The confrontation between modernity and tradition - see "The Last Samurai"

I used my newly bought laptop last night to hide in the dormitory to watch a movie. The computer in the office might play better, we are all night owls in the office, and I'm embarrassed to watch it there. In the process of watching, a friend sent a text message and asked me what I was doing? I said I was watching a movie, The Last Samurai. She attacked me and said, I have never heard of it, why do you always look at things that are not nutritious?
I would say that The Last Samurai is also very nutritious.
In order to become prosperous and modern, Japan no longer needs samurai. The Emperor of Japan, deceived by the minister "Omura", launched a crackdown on the "last samurai" - also the teacher of the emperor. The reason for Omura's fabrication is, of course, that the samurai rioted, which was contrary to the direction of Japan's modern prosperity. Omura is of course a side character in the film, but if the direction towards modernity is considered correct, then he also contributes to the progress of the country. It's just that he went against the Japanese tradition, samurai can not, but the samurai spirit is needed. Omura kept saying that Japan is now a country ruled by law and can no longer rely on the rule of man. But, "The Last Samurai" asks, have you ever donated a penny to the people? Then, Omura could only make excuses. Whether it is the rule of man or the rule of law, governing a country is for the sake of a better life for the people.
The Empress of Japan came to an epiphany and realized that he had killed his teacher, the last samurai, by mistake. So angry not to sign a peace treaty with the United States, which was to buy a lot of modern equipment. Seeing that the peace treaty was not signed, Omura was naturally very anxious. He could get a lot of benefits from the peace treaty. However, a series of interrogations by the Japanese emperor finally made Omura scared. The emperor said, if you are really good for the people, donate your property and distribute it to the people. Omura defended: You are insulting me again. The emperor said that if you feel humiliated, then kill yourself by caesarean section (Samurai spirit: if one feels humiliated, one should commit suicide). Of course, Omura didn't dare, nor would he commit suicide, he was selfish.
In the end, the emperor seemed to sum up the film: We must not forget Japanese traditions in the process of modernization. We cannot be without roots, the samurai spirit is a Japanese tradition.
At that time I thought, what is the Chinese tradition? Can it be made clear in just one movie? Is it possible to figure it out in just one book? "Chinese studies fever", it seems that everyone is talking about Chinese studies, but "too many things are miscellaneous, and miscellaneous things are disturbing", we are all lost. sorrow......
