We must adhere to the guidance of historical materialism, dialectical materialism and Deng Xiaoping Theory, adhere to the dichotomy, and treat China traditional culture scientifically, rigorously and cautiously. The culture of any nation is bound to have positive and negative factors, both advantages and disadvantages. China's traditional culture has gone through thousands of years. The unique social and historical conditions, such as a long history and a closed social environment, make China's traditional culture even more unique: without positive factors and motivation to move forward, it can't continue to this day with extremely strong vitality after experiencing numerous internal and external troubles; If there were no negative and backward factors in China's traditional culture and no drag of stagnation and backwardness, it would be impossible for modern China to wander behind the rapidly rising western world in technology, culture and economy. Therefore, it is dangerous to forget our ancestors and completely deny the national nihilism of traditional culture; All-round affirmation, blind arrogance and self-pity are equally harmful. Only by adhering to historical materialism

Using the standpoint, viewpoint and method of Marxism and dialectical materialism, we can examine, analyze and identify traditional culture realistically, inherit and develop its excellent elements, and reject and abandon its backward elements, which can make China traditional culture gain new vitality and become a powerful driving force to promote the modernization process.

We should master the basic methods to distinguish the essence and dross of China traditional culture and improve our insight.

First of all, we should adhere to the historical viewpoint, look at China traditional culture from a historical perspective and evaluate historical figures. Because all traditional cultures are the products of history, even the best inheritance will inevitably have historical imprint and limitations. In view of this, we should respect history, seek truth from facts, and neither praise the past nor the present; Only by respecting the dialectical development of history can we correctly understand traditional culture, instead of judging traditional culture by subjective and one-sided standards and treating traditional culture as an outdated and untimely historical burden.

Second, we should look at traditional culture from a modern point of time, and combine historical and modern views. Only by doing this well can we make an objective and scientific evaluation and choice of traditional culture. Carrying forward excellent traditional culture is not mechanical retro, and inheriting excellent cultural heritage is not blind copying, but it must be absorbed, transformed, innovated and developed reasonably according to the needs of the knowledge economy era in the new century. Therefore, we can't cling to the past, but we must look at traditional culture from a modern perspective and insist on making the past serve the present.

Third, we should truly grasp and deeply understand the essential content of traditional culture, rather than just browsing its external characteristics.

Facing the world, we should absorb all the outstanding cultural achievements created by human beings, overcome the negative factors in China's traditional culture and make up for the deficiency of China's traditional culture. Cai Yuanpei once said: "The most important responsibility of educators is to create culture, which often leads to several times of cultural contact." China's reform and opening up is precisely the era when many cultures meet, collide, activate and merge, which gives China culture the opportunity to absorb excellent western cultures. The creation and development of China's new culture in the 2 1 century also need the intense intersection, collision and integration of this multi-culture. China culture is also changing, constantly absorbing, constantly changing and updating, and the charm of China culture lies in creation. We young people should learn the essence of China culture, absorb foreign culture at the same time, and then melt into a furnace to create your own new culture!

In the new era, China traditional culture should seek innovation and development in the integration with moral construction. The fundamental way of cultural innovation lies in social practice. Therefore, we should base ourselves on the practice of developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, keep pace with the times, give full play to the main role of the people in cultural creation, and vigorously promote the innovative development of national culture.
