Why Chinese culture has been prosperous for a long time, etc.!

Among the four ancient civilizations in the world, whether it is the ancient Egyptian civilization, the ancient Greek civilization, or the ancient Indian civilization, they have all been ruthlessly destroyed by external forces in the process of historical development, but the ancient Chinese civilization has never been broken. Why is that? The mystery is in**?

Professor Li Shaolian has made a useful exploration of this issue from the perspective of the rich resources and development process of the ancient culture of the Central Plains in his recent book "The Civilization That Will Never Be Lost: A Study of the Ancient Culture of the Central Plains".

He believes that there are eight main factors for the long-term prosperity of Chinese civilization: first, it is vast and powerful; Second, Chinese traditional culture has a powerful power to dissolve foreign cultures; Third, a strong national subject has strengthened the foundation of the country; Fourth, the Confucian idea of governing the country and securing the country has a profound humanistic charm; fifth, the tenacious adaptability of the Chinese nation; Sixth, the Central Plains civilization has always been ahead of the surrounding civilizations; Seventh, the patriotic tradition of the Chinese nation; Eighth, we have always adhered to the cultural attitude of foreign use and independent development. (History**).

Geographically speaking, China is surrounded by the sea to the east and south, and the southwest region has the world's largest plateau: the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where other foreign peoples cannot invade, only the threat from the north, but the north is dominated by nomadic peoples, who cannot replace the advanced Chinese agricultural civilization, and are eventually assimilated by the Chinese civilization.

Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more early pedestrians.

The land where traditional Chinese culture grew is gone. Times have changed.

The great changes in society have made it difficult for traditional Chinese culture to adapt. In essence, modern society is still "Westernized". It's different from the root.

The alienation of capital from people", everything can be measured in money. In the early days of economic development, traditional culture was clearly the "least valuable" part. As the economy grows, so does the demand for culture.

People will have a greater demand for traditional culture, such as the current national wind fever, Hanfu fever, which are still relatively shallow commercial development. Only by further development can we truly realize the inheritance and development of "traditional culture".

Your own people lie to your own people, and your own people have not changed since ancient times.

The reasons for the decline of modern Chinese culture are varied.

In ancient society, Chinese culture was at the forefront of the world for a long time. However, with the gradual decline of China's feudal rule and the great rush of modern industrial civilization in the West, Chinese culture has also experienced a process of decline.

1) Politically: the bourgeois revolution in Europe capitalism began to replace feudalism.

Economically: the capitalist economy arose and developed, producing the Industrial Revolution and beginning to impact the feudal natural economy.

Ideologically: Following the Renaissance, the Enlightenment Movement produced people's ideological concepts more openly, which shook the idea of feudal rule, impacted feudal rule, and enhanced people's national and democratic consciousness.

Culturally: Modern natural science flourished, laying the foundation of modern natural science.

With the opening of new shipping routes, the development of the industrial revolution, the colonial plunder of Western countries, and the relative isolation between continents has been broken, the world has increasingly become a mutually influencing and closely connected whole.

2) The rulers of the Qing Dynasty tried their best to brutally suppress progressive ideas The Chinese intellectual circles were "all in one" and lifeless.

China's traditional science and technology has entered a period of summary, and the level of modern science and technology is backward, and it is increasingly lagging behind the world trend;

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty had a strong sense of feudal backwardness and a weak sense of nationality and democracy.

The East Asian cultural sphere, centered on China, is gradually disappearing.

A large number of Western studies were introduced to China, and the phenomenon of Western studies spreading eastward continued to develop, impacting traditional Chinese thought and culture.

3) The decline of the state deprives culture of the political and economic conditions for development, and accelerates the decline of culture. National decline is a decisive factor in cultural decline.

Cultural decline is an important manifestation of national decline, reflecting that national decline is not conducive to national development. Now, although our country's status in the world has been improved, the country's economic strength has also improved, all kinds of ** are reporting about the take-off of Chinese culture, what foreigners are keen on Chinese culture, the popularity of Chinese animation in foreign countries, and the revival of traditional culture in the Beijing Olympics, etc., but in my opinion, Chinese culture is the traditional Chinese culture has been declining, China has no scholars who really concentrate on study, there is no collection of writers, how can there be the so-called take-off of Chinese culture!

The advanced nature of Chinese culture lies in Confucianism and Legalism in the interior. Embodied before the 18th century ... Although the land of China has been repeatedly invaded by foreign nations for thousands of years, but because of the advanced nature of its culture and ideology, each invasion has become a great fusion of nationalities, from Qiang, Rong, Di, Barbarian to Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Turkic, Tuling, Hui, and then to Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, Mongolia, and Warat, they have changed from foreign invaders to the same big family and big structure, which fully explains the advanced nature of Chinese civilization before the 18th century.

After the 18th century, the superiority of Western science and technology, culture and thought was reflected, while China was complacent and lacked ideological and cultural exchanges because of the needs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as its ruling class. As a result, Chinese culture declined. In order to change the backwardness of culture, what we should do is not simply xenophobia, nor should we blindly follow, but should promote the exchange and integration of ideology and culture, which we are doing, from the reform of the law to Xinhai, from the May Fourth to the founding of the party, from the founding of the country to the reform and opening up, in which we have gone through detours and paid the price of blood, but we have been advancing, have been catching up, and the Chinese culture will eventually take off again one day.

I have to say that there have been several wonderful scenes of great development of Chinese culture in history, and many of our so-called traditional cultural history is not long, Peking Opera is only 200 years, cross talk is probably only 100 years, and there are even more things that have been eliminated in history.

Zi said: "Yin is due to Xia Li, the profit and loss, can be known, Zhou is due to Yin Li, the profit and loss, can be known, or the successor of Zhou, although a hundred generations, can be known." ”

Translation: Rites are always inherited and changed (profit and loss), which is the law of history. Confucius believed that he was aware of the changes in the rites of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and as for the Zhou Dynasty, although for a hundred generations, this law of change would not change, and the rites would definitely continue to develop with the development of society.

I am very disgusted by people who talk about things with traditional culture, and I think that such people are a great harm to China, especially to China today.

The current generation needs to consider not the loss, but the benefit. The current situation is that there is too little to gain, not too much to lose.

Today's benefits are also tomorrow's losses, don't mind.

1.Any technology that existed at the time of my birth was part of the ordinary order of the world.

2.Any technology that was born between the ages of 15 and 35 was a revolutionary product that would change the world.

3.Any technology that comes after I turn 35 is against the laws of nature and will be damned.

Culture is competitive, and some people can say that cultures can merge with each other, but the key is who integrates whom? What culture is the UK? Is there a possibility of a revival of Celtic civilization? We can certainly say that Celtic culture is not dead, but does anyone dare to say that Celtic civilization is alive?

Because now even Chinese companies are "dressing up" like companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. For example, many Japanese restaurants in the world are opened by Taiwanese because they can make money. Chinese are also accustomed to European, American, Japanese and Korean cultures.

In order to make money, Chinese companies have to package themselves. You can make money both at home and abroad. Typically, the "Onmyoji" is a very successful case in China, but not in Japan, and the Japanese look at the Chinese as if they were monkeys walking.

China's large number of people who flatter Japan has given these packaging companies the soil to survive. As a result, Chinese culture is declining. How to fix it?

Popularize education, learn more Taoism, law and ink, and learn less Confucian etiquette, because part of the reason for the cultural inferiority of Chinese is due to the Confucian etiquette and the inferiority of the elders and the young, which is a shackle. Chinese must break the shackles in order to have cultural self-confidence.

The reason why you feel that Chinese culture is declining is because you lack confidence in Chinese culture.

It's on the rise!

Thanks to the international spread of Douyin, young people from all over the world have also begun to sing in drama, poetry, and costume dance!

No, it's a constant opening up and integration of new cultures.

No, Chinese culture is broad and profound.

No, I'm feeling it getting stronger.

No, isn't it still being passed down little by little?

No, isn't it still passed down from generation to generation?

From the beginning of the last century to the middle of the last century, the rate of decline accelerated

It seems that yes, now young people don't know.

1.Some of the things invented and discovered by the ancients have brought many benefits to future generations.

2.Later generations will be cautious to imitate the foundation of the nuclear filial piety brigade of their predecessors to create.

3.Secondly, the impact on the world is huge.

4.China is one of the cradles of mankind.

5.The ancestors of the Chinese nation have labored, lived and multiplied in this vast land since ancient times.

5. The Chinese nation is a great nation that is industrious, courageous, and full of creative spirit. It has been rebuilt over thousands of years of history and is known for its splendid culture and thriving economy.
