China traditional culture is valued by elites today, which has profound reasons of the times. The above examples remind Chinese people to think that blindly believing in western culture and copying western systems may not be the inevitable choice for future superpowers. The contemporary international environment is gradually polarized between the United States and China. The two countries have different national conditions, different cultural heritage, different ideologies and different systems. The 4-year history of China's rapid rise has also confirmed the rationality and strong vitality of Chinese culture.
First of all, we must realize a basic fact: for more than 3, years (since the Western Zhou Dynasty), Chinese culture has never been reduced to cultural lag, and the Chinese nation has a high degree of cultural self-esteem and cultural self-confidence. Up to today, with the rise of contemporary China, the advanced nature of Chinese culture has gained more and more respect from the world, as evidenced by the famous saying of Confucius "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" hanging in the United Nations Hall.
"Peace and development are still the two major themes of the world", which is still the law of the times today. Compared with the hegemonic culture in the west, the concepts of "benevolence", "harmony" and "modesty" advocated by Confucianism are undoubtedly superior to the western culture. They are obviously more moral and practical in slowing down conflicts between countries and promoting racial harmony, and the methods of handling state diplomacy extended by Confucianism are more and more. Besides Taoism, as far as China itself is concerned, the theories put forward by Taoism, such as "doing nothing will do anything", "the weak will prevail over the strong, and the soft will prevail over the strong", and "the husband will not argue, so the world can't compete with him", are undoubtedly the techniques we have adopted in the competition of great powers in the past few decades.
