A 1,000-word essay about traditional culture

A 1,000-word essay about traditional culture is as follows:

Traditional culture is like a tree, which has been in the world for more than thousands of years. Although the foundation is solid and deeply rooted in the soil filled with the blood and sweat of the Chinese nation, it can be imagined that it is not easy to remain new for a long time in the changing times. The lushness of this tree depends on our meticulous care of the old branches so that it can grow vibrant new shoots in the coming year.

Since it is not necessary to cut off the original branches and create a new place, we must not forget our ancestors. If we want to revitalize culture, how can we abandon excellent traditional culture? What's more, the already strong tree with the wisdom of our ancestors needs the careful care of our new generation.

In ancient times, Confucius compiled cultural classics in his old age. Today, Shen Congwen works tirelessly to study and record ancient Chinese costume culture. The Gong family in Zigong County, Sichuan has passed down the fan-making craft from generation to generation. Of course, tradition cannot be discarded completely. Wouldn’t it be wise to pick out the malleable branches and continue and cultivate them? But it's not just bare branches that are needed. The tree's flourishing obviously also requires dense leaves.

Buds are new buds, which inject new life into the old tree. Traditional culture needs our innovation, needs to be transformed on the lathe of the times, and needs appropriate industrialization to promote it. Why are the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival still valued, while the Double Ninth Festival and Qingming Festival are rarely paid attention to? One of the big reasons is that the food culture of the former is more widely accepted by the public.

And this food culture is no longer what it used to be. There are new ways of eating, catering to the public's psychology and needs, which shows the importance of ya. It cannot be said that people today have forgotten traditions, but the environment is changing. If the original things remain unchanged, who would want to be stuck in the cumbersome and useless old rules?

Gong Fan seems to still maintain his own charm and still only relies on a pair of skillful hands. But with the poverty of Gong's family, who can guarantee Gong Fan's future? Rather than letting it be lost in the long river of history and the dust of the times, it is better to promote it to the market and be understood by more people, thus attracting people's attention to its protection issues.

Of course, the buds cannot grow randomly. If you plant the wrong branches, it will do a lot of harm but nothing good. It will only make the whole tree look smoky and nondescript. Facing industrialization, Gong Fan does not want to completely retreat. Persistence is what you need to persevere, otherwise where will the fan still be in the depths of Chinese civilization?

We must avoid industrialization for the sake of industrialization. Once industrialization is excessive and the buds and leaves grow excessively, it will inevitably affect the purity and independence of the original culture. In the great forest of world culture, the trees of Chinese civilization are still growing. It is not a wise move to be self-respecting or to rest on one's own laurels. Only by growing new buds from old branches, innovating while inheriting and integrating with the needs of the times can we remain invincible from generation to generation.
