of Changes. Confucius' reading of Zhouyi and Bian Wei Sanjue shows his diligence in using Kung Fu. He also wrote ten articles for Zhouyi, expounding the theory of Zhouyi. Finally, I sighed, "add me a few more years, and I will learn at 50, and I will know nothing!" " "It's too late, read easy. When you read Zhouyi at 50, you don't have to travel around the world and ask questions everywhere. When Confucius finished writing Zhouyi, it was finalized, and no one dared to change a word or phrase in the future. So (Lianshan), (Gui Zang) and Zhouyi are actually a book, and the titles are different due to different versions.
