# Thoughts on Teenagers Learning China Traditional Culture 1#
Turning over the dusty history, we are moved by how many wise men care about the country and the people and how much precious spiritual wealth they left us. In today's impetuous society, isn't it worrying how many people have abandoned our excellent cultural traditions?
Not to mention the loss of material culture and traditional spiritual culture brought about by the demolition of old city walls in Beijing, some places are scrambling to regard ancient celebrities as ancestors and make a lot of money to create income, which is staggering. Ask: Who is defending the national culture?
Festivals are a cultural custom, and the significance of festivals mainly lies in promoting a culture and advocating a spirit. If holidays are arranged, the cultural value of festivals will be ignored, festivals will be buried in concentrated material consumption, and leisure activities attached to them will naturally become dull. Festivals can not only be regarded as consumption and leisure, but people should pay more attention to enjoying the nourishment of culture. Therefore, "Golden Week" can't be just "gold", so we forget "culture"!
Spring Festival is the knot of China culture. Spring Festival, an ancient lighthouse hanging on the national canopy, reflects contemporary social life with its unique and eternal light. This kind of light, bright and warm, from a full journey to a snowy night, and then to the rolling crowds in the Spring Festival travel rush craze, constitutes an eternal scenery in China from ancient times to the present in Spring Festival travel rush. Going home for the New Year is not only the gathering of relatives, but also the baptism of spirit and the renewal of ethical relations. The process of modernization can change people's lives, but it can't change the surging crowds returning home during the Spring Festival, and it can't change the homecoming of wanderers all over the world. This is China people's annual emotional release day, and we should strive to make the traditional Spring Festival full of vitality and warmth become the expectation of China people's daily life forever. Only in this way can we firmly hold our spiritual home in the tide of globalization and shine the glory of national culture in the diversity of culture.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is also one of the important traditional festivals in China. It is not only a festival for people to sacrifice and remember their ancestors, but also a link for the Chinese nation to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Tomb-Sweeping Day's activities of offering sacrifices to ancestors to sweep graves and remembering the merits and demerits of ancestors are deeply related to the profound ancestor worship and filial piety culture in China culture. This culture has been the pillar of social harmony and stability in China for thousands of years. Qingming is a seasonal ceremony for hiking, getting close to nature and urging new students.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China. The origin of the moon and celestial bodies and people's worship of the moon and celestial bodies combine the ancient autumn flavor and the desire for children, and contain the ideal of China's family reunion, sharing family affection and yearning for a better human relationship, which is of great significance in integrating and regulating social relations. Appreciating the moon is a good opportunity for dialogue and communication between man and nature, and also an effective way to realize the coordination of interpersonal relationships. In today's increasingly alienated people, the Mid-Autumn Festival still entrusts China people with the feeling of "reunion in Tian Yue, reunion between people and land". For today's China people, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is still an indispensable spiritual culture.
Some people say, "Only when the whole society has a cultural conscience can our culture have hope." Therefore, on the road of my growth, my unchanging original intention-the inheritance of traditional culture-has been with me and holding my hand, so my growth pace is more calm and firm!

Up and down for 5,000 years, China walked all the way, stepping on a profound cultural heritage. But today, when it comes to China's traditional etiquette, most people don't have a clear concept, and even the humanization of this traditional etiquette is out of date. Therefore, China's etiquette culture is suffering from unprecedented neglect and disdain.
However, the traditional etiquette culture of the Chinese nation is the crystallization of China people's practice of dealing with interpersonal relations for thousands of years, and it is the norm of interpersonal behavior.
Shi Yang and his classmate You Zuo went to the teacher's house to ask the correct answer. It was the middle of winter and it was freezing. When I came to the Cheng family, it happened that Mr. Wang was sitting on the side of the road meditating to recuperate. Shi Yang and his wife didn't dare to disturb the teacher, so they stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for Mr. Wang to wake up for a long time. When Cheng woke up, he found himself standing in the snow and saw her covered in snow from the window. It has snowed for more than a foot. Since then, the story of "Chengmen Sydney" has become a beautiful talk of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education forever.
Etiquette is self-discipline, being a citizen is a norm, and it is a respect for others. The ancients said, "If you don't learn etiquette, you won't stand.". Civilized etiquette is not only the embodiment of personal quality and education, but also the embodiment of personal morality and social morality.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huang Xiang was only nine years old. She knew how to respect the old, love the young and be filial to her parents. In the cold winter, warm your parents' quilts with your body, and then let your parents sleep peacefully; In hot summer, use a fan to cool parents and repel mosquitoes, and serve their parents to sleep peacefully. Huang Xiang Warm Seats is a traditional filial piety etiquette in China, honoring parents and starting from small things.
In the past century, due to various reasons, some excellent ethics have been destroyed to varying degrees. Nowadays, people have a stronger economic foundation for filial piety to the elderly than in the past, and their hearts are gone. Mention honor to parents, not powerless, but powerful and unintentional.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Huilong Kingdom in Xicheng was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Once, in order to show its friendship with the Tang Dynasty, Huilongguo sent messengers to see the king of the Tang Dynasty, the most precious of which was the white swan. On the way, the white swan doesn't want to fly away. The messenger only plucked a few goose feathers, but failed to catch the white swan. The messenger gave the goose feather to Emperor Taizong with trepidation. Tang Daizong didn't blame him, but felt that he was loyal and honest and didn't disgrace his mission. Since then, the story of "a thousand miles to send goose feathers, courtesy is light and affection is heavy" has spread.
China's traditional etiquette should be a way of life that embodies spiritual values. Inheriting and recording it can make our etiquette develop.
After all, traditional etiquette is the blood of China for thousands of years. If there is no blood connection, China can only be called a modern country, not China. China's traditional etiquette culture is profound enough to make Chinese and overseas people proud. It is an important cohesive force of the Chinese nation. Without it, China people will lose themselves. Without it, China would be an empty shell.
Throughout the development of ancient and modern countries, no nation in the world has denied its traditional etiquette, and no nation will think that its excellent traditional etiquette is outdated and harmful. China's traditional etiquette culture also followed. This is the responsibility of every Chinese son and daughter. Only in this way can we say loudly, "I'm from China!" "
# Thoughts on Teenagers' Learning China Traditional Culture 3#
I talked a lot about cultural relics and art in my essay Yun Lan. The fifth point I want to talk about today is China's traditional outlook on life, world and universe. This is actually an epistemological problem. Ancient Chinese sages solved this problem through simple induction and simple and ingenious classification in the long-term struggle for existence. This is China's theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Don't underestimate this theory! Although this theory has been circulated in China for thousands of years, it has been criticized in modern times. 1840 After the invasion of China by foreign powers, the Manchu government was corrupt and incompetent, which led to the backwardness of China. Many people blame this problem on China's traditional culture, and think that China's traditional culture has restricted the development of modern science, resulting in China being controlled by foreign powers. Personally, I think this is very one-sided and wrong. China's backwardness is by no means caused by culture. Take China's imperial examination system as an example. The imperial examination system in China feudal society, especially the eight-part essay, has long been notorious. Since the beginning of this century or the end of last century, it has been scolded. Until recent years, some people wrote articles about it in newspapers, which can be said to have been scolded for more than a century. However, the eight-part essay in Ming and Qing Dynasties lasted for 500 years, and all the intellectuals in China were trained by this 500-year education system.
Those celebrities, scholars and people with lofty ideals in the long historical era are still affirmed today. But what cultivates them is the decadent and empty eight-part essay education. How do you explain this? There are many places worth thinking about and learning in the imperial examination, which will not be discussed here for the time being. I think the reason why China has fallen behind in modern times lies in the incompetence of politicians in power. As long as we look at the ten emperors after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, we can clearly know that the Qing Dynasty began to accelerate its decline from Daoguang, and it was a big mistake in principle for Daoguang Emperor to let Xianfeng succeed. In fact, the ability and quality of Prince Gong is not better than that of Xianfeng. Xianfeng is an incompetent and dizzy monarch, not to mention that Empress Dowager Cixi is a housewife! However, this person is quick-thinking and has certain public relations skills. Wouldn't it be a joke if he could run a family and let him run a country? China has been in the hands of these stupid women and children for more than half a century. What good results can there be? ! Of course, we should also see that current events make heroes, not heroes make current events. We take the leadership of great leaders as an example. I think he could have made China better, and his ability and authority could have built China into a new China with democratic politics. But he was born in 1893 in the 22nd year of Guangxu. He himself had social influence and limitations, so he finally got into a fight, in the words of Comrade Ye Jianying.
What is the content of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements? Simple: Yin and Yang plus Jin Mu's five elements of fire, water and soil. The ancient sages in China were very wise. They observe the seemingly complex nature and human society. In fact, they are two opposite and unified categories. This is yin and yang, such as the sun and the moon, men and women, water and fire, courage and cowardice. Although this classification is simple, the accuracy of analyzing things is insufficient, so they put forward the theory of five elements. In the long-term observation of nature and things, the relationship between all things is summarized by Jin Mu's restraint of fire, water and earth. This method of outline guidance turns complexity into simplicity. The theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements describes the properties and states of everything in the world. It is a function of attribute and state, and it is a static description, while Zhouyi is a dynamic description of yin and yang, showing the process of yin and yang changes. Each of the 64 hexagrams explains the process of things changing. Here I made clear the relationship between the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and Zhouyi. The same numerology is a dynamic description of the changes of water, fire and soil in Jin Mu. Of course, it also includes the changing process of yin and yang, which is one thing, so we can call Zhouyi the dynamic of yin and yang and numerology the dynamic of five elements. In fact, Daoism and Da Liu Ren are both dynamic descriptions of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but the former focuses on heavenly stems and the latter focuses on earthly branches, which is the method of ancient sages! !
On the surface, the 60-flower Jiazi, which is composed of the ten-day trunk and the twelve-day branch, is a way for ancient sages in China to record time. In fact, it is a further refinement of the theory of yin-yang and five elements. For example, the ten-day stem is actually 10 natural numbers, but it is not just ten numbers, but gives him the life of yin, yang and five elements.
In short, the theory of yin-yang and five elements is an epistemology, an epistemology about life, the world and the universe. From a macro perspective, he tried to further explain life, the world and the universe in more detail. He is neither methodology nor pragmatism. We should be clear that the methodology and epistemology of China's traditional culture are relatively backward. It should be said that the methodology and practice of western science are relatively advanced, but at a certain stage, due to the exhaustion of epistemology, they will take a different path. This is my personal opinion, we can discuss it!
China's geomantic omen is geomantic omen, that is, the study of space by applying the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. In fact, China's geomantic theory is the first advanced science in the world, which is not available in other countries and regions. It is the most brilliant achievement accumulated by the ancient sages of China in struggle for existence. Unfortunately, it is regarded as superstition by many ignorant people and unfairly criticized. In fact, those who call Feng Shui superstition know nothing about Feng Shui. I have studied feng shui for decades and feel that our ancestors. Learn by yourself first, according to the instructions of the big leader: "If you want to know the taste of pears, you must taste them yourself", and then draw a conclusion.
If you major in astronomical calendar, you should know the great achievements of ancient astronomical calendar in China. These achievements are not only in the field of epistemology, but also in the field of methodology and practice. Have you studied China's ancient architectural monograph, The Complete Book of Lu Ban? Have you learned how to play with nature? Have you finished learning arithmetic in chapter nine? Unfortunately, I am too old to dabble in these fields! I hope to fully describe the whole process of the development of China's traditional culture and see how our traditional culture lags behind the so-called science in the West.

I love calligraphy, not only its structure, but also its appearance and artistic conception. The evolution of hieroglyphics such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions is a kind of hope and a hope for the permanent inheritance of Chinese civilization. It is a kind of sustenance, with the love of China people for the motherland; It is also a spirit, a spirit of Excellence and positive progress.
I like their structure. Sometimes I see the English of Hua Ti, and I like it very much. The beautiful lines skillfully pieced together with a pen are really amazing. However, these English words are always composed of letters. When you look at a single word, you will only like it because of its beautiful form, and you will not think of a deeper artistic conception. Chinese characters are different. Look at the previous ancient prose, even if you haven't touched it, you can guess its meaning according to its artistic conception. It is the artistic conception in Chinese characters, the poem in the artistic conception and the landscape painting in the poem. Look at the word "one" written with a brush. If you look closely at the word "one" written by Wang Xizhi, a "book sage", you will find that unusual beauty. With a stroke and a pen, such beautiful Chinese characters are created. Its structure is single, its structure is single, that is, a simple horizontal. Why does it give people a feeling that can't be described in thousands of words? It seems impossible to put it firmly on an adjective. This is China's calligraphy, and this is its powerful charm!
I also love their looks and artistic conception. You see, a few simple strokes are so elegant and delicate, as magnificent as "flying over the eaves and climbing over the walls, three thousands of feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days". Simple Chinese characters are vividly displayed in the calligrapher's flexible brushstrokes, like a clear spring flowing from a mountain stream, without any carelessness. When I carefully appreciate this word with my eyes, it seems that I have been taken to a strange and beautiful place by this small word, and I have the general leisure of "I will walk until the water stops me, and then sit and watch Yun Qi"; There is a general reluctance to "pity the hometown water and draw your boat three hundred miles"; There is also the general loneliness of "lonely smoke in the desert, the long river sets the yen" ... a small Chinese character, but it has such a profound artistic conception. This is China's calligraphy, and this is the powerful charm of China's calligraphy!
The wind of modernization has washed away the dross, but it is also eroding the essence of China culture. My friend, maybe you have rarely written, let alone written in China's calligraphy. Maybe you often knock on the backbone keyboard with your hands and stare at the screen. You might as well go to see famous calligraphy and copy it yourself. You will definitely fall in love with Chinese characters again and appreciate the charm of China's calligraphy. Let's pick up a dusty pen and write a beautiful picture of Chinese civilization together!
In an antique teahouse, two young people in robes performed a cross talk. Sometimes they laugh and scold, and sometimes they cry and cry. Their rap skills are excellent and their "laughter" is obvious. The fragrance of tea is refreshing, and the tea drinkers under the stage not only enrich the taste buds, but also are infiltrated by traditional culture ... This scene will appear at sunrise this week on the Guan Yi River in Hucheng Clothing District. With the opening of this teahouse with traditional performances, Huzhou people have another cultural living room.
When I came to this place called "White Sandalwood Teahouse", I found that the overall design of the teahouse followed the Chinese classical style, and the space design paid attention to "ritual system". The whole teahouse fully embodies the decoration of classical elements in China. For example, all tables, chairs and benches are custom-made furniture made of traditional wood, and small pieces of mahogany are hollowed out, which seems to be in a delicate cultural atmosphere and feel the elegant oriental charm. The center of the teahouse stands out. The stage attracted our attention. A person in charge surnamed Pan introduced that the teahouse arranges no less than six entertainment performances every month. Except for the special performance, the performance time is arranged in the evening, and each performance is about 1. Five to two hours. Of the 6 performances per month, 2 are fixed as crosstalk performances, and 1 is Quyi magic. The other three performances include Shanghai talk show, stand-up comedy, China folk songs and storytelling. It is worth mentioning that all artists have high standards. Taking the cross talk performance as an example, we invited the "Hukouxiao" team, a local cross talk club in Huzhou, which is composed of a group of famous Huzhou mouths. Over the past two years, more than 65,438+00 crosstalk performances have been held, and more than 50 individual performances have been well received by the audience.
According to the interview, Huzhou people always love to drink tea. During the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, the teahouses in Huzhou were very prosperous, and most of them were located at the bridgehead of the river, such as Camel Bridge, Yifeng Bridge and Hualou Bridge in Lake City. "In the past, teahouses often attracted customers by telling big books. Now the teahouse has been given more commercial, leisure and entertainment functions, but less cultural atmosphere. " According to the introduction of Shang Yi Street Historical and Cultural District Management Committee, Shang Yi Street, which bears the memory of the old Huzhou people, has become a good place for many citizens and tourists to relax after protective transformation and stunning appearance. At the same time, people are looking forward to the revival of Huzhou's old crafts such as charcoal painting, paper-cutting, wood carving, bamboo weaving and hoop barrel, as well as traditional culture such as cross talk and folk art in old streets. "On the one hand, traditional culture needs new vitality and social recognition, on the other hand, Lake City needs a teahouse that can represent the city's cultural card, and the' Baitan Teahouse' was born." It is reported that it is a new attempt to strengthen the living culture of the old street by means of the communication platform of the teahouse and inheriting the traditional culture.
We understand that the performance team of the teahouse will closely follow the public aesthetic and interpret traditional art in an innovative way. At the same time, in line with the theme of prospering the cultural life of Huzhou people, the fare is also very close to the people, and interested citizens may wish to feel it.

If the economic subject is the creation of material wealth and the political subject is the guarantee of fundamental interests, then the cultural subject is the cultivation of spiritual home. Culture is an important symbol of national continuity and an important guarantee of national quality and scientific and technological level; Traditional culture is the national identity and belonging. However, in a more impetuous and utilitarian society, culture has become a luxury, which seems to give people a feeling of being out of reach. Therefore, it is an inevitable requirement for the Chinese nation to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream to rebuild its cultural homeland, solve the problem of spiritual destination and sustenance, and keep the roots of national culture.
Cultural inheritance is the recognition of national culture, the spiritual sustenance and the destination of the soul. Great country, never dating, 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, has created a glorious history. In this tortuous but never-ending cultural trend, we have unparalleled traditional architecture, proud traditional culture and self-cultivation history books. We can visit the Forbidden City and see the grandeur of the royal family. Climb the Great Wall and see the magnificence surrounded by mountains; Enjoy the garden and taste the tenderness of Jiangnan water town; We can package jiaozi and look forward to the reunion of the wanderers; Dragon boat race, thinking about patriotism and Qu Yuan's feelings; Insert dogwood and miss the safety of relatives and friends in a foreign land; We can recite Tang poems and praise the beauty of flat and even rhymes; Recite Song Ci and lament the boundless rise and fall of the country; Reading novels and enjoying the ups and downs of life ... Wandering in the long river of Chinese culture, we never tire of it and linger. Inheriting the demeanor of a great country, inheriting the greatness of brilliant civilization, and constantly drawing nutrition from classics can continuously glow with opportunities and vitality.
Cultural nothingness is the negation of national culture and the sorrow of the collapse of faith. Lu Xun, a great writer, once criticized the incorrect practice of culture in the article "Takeism". We are in a rapidly changing era, which is full of dreams and confusion; This is an era of abandoning tradition and fundamentals and blindly pursuing "national nihilism" and "historical nihilism"; This is a good time to worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries. Everything is foreign. This is an era of cutting off one's spiritual blood and trying to dress up as a foreigner. This era of nihilism and lack of faith is affecting people's way of thinking and behavior. So we can understand the problems in the postgraduate entrance examination. China culture emphasizes the idea of governing the country by virtue and educating people, and emphasizes that "benevolent people love others". No matter in the past or now, these thoughts have their distinctive national characteristics. They are the endless blood that nourishes the Chinese nation for 5,000 years. They are deeply integrated into the spiritual genes of every Chinese descendant and become the unique spiritual symbols of the Chinese nation.
Cultural innovation is that internal motive force of cultural development and the innovative development on the basi of inheritance. To carry out cultural innovation, we must base ourselves on the excellent Chinese traditional culture, make good use of the flowing water at the source of this bay, and educate people with its spiritual wealth. To carry out cultural innovation, we should treat traditional culture scientifically. Adhere to the position of historical materialism, make the past serve the present, innovate, treat it differently, and discard the inheritance. We can neither cherish the past nor cherish the present. To carry out cultural innovation, we should carefully sort out traditional cultural resources, absorb their essence, explore their value in the times, enhance cultural consciousness and self-confidence, enhance the backbone and self-confidence of the Chinese nation, and transform and improve cultural connotations and expressions to activate their vitality according to the needs of the development of the times.
The wheel of history is rolling forward. We should take a more open, inclusive and eclectic attitude, correctly treat the integration of foreign culture and traditional culture, and let China's traditional culture shine forever among the nations of the world! Only what is national belongs to the world, and it is the responsibility and obligation of young people in our time to keep the roots of national culture.
