What is Han culture and what is Han culture?

Southeast Asia belongs to the [Han Cultural Circle]!

Chinese, Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Chinese medicine.

1. Chinese. The word Chinese has many meanings, and it has the characteristics of changing according to different times and different contexts. In the language habits of the ancient Han people or the ancestors of the Han people, articles and words are called "wen", which refers to the words and articles of the nation.

2. Confucianism.

Confucianism is one of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes. Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, was founded by Confucius and initially referred to the master of ceremonies engaged in the funeral industry, and later gradually formed a complete Confucian ideological system based on it, which became the mainstream of traditional Chinese culture and had a far-reaching influence.

3. Taoism.

Taoism is named after the core concept of "Tao", which was first seen in the Western Han Dynasty historian Sima Tan's "On the Essence of the Six Schools", which was also called a moralist at the beginning. Broadly speaking, it is mainly divided into three factions: Lao Zhuang faction, Huang Lao faction, and Yang Zhu faction.

4. Legalist thought.

Legalism is one of the important schools of thought in the Warring States Period, because it advocates the rule of law, "do not be close to each other, do not distinguish the noble and lowly, and break the law", so it is called Legalism. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong and Zi Chuan were the forerunners of Legalism. In the early Warring States period, Li Kui, Shang Ying, Shen Buxian, and Shen Dao founded the Legalist school.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is traditional medicine based on the medical practice of the Han people. Traditional Chinese medicine takes the five elements of yin and yang as the theoretical basis, regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit, and explores the best through the methods of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting.

Han culture is the mainstream culture of China, also known as Chinese culture, which refers to the Han culture, which refers to the unique Chinese culture that has evolved and developed on the basis of the hundred schools of thought of the sons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is characterized by the development of Chinese Confucian culture as its backbone. It should be noted that most of the articles in this article"China"、"China"、"Huaxia"It is synonymous, and both refer to the area of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basin.

The Han nationality in China has created a brilliant culture and art in ancient times, with distinctive characteristics. The Han nationality has a history of more than 5,000 years that can be examined in physical objects and more than 4,000 years of history that can be examined in writing, and the cultural classics are extremely rich. For thousands of years, many representative figures and works with far-reaching influence have been produced in various fields such as military, philosophy, economics, historiography, natural science, literature, and art.

Of course, it is the traditional national culture of the Han nationality.

First of all, "rites" is the core element of Han culture, throughout the Chinese civilization of 5,000 years, are inseparable from a ritual word, the Han nationality is a nation that attaches great importance to etiquette, China, known as "the ancient civilization", "the state of etiquette" is famous in the world. In the course of its 5,000-year history, ritual has strongly influenced and restricted the thoughts, speeches and actions of the Han people.

Emphasis on etiquette, observance of etiquette, etiquette and righteousness have been internalized into a kind of people's conscious consciousness and wear in their psychological and behavioral activities, the master of Chinese culture Qian Mu said, Chinese culture in the final analysis is a word, that is, etiquette.

Courtesy is the norm for all Chinese behavior. In the long history of more than 2,000 years, rites have played the most central role and have played an immeasurable role in the politics, economy, culture, and customs of ancient society. Without Eli Lilly, there is no way to talk about Chinese civilization.

To sum up, I think etiquette is the core element of Han culture.

Secondly, the worship of heaven and ancestors, ancestor worship, is also the place where Han culture is obviously different from other civilizations. Throughout the history of China, the Han people never believed in ghosts and gods, let alone religion, "all things are based on heaven, and people are from ancestors, so the ancestors are matched with heaven and earth," and the ancestors are also respected by the ancestors.

Respecting heaven and the ancestors is the noble belief of the Chinese nation since ancient times! The things worshiped by the Han people have always been flesh and blood people, not high gods. This is the uniqueness of Han culture, so I think respecting heaven and Dharma is also an essential element of Han culture.

Finally, the concept of the world, that is, the distinction of Huayi, has run through the ideological system of more than 2,000 years since the Western Zhou Dynasty, from "the south and the north are intertwined, China is endless" to "Rong Di jackal, not tired, Zhuxia intimacy, can not be abandoned", "the people of China, is really the foundation of the world, the four Yi are the same branches and leaves", "expelled Hulu, restored China, established discipline and Chen Gang, and relieved the people" and so on.

The concept of Yixia defense is deeply imprinted in the blood of the Chinese rulers, of course, it is also deeply imprinted in the blood of every Han people, so there is a defeat in the naval battle of Yashan, the people have jumped into the sea to martyrdom, rather die than surrender, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, shaved hair and was easy to wear, and the people of the whole country resisted to the death and shed blood.

Huayi Zhizhi has played a vital role in the long history of more than 2,000 years, so I believe that Huayi Zhizhi is also an element of Han culture.

China's Chinese culture, in fact, we prefer to call it "Han culture", it covers a wide range, the content is quite rich, people's evaluation of it is broad and profound, since we want to study, research Chinese culture, I think, we first need to ** a little: why is Han culture broad and profound?

On this issue, I will first elaborate my point of view, and at the same time, I very much hope that the majority of netizens will actively participate in the discussion:

First of all, the reason why Chinese culture is so broad and profound lies in the fact that China has a very long history of civilization: we often say that Chinese civilization is 5,000 years old, but in fact, the history of Chinese civilization is more than 5,000 years? Take the Book of Changes, the first of the group classics, for example, frankly, who of us knows where it really originated?

People say that Lianshan Yi, Guizang Yi, Zhou Yi, Lianshan Yi is the legend of Fuxi's creation, Guizang Yi legend is created by the Yellow Emperor, Zhou Yi is of course created by King Wen of Zhou, but, in fact, Fuxi, the Yellow Emperor or not, are just legends, and in ancient times, people's civilization creation usually pretended to be the corresponding saint, but in any case, that is, in the ancient Fuxi era the innate I Ching has been created; Now, people's evaluation of the Book of Changes is the Oriental Mysticism, but its accuracy is beyond doubt, and the scientific laws in it are still worthy of people's attention. The answer, of course, is no, and it must be the result of the accumulation of experience over a long period of time, so the history of civilization in our country is by no means a history of 5,000 years, but a history of civilization over a longer period of time.

Secondly, the reason why Chinese culture is so broad and profound lies in the characteristics of the Chinese nation: there are many ancient civilizations in the world, but only China has such a broad and profound splendid civilization, why? The reason lies in the characteristics of the Chinese nation: good at learning, good at continuous innovation, good at summarizing, and inclusive; If the ancients "eat all day long and have nothing to do", then the history of China's broad and profound civilization must be a fantasy, but the Chinese nation has always been persevering in the accumulation of culture, and has been accumulating and innovating in the long history, for example, as far as literature is concerned, the pre-Qin era produced a lot of beautiful prose, and even, people wrote books and said, and paid great attention to the cultivation of words, including historical books, such as "Zuo Chuan", "Spring and Autumn", many records are very concise in language, and the text is quite beautiful, During the Han Dynasty, on the basis of summarizing prose, people produced more linguistic characteristics of Fu, and later Tang poems and Song poems, and the style and literature were in the process of continuous innovation; It is precisely in the accumulation and precipitation of history that such a broad and profound Han culture has emerged.

The Confucian system of classics and history, led by the Book of Shang, is not only the historical memory of China, but also the historical memory of the entire Han cultural circle. Korean Buddhism, Korean Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism, and Vietnamese Buddhism all originated in China and used Chinese Buddhist scriptures, all of which are also Han Buddhism. Han Buddhism was introduced to Japan via the Korean Peninsula in the 6th century CE, where it was strongly supported by Prince Shotoku and played an important role in the Daehua Reform Movement.

The eight major schools of Chinese Han Buddhism (Vinaya, Sanlun, Pure Land, Chan, Tiantai, Faxiang, Huayan, and Tantra) have great significance and far-reaching influence in the history of Buddhism in East Asia, as well as in the history of philosophy and thought. Zen Buddhism is a combination of Buddhism and Chinese Confucianism, Taoism and other local cultures, produced in the Tang Dynasty, and then spread to Japan, because of its advocacy of simple and easy cultivation methods, by the Japanese society closed sale of the lower class of the people, become the most influential Buddhist sect in Japan. The most powerful and influential in Japanese Zen Buddhism are the Rinzai sect and the Soto sect.

Han Buddhism spread widely, and the senior monks of the past dynasties were doubled to the side, and more than ten people were named national teachers by the Chinese Son of Heaven and the Japanese Emperor. Todai-ji Temple is the largest religious building in the early history of Han Buddhism in Japan.
