This paper discusses how to treat the traditional culture of China.

The most important feature of China traditional culture is that its dominant position has been occupied by the value orientation of Confucian ethical culture for a long time. Confucian ethical culture has been the core of China culture for 5,000 years. From primitive humans in China to modern society, it still affects the way of thinking and behavior of the Chinese nation. In addition, we can also recognize the following characteristics:

First of all, China's traditional culture is the product of a natural economy dominated by agriculture under the condition of a closed ecological environment. It was created with the Han nationality as the main body and the wisdom of people of all ethnic groups. This social spiritual form in a specific region and a specific human circle has a strong national character.

Secondly, China's traditional culture is a complete and huge system, which lasted for 5,000 years. It permeates all aspects of social life from philosophical thinking, thinking mode, psychological tendency and so on. It is very rich and has the integrity of content.

Third, as a cultural tradition, it will be handed down from generation to generation, whether it is natural or selective, and it will never stop with the passage of time. The inheritance of education belongs to selective inheritance, that is, to pass on the excellent part. Therefore, it is permanently hereditary.

Fourth, traditional culture belongs to the old times. Due to the limitations of the times, it is always divided into two parts, the essence and dross coexist, and nutrients and toxins coexist. It has both positive and negative effects on education, and has a dual effect.
