They opposed to the tradition at the macrocosm but supported tradition even Stubbornly in specific things. In this way, the strength and depth of their voice of anti-tradition was greatly decreased.Then their ability to practice the anti-traditional advocation was Limited. While enlightenings sharply and fiercely criticized ancient culture, their recognition of traditional culture was deeply rooted and unconscious. On the one hand,they accepted almost all of western civilization.On the other hand,they put themselves into the traditional culture deeply.This contradiction caused their cultural identity crisis. In addition , the underlying reasons for the enlightenings'contradiction have something to do with their way of thinking.
