Certainly, these Myths are useful. They are part of a virtuous feedback loop, where Correct Thinking leads to Correct Actions, which gives you Happy Results, which reinforces the Correct Thinking. It's pointless to ask what "determines" what, or who started it, in a feedback loop. A better question is: what reinforces, and what erodes, this virtuous cycle? The Chinese have been hard-working forever, and have praised those who got an education for almost as long, but that didn't save them from 130 years of chaos and poverty, from the Opium Wars to the Cultural Revolution.
