This question is really hard to say. Let's scan the anchor through time and space and make a rough analysis.
First, the splendid history of 5,000 years is the basic framework of China culture.
There are ancient Peking man, Lantian man and other paleontological fossils as evidence. Walking upright, drilling fires, the formation of clans, tribes and tribal alliances, although there are some mysterious parts such as myths and legends that need time to be verified, no one can deny what the descendants of China said.
As for the well-documented history, since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, an ancient country with multi-ethnic coexistence has emerged in China! Fight against the heaven, the earth, all kinds of disasters in nature and the ignorance and backwardness of mankind. Develop production, science and explore the mysteries of the universe. All dynasties have left immortal underground cultural relics and written materials.
Moreover, the country has been pursuing independence, harmony, unity and self-improvement since it entered the class society and established the national system. Although the national movement has ups and downs, the national pulse has never stopped! This is a unique social phenomenon in the world! It is the only historical treasure among the four ancient civilizations!
Secondly, the splendid culture of 5,000 years is the heavy core of China culture.
Although the West still has doubts about China's 5,000-year history, the ancient and thick China culture is universally recognized!
The low connotation of China culture comes from this heavy historical culture.
Ancient, dating back to myths and legends. Nu Wa made man, made up the goddess of heaven, Fu invented drilling wood to make fire, Chao family built a nest to live in, Xiong family built a hole, Shennong collected seeds and taught the people to cultivate crops, and so on. These fairy tales have profound implications, which explain many China people's special beliefs! Ancient water is the source of China culture.
As for the battle of Emperor Yanhuang, chasing the sun, shooting for nine days, fools moving mountains, and jingwei filling the sea, it not only shows the massiness, brilliance and mystery of Chinese civilization, but also vividly depicts the vivid process of the formation, development and integration of the Chinese nation in exaggeration, and at the same time solves the ancient national spirit of the Chinese nation. In tolerance, they are unwilling to yield to fate, dare to challenge their opponents with all their strength, and are willing to sacrifice and not afraid of sacrifice.
Later legends, such as Yao Shunyu's abdication, from knotting notes, the creation of hieroglyphics, the invention of gunpowder, compass, papermaking and printing, to the special evolution of China Du Hui and the process of regime change, especially since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, from Qin Shihuang, the official history of the twenty-fifth history, the multi-version unofficial history circulated by the people, as well as various disciplines, religious classics, literary works and China traditional studies.
For example, in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius and other hundred schools of thought contended, which was rare in the world. You can only read five classics such as Li, Yi, Chunqiu, The Doctrine of the Mean and Daxue.
Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Buddhism and Taoism have their own strengths, which have been seen in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Literary genres such as the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing operas, mystery novels, couplets, etc. From generation to generation, each leads the way.
Wan Li Great Wall, Dujiangyan Project, Zheng Guoqu, Grand Canal Project, Forbidden City Building, modern Beijing-Zhangjia Railway and other historical architectural relics all show the boldness, wisdom and independence of China people, which are unparalleled in the world.
Another example is historical events, such as Zheng He's voyage to the West and Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan Province Province. It serves to show that the unprecedented navigation and shipbuilding industry in China made Columbus dumbfounded. China people's foreign policy of advocating harmony, making friends and mutual benefit and win-win in foreign exchanges is inherited by national genes and history!
China people would rather let things go. But if it touches the core interests of the people of China, that's another matter! Especially in the face of the hegemonists and robbers of the law of the jungle, has China people's indomitable will to fight to the end and the national spirit of fighting to the end really been displayed? People don't attack me, I don't attack. If people attack me, I will attack? National character! Zheng Chenggong is like this, and so is Yang Jingyu. Fourteen years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are the concentrated displays of this national essence!
You can tell the whole leopard by looking at it! A simple scan, do you think it's shocking?
In fact, in modern times, although the rulers of China were corrupt and incompetent, their national strength declined, and their national fortune declined, people's calls for reform, efforts to eradicate corruption, drive away the infringers, and fight the invaders to the end were endless.
This is the pursuit? The golden mean? The seemingly soft national quality is the national gene that keeps the Chinese nation from dying in twists and turns!
