Abstract

Patriotism needs innovation in theory. But patriotism faces challenges in theory: the challenge of individualism to collective values, the misplacement of traditional cultural perspective, the abuse of evolutionism and the vulgarization of materialism. We should accurately understand traditional culture and fully understand the value rational tendency of traditional culture. Chinese traditional culture, centered on morality, provides a low-cost, highly spiritual freedom way of life. In the theoretical innovation of patriotism education, we should seek the effective combination of individualism and collectivism, and tap the support point of national self-confidence.
