Professor Peng Lin once profoundly pointed out that the development generally pursued by Chinese society is mainly focused on the material level, while ignoring the improvement of the individual's spiritual world and quality of life. This phenomenon, which he called "mass disorientation", triggered a deep reflection on the direction of social development.
China has a long and splendid traditional culture, which contains a wealth of wisdom and aesthetics. However, under the trend of globalization, many young people gradually imitate Western lifestyles and dress styles, leading to the neglect of local culture and the erosion of self-confidence.
Professor Peng Lin quoted Mr. Lu Xun's question: "If everything is copied from foreign things, where does our own confidence go?" "It's a heart-to-head question that calls for a re-examination of one's cultural identity and self-confidence.
In traditional culture, Professor Peng Lin particularly emphasized the importance of "rites". He believes that "etiquette" not only reflects the individual's cultivation and moral standards, but also is an important guarantee for maintaining the harmony of interpersonal relationships. In modern society, "etiquette" is an important way to demonstrate individual quality and respect for others.
Professor Peng Lin encouraged everyone to examine their own cultural orientation and attitude towards life in order to adapt to the development needs of contemporary society. He believes that the presence of "propriety" can be demonstrated through simple everyday behaviors, such as humility and smiling in public.
Professor Peng Lin's views are instructive for us to deal with the phenomenon of "mass disorientation". We should abandon impetuous material pursuits, seek a development path in line with China's national conditions, and achieve true sustainable development.
Returning to the traditional culture of "rites" is not only an effective solution to current social problems, but also provides an important reference for us to find a development path suitable for China's national conditions.
Therefore, we should deeply think about and practice Professor Peng Lin's views, and work together to build a society that is materially rich and spiritually rich.
Professor Peng Lin's thoughts enlighten us that development should not only stay at the material level, but should be comprehensively promoted, including the improvement of the individual's spiritual world and quality of life. In today's society, we are facing many challenges and opportunities, which require us to face them with a more open and inclusive mind.
Looking back at traditional Chinese culture, we can find that it contains profound wisdom and treasures of inheritance. Traditional etiquette is not only a code of conduct, but also a spiritual pursuit. By treating others with respect and humility, we are able to build harmonious relationships and create a warm social atmosphere.
Therefore, let us start from the bits and pieces of daily life and actively practice the "rites" in traditional culture, which is not only to improve our self-cultivation, but also to contribute to social harmony. Whether in public or private life, we can show our civility and morality through small behaviors.
At the same time, we must also strengthen cultural self-confidence, cherish and inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Only in the context of the combination of tradition and modernity, and the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, can we find a development path that suits our own national conditions and achieve true cultural self-improvement and national rejuvenation.
Let us work together to make the essence of traditional Chinese culture shine with new brilliance in contemporary times, and contribute our wisdom and strength to building a better and harmonious society. May each of us become the inheritor and promoter of traditional culture, play our part in contemporary society, and create a better future together.
