Secondly, Laozi's history of Taoism is a useful supplement to Confucianism, and his outlook on life and communication most directly reflects the temperament of China people, especially among the secular masses, leaving an indelible mark.
Qu Yuan, the representative of China's elite culture, has influenced China's elite for thousands of years, but we have to sigh that there are too few "Qu Yuan" in China's modern history.
Fourthly, Mencius' contribution to culture is not as obvious as his political ideas, but his influence on intellectuals is still the core of China's cultural and moral system.
Five, Zhu Cheng, there are too many criticisms about Zhu Cheng, especially from the late Qing Dynasty to the May 4th Movement. However, Zhu Cheng's philosophy really influenced the Song, Ming, Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and played a very good role in regulating the moral system. Although there are too many negative effects, it is really necessary to advocate Zhu Chengde's Neo-Confucianism in modern life. We have gone too far in the pursuit of material things.
Sixth, Li Bai, no matter how compared, is the greatest poet in the history of China, and his romantic thoughts are unique among the slightly conservative China people. Facing the textual research of world cultural history, this is a rare pride of China people. It is a great banner of the prosperous Tang culture.
Seven, Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions is the most dazzling flower in China's novels. Its ideological connotation and profound cultural connotation are not inferior to any great works in the world, and its various aspects have not had a profound impact in modern life.
8. Stars of the May 4th Movement, cultural celebrities represented by Hu Shi and Lu Xun, especially the profound connotation of pursuing democracy and freedom, reflect the internal and spiritual modernization of China people and are actually the ancestors of modern culture in China.
Nine, Su Shi, I have to say, is underestimated. As a typical representative of Song Dynasty culture, his contribution and influence in all aspects of learning were deeply imprinted in the minds of China feudal intellectuals.
Ten, Mao Zedong, in addition to his modern poetry, the combination of other politics has also deeply influenced the cultural transformation of the masses in China and the transformation of intellectuals in modern China. He has deeply influenced two generations.
