How to look at tradition from the point of view of dialectical negation

Dialectical negation: the negation of oneself by things, that is, the negation of oneself and the development of oneself. But it is not the negation of one thing of another (not the negation of external forces).

The essence of the dialectical concept of negation is to "promote and renounce", both affirm and negate, overcome the reservation, overcome the negative part of the thing, and retain the positive part of the thing.

The basic content of the dialectical view of negation:

First, negation is the self-negation of things, the result of the movement of contradictions within things.

Second, negation is the link in the development of things. It is the transformation of the old to the new, the leap from the old to the new. It is only through negation that we can believe in the transformation of things.

Third, negation is the link between the old and the new, the new thing is born from the old thing, and the old and the new thing are connected through the link of negation.

Fourth, the essence of dialectical negation is "promoting and abandoning", that is, the new thing criticizes and inherits the old thing, and overcomes its negative factors and retains its positive factors.

Dialectic, in Chinese pinyin biànzhèng, refers to dialectical analysis and research, describing a comprehensive vision of looking at problems. It refers to the correct reflection of people's dialectical development process of objective things through concepts, judgments, reasoning and other forms of thinking, that is, the reflection of objective dialectics.

Self-denial through the movement of internal contradictions, that is, self-denial of oneself, and through one's own negation, the self-movement, self-improvement and self-development of things are realized, and are based on the unity of opposites.

Basics. First, negation is the self-negation of things, the result of the contradictory movement of things. Second, negation is the link in the development of things. Third, negation is the link between the old and the new, and the old and the new are connected through the negation link.

Fourth, the essence of dialectical negation is to "promote and renounce", that is, to overcome and retain.

First, dialectical negation refers to the self-negation of things, which is the result of the struggle of contradictions within things. That is to say, the negation of anything is the self-denial of oneself, and through self-denial, one's own movement and self-development are realized.

Second, dialectical negation is the decisive link in the development of things. The negation of the argument is the transformation of the old to the new, and the leap from the old to the new. Without the negation of the old by the new, it is impossible for nature and human society to achieve development from the lower to the higher.

Third, dialectical negation is the link between things. Materialist dialectics holds that the negation of the old by the new is not simply abandoned, but "abandoned". The so-called "promotion and abandonment" contains the meaning of abandoning, retaining, and carrying forward, that is, both overcoming and retaining, criticizing and inheriting, and on the basis of overcoming the negative factors of the old things, retaining some positive factors that are conducive to the development of the new things.

In this way, although there is a qualitative difference between the old and the new, the new is produced from within the old and therefore has a necessary connection with the old.

The dialectical view of negation holds that negation is the self-negation caused by the internal contradictions of things; The link of negative development and the link of connection include the negation of affirmation, and the negation of the link of development and connection is to abandon it, that is, to overcome and retain it. The dialectical concept of negation is not completed at one time, but goes through a regular process of two negations and three stages, that is, the process of "affirmation-negation-negation of negation". This process of negation of things is, in terms of content, a process of self-development and self-perfection; In form, it is a spiraling or wave-like process.

For traditional Chinese culture and Western culture, it is necessary to take the essence and eliminate the dross.

Traditional culture can be treated in the following ways.

1. The self-denial of things is the result of the movement of contradictions within things.

2. Negation is a link in the development of things. It's a transition from the old to the new, a leap from the old to the new.

3. Negation is the link that connects new things. The new is born out of the old, and the old and the new are linked together by negative associations.

4. The essence of dialectical negation is "promoting and abandoning", that is, the new criticizes the old things, inherits the old things, overcomes the negative factors of the old things, and retains the positive factors of the old things.

The dialectical view of negation holds that it is necessary to make both positive and negative understandings of existing things, and to retain the reasonable and positive factors of the old things and overcome the irrational and negative factors of the old things.

For traditional culture, it is also necessary to dialectically negate it, absorb the essence of traditional culture, and overcome the dross of traditional culture. The traditional culture is abandoned, that is, the criticism and inheritance, the old and the new, and the old and the new.

1.The essence of dialectical negation is renunciation. In dealing with Western culture and traditional Chinese culture, we are required to take the essence of Western culture, remove the dross, criticize and inherit it, and overcome its negative factors while retaining its positive factors.

2.The law of negation reveals the unity of the progressive and tortuous nature of the development of things. Dealing with Western culture and traditional Chinese culture requires us to adopt an attitude of scientific analysis and oppose the negative view of affirming everything and denying everything.
