In an era of rapid technological development, what is the significance of traditional culture and national education?

The essence of traditional culture and national culture, that is, their core, is the foundation of the Chinese nation; at all times, the core of Chinese culture cannot be abandoned, as the saying goes, "If the foundation is not firm, the ground will shake. Traditional culture and the national culture is not just a few books or a few poems, but countless representative figures who conveyed the spirit of the nation, such as Confucius, Laozi, Zhuangzi; Li Bai; Du Fu, Su Dongpo; Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yuan Chonghuan.

The strength and prosperity of a country is not a castle in the air, nor can it be accomplished by simply copying foreign experience or science and technology. The spirit of the nation, the soul of the nation, the backbone of the nation comes from the essence of traditional culture. No matter how rapidly science develops, the things of our ancestors cannot be lost. Confucianism emphasizes learning and social practice; Laozi tells people to follow the laws of nature; and Zhuangzi's transcendence never goes out of fashion. A strong population is a direct correlation to a strong culture; a tribe with few people has no culture to speak of, and the expansion of the community is the expansion of culture.

The spirit of dedication conveyed in traditional poems and the dedication of historical figures to the service of their country and countryside should be a model for the Chinese people for generations to come. Scientific and technological progress and traditional culture are not incompatible, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, the "five principles" can also be applied to any field of science and technology. The United States should be the world's first scientific and technological power, science and technology to develop the country, no doubt, but can unite the whole nation is the country's traditional culture rather than the laws of science.

So, in today's increasing development of science and technology, we should not only let the traditional culture return, but also use it reasonably in our daily life, so that the traditional culture combined with the development of the present civilization, so that everyone can obtain a correct value. In this era of leaping development of science and technology, traditional culture and national education become more and more important. Because the development of science and technology, so that people's material life is more and more affluent, but the spirit is more and more impetuous, a little inattention, will go to the other extreme.
