China's traditional culture is extensive and profound, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation. It has incomparable advantages, that is, "attaching importance to morality" and "elephant is invisible", but it also has various shortcomings, the most important of which is the closeness, conservatism and backwardness brought by irrationality as a way of value thinking, and the non-subjectivity in the development of Confucian ethics. As long as any nation has a history of development, it has its own traditional culture, which is a relatively stable culture that a nation has continued in the process of historical development. The longer a nation's culture is, the stronger its traditional culture is. As a historical culture, traditional culture is a concrete cultural form. China traditional culture is a relatively stable cultural form formed and developed by the Chinese nation in ancient China society, and it is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom. Its forms are various, but its core system is thought, that is, the ideological system that absorbs various ideological trends and foreign thoughts and cultures and embodies the subject consciousness of the Chinese nation. Generally speaking, the greatest advantage of China traditional culture lies in its unique and superior national spirit and cultural temperament since ancient times. The concentrated expression of this spiritual temperament, in the words of the ancients, lies in its mind and spirit of "being virtuous and carrying things" and "being invisible as an image". The sentence "A virtuous person can carry things" comes from Zhouyi? "Yi Zhuan": "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality." This sentence is preceded by "Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement". The Book of Changes advocates that China's gentleman should learn the trend of heaven and earth and master the theory of Yin and Yang. The sky belongs to Yang, which means vigorous, promising and enterprising, so a gentleman should learn Tian Xingjian and strive for self-improvement; The soil belongs to yin, which means honesty, tolerance and smoothness. Therefore, a gentleman should follow the example of "Terrain Kun", have the same mind as the earth, and carry things with "kindness", so that he can tolerate and load a variety of things, lives and things and make them grow harmoniously. Obviously, in social life, with a broad momentum, creating an environment and conditions of "respecting morality and carrying things" is the premise of creating vitality and myriad weather. The phrase "Elephant is invisible" comes from Chapter 41 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: "Generosity has no horns, greatness is a late bloomer, and the elephant is invisible when it is loud", which means that "grand founders (images) generally can't see the edges and corners, grand materials (things) generally mature late, and grand melodies often sound thin, but grand momentum scenes don't seem to exist." "Elephant invisibility" can be understood as: the greatest magnificent style and realm in the world is often not confined to certain things and patterns, but presents a "colorful" face and scene. "Great Virtue Loves Things" and "Elephant Invisible" tell the same truth and intention from different angles. Everything is carried by virtue, which is compatible with the world, so there seems to be no "shape" on the whole; Because it is solid and amorphous, it can accommodate many shapes, absorb foreign things from time to time and grow and enrich itself. Therefore, it can look like an "elephant" above the "invisible". It is very appropriate to describe the characteristics of China culture with "elephant invisibility" and summarize its great spiritual temperament of being broad, eclectic, all-encompassing and full of vitality. It can be said that "respecting morality" and "elephant invisibility" are the unique sights and features of a big country with a vast territory, a large population and a long history, and they are the cultural features and overall features that a great nation who is interested in shouldering the heavy responsibility of human history needs, deserves and can maintain.
