Is it necessary to resist foreign culture to promote China's traditional culture?

There is no antagonistic relationship between promoting China's traditional culture and learning from other countries' cultures. You know, there is an idiom called seeking common ground while reserving differences, which means to find out the similarities and keep the differences. Seeking common ground makes us closer and friendlier, while reserving differences makes us more tolerant and respectful. Take this as an example, it is to find the similarities between other countries' cultures and ours, and at the same time to respect and understand the differences between them.

When we carry forward the traditional culture of our own country, we should treat the culture of other countries with the attitude of "taking its essence and discarding its dross". While carrying forward the traditional culture of our country, we should also promote the development of culture. It is impossible to "close the door" like the Qing Dynasty. We should learn from the excellent cultures of other countries and use them for us.

For example, the domestic animated film Nezha, which is very popular recently, not only retains the cultural characteristics of China, but also learns the advanced animation technology of other countries. It is precisely because of this that this film has achieved its present success.

It is certainly unrealistic to build a car behind closed doors. Think about the years when the Qing dynasty closed its doors to the outside world. Without our knowledge, there has been an industrial revolution in the west, and great progress has been made in scientific and technological inventions and culture. And our country still clung to the previous inventions, thinking that it was still the "China" that paid tribute in all directions, and finally saw the reality under the guns of the West.

Therefore, "opening your eyes to see the world" is the correct way. While carrying forward the traditional culture of China, we should also learn from the excellent cultures of other countries.
