How much influence does western culture have on our local culture?

Since the introduction of western culture into China in modern times, especially after the New Culture Movement vigorously promoted western culture, it has had a great influence on our thinking. These influences can be summarized into two aspects: positive improvement and negative influence.

1. Actively Advancing Modern Western culture was introduced into China. There are indeed many advanced cultures that have changed our traditional thinking. These ideological changes are very beneficial for us to get out of the feudal society in the past, such as marriage? Matchmaker's words, parents' lives? Change to free love; For example, change the bloated old cheongsam and gown into new cheongsam, suit and Chinese tunic suit. For example, the previous rejection of all kinds of new things, from accepting trains to bicycles.

These ideological changes can be said to have eliminated those feudal cultures and dross thoughts, and not only that, but also new ideas in politics and economy, with new thinking and creation. It is these conceptual changes that can promote the new development of modern culture. The essence of these western cultures is also worth learning at present, and we can learn from some new academic research, some ideas and so on.

Second, the negative impact In the negative impact of western culture, on the one hand, western culture may be introduced regardless of essence and dross, so the dross culture will be accepted by some people who can't tell right from wrong, which will have some negative effects on these individuals, but it is not conducive to the further development of culture.

In addition, the introduction of western culture may also lead to the decline of our traditional culture and local culture, because the culture we can accept is often limited, and the rise of one party may lead to the loneliness of the other. Many of our traditional skills and arts may be excluded and forgotten, which may be what we need to pay more attention to, and we cannot let these cultures lose their inheritance.
