案例思考题从这篇文章来看，中国的传统文化是什么，而今天中国的文化又是什么样的？Chinese traditional culture 中国传统文化Confucius having lived around the 5th Century BC had an enormous and enduring influence on China. Confucian values stress ethics and obligation to others such as duty, loyalty, filial piety, respect for elders and seniority and sincerity.
