Mr. Qian Mu believes that culture is the spiritual soul of a nation and the foundation and pillar of a country or society. Culture not only represents a nation's historical tradition and cultural heritage, but also represents its spiritual outlook and development direction in contemporary society.
In Mr. Qian Mu's view, culture is historic, regional and national. The historicity of culture is embodied in the fact that it was formed under a specific historical background and is the inheritance and development of history. The regionality of culture shows that people in different regions have different lifestyles and cultural characteristics. The nationality of culture reflects a nation's unique cultural traditions and values.
Mr. Qian Mu also emphasized the importance and function of culture. In his view, culture is not only the basis for a nation to stand on its own feet among the nations of the world, but also the key for a nation to achieve self-development and progress. At the same time, culture can also promote social harmony, enhance social cohesion and promote social progress.
