Why is it that a country that has discarded its traditional culture has cut off its traditional culture?

The broad spirit of the excellent traditional Chinese culture includes the way of honesty and shame that purifies people's souls, the way of propriety and righteousness that regulates people's speech and behavior, and the way of honesty and integrity that enhances people's character. When people are not willing to do bad things, the society will be clean. We emphasize the importance of the construction of laws and institutions, but they cannot replace the purifying effect of culture on the mind. It is in this sense that the excellent traditional Chinese culture is as important as laws and institutions in governing the country today. Therefore, the promotion of Chinese excellent traditional culture is our inevitable choice to govern the country today.
