Meng Man: The essence of culture goes deep into basic education?

Among the representatives of the Beijing delegation, Meng Man, an associate professor at Minzu University of China, can be said to be the "spokesman" of China's traditional culture. Meng Man said that the "cultural self-confidence" put forward in the report of the 19th National Congress is the work of casting the soul of China, and the essence of traditional culture should be infiltrated into basic education.

Meng Man said that people can learn a lot from China's excellent traditional culture, such as aesthetic taste and traditional wisdom, but the most important thing is morality. China culture is a culture with moral priority, Confucianism is the study of saints, "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness" is a personal morality, "kindness, filial piety, friendship and respect for brothers" is a family morality, and "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is a social morality.

Meng Man said, "These contents are of great reference value for personal cultivation, social harmony, and even for establishing new diplomatic relations, moving from a world power to a world power, and enhancing cultural self-confidence."

Meng Man believes that the past five years have been the most effective five years of cultural development. If China culture used to be "physical growth", these five years are really "spiritual growth". The proposal of "cultural self-confidence" is itself a question of "long spirit". This shows that social development is no longer simply measured by economic indicators, but by comprehensive strength.

When it comes to education, Meng Man said that just in July, the National Textbook Committee was established to compile textbooks on history, Chinese and the rule of law, so that the essence of traditional culture can penetrate into basic education. "China traditional culture should be more widely integrated into the education system. As educators, we should actively participate in the inheritance, combing and dissemination of excellent traditional culture and contribute to the great cause of the party. " ?
