Mr. Zhang Taiyan said: "The national normality is used in political affairs and daily affairs, and what is done is in industry and commerce." Traditional culture not only exists in the cultural heritage of the past, but also lives in the daily life of Chinese today. The daily living, living, sitting and lying of the Chinese all contain the essence of traditional culture. To carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, we should discover its beauty from the bits and pieces of daily life, and continue the spirit of traditional culture.
The "Cultural Heirloom Series", which aims to inherit the Chinese context, is a set of publications rooted in the daily life practice of Chinese. Four books have been published in the series, including Shen Guolin's "The Way of Yin and Yang: The Beauty of Chinese Calligraphy", Yue Qiang's "Incense Affair in the Year: The Solar Term Life of the Chinese", Zhong Yingyang's "Tai Chi Culture: The Way of Self-cultivation of the Chinese" and Zhao Wenyi's "Tianfeng Huanpei: The Classical Sound of China", which introduce the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture from the four aspects of calligraphy, incense, Tai Chi and folk music, ** their significance to the present, and explain the aesthetics of Chinese life.
As Professor Shen Guolin, the editor-in-chief of the book series, said in the general preface "Life, Life": "Learning Xi traditional culture is not just memorizing poems and reading the scriptures, but it is necessary to systematically learn and Xi and understand the way of thinking and observation that have been Chinese for thousands of years, and then understand and experience it through one's own practice, which is the true integration of knowledge and action to learn Xi traditional culture." Traditional culture can only have enduring vitality when it is combined with daily life." The Cultural Heirloom series pays great attention to the practicality of traditional cultural Xi. The authors of each book are scholars and teachers with many years of teaching experience in a certain field of traditional culture. Shen Guolin, the author of "The Way of Yin and Yang", has taught calligraphy courses at Fudan University for many years, Yue Qiang, the author of "Incense in the Years", is a trainer of incense culture courses, Zhong Yingyang, the author of "Taiji Culture", is the non-genetic inheritor of Yang's Taijiquan, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts for many years, and Zhao Wenyi, the author of "Tianfeng Huanpei", is a lecturer at the Art Education Center of Fudan University and a guqin player. As Xi and educators who have been in a traditional culture field for many years, they are very aware of the interests and needs of readers, so they write plainly, write vividly, and between the lines can capture the hearts of readers, so that people can unconsciously accept the baptism of excellent traditional culture.
Calligraphy, incense, tai chi and folk music, although they all start with techniques at the beginning, but in the end, they still need to enter the Tao with skills and see wisdom. Calligraphy is about the art of Chinese characters, the lines of the brush on the rice paper, containing black and white, lifting, length, back, urgency, rigidity and softness, virtual and real, a variety of opposites and unity of the relationship embodies the beauty of yin and yang. Incense, in harmony with the seasons, is harmonized with rituals, utensils, medicine, clothing, food and daily life, purifying the space inside and outside the body and mind, allowing people to appreciate the essence of "the unity of nature and man". The wisdom given by Tai Chi can not only help people understand their own physical and mental conditions, but also have a comprehensive insight into everything. ** is the poetic sound of the can, but also the poetry of the thinking of the music, both abstract and concrete, ancient China** is not only a means to maintain the society with ritual music, but also a medium to express emotions, participated in and witnessed the days and months again and again.
Chinese culture places people in the world of the family and the country, and opposes the view of people as isolated individuals. The practice of calligraphy, incense, tai chi, and ** can all be closely integrated with family life. The daily life of Chinese people is inseparable from "home", and the unit of "home" gives birth to the aesthetics of Chinese life. Chinese have a strong affection for "home" and "family". Home is the core unit of traditional culture. In family life, laying paper, burning incense and tasting tea, stroking the piano to reminisce about the past, and standing on the pile to practice boxing, it is a warm and comfortable picture. In the increasingly fast-paced present, Chinese need to return to family life to settle their souls, and the family is also the core unit of traditional Xi culture. The inheritance of culture is also passed on from generation to generation by family.
Chinese modernization is the modernization of an ancient civilization, not the modernization of an ancient civilizationIt is the modernization that grew out of the land of China, not the modernization of other countries;It is the result of the renewal of civilization, not the product of civilization rupture. Chinese living in modern civilization are on the road of Chinese-style modernization. At present, the lifestyle of Chinese people not only needs the nourishment of traditional culture, but also needs to root the essence of traditional culture into daily life, and only by allowing traditional culture to truly benefit everyone can the excellent traditional Chinese culture become a constituent element of modern Chinese's way of thinking, values and lifestyle, and open up a broader space for innovation and development.
Professor Wu Xiaoming, Director of the Editorial Board of the Cultural Heirloom Series, said: "Traditions have been constantly reconstructed and resurrected in the course of our historical development. Tradition is not just about the past, it is alive today and heralds the future. "The splendid Chinese civilization of more than 5,000 years has given us the foundation of self-confidence, and the best way to continue traditional culture is to carry out creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture, so as to create a new form of human civilization. May traditional culture continue to nourish our lives and lives, and may traditional culture be able to sustain our family and country and benefit the world.
