Because Chinese traditional culture has played a positive role in regulating the political order of traditional society, maintaining the concept of filial piety in families, and cultivating individual value orientations.

First, traditional culture helps consolidate social stability. Traditional culture is an agricultural civilization formed on the basis of agricultural production. It constructs an ethical code based on filial piety, a political structure that is homogeneous with family and country, and a cognitive way that does not distinguish between things and myself.

Second, traditional culture contributes to the formation of family-centered ethical concepts. Traditional society is based on blood relationships. Compared with public society, it is a collection of fixed blood and kinship relationships centered on productive labor. It is a society of acquaintances. Therefore, traditional society pays attention to interpersonal connections and family affiliation, and constructs a "filial piety-based" family relationship model.

Thirdly, traditional culture helps to cultivate an individual value orientation centered on "morality". In the family-based social cognition, traditional culture focuses on the formation and cultivation of human morality. The Analects of Confucius opens with "It is not a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time." Among them, "learning" and "learning" refer to the cultivation and practice of virtue.

On the whole, the great value and practical significance of traditional culture in today's era are mainly reflected in three aspects.

First of all, traditional culture is the ideological foundation and spiritual guarantee for realizing socialist modernization. Modernization is not Westernization and has no fixed model. However, the modernization of any country cannot be separated from the traditional culture of its own nation, otherwise modernization will become water without a source and a tree without roots.

Secondly, the national spirit nurtured by traditional culture is the value bond that unites the people of all ethnic groups in the country. The inclusive and well-integrated traditional culture is the unique spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. It can unite the strength of all fields of society, stimulate the sense of belonging, identity and enterprising spirit of members of all ethnic groups, and form the cohesion and creativity to promote social development.

Finally, the ideological wisdom of traditional culture can provide useful help for the development of today's society. Traditional Chinese culture is the identity of the Chinese nation and the cultural symbol for the Chinese people to maintain their ethnic identity and spiritual unity.

In the context of economic globalization, political multipolarization, and cultural diversity, we must not only maintain our national cultural background and defend our national spiritual position, but also participate in exchanges and mutual learning among human civilizations, and contribute to the world. Make due contributions to the progress of civilization.
