The treasure in today's national treasure is the seed left by predecessors. In that era of poverty and weakness, seeds could not take root without water, but people passed it on from generation to generation and defended it to the death. Of course, when we were beaten and starved in the late Qing Dynasty, there was no TV program to promote "China culture", but then people stopped pursuing culture? Those who have priceless porcelain, Chinese painting and jade carving have been down and out all their lives, leaving the seeds of culture in their hearts and passing them on to the next generation.
So today, when we don't have to guard the antiquities of the previous generation, but have enough material resources to enjoy, the seeds germinate. For a time, TV programs, movies, street art; Advocates and pursuers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
What people don't notice is that when these cultural relics change and shake our cultural outlook, our culture is also giving these seeds new genes.
Which generation and dynasty invited the stars to explain the promotion of culture? Dare to ask, is there a group of people who spend money and time just to promote cultural relics and culture? In the industrial age, a brand-new civilization based on material richness has carried out a "gene exchange" across time and space with the previous generation of civilization and the previous generation of material heritage as the link. So we gave birth to a new material "heritage"-image. A hundred years later, what kind of civilization collision will happen when human beings simultaneously pick up the explanation videos about it in the Qingming Festival Riverside Map and National Treasure programs? What kind of civilization fruit will this collision bear? What kind of seeds and genes should there be in this fruit?
It is this round of samsara and interaction that makes civilization and matter inseparable and intertwined.
I couldn't help laughing when I saw the national treasure. This is the value of our civilization: we pick up the seeds of our predecessors, water them with our own civilization, and give them new meaning and genes. When we left, we saved this program on a USB flash drive and solemnly gave it to future generations, telling them to choose a good day to plant it. ...
This is probably the cultural value of the ancients and newcomers!
May the fire of reincarnation never go out. ...

Thousands of years of ancient civilization can be handed down, not only the material achievements of life, but also the wisdom of people. In other words: the level of education determines the material standard of living. In addition to the era of food and clothing, the prosperity of every century is bound to be accompanied by the development of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, describing troubled times was called the collapse of rites and music. This just shows that life needs not only applicable material, but also spiritual pursuit. If you don't explore the value of spirit, you will become a puppet who only pursues material things. With the rapid development of today's society, people's pace of life has also accelerated, and there is no time to pay attention to spiritual life. The colorful world contained in every book, the beautiful sunset glow at dusk every day, the graceful flowers and the admiration of every song have failed to keep the people who are walking in a hurry. Stop, have a look, enjoy a reward and ask, what else is there in life besides academic pursuit? Mr. Lu Xun should have given the answer to this question. Lu Xun made great achievements in studying medicine in his early years and won the affirmation of Mr. Fujino. But seeing that China people were insensitive to the death of people of the same ethnic group, he decided to give up medicine and join the army to save the decline of the nation with a pen. Drugs can only paralyze the nerves, but Lu Xun's articles can awaken the national spirit and make China no longer devastated. This is the strength of spirit and a higher realm of culture.
A person living in the world is a process of constant thinking and choice. Materially: it is easier to choose what to eat, drink and wear; Mentally: learn what? Do what? Why are you doing this? It is not easy. In our busy life, we are full of idolization, comparison and ridicule, so we are content with the status quo and don't pursue higher goals. The standard to measure a person's quality of life is not money status, but civilization accomplishment. Tao Qian sat alone under the moon, drinking tea from flowers, thinking all night, leaving a message: Don't bend over for five buckets of rice. What a noble and upright spirit this is. If it weren't for his lofty spiritual realm, there would be no literary giant of this generation, but now he is just a small Peng. Material has not become a stumbling block to Tao Qian, but it was the thinking and wise choice that made the word "Return to Xi" come true.
If A has an apple, B has an apple, and AB has an apple after the exchange. But if A has an idea and B has an idea, after the exchange, AB has two ideas. Thus, the difference between matter and spirit lies in: matter1*1=1; Mentally 1* 1=2. In the declining Qing dynasty, the country was closed to the outside world, thinking that self-sufficiency could lead to peace of mind, but it was not. Without contact with foreign countries, the sustained small-scale peasant economy has left China, which is known as a big country, far behind the foreign countries that completed the industrial revolution. Without material communication, life will not be greatly affected, and without spiritual discussion, thinking will not evolve. If life lacks cultural progress, then development will be slow and backwardness will be inevitable. Not only in ancient times, but also in today's society. Whether a nation can make great achievements in culture depends on the overall level of spiritual life in the final analysis.
A wise man will regard matter and spirit as equally important, and matter without spirit is confused. While pursuing utility, we might as well promote the cultural realm and bring more hope to the development of China culture.

In an increasingly materialistic society, there are countless phenomena in which people value material over spirit. I can't help asking: How many people can treat material and spirit equally and find a balance between them? Just like the vole who collects sunlight, colors and words in the material, it pays attention to the richness of the spiritual level, but ignores the material level-to live or to live, to eat. Different from the second time, other voles can realize the importance of material spirit. The fly in the ointment is that they only think that matter is more important than spirit.
In philosophy, matter is the cornerstone of human existence and development. Generally speaking, you have to live first, and life needs material support. Guan Zhong said that the granary knows etiquette, and when you are full and warm, you will know honor and disgrace. The rationality of this sentence lies in revealing the importance of material things, but please look at how many areas in China are still bound by poverty. These people do not have enough to eat, and the simplest and most basic material life cannot be effectively guaranteed. How can we expect those children to become the flowers of the motherland and the pillars of society? Some time ago, the incident of mountain children eating wild vegetables exposed by major media was a bit exaggerated, but it reflected similar social problems.
But for modern humans, it is far from enough to rely on material support. As the saying goes, doing nothing all day will make you sick. People are thinking reeds. It is true that people living in this world have to face all kinds of choices or difficulties, and these choices and difficulties are far from enough to rely solely on materials. This requires us to read books, enjoy the scenery, experience in distant places, and do everything that is beneficial to support our spiritual life.
Throughout today's society, "local tyrants" seem to dominate the world. They are overbearing, with deep pockets and footprints all over the world. They look for all opportunities to get rich, but they seldom care about spiritual life. For them, money can buy delicious food and entertainment facilities, but it can't buy the wisdom and understanding of the meaning of life in the book.
A proverb in the Bible says: Hard-working ants can bring sunshine for a rainy day, but lazy people are always so lazy that even small ants are not as good as them. Ants are not as smart as people, but they know the importance of matter, and those lazy people often don't pay attention to essential matter, only know to eat, drink and be merry, not to mention the spirit.
I think people should give consideration to both material and spiritual, and be impartial. At this point, life will not be wasted in mediocrity.
