China's traditional culture is profound and has a long history. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi, and many other schools that played an important role in the history of China thought emerged. Confucian culture, especially represented by Confucius, can be said to be one of the sources of human civilization, especially eastern civilization, which not only had a great influence in the historical process, but also still plays a role today.
From the perspective of ideological connotation, the basic spirit of traditional culture, which is of decisive significance to the formation and development of the Chinese nation, is generally manifested in four aspects, namely, the concept of harmony between man and nature, the concept of people-oriented, the concept of being vigorous and promising, and the concept of emphasizing harmony. As the source of national wisdom and the carrier of cultural inheritance, these traditional cultures are not only the internal driving force of historical development, but also valuable resources for us to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture.
As an ideological and cultural system that has played an important role in the history of China for a long time, and as an official ideology for more than 2,000 years, traditional culture still has a profound influence in the depth of social life and people's ideology. Therefore, in the process of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture, we should always attach importance to refining and absorbing all the outstanding spiritual wealth created by people at all times and all over the world, including the contents worthy of reference in traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as all the outstanding cultural achievements introduced from abroad. On this basis, we will build a socialist ideological and cultural system that not only maintains the excellent national traditions, but also suits the characteristics of contemporary society.
Without the promotion of culture and the inheritance and development of national spirit, it is impossible to realize socialist modernization. In the cultural renaissance, an indispensable lesson is to study China's outstanding cultural heritage in depth, which requires not only the promotion and cultivation of national spirit, but also the inheritance and innovation of history and culture. Whether we can learn and be good at synthesizing Chinese and Western cultures in the process of historical and cultural inheritance and innovation will directly affect the development direction of advanced culture in contemporary China.
Under the new situation of reform, opening up and modernization, we should make a comprehensive and scientific analysis of traditional culture, and we can neither adopt the attitude of national nihilism nor cherish the past and the present. The correct attitude is to inherit critically, innovate in inheritance and pay attention to creative transformation. The soil on which the traditional culture with Confucianism as the mainstream depends is a semi-natural and semi-educated society based on family and agriculture. This socio-economic and cultural structure no longer exists in most areas of China, and the lifestyle and cultural customs of people related to it have also undergone profound changes. The change of social structure has also brought about ideological progress and the promotion of national spirit, which has developed into a great national spirit with patriotism as the core, unity, love for peace, diligence, courage and self-improvement. This is the most solid and reliable guarantee for our country and nation to stand on their own feet in the world. Judging from China's current reality, it should be fully affirmed that the establishment of the socialist market economic system is a profound change, which not only opens up a broad field of productivity development, but also creates new conditions for economic development and social progress, adds new vitality and promotes the development of productivity. Moreover, in the ideological field, new moral concepts have been born, and people's sense of competition, efficiency and enterprising spirit have been greatly enhanced.
In the face of the mutual agitation of various ideologies and cultures in today's world, we should confidently combine the promotion of traditional culture with the cultivation of national spirit as an important task in the construction of spiritual civilization, and bring it into the whole process of national education, so that all the people can always maintain a high spirit.
