Traditional culture evolves

Traditional Chinese culture is a dynamic, tolerant system that evolves constantly. For example, it seeks a society where everybody has good manners, yet respects the personality of every individual within the emerging concept of human rights. It praises humankind's efforts to make the natural world support its survival, yet promotes harmony between human and nature when the environment needs protection. It is self-renewal that gives a culture vitality.

Reviving traditional culture does not mean wearing old-fashioned clothes or eating traditional foods; we need to absorb the useful parts from the culture to strengthen the moral principles of today's society. During this process, traditional culture will progress creatively, giving spiritual support to sustain the Chinese nation.
