The Necessity of Traditional Culture Education

The development of the times requires us to re-examine and reflect on our inherent traditional culture and strengthen the education of traditional culture. Through the education of traditional culture, our nation can gain self-confidence and self-esteem, further enhance cohesion and gain new life in the practice of rejuvenating China.

Keywords: traditional culture, solid cultural foundation

As a traditional culture that lasted for thousands of years, in modern times, with the hegemonic expansion of the West, it failed to transform in time and declined. Today, many of us are very unfamiliar with traditional culture. Our spirit has lost a sense of belonging, our moral concept is unbalanced, we have lost the concept of honor and disgrace that a person should have at least, and we have become slaves of money and material. Looking back and reflecting on history, we must re-examine and understand traditional culture and draw useful elements from it, so that we can revive the great cause of the Chinese nation.

First of all, we need to overcome a misunderstanding in our ideology-taking Marxist theory as the whole of our spiritual culture. It seems that with Marxist theory, our spiritual problems and belief problems will be solved; It seems that emphasizing the status of traditional culture will affect the status of Marxism. In essence, as a guiding theory, Marxist theory needs a series of foundations, including cultural foundation. When it cannot be effectively combined with culture, its role will be difficult to play, on the contrary, it will play a negative role. This has been proved by history. From another perspective, Marxist theory has been introduced into China for nearly a hundred years. As a theory of the western world, it has no deep popular foundation in China. It has become an advanced theory to guide China's revolution and construction, because it is rooted in the cultural soil of China like the predecessors who led China's revolution and construction, and has been creatively developed and produced. From the actual investigation of China's modern revolution and construction, Mao Zedong Thought rooted in traditional culture is effective. This is a Marxist theory with China characteristics. Later, why did Mao Zedong Thought's role in China's construction practice not fully show? It was because later people overemphasized the role of theory and weakened the role of traditional culture. Constantly criticizing traditional culture was the root of China's backwardness, trying to eliminate the influence of traditional culture from the Chinese concept. However, we say that traditional culture has accumulated in the psychology of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. In essence, when we try to eliminate it, it is traditional cultural psychology that plays a role. As a theory, its vitality has been weakened and dogmatism has been intensified, which eventually leads to the loss of the spirit of the Chinese nation. When the Chinese nation stands in the world with a new attitude, we urgently need to establish a cultural carrier that is the same as our nation. The task of history once again falls on traditional culture. After all, as the root of our nation, we have a sense of identity in our hearts.

First, attaching importance to the education of traditional culture and improving the traditional cultural accomplishment of the whole nation will easily restore our people and party member's confidence in their own culture and find new spiritual refuge, thus forming a high-spirited national spirit.

National culture is the soul of a nation, the lifeblood of its survival and development, the ideological premise of its self-esteem and self-confidence, and the ideological basis of its cohesion and vitality.

No matter where the people of a nation live, the national culture always affects her, just like her spiritual home. She will be happy because of the prosperity of national culture, but also worried because of the decline of national culture; Because she is in a foreign land, she will pay more attention to the inheritance of her national traditional culture.

In 1 century, Jews held two great uprisings against the rule of the Roman Empire. The result of the war was that the nation was slaughtered, the country was destroyed and plundered into slavery. Since then, a tragic history of global vagrancy in a big country has begun. In the process of wandering around the world, suffering has continued, especially through the genocidal movement of modern fascism. But this miserable country still survived. What sustains their nation?

With its unique culture, the Chinese nation has enabled Chinese civilization to continue for thousands of years without interruption; It is the cohesion and centripetal force of traditional culture that enables the Chinese nation to tide over the difficulties with perseverance and gain national independence and freedom.

The role of culture is undeniable. But we strongly denied it, which delayed our development. At present, culture plays an increasingly important role in the comprehensive national strength of every country. Paying attention to cultural development, especially the excavation and development of its own cultural resources, will inject lasting impetus into the future development of the country and the nation. This has been confirmed by practice. For example, in Japan, why did we successfully embark on the course of modernization after the Meiji Restoration? Why did we become the second largest economy in the world after decades of struggle after the defeat? We have a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and we should pay more attention to the excavation and development of traditional cultural resources, so that our traditional culture can reappear in the new historical period and show lasting courage.

The excavation and development of traditional culture should first be reflected in the construction of the ruling party itself and in the education and maintenance of its advanced nature. Let every party member wander in the ocean of traditional culture, and voluntarily devote himself to the transformation of his world outlook and the advanced education activities. If the ruling party doesn't pay attention to the development and utilization of its own traditional cultural resources, doesn't pay attention to drawing excellent things from traditional culture in theoretical construction, and even adopts a simplified approach to discard it as historical garbage as in the past, then as the ruling party, we may not be able to win the support of the general public psychologically, which may make our ruling party seem to lack foundation and its theory seem to lack vitality. Under such circumstances, we will not attract more people to participate in the great cause of rejuvenating China. As an organization, we will also lose our due appeal, cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Second, attaching importance to traditional cultural education and improving the traditional cultural literacy of the whole nation will help to provide a solid cultural foundation for consolidating our party's ruling position.

The advanced nature of theory needs the support of culture. If it can't be rooted in the theory of traditional culture, its advanced nature can't be fully reflected.

As an advanced theory, Marxism was introduced into China. If it cannot be effectively combined with China's traditional culture to form a new theoretical form-Mao Zedong Thought, there will be no success of the China Revolution. As Mao Zedong himself, on the one hand, he has profound knowledge of traditional culture, on the other hand, he is good at absorbing and introducing Marxism, making it blend into the soil of traditional culture in a vivid and popular way, and instilling it in people in a tangible and intangible form. It has influenced people and played a guiding and enlightening role in theory. Practice has proved that in order to make the theory play a lasting role, we must constantly enrich its connotation and draw nutrition from traditional culture, otherwise it will become dogmatic and formulaic, and its positive role will be invalid, but its negative role will become more and more serious.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially during the Cultural Revolution, why didn't Marxist theory play a full role in the construction, and even hindered the cause of socialist construction? We failed to treat traditional culture with a correct attitude, and the correct line established during the revolutionary period was not well implemented, which turned Marxism into a "castle in the air" and dogmatism, rather than a form that ordinary people like. Therefore, in the new historical period, our party attaches more importance to theory.

Deng Xiaoping Theory made us pay more attention to building socialism with China characteristics. Theory of Three Represents made us pay more attention to the Party's self-construction, build a well-off society in an all-round way, establish Scientific Outlook on Development and build a harmonious socialist society, which made our Party more mature in paying attention to its own construction and more determined in promoting the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Such a logical clue of theoretical development makes us see that as the ruling party, our party pays more attention to rooting its own construction in the soil of national culture, reviving national culture to promote the great rejuvenation of the nation, and gaining public opinion and rallying people's hearts with national culture. Hu Jintao's proposal of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" this year once again makes us realize that the lack of ethical spirit is essentially the lack of traditional culture. If people find their spiritual refuge through culture, then we don't need to return.

Thirdly, attaching importance to the education of traditional culture and improving the traditional cultural accomplishment of the whole nation will help to improve the practical ability of our cadres and the masses in party member.

Advanced theories are based on a solid cultural foundation. Similarly, the study and implementation of advanced theories requires each of us to have a certain cultural literacy, but not a certain cultural literacy. No matter how advanced the theory is, it may go out of shape in learning and implementation, and it cannot effectively grasp and implement the essence of its theory. This is a profound lesson for us to treat Marxist theory.

Dogmatism and bookishness are inevitable manifestations of the lack of basic cultural literacy. Why do you say that? Because the spirit contained in the theory is beyond the understanding of dogmatists and nerds, but we have to pretend to understand it. Formalism will prevail if you pretend to understand it and do what you are good at. This used to be the main reason for understanding and misinterpreting Marxist theory. Therefore, when we train cadres in theory and policy and educate them on their advanced nature, we should improve every cadre in party member.

The level of cultural literacy determines the practical working ability of each of our cadres and the masses in party member. Because practical work ability not only needs theoretical guidance, but also needs culture to provide corresponding thinking methods and cultural identity. Lack of basic cultural literacy not only affects our understanding of theory and policy, but also prevents us from having a cultural communication ability. Deal with the problem in a way that does not conform to the real cultural foundation, then the method you adopt will not be effective. Therefore, when our party treats ethnic work, it is on the premise of respecting the traditional customs of the nation, and it is on this premise that it effectively promotes ethnic unity and unity.

Mao Zedong once opposed a "one size fits all" approach in his work. To some extent, this "one size fits all" approach reflects the lack of basic cultural literacy. Without basic cultural literacy, it is impossible to carry out targeted work and adopt different methods according to different situations. Therefore, if you want to improve your working ability, you must improve your own cultural literacy while strengthening your theoretical literacy. Get the essence of national traditional culture from one's own cultural tradition, make advanced theories more deeply rooted in people's hearts because of the inherent culture, and make the inherent culture more vital because of the guidance of advanced theories.

In short, China's traditional culture, characterized by ethicalization, contains ethical principles for dealing with people everywhere. As long as we are good at digging, I believe that for every citizen and every party member, it will not only bring endless spiritual enjoyment, but also improve our understanding of theoretical and practical issues, thus promoting the development of our various undertakings.

Or:

Traditional culture refers to the part that preserves the culture created by predecessors and passes it on to future generations, which affects future generations. It includes both ancient culture and culture that has been recognized by society since modern times. It includes both local culture and foreign culture absorbed and digested. China's traditional culture has a long history and is profound. It is the main culture represented by Confucianism, which has merged the multi-ethnic cultures of China in the long historical years, and also contains Buddhist culture, Arabic culture and western cultural elements. After thousands of years of historical accumulation, it has been deeply rooted in the cultural and psychological structure of the Chinese nation and is in inseparable harmony with various cultural carriers, and is recognized by the public for its ideological connotation and outstanding wisdom beyond the times.

Traditional culture is not a cold and stiff mummy, but a living life. A country or a nation has its own unique culture, but it will not be isolated and ultimate. The characteristics and consistency of all mankind, as well as the * * * identity facing the basic survival problem, constitute the cultural value basis of human identity beyond the boundaries of region, culture and race. In modern times, with the deepening and extensive exchanges between ethnic groups, the value of different cultures has been increasingly recognized by people, and various cultural models have coexisted, which has led to the exchange, communication and collision between cultures and become an important trend of cultural development. Rational thinking on China's traditional culture under the background of world culture can tap the essence of traditional culture and find the combination of traditional culture and modern education, which is of far-reaching significance to the development of education and the cultivation of talents.

Culture has a strong inheritance, and modern civilization itself is a healthy continuation and extension of human traditional culture. The persistence of China's traditional culture shows us that the cultivation and growth of talents can not be separated from the nutrients of traditional culture. Everyone is immersed in traditional culture to varying degrees. Traditional culture plays an ever-present role in modern people, which cannot and should not be avoided. It is true that China's traditional culture is a complex organism composed of various components and factors, with both "essence" and "dross". More often, it is inseparable and cannot be completely separated. All-round affirmation or negation will have a negative impact, which makes criticism and inheritance the key to carry forward excellent cultural traditions and bring profound resources and huge space to education. Through the understanding, analysis and speculation of the traditional culture of the motherland, excellent traditional culture plays an active and irreplaceable role in youth education. First of all, the unique moral education mode of traditional culture can be used for reference. In a sense, China's traditional culture is an ethical culture, which emphasizes the orientation of ethical values, takes promoting good and restraining evil as the core, unifies truth, goodness and beauty, and aims at moral education. Traditional education believes that the process of "learning" should not only be familiar with classics, but also cultivate self-cultivation. This ethical value orientation has been deeply rooted in the minds of literati for thousands of years, and gradually formed a special way of thinking and emotion, accumulating into a unique national psychology and national spirit. It is embodied in "taking the world as one's responsibility" and "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". It is beneficial to national consolidation, social development and people's stability to restrain individualism, coordinate interpersonal relationships and curb the expansion of material desires. Some essences of China's traditional culture are not only rich in materialism and dialectics, but also establish a complete model of gradual progress, integration of internal and external, integration of knowledge and practice, and integration of morality and politics, which has strong binding force and operability and provides rich educational materials and specific models for moral education in middle schools. Secondly, the humanistic spirit in traditional culture has practical educational significance.

Perhaps the most valuable part of China's traditional culture is the emphasis on people's spirit and spirit, and the exploration of moral cultivation methods aimed at maintaining people's spirit and improving people's spirituality. As for the pursuit of harmony between man and nature in traditional culture, its potential humanistic value is more prominent in contemporary times. Humanistic spirit not only means discovering people's characteristics, strength and potential, but also means caring and caring for people's existence and situation. The former makes people confident and self-respecting, while the latter makes people rational. People should maintain the spiritual dimension necessary for human beings. Both kinds of consciousness are indispensable. Because of this, with the rapid development of science and technology and the increasing improvement of material living standards, faced with the global ecological crisis, moral imbalance, unprecedented challenges to ideals, beliefs and value systems, people of insight shouted loudly: strengthen and restore humanistic spirit, which highlighted the advantages of China's traditional culture.
