How to treat China's traditional culture and foreign culture from a dialectical negative point of view?

First of all, we should sort out the dialectical negative views and list Marx's original views, which mainly refer to:

1) negation is the self-denial of things, through which self-movement and self-development can be realized (dialectical negation is the internal negation of things, not dialectical negation, that is, metaphysical negation is external negation).

2) Negation is the link between things and development-the function of negation.

3) Negation is sublation-the essence of negation.

The second step, contact this reality: how to treat traditional culture and foreign culture, as Lu Xun said, takenism:

We should be wary of two tendencies in treating China's traditional culture: first, national nihilism; Second, revivalism; Second, we should prevent two tendencies in dealing with foreign cultures: one is to close the door to the outside world, and the other is to westernize completely.

National nihilism: The realistic development of China can be divorced from history and deny the value of traditional culture.

Retroism: one-sided respect for traditional culture, viewing, measuring and evaluating reality with traditional values, and denying the essential difference between traditional society and modern society.

Total Westernization: On the one hand, modernization is Westernization, on the other hand, modernization is contrary to China's inherent culture, so the process of modernization is regarded as the process of transplanting western painting culture to our nation.

Closed door: the absolute rejection of foreign cultures, especially the fear of western cultures that embody modern civilization, is actually not thinking about change and clinging to shortcomings.

The above views are all metaphysical negative views.

Dialectical negation is the negation of negation and a scientific view of negation. To treat traditional culture by dialectical negation, we should get rid of its dross, take its essence, criticize its wrong things, inherit its positive things and transform them. When dealing with foreign cultures, we should learn differently and selectively, and strive to embark on a modernization road that can not only reflect the level of modern world civilization but also have our own national characteristics.
