What is the most national cultural symbol in China?

"Dragon Culture" is the symbolic culture of the Chinese nation. The culture of the Chinese nation is extremely rich, which can be summarized by a noun and guided by a banner. Just as an enterprise can use a brand logo to express the values, culture and ideas of the whole enterprise, the whole nation and country can also use a logo brand to express the values, culture and ideas of the whole nation and country. A "brand logo" can fully express these aspects before it can be considered as a qualified "brand logo".

"Dragon Culture" is a manifestation of China traditional culture. First of all, "dragon culture" is a national spirit. "Dragon", dragon culture and dragon spirit have always been a powerful bond that unites the Chinese nation. "Black eyes, black hair and yellow skin will always be descendants of the dragon ..." A song "Descendants of the Dragon" aroused strong emotions of many people in China. No matter in the humiliating era of national disaster or the new China after national independence, China people at home and abroad have never forgotten that they are "descendants of the dragon" and are always proud of China people. Moreover, it is under the guidance of such national dignity and will that the people of China can unite as one and resist with all their strength at the critical moment of national life and death, and finally drive the invaders out of the country and restore their independence; Only in this way can we overcome difficulties, promote reform and achieve all-round economic and social prosperity. Dragons have long gone beyond the cultural category; For China people, it represents the blood of race, nationality and clan. The image and influence of the dragon has penetrated into the blood of everyone in China, and it is the soul of the Chinese nation.

Secondly, "dragon culture" itself represents the unique cultural connotation and value orientation of the Chinese nation. Compared with any other country in the world, China culture has its incomparable uniqueness. This kind of culture is unique to the East, which is very different from the Western culture.

To understand the "dragon culture" characteristics of the Chinese nation, we must first understand the thinking characteristics of China people. Among the thinking characteristics of China people, there is a group thinking mode based on blood relationship. This makes people in China pay more attention to their home, country, family and human feelings than people in any other country, and love their home more. People in China like to deal with interpersonal relationship by transforming it into blood relationship and family relationship. For example, the relationship between mother and brother can be transformed into a very close relationship, thus increasing mutual cohesion and becoming a family relationship with one pot of rice. For example, the school where we study together is called "alma mater", the river where we drink together is called "mother river", the equal friendship between us is called "brothers", "buddies" and "sisters", and the relationship between units is called "brother unit", which means that we have a mother who lives under the same roof, and the close relationship between them is self-evident. Because of this, China people especially like the concept of "home", and everything likes to be associated with this concept. For example, "country" is associated with "home" and is called "country"; "Gong" and "home" are called "Gong"; "People" and "home" are called "people" ... and in order to have a Spring Festival and have a family reunion dinner, even if Qianshan is in trouble, we have to rush home. It is China people who attach great importance to family ties that make it easier for us to unite as a national force in times of national crisis, and shed our blood and blood. Just like this, China people's blood is thicker than water, and "if one side is in trouble, all sides will help", not to mention the rescue of domestic victims, but also the rescue of other "brother countries" in the world.
