Why is it that the feudal culture in China since 4,000 years is deeply rooted and hard to shake?

In fact, the reason why feudal culture can last for thousands of years is very simple, because these cultures have been accepted by the people of China, and even deeply imprinted in the bones of the nation. These cultures are quintessential, civilized, unique and correct, and there are also many dross that need to be abandoned by modern society. As for why this happens, we can probably discuss it from the following aspects.

First, the needs of feudal dynasty rule

The supremacy of monarchical power in the ancient feudal dynasty of China required not only military, economic and institutional management of the country, but also cultural and ideological management and even control of the people to ensure the stability of the rule. For example, monarchs, ministers, sons, three cardinal guides and five permanent members, and women's three obedience and four virtues promoted in past dynasties are all slave education for the general public. Over time, these cultural concepts are gradually taken for granted by people, and even thought it should be.

Second, the far-reaching influence of Confucianism.

With the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism and literary attainments have penetrated into the feudal dynasty of China. With constant interpretation and deduction, it gradually adapted to the needs of the feudal ruling class to maintain its rule. Although in the historical process, there have been many movements that criticized and opposed Confucius and resisted the lashing of Confucianism, they were eventually suppressed and continued the orthodox position of Confucianism.

Third, it is impossible to communicate with foreign cultures.

After thousands of years' development, China's feudal society almost kept a closed door, thinking that it was the kingdom of China, and other countries and nations were uncivilized, not to mention accepting and integrating other cultural ideas. Coupled with the long-term erosion of feudal thoughts, feudal social and cultural thoughts and national progress were imprisoned in chains. Even in modern times, China's civilization was overtaken by western civilization, and the country was invaded by foreign powers, which was also a serious consequence of feudal thought.

Of course, with the development of the times, Chinese culture is still continuing and developing. We should not only admit its dross, criticize and discard it, but also fully absorb the essence of China traditional culture to promote the continuous progress of the Chinese nation.
