2. If a culture can survive, it must have one characteristic-inclusiveness. The reason why culture can continue is that it can tolerate dissidents, absorb and utilize dissidents and develop into its own better cultural products. Whether it is "learning from foreigners" or "taking advantage", or even today's "cottage production", it only proves that our culture can and has the ability to catch up with new knowledge and technology. We call for "peaceful coexistence", and we insist on "seeking common ground while reserving differences" just to show them our tolerance and broadness! Take everything, take the best and get rid of the worst. Although we advocate "non-interference", development should not be closed, and we should "interfere" more or less. Decisively choose out-of-date major policies and put forward appropriate strategic needs in a timely manner!
3. Historical facts have proved that the accumulation of Confucian culture for thousands of years has been impacted by the new culture, and Confucian ideology and culture have been branded as serving the interests of the feudal ruling class. Because she really lacks the elements of "freedom and fairness" of individual citizens advocated more in the new civilization. The root of the rule of law civilization is to ensure the fairness of personal means of production and protect the survival of individuals with a free and fair competitive environment. Citizens are no longer the private assets of the ruling class, and the state is no longer the interest tool of the ruling class. It should be a legal tool that can represent the interests of every citizen, provide services and help to citizens, and better reflect the will of the whole people. At this point, the old American colonial cultural federal system experienced the Civil War before occupying the cultural commanding heights of the times. Although the former Soviet Union stood the test of foreign countries, it was dragged down by its own cultural cognitive limitations and its physical strength collapsed. We say that there are many reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the most fundamental one is culture. History is a mirror. The reason why we can bear the impact of the new culture is because we can tolerate and absorb the nutrition of the new culture. The profound cultural background can help us resist the pain caused by the impact and win the time needed for choice. The birth and growth of a new culture will never be smooth sailing, and she will have to experience the double suffering of foreign countries and memories. Walking on thin ice is learning and exploring.
We advocate innovation, that is, on the basis of "taking it for my own use", we will go further and develop our own things. Compared with "shanzhai", innovation is actually more difficult. Americans are powerful because they inherited the old culture (British colonial culture) and absorbed the local culture (Indian civilization is foreign civilization to British colonial culture), thus creating the federal culture. So far, the United States has retained the means to attract immigrants to gather talents to strengthen itself. She is the most foreign federal civilization, and all talents are monopolized by her. Fortunately, we should be glad that our population is huge and there are enough opportunities for talents to emerge in large numbers! However, we must understand that the result of a large population is that individuals can share fewer educational resources, and we can popularize secondary education, but it is more difficult for us to cultivate high-tech professionals who can innovate in various fields. As a result, we can make many cheap low-end products, but it is difficult to master more sophisticated core technologies. "Madein China" is a vivid portrayal of us, always accompanied by such a wry smile and embarrassment!
Some of us yearn for the old American culture, thus turning our backs on what our ancestors left behind, because they don't see the inferiority of American culture-selfishness. An inevitable and interesting phenomenon in the development of new culture is the excessive pursuit of "new" things, so as to get rid of the traditional old things. As we mentioned earlier, the new culture pays attention to personal "fairness and freedom", but when it comes to personal interests, the protection of the old beauty can be said to be the pinnacle. Too much emphasis on the individual will inevitably provide breeding ground for selfishness, and sometimes even the government has to yield to the interests of the individual, leading to the inefficiency of the government! Give all the time to vote! Fortunately, they have a god, so that their cultural beliefs will not lack too many nutrients! But the appearance of selfishness is greed, and the appearance of greed is possession, so it suppresses the survival of other cultures, limits the sharing of scientific and technological knowledge, tramples on dissidents at will, and grabs resources around the world. Over time, we can see its ugly essence-the badness of capitalism-selfishness. Just like Grandet is guarding his wealth and won't close his eyes! ! ! ! ! Lao Meijing threw down her high-tech coat and hysterically waved the banner of freedom, which was spurned by the whole human civilization. This time, it is estimated that God is powerless to save this selfish man!
The author believes that the long-term existence of Chinese civilization stems from the advanced ideas of the Chinese nation: first, it is good at self-discipline and contentment; The second is to tolerate others, do not do to others what you don't want them to do to you. Therefore, no matter what natural or man-made disasters you experience, you can slow down and be brilliant again!
First, Chinese civilization has been passed down for thousands of years. In my opinion, there are the following points. The first is writing. As the most important characters of human civilization, Chinese characters have played a decisive role in the inheritance of our civilization. China is a vast country with different languages. In some areas, if foreigners go, they even need an interpreter to understand, but if they communicate in writing, it will be completely barrier-free.
The second is to write history. Since the emergence of Chinese characters, there has been a habit of writing history. As an ancient book, the role of history books is irreplaceable and indispensable.
Then there is what the original author said about the inclusiveness of Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has been the most advanced in the world, except for the closed door for nearly three or four hundred years, which missed the industrial revolution. For thousands of years, our civilization has been the most advanced in the world. In addition to the intelligence and wisdom of our Chinese nation, we Chinese nation pay attention to developing our own civilization, absorbing foreign advanced civilization and digesting it into our own civilization. For example, our sugar production was learned from ancient India. Many vegetables we eat now, such as cucumbers, persimmons and corn, are imported. The tables and chairs we use every day began to be used after the Song Dynasty, and there are many musical instruments, such as pipa and huqin. Many foreign things have become the products of China's local civilization and become a part of Chinese civilization.
Thirdly, it is language. Chinese itself is a tool connecting the preceding with the following. In our ordinary speech, we will use ancient idioms, allusions, poems and so on, which themselves inherit the history of China everywhere, so as long as we can speak Chinese, Chinese civilization is there.
Second, geographical location: First of all, the territory of China is very ideal:
1. To the west are the Himalayas and the western desert. There are basically no intruders in this direction.
2. There are mountains and rivers in the southwest, and a lot of precipitation and rivers have also blocked the potential invaders in the southwest. Moreover, Southeast Asia has a small place, a hot climate and a lot of precipitation, so it is impossible to form a dynasty that can threaten the central empire.
Until the early Qing Dynasty, China's "navy" was the most powerful in the world, and no maritime neighbor could threaten maritime security.
There is not much land for people to live in the north, and then there is cold Siberia in the north. Moreover, there is little precipitation in this area, so we can only graze. Moreover, the Han people in this area can also fight very well. In other words, the geographical position of the Chinese nation is very superior. So that our nation will not be invaded and slaughtered by a large number of foreigners in times of war and weakness.
Secondly, the Chinese nation can fight, but the Huns, Turks and Mongols we defeated and drove away can sweep across Europe. It shows that the fighting capacity of Europeans is far less than that of the Chinese nation for quite some time.
Third, the great charm and inclusiveness of the Chinese nation. Foreigners who entered the Central Plains also learned China culture and integrated into the Chinese nation. When we are strong, drive away the invaders; When we are not strong enough, melt the invaders.
It has the most ideal climatic conditions and grain-producing areas in the world: northeast to south China are grain-producing areas, especially between the two rivers. The huge grain output makes our nation prosperous. The climate with four distinct seasons is also the most perfect.
According to the author's understanding, the most important objective factor is that the geographical position of the Chinese nation is extremely superior and the land is the most fertile in the world. The climate is also perfect.
