How to view western history and culture

Western history can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. These ancient civilizations laid the foundation for the development of Western civilization. During the Middle Ages, Christian religion became the main religion of Western culture and influenced the development of art, literature, and philosophy. The Renaissance was a critical period in the history of Western culture, marking the revival of arts, literature, and science. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Enlightenment emphasized rationality and freedom, which became an important milestone in the history of Western culture. The industrial revolution in the late 19th and early 20th century promoted economic development and technological progress, as well as cultural richness and multiculturalism. In the middle of the 20th century, the Second World War led to a historical turning point in Western culture and also pushed forward the arrival of the Cold War. Today, Western culture still has a wide range of influence on a global scale and plays an important role in politics, economy, culture, and society.

Confucianism was an important part of ancient Chinese ideology. Its origin could be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty philosopher Zhou Dunyi, and it was perfected by the Southern Song Dynasty philosopher Zhu Xi and others. The core of Li Xue was "heavenly principles" and "psychology". The former emphasized the origin of the universe and the supreme heavenly principles, while the latter emphasized the perfection and self-cultivation of the human spiritual world. On the one hand, it deeply influenced the development of ancient Chinese philosophy, culture and religion. On the other hand, it also influenced the development and reform of modern Chinese thought to a certain extent. In the history of Chinese culture, Li Xue was regarded as a philosophical ideology that could guide people to understand and transform the world. To a certain extent, it changed the system, customs and culture of ancient Chinese society and promoted the progress and development of society. At the same time, it also had a profound influence on modern Chinese ideology, culture and politics. For example, it reflected on and criticized the feudal ethics, traditional culture and national spirit in traditional Chinese thinking, and put forward some new ideas such as "the unity of knowledge and action","the pursuit of knowledge" and so on. The position of Confucianism in the history of Chinese culture was profound and complicated. It was not only a philosophical ideology, but also an important part of the development of ancient Chinese society, culture and ideology. It had a profound impact on modern Chinese ideology, culture and politics.

Western culture had an important influence on the development of modern Chinese literature. In the early 20th century, Western culture began to spread widely in China and tried to introduce Western literary elements into China. Lu Xun, Lao She, etc. The influence of western culture on modern Chinese literature was also reflected in the form and content of literature. In the latter half of the 20th century, modern Chinese literature began to adopt the forms of modernism and post-modernism, which were very similar to western modernist literature. At the same time, the content of modern Chinese literature also paid more and more attention to social reality and human nature exploration, which had a certain agreement with the theme and values of Western literature works. Although western culture had an important influence on the development of modern Chinese literature, it should be noted that this influence was two-way. Modern Chinese literature was also influenced by Western culture and developed itself by absorbing the advantages of Western culture. Therefore, we need to maintain a diverse and inclusive attitude when appreciating and evaluating literary works.

Cyber culture refers to a cultural form that spreads, develops, and influences cultural phenomena through the Internet and digital technology, including various online literature, online music, online movies, online television dramas, online animation, and so on. As a new form of culture, network culture has many unique characteristics. First of all, network culture has the characteristics of fast transmission speed and wide coverage. It can quickly transmit information and culture, breaking the transmission restrictions of traditional culture. Secondly, network culture has the characteristics of strong interaction. People can communicate, share and create on the Internet, forming a dynamic cultural ecosystem. In addition, online culture was also open and innovative. It not only attracted a large number of people from different cultural backgrounds, but also gave birth to a variety of new cultural forms and creative methods. However, there were also some shortcomings in online culture. First of all, there is a problem in online culture that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false information. Some online information may be false, misleading, and poisonous, which may have adverse effects on people's physical and mental health. Secondly, there are also vulgar, violent, erotic and other problems in the network culture. Some bad content spread on the Internet has caused harm to the physical and mental health of young people. Finally, there are problems with the regulation and standards of online culture. Some online cultural products lack supervision and standards, which are prone to vulgar and illegal problems. Internet culture was a cultural form with great potential and cultural value. We should strengthen the management and guidance of the network culture to prevent the spread of bad information and promote the healthy development of the network culture.

Online culture referred to the cultural content that was popular on the Internet, including novels, movies, music, games, and so on. It has been widely developed and spread around the world, and it has also had a certain impact on Chinese traditional culture. The emergence and development of internet culture was closely related to the rapid development of information technology, as well as the changes in people's interests, hobbies, and values. In the age of the Internet, people could easily obtain all kinds of information through the Internet, and at the same time, they could express their thoughts and opinions more conveniently. This kind of convenient condition made the network culture spread and develop rapidly, and at the same time, it also produced many excellent works and cultural phenomena.

Chinese traditional culture had a rich expression and content, including literature, music, painting, opera, calligraphy, and so on. These cultural works not only had an important position in Chinese history, but also had a profound impact on global culture.

Online mourning culture refers to some cultural phenomena that are popular on social media platforms, such as depression, negative emotions, giving up on pursuing one's dreams, etc. My views on this cultural phenomenon are as follows: To a certain extent, the online funeral culture reflected the widespread stress and anxiety in modern society. In a fast-paced life, people face various pressures such as work pressure, academic pressure, interpersonal pressure, etc. These pressures may cause people to have negative emotions and give up pursuing their dreams. The rise of online mourning culture may be a way for people to express themselves in order to relieve these pressures. However, there were also some negative effects of the online mourning culture. Over-expressing negative emotions may cause people to have negative emotions that affect their emotional and mental health. Giving up on pursuing one's dreams might also cause one to lose the motivation to move forward and affect one's personal growth and development. I think the online mourning culture should be seen as an expression of negative emotions rather than a positive way of life. We need to deal with stress and anxiety while maintaining a positive attitude and the spirit of pursuing our dreams. For individuals, they should learn how to effectively relieve stress and anxiety and how to maintain a positive attitude, which is conducive to personal mental health and growth.

The audience could interact with the content creators through the bullet screen to share their thoughts and feelings, and at the same time, they could better understand and appreciate the content. The bullet screen culture also promoted the development of Internet culture to a certain extent, promoting the process of social networking and information transmission on the Internet. However, the bullet screen culture also had some problems and shortcomings. First of all, due to the large number of bullet comments, sometimes there would be some irresponsible content that would even have a negative impact on the content creators. Secondly, the bullet screen culture also had certain security risks because some bullet screens might contain malicious software or viruses that could cause damage to computers or mobile devices. In general, bullet screen culture was a new Internet cultural phenomenon with certain advantages and disadvantages. We need to look at the bullet screen culture rationally and respect the creative results of the content creators.

However, there were also some negative problems in the online culture, such as cyber-violence, false information, and inappropriate content. The internet culture spreads very fast. Some bad information can easily spread to all parts of the world through the internet, which has a negative impact on people's thoughts, morals, and values.

There is a close relationship between the culture of ethnic minorities and the traditional Chinese culture.

The traditional Chinese culture was diverse and contained many cultural elements and traditional customs of ethnic minorities.
