What is the basic spirit of China traditional culture?

The basic spirit of China traditional culture is mainly summarized as the following five points:

1, the people-oriented spirit.

"People-oriented" in China's traditional culture is "people-oriented" politically, that is, people-oriented thought. China's people-oriented thought has a long history. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of feudal society, almost all progressive thinkers and politicians advocated and publicized people-oriented thought, thus making it the most influential and enduring philosophical and political thought in China culture.

2. The perseverance of combining rigidity with softness.

Combining rigidity with softness is the theoretical generalization and value refinement of China people's attitude towards life, and it is the most positive content in the Chinese national spirit. When Confucius founded Confucianism, he emphasized "rigidity" without losing "softness". China culture emphasizes "Confucianism and Taoism complement each other", that is, masculinity must be coordinated with femininity.

3. The neutralization spirit of noble monks.

Harmony is an important category of China's ancient philosophy, which plays a unique role in the cultural development of China. It is not only an idea, but also the basic spirit of the Chinese nation. The inheritance of the idea of "neutralization" is particularly important. The Confucian tradition is to control foreigners with foreigners, be virtuous and gentle, and adopt a policy of imprisonment.

4. The spirit of tolerance of harmony but difference.

Historically, China culture has taken the road of peace and development with the concept of "harmony but difference", which has contributed to the diversified development of world civilization.

5. The humanistic spirit of the benevolent loving others.

One of the core concepts of Confucianism is "the benevolent loves others", that is, the idea of benevolence. This moral tradition and profound "benevolence" of the Chinese nation are the spiritual sources of helping others in the same boat and sacrificing their own interests in order to safeguard social interests and people's interests.

Inheritance of the basic spirit of China culture;

"Sinology fever" and "traditional culture fever" are by no means a return to the past. The most important thing is to inherit the basic spirit of Chinese culture through Chinese studies and traditional culture, make it glow with new elegance in modern times, create a cultural form that adapts to the times, and apply it to all aspects of our social life.

In the historical period of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should carry forward its excellent components, eliminate its dross, continue to inherit and innovate in the great practice of the new era, and constantly activate these spirits with the hearts, wisdom and courage of contemporary China people;

Establish and strengthen national self-esteem and self-confidence, form a sense of the times that recognizes Chinese culture and a sense of mission to revitalize Chinese civilization, and provide spiritual motivation for realizing the Chinese dream and spiritual support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
