Tradition in the bones

The tradition in the bones comes from the living experience of one side's soil and water, and the shaping and cultivation of people by the environment. Born as a Han nationality, he is tough in his bones. It began to multiply from the origin of the nation. Farming depends on the weather to survive in adversity.

So this nation pays attention to reproduction, not by individuals, but by family clans. Filial piety leads to prosperity, while benevolence leads to harmony among people. Therefore, we are a survival culture and a culture based on the reality of life.

Be practical, focus on the present and reproduce the world. It seems that everyone is real and not so bound. If westerners have a high god in their hearts to supervise and restrain them. Then we have to bury the metaphysical "benevolence" in our hearts to guide us how to become a person.

This person must attach importance to the collective, because this nation can only survive by collective strength. But many times, we only have our own small collective, but we have no consideration for the big collective at all.

Before reading The Deep Structure of China Culture, I made up my mind to be an independent person. But in the soil of China, it is difficult for a person to live independently. Because the culture in the bones can only be supported if it is for the sake of the people around you.

The king is not the most rational or intelligent person, but the person who best conforms to human "virtue" and pleads for the people. The west is different. As long as you pursue truth or nature, you will be respected.

Knowing this is like a cage and fate. What kind of person will I be?
