#Young people’s thoughts on learning Chinese traditional culture 1#< /p>
Looking back at the dusty history, we are moved by how many sages and nobles cared about the country and the people, and how many precious spiritual wealth they left us. However, in today's impetuous society, how many people have wasted it. Our country’s excellent cultural traditions, how can this not make people worry?
Not to mention the loss of material culture and traditional spiritual culture caused by the demolition of Beijing’s old city wall, some places are scrambling to remove ancient celebrities. It’s shocking to think that one’s ancestors are investing heavily in speculation to create income. I would like to ask: Who is still really defending national culture?
Festivals are a cultural custom, and the meaning of festivals is mainly to promote them. A culture advocates a spirit. If you use festivals to arrange a vacation, the cultural value of the festival will be ignored, and the festival will be buried in concentrated material consumption and dependent on its leisure activities, which will naturally become boring. , should not just be regarded as consumption and leisure, people should pay more attention to enjoying the nourishment of culture. Therefore, the "Golden Week" cannot only be "gold", so as to forget the "culture"!
The Spring Festival is China. The heart of national culture. The Spring Festival, this ancient beacon hanging high on the national sky, reflects contemporary social life with its unique and eternal light. The rolling crowds during the Spring Festival have constituted the eternal landscape on the occasion of the Chinese New Year from ancient times to the present. Going home to celebrate the New Year is not only a gathering of relatives, but also a spiritual baptism and the renewal of ethical relationships. The process of modernization can change people's lives. However, it cannot change the huge flow of people returning home during the Spring Festival, nor can it change the desire of people from all over the world to return home. It is an annual emotional release day for the Chinese people. We should strive to make the traditional Spring Festival full of vitality and warmth a permanent part of the daily life of the Chinese people. Hope. Only in this way can we hold on to our spiritual homeland in the wave of globalization and shine the brilliance of national culture in cultural diversity.
Qingming Festival is also one of China’s important traditional festivals. It is not only a festival for people to worship their ancestors and remember their ancestors, but also a bond for the Chinese nation to pay homage to their ancestors and commemorate their ancestors’ merits. It is closely related to the deep-seated ancestor worship and filial piety in Chinese culture. There is a profound relationship between them. And this culture has been the pillar of harmony and stability in Chinese society for thousands of years. Qingming is a seasonal ceremony for hiking, getting close to nature, and rejuvenating.
Mid-Autumn Festival. , is a traditional festival in China. Its origins and people's worship of the moon and celestial body combine with ancient contents such as tasting autumn and praying for children. It contains Chinese people's humanistic ideals of family reunion, sharing of family affection, and yearning for beauty. It has the function of integrating and regulating society. The importance of relationships. Appreciating the moon is a good opportunity for dialogue and communication between humans and nature, and it is also an effective way to achieve interpersonal coordination. Today, when people are increasingly alienated, appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival still represents the Chinese people's hope of "reunion of the moon in the sky and reunion of people on earth." feelings. For today's Chinese people, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is still an indispensable spiritual culture.
Some people say: "Only when the entire society has a cultural conscience, can our culture have hope." So as I grow up, my unchanging original intention - to inherit traditional culture, has always been with me. Holding my hand left and right, I grew up more steadily and firmly!

For five thousand years, China Along the way, we have traveled a long way, and what we have under our feet is a profound cultural heritage. But today, when it comes to traditional Chinese etiquette, most people do not have a clear concept, and even think that this kind of traditional etiquette is outdated. Therefore, Chinese etiquette culture is suffering from unprecedented past and disdain.
However, the traditional etiquette culture of the Chinese nation is the crystallization of the practice of handling interpersonal relationships by the Chinese people for thousands of years, and it is the norm of behavioral norms between people.
Yang Shi and his school friend You Zuo went to the teacher's house to ask for advice. It was the middle of winter and the weather was freezing cold. When they came to Cheng's house, they happened to see their husband sitting on the roadside meditating and recuperating. Yang Shi and Yang Shi did not dare to disturb the teacher, so they stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for their husband to wake up. After coming for a long time, Cheng Yi When I woke up, I found Yang Shi standing in the wind and snow from the window. She was covered in snow. There was already more than a foot of snow under my feet. Since then, the story of "Cheng Men Li Xue" has become a beautiful story through the ages about respecting teachers and respecting morality.
Etiquette is self-discipline, entering others is a norm, and it shows respect for others. The ancients said, "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up." Civilized etiquette is not only a reflection of personal quality and upbringing, but also a reflection of personal morality and social ethics.
When Huang Xiang was only nine years old in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he knew how to respect the elderly, love the young, and be filial to his parents. In the severe cold of winter, he would use his own body to warm his parents' quilt before asking them to sleep in peace; in the heat of summer, he would use a fan to cool his parents and repel mosquitoes so that they could sleep in peace. Huangxiang Wenxi is a traditional Chinese etiquette of filial piety, filial piety to parents, starting from small things.
In the past hundred years, due to various reasons, some excellent ethics and morals have been destroyed to varying degrees. Today's people have a stronger economic foundation than in the past to honor the elderly, but they no longer have the heart to honor their parents. Honoring their parents is not a matter of intention and weakness, but a lack of intention.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Huilun Kingdom in Xicheng was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Once, in order to express its friendship with the Tang Dynasty, the Huilun Kingdom sent an envoy to bring a batch of treasures to see the Tang king. Among them, the most precious It's a white swan. On the way, the white swan accidentally flew away. The envoy only plucked a few feathers, but failed to catch the white swan. The envoy was worried and frightened and presented the feathers to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty did not blame him, but felt that he was loyal and honest. , fulfilled the mission, and since then, the story of "sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is light on courtesy but heavy on affection" has been spread.
Traditional Chinese etiquette should be a way of life that embodies spiritual values. Transmitting it can make our etiquette flourish.
After all, traditional etiquette is the blood of China that has been passed down for thousands of years. If the blood is blocked, China can only be called a modern country, but cannot be called China. Chinese traditional etiquette culture is extensive and profound, which is enough to make Chinese and overseas people proud and proud. It is an important cohesion of the Chinese nation. Without it, the Chinese people will lose themselves; without it, China will be left with only an empty shell.
Looking at the development of various countries at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, no nation in the world has neglected its own traditional etiquette, and no nation will consider its excellent traditional etiquette to be outdated or harmful. And came the traditional Chinese etiquette culture. It is the responsibility of every Chinese son and daughter. Only in this way can we say loudly and without shame: "I am Chinese!"
#Youth Learning Chinese Traditional Culture Insights 3#
In my Biyun essay, I have talked about a lot of cultural relics and art topics. Today I want to talk about the fifth point, which is the traditional Chinese outlook on life, world outlook and cosmology. This is actually an epistemological issue. Our ancient sages used simple induction and classification to solve it simply and skillfully in the long-term struggle for survival. To solve this problem, this is the Chinese theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements. You must not underestimate this theory! Although this theory has been circulating in China for thousands of years, it has been criticized and censured in modern times. After 1840, foreign powers invaded China, and the Manchu and Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, which led to China's backwardness. Many people regarded this problem as the crux of the problem. It is blamed on Chinese traditional culture and believed that it was Chinese traditional culture that restricted the development of modern science and caused China to be controlled by foreign powers. I personally think this is very one-sided and wrong. China's backwardness is by no means caused by culture. To give an example: take China's imperial examination system. The imperial examination system in China's feudal society, especially the eight-legged essay, has long been notorious. It has been reviled since the beginning of this century or the end of the last century. Until recent years, there were still people writing articles in newspapers to criticize it. It can be said that they have been criticizing it for more than a century. However, the eight-part essay has been the only education and examination style that has been used for 500 years during the Ming and Qing dynasties. All Chinese intellectuals are trained by this educational system.
Those celebrities, those scholars, and those people with lofty ideals and benevolence in the long historical era are all recognized today. However, what cultivated them was the rotten and empty eight-part essay education. How to explain this? There are many things worth thinking about and learning about the imperial examination, but we will not discuss them here.
I think the reason for China's backwardness in modern times is the incompetence of the politicians who hold power. Just look at the ten generations of emperors after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. You can clearly know that the decline of the Qing Dynasty began to accelerate from Daoguang. Emperor Daoguang Letting Xianfeng succeed to the throne was a big mistake in principle. In fact, Prince Gong Yixin's ability and quality were not even a little bit better than Xianfeng; Xianfeng was an incompetent and faint emperor, let alone the later Empress Dowager Cixi, who was A housewife! But this person has a quick mind and has certain public relations skills. If he can manage a family well, wouldn't it be a joke to let him rule a country? China has been in the hands of these foolish women and children for more than half a century. What good results can there be? ! Of course, we must also realize that it is current events that create heroes, not heroes that create current events. Take the great leader as an example. I think he could have done a better job in China. His ability and authority could have built China into a country with great characteristics. New China with democratic politics, but he was born in 1893, the 22nd year of Guangxu's reign. He himself had the influence and limitations imposed on him by society, so he finally engaged in a war that, in the words of Comrade Ye Jianying, brought China's economy to the point of collapse. edge!
What is the content of the Yin Yang and Five Elements theory? It's very simple, it's Yin and Yang plus the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The ancient Chinese sages were very wise. They observed the natural world and human society. They seemed to be complicated, but they were actually two categories, two categories that were both opposite and unified. This is Yin and Yang, such as the sun and the moon, men and women, water and fire, bravery and cowardice, etc. Although this classification is simple, it is not accurate enough to analyze things. Therefore, the Five Elements Theory was proposed, which analyzes nature and things. From long-term observation, five different types of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have been derived to summarize everything. The relationship between all things is summarized by the restraint of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. This outline method turns complexity into simplicity. The theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements describes the attributes and states of everything in the world. It is a function of attributes and states. This is a static description, while the Zhouyi is a dynamic description of Yin and Yang, which presents the process of changes in Yin and Yang. Each of the 64 hexagrams Each hexagram explains a process of changes in affairs. At this point, I have clearly explained the relationship between the theory of Yin Yang and the Five Elements and the Zhouyi. Similarly, numerology is a dynamic description of the changes in the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Of course, there are also Including the changing process of Yin and Yang, this is the same thing, so we can call Zhou Yi the dynamics of Yin and Yang, and numerology the dynamics of the Five Elements. In fact, both Qimen Dunjia and Da Liuren are dynamic descriptions of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, but the focus of the former is on the Heavenly Stem , the latter focuses on the earthly branches, this is the mentality of the ancient sages! !
On the surface, the Sixty Flower Jiazi composed of ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches is a way for ancient Chinese sages to record time. In fact, it is a further refinement of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory. For example, the ten heavenly stems, In fact, it is 10 natural numbers, but it is not just ten numbers, but it is given the life of yin and yang and the five elements.
In short, the Yin Yang and Five Elements theory is an epistemology, an epistemology of life, the world and the universe. It starts from a macro perspective and strives to further explain life, the world and the universe in more detail. It is not a methodology. It is not a theory of practice. The methodology and epistemology of traditional Chinese culture are relatively lagging behind. We should be clear about this. The methodology and practice of Western science should be said to be relatively advanced in development, but when it reaches a certain stage, it will go astray due to the exhaustion of epistemology. This is my personal opinion, and everyone can discuss it!
China’s Feng Shui theory is the study of space using the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. In fact, China’s Feng Shui theory is the world’s most advanced science and is not available in other countries and regions. The most glorious achievements accumulated by our ancient sages in the struggle for survival were unfortunately regarded by many ignorant people as superstition and unfairly criticized. In fact, those who shouted that Feng Shui was superstitious had no idea what Feng Shui was. You know, I have been studying Feng Shui for decades, and I feel that our ancestors are great and glorious. I hope you aspiring young people will not jump to conclusions easily! Study it yourself first and follow the teachings of great leaders: "If you want to know the taste of a pear, you have to taste it with your own mouth" and then draw conclusions.
If you major in astronomy and calendar, you should be aware of the great achievements of astronomical calculations in ancient my country. These achievements are not only in the category of epistemology, but have also entered the fields of methodology and practice. , so have you studied the ancient Chinese architectural treatise-Lu Ban Quanshu? Have you ever studied the creation of nature? Have you studied Jiuzhang arithmetic? It's a pity that I am getting old and no longer have the energy to dabble in these fields! I hope to give a comprehensive description of the entire process of the development of Chinese traditional culture, and see how our traditional culture lags behind the so-called science of the West
#Young people’s thoughts on learning Chinese traditional culture 4 #
I love calligraphy, not only its structure, but also its appearance and artistic conception. The evolution of oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions...these hieroglyphics is a kind of hope, the hope for the permanent inheritance of Chinese civilization; it is a kind of sustenance, a kind of sustenance, which expresses the Chinese people's love for the motherland; it is also a kind of spirit, a kind of excellence and positive attitude. Upward spirit.
I like their structure. I sometimes see cursive English and I really like it. The beautiful curves cleverly put together with pens are really amazing. However, these English words are always composed of letters. When you look at a word alone, you will only like it because of the beauty of its form, and will not think of the deeper artistic conception. But Chinese characters are different. When looking at old ancient texts, even if they have never come across them, they can still guess their meanings based on their artistic conception. It is a kind of artistic conception in Chinese characters, poetry in artistic conception, and landscape painting in poetry. Take a look at the word "一" written with a brush. If you look carefully at the "一" written by the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi, you will find the unusual beauty. Just a tap of the brush and a lift of the brush create such beautiful Chinese characters. Its structure is single. It is a simple horizontal line. Why does it give people a feeling that cannot be described in a thousand words? It seems impossible to fit it firmly into an adjective. This is Chinese calligraphy, and this is its powerful charm!
I also love their appearance and artistic conception. You see, those simple strokes are so elegant, delicate, and as majestic as "flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the sky." The simple Chinese characters are displayed vividly with the flexible strokes of the calligraphers, like a clear spring flowing down from the mountain stream, without any sloppiness. When I carefully appreciate this word with my eyes, I seem to be transported to a strange and beautiful place by this small word, with the general leisure of "walking to the waterless place, sitting and watching the clouds rise"; and "more pity for my hometown" The feeling of reluctance like "seeing off the boat after thousands of miles of water"; and the loneliness like "the solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river"... A small Chinese character has such a profound artistic conception. This is Chinese calligraphy, and this is the powerful charm of Chinese calligraphy!
The wind of modernization has washed away the dross, but it is also eroding the essence of Chinese culture. Friends, maybe you rarely write, let alone calligraphy with calligraphy. Maybe you often type on the keyboard with your hands and stare at the screen. You might as well look at the calligraphy of famous artists and copy it with your own hands. You will definitely "I will love Chinese characters again" and appreciate the charm of Chinese calligraphy. Let us pick up the dusty pen again and write the beautiful picture of Chinese civilization together!
In an antique teahouse, two young people wearing Wearing long gowns, they performed cross talk. Sometimes they laughed and cursed, sometimes lamented and wiped away tears. Their singing skills were very good, and the "laughing fruit" was obvious. Along with the refreshing fragrance of tea, the tea guests in the audience not only enriched their taste buds, but also were immersed in traditional culture. With... Such a scene will appear next to the Guanyi River in Hucheng Yishang Street District this Sunday. With the opening of this tea house with traditional performances, Huzhou people will have another cultural living room.
When I came to this place called "Baitan Tea House", I found that the overall design of the tea house follows the Chinese classical style, and the space design pays attention to "etiquette". The decorations of Chinese classical elements are fully reflected in the entire tea house, such as all tables and chairs. , benches are all made of traditional wooden custom-made furniture, with hollow carvings and small mahogany pieces. It feels like being in an elegant cultural atmosphere and feeling the elegant oriental charm. The eye-catching stage in the center of the teahouse caught our attention. A person in charge named Pan. According to reports, the teahouse arranges no less than 6 cultural and artistic performances every month. Except for special performances, the performances are all arranged in the evening, and each performance lasts about 1.5 hours to 2 hours. There are fixed 2 performances out of the 6 performances every month. It is a cross talk show, one performance is folk art magic, and the other three performances include Shanghai-style talk shows, stand-up history talks, Chinese folk songs, storytelling, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the performers are all of a high standard. Taking the cross talk special as an example, the "Hukou Laughter" team was invited, which is a local cross talk club that sprouted in Huzhou. It was formed by a group of Huzhou famous speakers and has been performing for two years. He has held more than 10 special crosstalk performances and performed more than 50 times, which have been widely praised by the audience.
In the interview, we learned that Huzhou people have always loved drinking tea. During the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years of the Qing Dynasty, teahouses in Huzhou were already very prosperous, and they were mostly located at the bridgeheads near the river, such as Hucheng. The area around Luotuo Bridge, Yifeng Bridge and Hualou Bridge was once a place where teahouses gathered. "In the past, teahouses often attracted customers by reading big books, etc. Now teahouses are given more business, leisure, and entertainment functions, but the cultural flavor is less." It was learned from the Management Committee of Yishang Street Historical and Cultural District that carries the old Huzhou people The Clothes Street of Memory, after its stunning debut after protective renovation, has become a good place for leisure for many citizens and tourists. At the same time, people are looking forward to the "revival" of Huzhou's old crafts such as charcoal painting, paper-cutting, wood carving, bamboo weaving, and barrel hoops, as well as traditional cultures such as cross talk and folk art in the old street. "On the one hand, traditional culture needs to gain new vitality and social recognition. On the other hand, Hucheng needs a teahouse that can represent the city's cultural business card. From this, the 'Baitan Teahouse' was born." It is reported that with the help of the teahouse's communication platform, traditional culture can be Being passed down is a new attempt by the Yishang Street Management Committee to strengthen the living culture of the old street.
We have learned that the performance team in the teahouse will closely follow the public's aesthetics and use innovative forms to perform traditional arts. At the same time, in line with the purpose of prospering the cultural life of Huzhou people, the ticket prices are also very close to the people. If you are interested, Citizens may wish to experience it.

If the main body of the economy is the creation of material wealth, and the main body of politics is the guarantee of fundamental interests, then the main body of culture is It is the cultivation of spiritual homeland. Culture is an important symbol of national continuity and an important guarantee of national quality and scientific and technological level; traditional culture is the identity and belonging of the nation. However, in a society where people's hearts are increasingly impetuous and utilitarian, culture has become a kind of luxury, which seems to be elusive and out of reach. Therefore, we should rebuild our cultural homeland, solve the problem of spiritual destination and sustenance, and guard the roots of national culture. This is a necessary requirement for the Chinese nation to realize the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation.
Cultural inheritance is the recognition of national culture, the sustenance of the spirit and the destination of the soul. A vast country with no epochs, the five thousand years of Chinese civilization have created a glorious history. In this twists and turns but never-ending cultural trend, we have incomparable traditional architecture, we have a traditional culture that we are proud of, and we have history books that cultivate one's moral character. We can visit the Forbidden City and see the magnificence of the royal family; climb the Great Wall and see the majesty surrounded by mountains; admire the gardens and taste the tenderness of the Jiangnan water towns; we can make dumplings and look forward to the reunion of the wanderers returning home; race dragon boats and reflect on the patriotism of Qu Yuan ; Planting dogwood trees to think about the safety of relatives and friends in foreign lands; we can recite Tang poems and praise the beauty of oblique tones; recite Song poems and lament the vastness of the country's rise and fall; read novels and reflect on the ups and downs of life and destiny... Wandering in the long river of Chinese culture, we never tire of it , lingering on. Only by inheriting the style of a great country, inheriting the greatness of a glorious civilization, and constantly absorbing nutrients from classics can we continue to radiate vitality and vitality.
Cultural nihility is the negation of national culture and the sorrow of an era of collapse of faith. The great writer Lu Xun once criticized the incorrect approach to culture in his article "Usageism". We are in an era of rapid change, an era full of dreams and confusion; an era that abandons traditions and roots, and blindly pursues "national nihilism" and "historical nihilism"; this is an era that worships foreigners. It is a good era to be foreign, and everything is foreign; this is an era that is cutting off its own spiritual blood and trying to dress itself up as a foreigner. This era in which nihilism is prevalent and lacks belief is affecting people's way of thinking and behavior. Therefore, you can understand the problems that arise in the postgraduate examination. Chinese culture emphasizes governing the country with virtue, educating people, emphasizing the idea of ??"benevolent people love others" and other ideas. These thoughts, both past and present, have distinct national characteristics. They are the bloodline that has nourished the Chinese nation for five thousand years. It is deeply integrated into the spiritual genes of every descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and has become the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation.
Cultural innovation is the internal driving force of cultural development and innovative development based on inheritance.
To carry out cultural innovation, we must be based on the excellent traditional culture of China, make good use of the living water at the source of this bay, and use its spiritual wealth to educate people with culture. To carry out cultural creativity, we must treat traditional culture with a scientific attitude. Adhere to the stance of historical materialism, use the past to make the present use the old and bring forth the new, reform the old and create new ones, treat them with discrimination, and inherit them with abandonment. We can neither favor the past over the present, nor favor the present over the past. To carry out cultural innovation, we must carefully sort out traditional cultural resources, carefully absorb their essence, explore their contemporary value, enhance cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, enhance the backbone and confidence of the Chinese people, and carry out cultural connotation and expression according to the development needs of the times. Transform and perfect it and activate its vitality.
"The spring breeze is blowing, it is time to set sail." The wheel of history is rolling forward. We cannot sit still and wait for death. We must treat it correctly with a more open, inclusive, inclusive, and useful attitude. The integration of foreign culture and traditional culture makes China's traditional culture always shine and carry forward among the nations of the world! Only what belongs to the nation belongs to the world. Preserving the roots of national culture is the responsibility and obligation of the youth of our era.
