The history of a nation's civilization is the history of its cultural development, and the complete destruction of national culture means the demise of a nation. The ancient people who created brilliant civilization in human history may still be alive, but their nation has disappeared with the disappearance of their traditional culture. As the only ancient civilization in the world that has been passed down for 5,000 years, China's destruction of its culture is a great crime.
"Pangu created heaven and earth", "Nu Wa created man", "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs" and "Cangjie created characters", which laid the foundation of myth and culture. "Man governs the earth, the earth governs the sky, the heaven pipeline and the Tao governs the nature", and the Taoist thought of harmony between man and nature is integrated into the blood of culture. "The way of university lies in Mingde." More than 2000 years ago, Confucius established a library to teach students and spread Confucianism represented by "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" to the society. In the first century A.D., Buddhism and Buddhism spread to the east, and Chinese culture became more profound. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism reflected each other, which made the prosperous Tang Dynasty achieve brilliant achievements that attracted worldwide attention.
Although the Chinese nation has been invaded and attacked many times in history, its traditional culture has always shown great integration and vitality, and its essence has been passed down from generation to generation. "the unity of heaven and man" represents the world view of our ancestors; "Good and evil are rewarded" is social common sense; "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is the minimum virtue of being a man; "Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness" are the principles of life in the world; "Benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith" have become the moral basis for regulating people and society. On this premise, China culture embodies the advantages of honesty (reality), kindness (kindness), harmony (emphasis) and tolerance. The tablet "Heaven and Earth Master" reflects the deep-rooted cultural connotation of people's respect for God (heaven and earth), loyalty to the country (monarch), family (relatives) and teachers' morality. China traditional culture pursues the harmony between man and nature, attaches importance to personal cultivation, and is based on the cultivation belief of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which can tolerate, develop and safeguard human morality and make people have positive beliefs.
Different from the rigid constraints of law, cultural constraints are flexible. The law emphasizes the punishment after committing a crime, while culture plays a role in preventing crime for the cultivation of morality. The ethical values of a society are often reflected through culture.
