Chinese culture spans five thousand years, with a long history and profound heritage. In the vast history, Chinese traditional culture has shown its unique charm, which has amazed the world and made people proud of it! However, as time goes by and times change, with the blending and collision of Eastern and Western cultures, Chinese traditional culture seems to be forgotten in dusty corners. We have to admit that this is an era of cultural excitement. The "Korean Wave" is coming and is unstoppable. Western culture continues to "land on the beach." Multiculturalism makes China more and more international and fashionable and avant-garde. Internationalization is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings China closer to the world. On the other hand, internationalization also brings about the loss of traditional culture. How terrible this is! Without a unique national culture, it is bound to be impossible to stand among the nations of the world and win the respect of the world!
Sentence 2: The long-standing, extensive and profound Chinese national culture is like a dazzling constellation, shining for five thousand years. Many of its essences have been passed down from generation to generation, and their value lasts forever. This is what we call the classics of Chinese culture. It is the crystallization of wisdom of ancient culture and the basic root of the formation of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit. It is also a treasure that we should pass on from generation to generation.
Sentence 3 Zhuangzi said: "The great beauty of heaven and earth cannot be described." Chinese studies originate from heaven and earth, from Fuxi looking up to the sky and leaning down to the earth to understand the Book of Changes, to Qu Yuan wandering around the world and learning the Nine Songs, and then to the bamboo forest. The seven sages lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and had access to the three mysteries. The ancient masters, if they wanted to gain anything, always interacted with the heaven and the earth. Therefore I say: Chinese studies also have great beauty. The great beauty of Chinese culture lies in the realm, the beauty in morality, the beauty in words, the beauty in compassion, and the beauty in lightness. Understand the realm first. The beauty of Confucius is like a gentle and warm spring breeze, the beauty of Mencius is like a warm and strong summer rain, the beauty of Zhuangzi is like an autumn leaf, indifferent and distant, and the beauty of Laozi is like a winter snow, crystal clear and broad.
The fourth sentence first talks about the charm of folk customs in traditional culture. This is a level of practice that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years and is accepted by the general public. Including festival customs, wedding and funeral customs, clothing customs, etc. Today, wedding and funeral customs and clothing customs have changed with the changes of the times. This is also the law of changes in things. Festival customs include the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival, setting off firecrackers at temple fairs to pay New Year greetings, etc.; the custom of the Lantern Festival, the dragon raising its head on the second day of February, tomb sweeping on the Qingming Festival, making rice dumplings and dragon boat racing on the Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day customs, enjoying the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Double Ninth Festival It is customary to drink mixed rice porridge during Laba. Among these customs, in addition to how to celebrate the festival and what to eat, of course there are also elements such as respecting the elderly, paying attention to the love of family, relatives and friends, remembering the saints, and appreciating the harmony and beauty of nature. Instead of celebrating the Spring Festival, let’s make dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s eat rice dumplings, and on the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s give out mooncakes. This is not a culture that is superficial enough to eat.
