The future of Chinese culture do

 For economists, the cultural change and economic development (modernization) of the relationship is a very complex problem, there has not yet developed into economic theory. University of Chicago in the early 50s of last century founder of the publication of a magazine to the name the relationship between culture and modernization of years of debate have not stopped .8 years ago, I heard at Harvard from Princeton University's Emeritus Professor Yu Yingshi speech, and later repeated listening Harvard Yenching Institute Professor Tu Weiming lectures. domestic literature in this area even more. basically two views (and occasionally a third faction), and control up to read, often feeling a lot. Not long ago in the U.S. state of Trinity College, and I Man Mr. Paul met, he gave me to go to Mexico and Egypt, described the culture shock travel. He regrets, we are 5 years of civilization in China are proud of, but today we could get out to future generations deserve to see what it is years of civilization not much. It is worth to reflect on our good Chinese culture. read on the Internet today, today's special atmosphere, the article is more like a thought bomb. Links to this, as the reader is lead to more traditional Chinese cultural and economic modernization in the further attention. reads as follows:
culture, you have a future? In addition, Taiwan's experience shows that traditional Chinese culture does not hinder the modern economic and political transformation and development.
to discuss What is . Linton said. Obviously, we can not talk about such a broad cultural sense, for present purposes, I just said, China to modern civilization - its core is a constitutional democracy, rule of law and market economy - the provision of cultural resources, and in meeting the challenges facing humanity and to contribute to the crisis. This definition of all the criticism, but with the current mainland China, pessimistic attitude, which is the idea of Peking University professor Ji contrast. He believes that Chinese culture will play a leading role in the world, Chinese culture will overwhelm Western culture, it may be a turning point in the 21st century.
Ji There are two arguments. First, each civilization has flourished during the decline of Western civilization has been dominated for centuries, 30 years east of the river, 30 years west, east, when the dominant culture may be coming soon. I think This argument is not worthy of discussion, which is the hexagram statements similar to the fortune teller.
Second, is the essence of Chinese philosophy, Only China could save the human philosophy. I think Mr. quarter misinterpreted here, the first two reasons are internal, I think that traditional Chinese culture from ancient to modern times did not experience the revolutionary change and development, has been stuck in the ancient form, so the culture is often said that the In fact, the compared to the same science and technology. But unfortunately, we could not really modern and traditional forms and inherited relationship with Chinese culture and Western culture to compare.
my views above may be refuted in two ways. First, China experienced great tradition in fact change, such as the introduction of Buddhism by the resulting changes in the stimulus; second, modern Confucianism was the traditional Chinese culture and the creative transformation of a revolutionary.
answer the first point of rebuttal I have to say, the Chinese cultural tradition actually experienced great changes, including those arising from the introduction of Buddhism to stimulate change, but these changes have occurred in the stimulus and the industrial revolution and the large-scale encounter with the West before. Opium War in China people exclaimed, China suffered a movement, by the cultural changes to meet the crisis.
answer the second point of rebuttal, I would say that the achievements of contemporary Neo-Confucian scholars can only be regarded as a controversial personal opinion, we have not been recognized, the modern form Neo-Confucianism. In addition you can see, just try to turn the contemporary Neo-Confucian ideology of Western constitutional democracy, the introduction of Confucianism, their failure to prove the internal genes of Confucianism alone can Health issued a modern market economy and democratic system.
My two reasons for the second is external, I think the Chinese traditional culture in the 20th century was the destruction of half of the damage, it is difficult to get from this kind of damage repair, back to life, so far we have do not see the signs back to life. I would like to stress that most people who discuss the future of Chinese culture, consciously or unconsciously ignore the Chinese traditional culture has been devastated fact, if the problem is the traditional culture in the natural development under normal conditions.
comes to this second aspect, I would like to specifically elucidate two points. First, many people believe that the destruction of traditional Chinese culture produced in the May Fourth New Culture Movement in the Enlightenment intellectuals, in fact, their criticism of the old culture, both how intense, can only be considered within the cultural intellectuals contend, the development needs of cultural debate, challenge, change, criticism of the May Fourth New Culture Movement in the final analysis, ideological and cultural development of the performance of spontaneous order. The real devastation is the political power initiated institutional and thorough destruction. can not tell these two aspects, or afraid to face the second attack on the traditional culture, you can not find where the problem lies.
Second, some people might think that the current The and the dominant business motive. with a traditional culture to fill the ideological vacuum, the consequences are sick of it is the future issues, Yu Ying-shih in 1990 published a paper entitled century.
