Hello everyone,today I want to say something about Chinese traditional culture .
Do you know peking opera?
Peking Opera, China's \"national essence\old, enjoying high reputation both at home and abroad. It was form in Beijing. According to legend, in the region of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was interested in local drama. In 1790, to celebrate his 80th birthday, Qianlong gathered together various local theaters performing for him, of which four troupes from Anhui province stayed in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, a troupe of Hubei came to Beijing. Hereafter, these troupes often performed together, and the two groups gradually formed a new theatrical form, known as Peking Opera. It was popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Now it's the representative of the modern Chinese Han opera as well as a opera of world-class
Our Chinese nation, with its industriousness and wisdom, has created a long and over-lasting history and a rich and colorful culture.As a Chinese,we are supposed to understand the traditional culture and realize its importance.
First,what’s the Traditional Chinese Culture .Traditional Chinese Culture includes material and moral products of ancient Chinese people. The moral products involve Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Buddhism and social system. Material ones include historic and cultural relics, ancient architectures etc.No matter how broad Chinese culture is, the core of it is the moral.
Therefore.we can get an answer to another question.Why should we learn Chinese traditional culture,or we can say what’s the value of Chinese traditional culture.As the core of Chinese traditional culture is the moral, it can help us solve three major problems we are facing nowadays:problems of survival between man and nature;crisis of confidence between Man and society;Psychological problems exist in people ourselves.
For example,Confucius believed that Persuit of fortune is a general desire of human, but it most be limited by morality. People live for morality but not for fortune, and only in this way does life have value. If All the people in the society can realize this ,horse storm would not appear.
Through a long history of westernization and with the improvement of material wealth, Chinese traditional culture is neglected at any rate by people. At this turning point when China faces the cultural globalization, China should excavate its Traditional Chinese Culture to strengthen its competitive ability, especially its essences which can serve the construction of modern culture.
