The Symbols of Chinese Culture (中国文化标志)

The Symbols of Chinese Culture
A: Nowadays world likes a rising wind and scudding clouds, coexisting opportunities and challenges. The cultural economy is especially important for certain country's economy. Throughout the history of world economy development, we can find that the more developed countries, the more prosperity cultural economy. In the economic globalization today, many people think the monopoly enterprises abroad is more economic aggression, rather than cultural aggression. Therefore it is extremely necessary for us to understand the distinction between our own culture and foreign culture. So today we'll discuss what is the symbol of China's cultural.
B: China has lots of excellent traditional culture, but with the founding of the reform and opening-up policy and the rapid development of our economy, the primitive accumulation of capital and the rapid expansion of wealth makes nowaday people becoming more and more greedy, many precious culture are becoming more and more desalination, or even vanished. For example, in the stage of China being not rich, people think that themselves may not have many property, it would not be very keen to pursue money. Once someone around us makes great fortune overnight, and we also have the same opportunities, we became the same crazy. When international cultures specially the western cultures inflow into Chinese cultural, our culture becomes lost characteristics and lights.
C: What you say may be reasonable, but like Chinese proverb says,"Every man has his faults(人无完人，金无足赤)."And every coin has two sides. In internationalization world, China is becoming wider and more tolerant. What Chinese official's contribution in the world economic recovery can show it. Also in 2003, the Chinese offer love to the people who suffered the Indonesia tsunami disaster as we can. Back to the 2008 Olympic Games, it is enough to make each Chinese great joy. Last August 8 is witness of China's strong and glory. Millions of Chinese descendants(中国后裔) be encouraged. Chinese people are very kindly and friendly. In the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games the Dancing "He(和)" word left us with a deep impression. So, in my view, the symbols of China is "He" culture.
D: What is the "He" culture? It is unfamiliar to me. Chinese culture is of long standing. Such as the Tea Culture, the Procelain Culture which is standed by Jingdezhen Porcelain and Peking Opera famous as the quintessence of Chinese culture, etc.
A: Talk about the Chinese cultural symbol, what first coming into my mind is Confucian culture of the Pring and Autumn and Warring States period(春秋战国时期) and Chinese truly modest and prudent(谦虚谨慎的品质). As everyone knows, the world is very fond of and appreciate Confucianism. Perhaps you think I were kidding, we can explain it from several aspects:Chinese Culture, Chinese HanFu Culture and Chinese
Heat. Of course people may ask: is Chinese Culture equal to Confucian Culture? Actually the Han Culture was based on Confucian Culture and became more advanced. Long long ago, it can dating back to more than 2,000 years ago, the han dynasty, when ruled with a fashionable slogan "rejection of various philosophical, Confucian school". The emperor made the country so strong that no enemy could beat it. In that period of prosperity, year after year, it gradually formed the Han Culture just as nowadays'.
B: In the eyes of many people, Confucian Culture is out of date. For example, the requirements of Confucianism for women is very demanding. It called family ethics. But he women also hold up the half of sky in modern society. If marriage is unhappy or family is misfortune, they would divorced and seek their new life and marriage. As you say, the "He" Culture is the representative of China's culture, therefore when foreigners put us to shame(羞辱), then we can not resist or even be smiling?
C: Your understanding is not exactly. It is the extreme views. Geting along well with people unequal to lossing of self-esteem and also does not mean we are weak. The biggest difference between European or American and Chinese is the former make a showy display, while the latter does things very calm and thoughtful. So kindly and friendly is a state of mind, not blundering. Once a person calm down, can put all
things well and conquer all. Further, each kind of historical culture or spirit are not deep standstill instead they will be varying as environmental changing. Like a tree, when environment change they will first of all adjust to it then absorb nutrients to grow and become more flourishing. D: In that case, "He" culture as a Chinese cultural symbol is reasonable. Chinese excellent culture involved many factors, whoever is not easy to describe. This influence formed the habit of thinking and behavior of the Chinese people, etc. Previously, our ancestors invented the four great inventions--the compass, printing, gunpowder and paper-making technique. Once there was a joke: Chinese manufacturing with gunpowder into firecracker(鞭炮) while foreigners use the gunpowder which invented by Chinese into making bullet then come to fight against the Chinese . Of course, this is just a joke, but we can understand like this : Chinese are kind. Everyone knows that anyone who want to get the finally and greatest success in a complex environment just rely on our own power is not enough, we must cooperate with others. Just like a straw is very easy to twist off, but if we put together a collection of straw, it would be difficult to part it.
A: Yes, it is. Each kind of culture has advantages and disadvantages. So it should continue to exchange and develop.
B: So the "He" Culture is the product of history. But modern China is facing the dashing of foreigns culture under communicating with many
cultures, we need to deepen the cultural of traditional festival. Take the example of my own, my feeling of the Spring Festival is weaken into more and more faint. Instead, we can find when some western holidays coming, many people through phone messages express themselves blessing to others in these holidays.
C: Certainly. We can accept the abroad culture, but with the major premise which is paying more attention to Chinese traditional festivals. D: Culture is a kind of very interesting things, gathering all of our behavior named culture and then the culture affects our deeds and words around.。
