Topic 34 Increasing Attention to Traditional Culture 增加对传统文化的重视

The last decade witnessed an intriguing phenomenon that people are paying more and more attention to traditional Chinese culture. Bookshelves are packed with books interpreting ancient Chinese wisdom, depicting its brilliant history and fascinating historic figures. It is the same with TV programs. What s more, suggestions that Chinese classics be made a compulsory course have been made.

Three factors may account for people s up-surging interest. To begin with, tremendous curiosity is aroused by those pending history mysteries of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Furthermore, people come to the realization that ancient Chinese culture serves as a gold mine from which inexhaustible lessons can be learned and put into today s practice. Last but not least, despite the global dominance of western culture, our ethnic cultural pride has significantly increased.

In my opinion, without any doubt, it is of positive significance that we pay more attention to our traditional culture. Not only can we derive pleasure from solving the mysteries in history, but we can learn a great deal from our ancestors wisdom.
