As a traditional cultural concept of the Chinese nation
"Valuing Homeland and Loathing Moving" was formed as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty
and finalized in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It can be clearly reflected in people’s infatuation with their homeland
rejection of leaving hometown
and deep yearning for their homeland after moving out. The emergence of the concept of "Valuing Homeland and Loathing Moving" is closely related to the agricultural production mode in ancient China
the rulers’ demand for governance
the vigorous advocation by the Hundred Schools of Thought and frequent wars and chaos. Fully understanding the cultural connotation of the concept of "Valuing Homeland and Loathing Moving" is helpful to promote the socialist cultural construction of China today.
