What is the significance of thousands of years of ancient culture in China?

1, traditional culture is the cornerstone of enhancing national self-confidence.

China's excellent traditional culture is profound and has a long history. It is not only the tradition of Chinese nation, but also the dignity of Chinese nation. It is a concrete symbol of the Chinese nation at the spiritual level and an "image" that stands tall in the world. Especially in the history of China, some truly immortal works have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are never tired of reading them, and their fire of wisdom will never go out, shining on the past, present and future of mankind. Therefore, it is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of contemporary people to cherish the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, safeguard its cultural dignity, rescue and protect its culture, and inherit and develop its excellent traditional culture. The younger generation, in particular, should first establish the concept of respecting traditional culture, not only consciously learn traditional cultural knowledge from books, but also learn about China's traditional folk customs, not only the national reality, but also learn more about national history, spiritual essence and national interests. In the final analysis, only by inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture can we fundamentally promote the development of the Chinese nation. Only by constantly strengthening the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and making full and effective use of its resources can the Chinese nation make a greater voice in the global village and stand forever among the nations of the world.

2. Traditional culture is the basis of building a good national psychology.

China's excellent traditional culture is mostly related to dynasty politics or social ideals. An old book, an ancient literary classic, is littered with historical dust and falls off in modern society. In particular, Yi Zhongtian, Yu Dan and other contemporary people, taking ancient sages as materials, closely combined China's history and culture with the real society and its life in a simple way, let the people enter their hearts and stomachs, inspired the vivid practical problems they encountered in public life, and verified them with the experience summary of dealing with people in real life. It can also soothe the hearts of the wounded, improve people's ideological and moral taste, broaden people's horizons and minds, and play a role in constructing national psychology in the diagnosis, translation and dissemination of China's traditional culture.

3. Traditional culture is the spiritual resource to enhance the comprehensive strength of the country.

According to joseph nye, a professor at Harvard University in the United States, a country's comprehensive national strength includes not only "hard power" in economy, science and technology, military affairs, but also "soft power" in culture and ideological attraction. Cultural soft power is the core element of national soft power. As the spiritual motive force, intellectual support and ideological guarantee for the development of modern society, it has increasingly become an important source of national cohesion and creativity and an important factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength. The revival of a nation must be supported by the revival of culture. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is bound to be accompanied by the prosperity of Chinese culture. The fundamental way to prosper China culture is to enhance China's soft power. China traditional culture is the foundation and "blood" of China culture. On the basis of carrying forward the excellent national culture and absorbing and digesting the outstanding cultural achievements of the world, it has been passed down from generation to generation to form Chinese culture that conforms to the characteristics of the times and has become the primary resource and important foundation of China's cultural soft power. It has become an indispensable spiritual resource to fully explore the advantages of China's traditional culture, fully understand the traditional culture of the motherland, take its essence and discard its dross, make it adapt to the characteristics of the times, adapt to modern civilization, connect with people's life and national behavior, and realize the modernization and transformation of traditional culture.

4. Traditional culture is the basic condition for building a modern civilized society.

Throughout the Confucian culture represented by Confucius and Mencius in ancient China, from political thoughts to ethical thoughts and even philosophy of life, a set of norms that people must abide by in all fields of social life has influenced the way of life and behavior of the Chinese nation from generation to generation, and has had a great impact on the pursuit of personality of the Chinese nation. In particular, the Confucian theory of self-cultivation has a very prominent position in China's ideological, cultural and educational history, which is an important condition for creating a reputation as a country of Chinese etiquette and an ancient civilization. A series of ideas and spiritual propositions in Confucian culture, such as "learning to be an excellent official", "constantly striving for self-improvement", "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world", have had a far-reaching impact in the history of China, inspiring progressive politicians, thinkers and scientists in past dynasties to forge ahead courageously. It is this spirit of self-improvement that has created the enterprising spirit of the people of China and promoted the continuous development of society. Moreover, in today's development of socialist market economy, the practical significance of building a modern social civilization cannot be ignored, and it is even more necessary to fully explore the treasures of China's traditional culture, enrich modern moral education theories, carry forward excellent traditions, and constantly bring forth the old and bring forth the new to realize the sustainable prosperity of the Chinese nation. In the increasingly prosperous contemporary China, traditional culture is undoubtedly the basic condition for supporting peaceful development and civilized development.
