  • Title of Paper
    International Conference on Industrial Technology and Management Science (ITMS 2015) Study on Dialectical Relationship between Chinese Culture Flourishing and Psychological Healing guangli LUO Postdoctoral Science Research Workstation of China Industrial Safety Research Center, Beijing Jiaotong University, China ABSTRACT: Under the calling of the Chinese dream, the national culture fever is prevailing on the land of China wave upon wave. Chinese culture is no longer just a name in academic research field, or a code word for a subject, but the cultural gospel and cultural practice of an epoch, as well as great actions and confidence expression after the waking of a nation. An epoch's loud singing of the nation's culture reflects not only the mission of culture heritage, but the unconscious returning aspiration of the whole nation. The profound wisdom of Chinese culture: Dialectical concept of universe of man and nature, the moderation and clemency of Confucianism, and the concept of going into the world and leaving the world in Chinese philosophy do not only adapt to local people, but to different ethnic groups with needs in the growth of humanity and popular feeling as well as questions in life belonging, hoping to achieve certain life-time ideas. The renovation of Chinese culture is not only the idea in favor with the general public, but a traditional logic expression of objective requirement and wisdom culture for the development of time. Chinese culture is a history of physical and mental development, and has natural physical healing function. The flourishing of Chinese culture coincides with the growth and development path of the people, so there’s inner connection and dialectical nature between the two.
