What changes have taken place in China's traditional culture under the influence of western culture?

1. The traditional culture of China advocates and pursues balance, which is characterized by stability, peace and harmony. It is a specific concept formed by the Chinese nation in the long-term agricultural production. Agricultural production is restricted by seasonal changes and crop growth laws, and it needs a stable social order. Agricultural production is threatened by natural disasters at any time, which requires people to unite and cooperate to build stable and harmonious interpersonal relationships; Natural climatic conditions and various meteorological factors needed for crop growth, such as light and temperature, waterproof, etc., need to be suitable, that is, "nothing is too bad." China's traditional martial arts, Tai Chi Kung Fu, combines rigidity with softness. The ancients believed that heaven and earth, yin and yang, and day and night were relative, and they should be kept in balance. The harmony between people and the balanced development between people and nature. Confucius put forward the idea of "the doctrine of the mean" for "the way of being human": "A gentleman is the doctrine of the mean, and a villain is against a small temple". Neo-Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty explained the "golden mean" as follows: "those who are in the middle are impartial, and those who are in the middle are less than yuan". In other words, in order to make both ends meet, people need to develop and advance in the direction of justice. This understanding of treating others with integrity has also become the knowledge of the Chinese nation, and it has also cultivated the excellent moral character of the Chinese nation in adhering to principles and distinguishing right from wrong. China's traditional diet has the characteristics of "balance", which is mostly empirical. In ancient times, people divided various foods into four "attributes": warm, hot, cool and cold, and divided them into five flavors according to their tastes: pungent, sour, sweet, bitter and salty. The "balance" of China's traditional diet is to match different foods according to their attributes and five flavors, so as to achieve the "balance" of "four flavors" and "five flavors". In contrast, due to the fast pace of life and work in the west, convenient and clean eating methods and what nutrition is lacking and what nutrition is supplemented have become the main theme, which also shows the difference in dietary realism. 2. Characteristics of western traditional culture: Realism is influenced by animal husbandry production, and many unique concepts have been formed by western nations, among which realism is the most prominent and important, that is, paying attention to reality.
