Abstract

This study explores the philosophical value of traditional culture and its innovative transformation pathways within the context of Chinese modernization, revealing the profound significance and practical value of traditional culture in contemporary social development. Utilizing literature analysis, philosophical inquiry, and interdisciplinary research methods, this study systematically examines the core concepts of Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, analyzing the inherent compatibility of philosophical ideas such as the unity of Heaven and humanity, the Doctrine of the Mean, and the people-centered thought with Chinese modernization. By situating the philosophical value of traditional culture within the historical context and contemporary needs of Chinese modernization, the study analyzes its application potential in value guidance, social governance, and ecological construction. It also explores the theoretical logic and practical strategies for the innovative transformation of traditional culture, concluding that its philosophical value provides unique spiritual resources and intellectual support for Chinese modernization. Through creative transformation and innovative development, traditional culture can effectively promote the organic integration of tradition and modernity, aiding in the construction of a modernization paradigm with Chinese characteristics and achieving the goal of coordinated material and spiritual civilization.
