The Basic Spirit of Qilu Culture

Spiritual strength is an important part of a nation, and only spiritual representatives can narrow the distance between people. But different places have different spiritual beliefs, and different cultures are different.

Then, this issue of regional culture analyzes the basic spirit of Qilu culture.

Self-improvement spirit

Self-improvement is one of the basic spirits of Qilu culture, and it is also the internal driving force for the development of Qilu culture. It is like flowing water from the source, giving Qilu culture endless vitality. The main representatives of Qilu culture are Jiang Taigong, Guan Zhong, Yan Ying, Confucius, Sun Tzu, Mozi and Mencius. And the schools of Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism and military strategists represented by them, all actively joined the WTO and helped the world, full of vigorous and enterprising spirit.

Although other Qilu philosophers have different views, they are consistent in their vigorous and enterprising spirit. Qilu culture, the basic spirit, has been fully developed in the traditional culture of China, and has become the basic spirit of our nation, which has played a huge positive role in our nation's self-reliance, development and independence from the world.

Patriotic spirit of advocating honesty

Integrity, that is, ambition and moral integrity, refers to the quality of upholding justice and truth and preferring death to surrender to evil. Among honesty, national honesty is the most important. National integrity is the moral basis of patriotism, which takes safeguarding the interests of the nation and the country as the highest principle, showing indomitable spirit of struggle and a strong sense of caring for the country and the people. At this point, Qilu philosophers have the same characteristics. They all created the patriotic spirit of Qilu culture, but Confucianism is the most prominent one.

Apply what you have learned to the spirit of saving the world.

The spirit of collectivism is another dominant spirit of Qilu philosophers and schools. First of all, Taoism in Guanzhong attaches great importance to gregarious, unity and unity. They believe that gregarious, United and unified are the source of strength and the basis for defeating the enemy. Guan Zhong and Guan Zhong's Daoism tend to be overbearing, but their academic thoughts are basically based on hegemony, only emphasizing "harmony between people" and "concentricity".

Diligent and wise spirit of innovation

The reason why Qilu ancient culture is prosperous, full of talents and sages, superior to other regions, besides superior natural conditions, the motive force of national integration and the above-mentioned basic spirit, there is another point worthy of in-depth study, that is, the creative spirit of diligence and wisdom in Qilu culture, which is often ignored.

This spirit is not only reflected in the contention of a hundred schools of thought in Qilu in the pre-Qin period, but also in the invention and creation of Dongyi people in prehistoric times. There were many inventions of Dongyi people in prehistoric times, from the invention of bows and arrows, boats and cars, to the creation of fish, hunting, agriculture, animal husbandry, brewing and smelting technology, to the discovery and creation of astronomy, geography, law, music and etiquette. According to documents and historical legends.
