Chapter 406 Culture

Speaking of culture, people are naturally associated with knowledge, knowledge, cultivation, temperament, civilization, etc., because culture is the embodiment of the comprehensive quality of "people". Culture is an internal determinant, and civilization cultivation is an external manifestation of culture. Generally speaking, whether a person has culture is generally measured by whether he has knowledge and the amount of knowledge. However, because everyone has different knowledge and different areas and levels, it is difficult to have a unified standard. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink culture and give a new interpretation. It is for friends to refer to.

People have always been vague about culture. Especially since the reform and opening up, various cultures have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. As long as it is knowledge, no matter which field, level, or whether it is systemic, it is called culture. This general interpretation normalizes culture, thus making culture lose its focus, and it is difficult to attract people's attention.

In fact, things have a sequence, and of course there is a difference between primary and secondary. Just like the fruit, it must start with the seed; when it starts to grow, it starts from the root. Therefore, "seeds and roots" are the main ones. At the same time, the growth of seeds cannot be separated from the environment, so the environment is equally important. In this way, it will appear to be clear and organized. If you interpret culture in one size fits all, you will confuse phenomena with essence, confusing the order of the existence of things, which will lead to the inconsistency between primary and secondary, and the severity of the severity.

People can't help but ask: What is the real culture?

True culture is a comprehensive, systematic, and three-dimensional philosophical system. It combines fundamental issues in various fields such as the universe, the world, society, and life into a complete ideological system. It has transparency, integrity, systematicity, popularity, fusion, testability, universal guidance, etc., and can guide life and social practice in all aspects.

True culture can unify different ideas, gather scattered knowledge, and become a whole. Once ideas become a system, all knowledge can become a part of culture. Otherwise, it cannot be called culture.

True culture is a system, composed of multiple systems, and each system has its core, and these systems have its most basic core. For example, the visible cosmic system studied by humans, including the Earth system, the solar system, the Milky Way, extra-river galaxy, etc. If the solar system is used as a reference, the sun is the center, and other planets, including the earth, orbit the sun. If the Milky Way is used as a reference, the sun is not the center. Therefore, no matter how complex and huge the visible cosmic system studied by humans is only the outermost auxiliary system for the evolution of life.

From this we can see how important life positioning is. Life requires direction and goals, and social development also requires direction and goals. It is precisely true culture that can solve the problem of life positioning, so that people can distinguish between the primary and secondary, grasp the key points, and make the right choices. Otherwise, they will put the cart before the horse and move towards a vicious cycle. For example, if you focus on interests, you will lose yourself; if you focus on yourself, you will lose your "heart"; if you lose your mood, you will be unhappy. In the end, life will degenerate and degenerate. Once your life positioning is wrong, people will be limited. People will be lost, society will go to misunderstandings, and chaos and pain will be inevitable.

In the autumn of troubled times, culture is the foundation. If culture lacks the foundation and cannot reveal the essence and laws, there is no unified standard to refer to; they will speak and hold their own opinions, insist on each other, and even live and die. The emergence of a hundred schools of thought seems good, but in fact it is caused by the real loss of culture. Due to the lack of core ideas, various opinions cannot be unified, and various theories appear, causing a chaotic situation of thousands of people and faces. Only real culture can unify different ideas and different religions. Otherwise, there will be differences and oppositions.

Culture belongs to human inner cultivation and is the foundation of social civilization. The level of social civilization is expressed through customs and habits. From the level of social civilization and the customs and habits shown from this, the advantages and disadvantages of culture can be seen. Therefore, culture is the "soul" that runs through everything.

True culture can purify people's hearts and unite people's hearts; enable people to establish correct beliefs and make correct choices; true culture is the basis and guarantee for the country's strength and social stability. All social activities of mankind need the guidance of culture, and culture invisibly guides the direction of human progress. Only a correct and complete culture can guide life and social practice in all aspects and develop in a healthy and healthy direction. The role of culture is of great importance, so all dynasties have attached great importance to the role of culture.

Here it is necessary to re-understand the most controversial cultural event that took place in modern times: the Cultural Revolution. Because this huge revolution revolves around culture.

The central task of culture is to fundamentally break the old ideas, old culture, old customs and old habits that have influenced the nation for thousands of years. It is the "Four Olds" that make the Chinese people depressed and decadent, unwilling to make progress, indulge in depravity, etc., and fully demonstrate all kinds of bad habits; it has led to the Chinese nation becoming a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and being slaughtered by others. After the founding of New China, these four olds still corrupt people's hearts and influence social progress. The Cultural Revolution was to smash the feudal ethics that harmed people, and thus form various old customs and habits, purify people's body and mind from the bones, and purify social atmosphere.

However, at the beginning of the founding of New China, it was a waste of money and was in trouble. Many practical problems need to be faced and solved. We must not only develop production, solve and improve people's lives, but also solve social stability and national security. In particular, we must solve the problem of poison retention of old ideas and old cultures. If the influence of the four old poisons cannot be solved, if people's concepts cannot be changed, even if the living standards are improved, the people will not be happy and the society will not be stable. We may even go back and the results of the revolution will sooner or later be wasted. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a cultural change from the depths of the soul, fundamentally eradicate the poison and influence of traditional culture, correct the wrong concepts deep in people's thoughts, and thus change the old customs and old habits in the past.

To destroy the old, we need to establish a new one. Only when correct ideas and concepts are deeply rooted in people's hearts can we break the old concepts, form new customs and habits, fundamentally correct people's hearts, and improve social atmosphere. Therefore, while breaking the four old, we advocate the healthy concept of comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty, and establish the moral standards of five lectures, four beauties, three loves, and serving the people wholeheartedly. Arm our minds with a brand new culture, and then open up a brand new civilization, bring a new spiritual outlook to society, and bring true happiness to the people.

However, it is not easy to change. After all, habits have been formed for a long time, not overnight, and the influence of old culture has been over a thousand years, so it is difficult to change the so-called habits. The old saying goes: Old cats sleep in the room and stay for generations. The old ideas have long been deeply rooted and formed a strong inertia. The decadent traditional concepts and old customs and habits in the deep minds are still there. Although they are distorted and perverted, people take it for granted, think it is normal, and it is difficult to accept new ideas. The resistance faced by change can be imagined. Just like a train running at a high speed, it is unrealistic to make it turn around quickly.

However, the most poisoned are intellectuals. It is precisely the intellectuals who master the decaying ideas and culture, and will continue to spread this culture and poison more people. It is also intellectuals. The more knowledge they master, the greater the negative impact, so the more knowledge they are, the more reactionary it is. It is precisely because of this that intellectuals are called "Strange Lao Jiu" and have become the key target of attack.

Some people may ask: How harmful is the so-called "Four Olds"? It has made a great country arbitrarily bullied and slaughtered. What do we lack? It is so vulnerable. Is it resources, manpower and material resources, weapons and equipment, etc., not! What is really missing is: the national spirit that can unite people's hearts; the responsibility and responsibility to be the first in the world; the courage and courage to be brave; and the altruistic spirit of self-sacrifice to sacrifice oneself for others, etc. Why can't all these beautiful qualities be expressed? It is because the old traditional concept is causing trouble. There is an old saying: Those who know the times are heroes. What is knowledge of affairs? Isn't it the value of interests first? Therefore, there are so many people who forget their righteousness when they see profit, change their minds, and sell their country and seek honor. How profound and painful the bloody lessons are!

In addition, there are old ideas such as "unnecessary": "shocking the birds with guns, and "shocking the rafters that are first rotten first" and other old ideas that are still corroding people's hearts and influencing people's behavior. It makes people selfish and indifferent, timid and afraid of things; and they always want to get something for nothing, enjoy the fruits of their efforts, and try to enjoy the results of others' hard work, and even bloody sacrifice.

In order to defend the fruits of the victory of the Chinese revolution and to prevent the historical tragedy from happening again, a huge cultural change is imperative with a highly responsible attitude towards the Party and the people.

But at that time, the Chairman was old and there was not much time left for the Chairman. Moreover, cultural change was imminent, what should I do? Time was limited, and not many people could truly generate consensus, and they adopted excessive changes, which led to the unsatisfactory results of the change. So much so that the strong rebound later made traditional old ideas and trends come back and have a great momentum of restoration.

This great cultural change is to smash the old ideas and culture of reactionary, decay and declining. But now we rely on traditional culture and advocate the spread of excellent traditional culture. The key here is the word "excellent". We must not only spread excellent traditional culture, but also pay attention to eliminating the dross.

Traditional culture does have the essence and advantages, but it is far from enough, because the real essence still needs to be explored. Even if you want to explore, the possibility is extremely slim. Everyone knows that old culture has influenced the Chinese people for thousands of years, and inherent ideas have formed a strong inertia. When encountering problems, they will show them consciously or unconsciously; when thinking about problems, they will still think according to the old way of thinking, and after thinking about them, they still cannot escape the old thinking frame. It is not easy to dig. Even if the saints were born, they were not popular at that time. It was not until the saints passed away that their thoughts were gradually recognized by the world. Therefore, it is very difficult to break the traditional old concepts and thinking patterns.
