When it comes to culture, some people say that I went to college and studied as a graduate student, so I am a literate person. In fact, this is just a person’s education and diploma, not a real culture.

So, what is culture? Broadly speaking, culture refers to the sum of all material products and spiritual products created by human beings. Nowadays, there are many interpretations of the definition of culture, but in any case, culture can not be separated from literacy, and culture can not be separated from consciousness. A literate person is a person who can strive for goodness, progress and progress, a person who pursues personality charm, and a person who can be strictly self-disciplined. Such a person is a literate person with connotation.

Culture, culture, is to educate people. Wen is a civilization, and Wen is a literary spirit! Human society, from ignorance to civilization, this is the progress of society and the development of the times. A person with quality is a person who can arm his mind with culture. Such a person is a literate person and a civilized person.

Literature needs literature, but also needs culture. We should "create" people with literature and inspire people with literature, so as to keep pace with the times, keep pace with civilization, keep moving forward and strengthen ourselves. The Chinese nation has a long and splendid history and culture of 5,000 years, which makes us proud and glorious. The ancient sages have left us countless famous sayings that inspire people’s minds. These are the great wisdom of life, from which we can absorb spiritual nutrition, implant culture in our hearts, infiltrate into people’s bone marrow, and become a powerful spiritual driving force for life growth.

Culture and culture are precious in a word "Hua", and culture can be imperceptibly influenced; Culture can be passed down; Culture needs the unity of knowing and doing, being a man should talk less and do more, keep a low profile and do things with a high profile, which is the charm of culture. People live in reality, the commodity economy is a pluralistic society, colorful, singing and dancing, and all kinds of temptations come to us. Many people can’t stand the temptation of feasting, forget their initial heart, lose their kindness, empty spirit, impetuous mood, money first and self first; Some people make a lot of money, but they have no spiritual support, and eventually they fall down on the road of life.

There was a network anchor named Viya. In two years, she evaded taxes by 643 million yuan, and finally the tax authorities fined her a total of 1.341 billion yuan. She earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Some people don’t understand why she should do such a thing as tax evasion when she earns so much money a day. To put it bluntly, it is greed, which is the lack of culture. The lack of greed has been verified in her. People, if they leave morality and kindness, they will be greedy and will eventually be harmed by greed. Such examples are heard from time to time in reality.

A person can make money without money. Modern society provides everyone with a platform for self-development. As long as a person can work hard and strive for self-improvement, he can find his own life stage. If a person has no morality and culture, even if he earns a lot of money, he will eventually "spit it out". This is called settling accounts after the autumn, which is also called what goes around comes around, and what goes around comes around comes around. This is the causal relationship of life, and it is also a cultural embodiment of being a man.

To be a cultured person, this culture is to be a self-disciplined person, a person who can control his own behavior, a person who can control his own mouth, and a person who can control his own behavior. Perhaps some people will say that it is really too difficult and too bitter to be a man like this. In fact, suffering is also a kind of culture. If you eat bitter, you can be a master. If you don’t be a master, you have to consciously look for bitterness. This is a self-disciplined life. If you don’t suffer hardships in life, you won’t get rewards. Take pleasure in suffering, take pleasure in suffering, and strive for a life. This is the culture of being a man and a man with literacy.

Maybe you often hear this sentence: "It’s terrible to be uneducated". So what exactly is "culture"?

Recently, I saw such an explanation, which was said by the writer Liang Xiaosheng and can be summarized in four sentences:

Cultivation rooted in the heart; Consciousness without reminding; Freedom based on constraints; Kindness for others! ???

In other words, these four sentences explain what culture is.

Self-cultivation rooted in the heart means doing things properly, being calm when encountering many things, and being polite to others.

It is not that a high degree of education means cultivation, and even some people with high academic qualifications have poor cultivation quality. There are still such people in life! For example, he has a bad temper and often greets other people’s families. Such people, no matter how high their academic qualifications are, are not literate.

I don’t need to remind myself that I am talking about some details. For example, we can understand the inconvenience of pregnant women and the elderly by car and consciously give up their seats; Stand in line consciously when eating.

There are still many details. Generally speaking, pay attention to other people’s feelings, and don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you. Take the initiative to care about others, instead of always relying on others to remind you.

Freedom on the premise of restraint. It is said that freedom is not what you want to do. But there must be a premise.

For example, what short video sounds are the most annoying when the phone is turned on in public? Why don’t such people consciously wear headphones, but the sound is very loud and boring. Without considering other people’s feelings at all.

You are free to listen to the sound of your mobile phone, but don’t affect others.

Kindness for others. What I said is not to embarrass others, but to be good for others from the heart. But it doesn’t mean to be a good man, but to help the poor, punish the strong and help the weak, and care and trust others.

The above explanations are some of Xiaobian’s own understandings.

Of course, there are many definitions of culture. But in everyone’s heart, there will be a ruler to measure what culture is. And extracting the essence should be the culture that everyone agrees with.

Thank you for your attention, and hope to help everyone!

In an era, it not only updated our understanding of culture, but also refreshed our ideas again.

Just as knowledge is not equal to culture, it subverts our rational knowledge and perceptual habits all the time.

In fact, in our thinking logic, people often regard culture as the code of conduct of civilization.

For example, benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and trust, gentleness, courtesy and frugality are all concrete manifestations of behavior culture.

Therefore, when a person walks under a tree or an obstacle below his height, there is no doubt that he will bend down.

It should be said that few people even think about how to change it. This is a kind of culture.

Especially when the elevator door is opened, some people stand aside and wait for others to get off the elevator, and some people are eager to squeeze in.

These actions are the intersection of behavior and culture, and have nothing to do with education and knowledge. This is also a kind of culture.

[1] What is culture

Now that we have talked about "culture", how should we understand and recognize these two words? Of course, in other words: "What is" culture "?

Generally speaking, what we call "culture" in a broad sense refers to the sum of all material products and spiritual products created by human beings.

In a narrow sense, it refers to spiritual products including language, literature, art and all ideologies.

Here, we emphasize that as a kind of "culture", it must have six characteristics:

(1) universality. The universality of culture is manifested in the common cultural forms in social practice activities, even though different national consciousness and behavior are manifested, they have the same forms of expression.

(2) Diversity. Under different natural, historical and social conditions, different cultural types and cultural models have been formed, which makes the world culture present the characteristics of diversity as a whole.

(3) nationality. The traditional culture rooted in the nation is complementary to the development of the nation. So different nationalities have different national cultures.

(4) Inheritance. The inheritance of culture is the basis of carrying forward and developing culture. If there is no inheritance, of course, there will be no culture.

(5) Developmental. The essence of a national culture lies in its continuous development and change. A series of cultural products, including today’s automation and informatization, are the results of cultural development.

(6) the times. In the historical process of human development, each era has its own typical cultural type.

[2] Cultural background

I remember that Mr. Li Yanjie, the former professor of Beijing Normal University and vice president of the World Association for the Promotion of Chinese Education, once gave an open class entitled "Virtue, knowledge, talent, truth, goodness and beauty" at the lecture tour in Peking University.

He said; What is culture? The sum of truth, goodness and beauty is culture.

It can be seen that what we call "culture" is the product of all-round, multi-level and three-dimensional intersection of fields.

It not only covers a person’s cultivation, temper and disposition, but also includes family environment, living space, and even genetics and so on.

My neighbor, Aunt Song, once said, "Without culture, you are illiterate.". This statement is very incisive and hits the nail on the head.

You can imagine, living in the present, if you don’t even know a big word, this is not a scene, and it has nothing to do with the bridge, but it is incredible.

[3] It’s terrible to have no culture

Once upon a time, there was a saying circulating in the society: "It’s terrible to be uneducated", although it was just a network language. But it is a culture in itself.

Do you know that the cultural content contained in this sentence is far and near, false and real, true and false?

Perhaps, it may be trying to explain a thing or an action. But I hope it’s just a humorous remark with no practical significance.
