What impact did the scriptural tradition have on the development of Chinese culture?

Culture has never been closely linked to the economy of a society; it is determined by the economy and has a tremendous counter effect on the economy.

Culture is a broad social consciousness, and as a consciousness it is by no means passive; in fact, it is always in a process of interaction with the economy. As an environmental element of economic development, culture is ever-present and ubiquitous, either driving or hindering economic development.

The economic development of a region is very much related to the cultural characteristics of the region. When the cultural connotation of the region is harmonized with the external economic environment, it will become a powerful element that promotes and drives the rapid economic development of the region, otherwise the culture will become an obstacle to the economic growth of the region. So how has 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture affected China's economy.

China's market economy is based on traditional Chinese culture. In the process of transforming China's economic system from a planned economy to a market economy, traditional values have been severely impacted. Nonetheless, as we look deeper, China's reform and development still show the promotion and development of traditional Chinese values.

This is both the reason for the success of the "China model" and its content. China's Confucian cultural tradition emphasizes the collective concept, the value of righteousness rather than profit, and has not disappeared under the impact of the market economy, the market economy has brought the cultural concept of "profit first" at the same time, the value of the tendency to profit and avoid righteousness has not been accepted by all the public and respected.
