China's traditional morality is a contradiction with distinct duality. What positive progress does the essence show? As follows:

China's traditional morality is a contradiction, with distinct duality of essence and dross. As the essence of Chinese traditional morality, the sensitive bureau of Chinese traditional virtue should persist in serving the present and bringing forth the new, and strive to realize the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese traditional virtue on the basis of eliminating the rough and selecting the fine, eliminating the false and retaining the true.

At the same time, we should be wary of two wrong views: one is illusory (total westernization) and the other is retro theory (copying traditional culture without refining). These two kinds of mistakes separate the relationship between universality and particularity in traditional culture.

Extended data

The meaning of value is to regard "essence" and "dross" as the meaning and function of existing cultural phenomena under realistic conditions, that is, to see whether the things left over from the past are good or bad according to our present survival and development.

The implicit premise here is that we don't think that the meaning of good or bad phenomena is always so fixed, but admit that good or bad is essentially different from person to person and from time to time. Therefore, our job is to look at the past objectively, focusing on selecting and transforming people and society from their realistic development.
