Dongqi Pavilion retains the roots of traditional culture in order to stimulate the soul of tradition

Sometimes, the word "culture" always sounds a little advanced, but that doesn't stop us from being a literate person in the slightest.

In fact, culture is not only a social phenomenon, but also a historical phenomenon. The accumulation of thousands of years of Chinese civilization has created a splendid unique culture, and the continuation of Chinese civilization is the process of continuous inheritance and development of traditional culture.

Chinese traditional culture is broad and profound, all-encompassing, and everyone can find the level they pay attention to.

The four quintessences - traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, Peking opera, calligraphy, not to mention, in terms of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, the cultural information contained in them is even more abundant, not to mention mahjong, sieves, pai gow and other secular things; Traditional customs are also part of the culture taking root.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other works of art, but also with the legendary and mysterious story color and ingenious production technology, at the same time, it is worth a lot of money, reflecting a higher level of culture.

Traditional culture is formed by the convergence of bits and pieces, and it has been inherited for a long time, which is the concrete embodiment of the vitality of traditional culture and the highlight of its value. It is the responsibility of every person who loves traditional culture to excavate, collect, understand and learn and try to pass it on.

The way to participate in traditional culture, to put it bluntly, those who have money can hold a money field, and those who don't have money can hold a personal field. Whether it's lively or insightful, or a smile, or a deep discussion, just participate in a way that suits you.

The great rejuvenation of the nation requires the rejuvenation of culture, and the rejuvenation of culture needs to be inherited and carried forward.

In recent years, the arguments such as "no New Year's flavor" and "lack of ritual in life" that have often been on the lips are probably due to problems with cultural inheritance. For the time being, no matter how the ancients celebrated the New Year and what sense of ritual they had in their daily lives, just from childhood to the present decades, the way of life has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sent warmth into Tusu, at least the firecracker ceremony that existed in the Great Song Dynasty has now been harmonized. The kowtow ceremony in the New Year's greetings has only been a few years, and it is basically about to disappear.

Eating a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watching an increasingly boring Spring Festival Gala, and the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil ceremony are becoming more and more tasteless. With the increasing indifference of self-restraint, how can there be any sense of ritual to speak of?

Rural areas are not bad, at least from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, there are still some fixed rituals every day, making dumplings, welcoming and sending ancestors, paying tribute, greeting the New Year, visiting relatives, these are fixed activities at a fixed time and starting, all of which have conventions and rules. These are all "New Year's flavors", which are the ritual sense of the New Year, and are part of the traditional life for thousands of years.

After the three pillars of traditional Chinese culture - Confucianism, Buddhism (Buddhism) and Taoism - were integrated and presented in the form of thought, writing, and language, the three schools gave birth to a unique Chinese culture in the dialectical relationship of opposition and unity.

However, there has been a fault in the inheritance of culture in history. Needless to say in the ancient period, there is already an obvious disconnect between the ideological level of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and later generations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ideological contention of a hundred schools of thought can be said to have created the most culturally creative era in the history of the Chinese nation, and the classic ideas we see today such as Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang are all from this period, which is still in the back of the Qin Shi Huang "book burning pit Confucianism" and the Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism" after these two periods of cultural destructiveness, leaving us with this today, if Qin Shi Huang and Dong Zhongshu were not so extreme, Today, I am afraid that we can hardly imagine how much more splendid culture can be preserved!

Therefore, "inheritance" is the "root" of traditional culture, and "development" is the "soul" of traditional culture. Only if the inheritance is good, the culture will not be broken, and the good development can make the traditional culture stay young forever.

What Dongqi Pavilion is trying to do is first of all about "inheritance". You first have to know what it's like, and then you can spend more time studying it and then you can develop it, which is a process.

However, it is not realistic for traditional culture to be systematized, it is broad and profound, and there is no law to follow in general, but it is ubiquitous and deeply rooted in your daily life.

Traditional culture is still mostly advanced and even somewhat obscure, but it is actually very interesting. If you can get involved first with the mentality of listening to stories and watching the excitement, in the process, if you accidentally grow knowledge and even cultivate interest, isn't it a beautiful thing to kill two birds with one stone? This is at least more tasteful than spending a lot of time on watching jokes and comedy dramas.
