"Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Wen, wrong painting, like writing." Its extension includes all kinds of symbols, including language, cultural relics laws and regulations, etiquette system and so on. The original meaning of "transformation" is change, generation and creation. The so-called "all things are transformed" is extended to transformation, enlightenment and cultivation. China's ancient concepts of "culture" basically belong to the category of spiritual civilization and often correspond to "force", "martial arts" and "barbarism". They contain positive idealism, embody the "yin" and "softness" in the general plan of governing the country, and have both political connotation and ethical significance. Secondly, this word was largely used as a verb in ancient times, and it was a method and proposition to govern society. It opposes military conquest, but it is related to it and complements each other. The so-called "courtesy before soldiers" is a kind of martial arts. Some also include snacks, customs and other traditional cultures.
