It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional cultures every day.Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your house,seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes,you can't help thinking,"Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"
Many people believe so.They may put right in front of you all the evidences they can dig out.They may argue that people are rushing to restaurants instead of cooking at home,listening to pop music but not traditional,wearing in a way people couldn't imagine ten years ago.Modern people like the air of freedom,not to be restrained by traditions.They offer this long list,only trying to confirm that this world is full of fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading
and will be lost at last.
Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression,war,hypocrisy,chicanery,anarchy are part of our daily life.Though this is a skeptical age,and our faith has weakened,our confidence in some aspects of the traditional culture should and would never be lost.
Wouldn't you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with modesty,politeness and respectfulness,which have always been treasured for more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world,people still admire those with good manners,those who are polite to others or respectful to old people.
Wouldn't you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people around the world?
So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards life,but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional culture that people still treasure in heart.
The traditional culture will never be lost,I believe.
