The Significance of Studying An Introduction to China Culture

Studying and studying China culture is of positive practical significance for the Chinese nation to examine history, dissect itself and create the future. Using the theoretical tool of cultural structure analysis, we can make clear the basic direction of China's cultural development, that is, in terms of material culture, we should complete the transition from natural economy agricultural culture to commodity economy comprehensive industrialized culture as soon as possible; In terms of institutional culture, we should eliminate the remnants of patriarchal clan system, break the stereotype of "isomorphism between family and country", and establish just and harmonious interpersonal relationships, social norms and political structure based on democracy and legal system; In the aspect of behavior culture, it inherits the civilized heritage of "the state of etiquette", and at the same time gets rid of its troublesome and rigid historical dirt, reshaping the polite, lively and vigorous spirit of Chinese civilization; In terms of mentality culture, we should carry forward ethical culture, pay attention to moral cultivation, adjust the advantages and disadvantages of interpersonal relationships, and avoid the historical paradox that scientific and technological progress and moral decay are contradictory in the process of western modernization. At the same time, improve scientific awareness, advocate rational speculation, and combine the traditional admonition of virtue, merit and sentence with the times concept of seeking truth, goodness and beauty, so as to complete the national value standard, thinking mode and aesthetics in the process of promoting scientific and technological progress and social development. At present, historians should pay special attention to the "lagging" characteristics of institutional culture, behavioral culture and mentality culture relative to the evolution of material culture. While speeding up the development of productive forces and scientific and technological revolution, we should actively and steadily push forward the reform of economic system and political system, build socialist spiritual civilization, promote the construction of a harmonious socialist society, inherit and change traditions with a rational spirit and a realistic attitude, and create a vibrant new culture for the Chinese nation in the 2 1 century.
