What is Gao's understanding of China's traditional culture?

China's traditional culture has left rich wealth for human beings during the five thousand years' development in China, which is a unique cultural heritage in the world. China's traditional culture has a long history and is profound. It includes Buddhist culture, Taoist culture, Muslim culture, Christian culture, Confucian culture, China national culture, philosophical culture, tea culture, wine culture, architectural garden culture, festival culture, China sex culture and China traditional Chinese medicine culture. It is a model of the overall concept, universal connection and comprehensive thinking mode of the East. It is a rich legacy handed down by our ancestors and has long been in the leading position in the world. It contains the way of thinking, values and codes of conduct. On the one hand, it has a strong historical and hereditary; On the other hand, it has vivid reality and variability. It affects the people of China all the time, and provides us with historical and realistic basis for creating a new culture. In today's era of reform and opening up, during the transition from traditional society to modern society, everyone has a rational choice of traditional culture. When people stand on the overpass at the turning point of civilization and re-examine this cultural world, there are both prospects for the future and nostalgia for the past; There are both joyful expectations and painful sacrifices, and the turning point of history always pays a price. In recent years, the upsurge of traditional culture in China has flourished. The basic elements of China traditional culture can be summarized as follows: first, the core of China traditional culture is the inner spiritual life form of China people, including values, aesthetic taste and thinking habits; Secondly, the content of China traditional culture is often expressed in the form of physical state, involving people's habits of food, clothing, housing and transportation and behavioral norms; Thirdly, China's traditional culture has independent characteristics formed in the long-term historical development of the Chinese nation, and this national culture has actually become an important part of multi-world culture. China's traditional culture takes ethics as the center and politics as the standard, that is, ethical and political culture. The ethical characteristics of China culture mainly come from the patriarchal clan system in ancient China. Different from other countries in the world, China entered the class society under the condition of incomplete disintegration of blood relationship. Families form clans, clans form clans, and clans form societies, thus forming countries. So the whole society has a strong sense of intimacy. China culture bred in the soil of patriarchal clan system has therefore taken on a strong ethical and cultural color, such as Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius, whose whole system is centered on ethics. China's ethical and political culture has a great influence on China. The positive aspect is to attach importance to human ethics, which is conducive to social harmony and stability and can cultivate people's moral consciousness. Strengthen moral cultivation, so that China has always been known as a country of etiquette; On the other hand, the negative aspects are mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, attaching importance to human relations and neglecting nature, so that China has long neglected the exploration and research of objective natural laws, and natural science has always been in a backward state of development; Second, it is impossible to achieve "equality before the law" in such a cultural soil; Third, the value of the group is higher than that of the individual. The position of individuals in families, clans and countries is extremely humble. Everything he says and does must conform to the will of the family and the country, and the absolute "obligation" of the group must be reflected everywhere. Otherwise, it will be an offense and rebellion. The Chinese nation has a long cultural tradition. Although there are feudal dross, there are also many essences. We should analyze China's traditional culture realistically, inherit the excellent heritage, and make it serve our modernization. I think the essence of traditional culture used in our economic construction today is: 1, the enterprising spirit of self-improvement. 2. the concept of justice and benefit. 3, the spirit of keeping promises, actions will be effective. 4. Seeking truth from facts.
