What are the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations?

Differences between Eastern and Western civilizations are:

1, cultural concepts: our Eastern culture has always been concerned about the concept of harmony, the main expression of man and man to harmony, man and nature to comply with the main, advocating in line with the Tao of Heaven, Mencius also put forward, a lot of human activities should be carried out under the premise of not affecting the nature. Therefore, under this concept, many people throughout the ages have been willing to attach themselves to nature and pay more attention to the enjoyment of spiritual aspects.

2. Moral outlook: the West emphasizes individuality, while the Chinese advocate group orientation. The difference in moral values between China and the West makes the ethical systems and moral norms of China and the West have different characteristics: the West emphasizes the contract, and China emphasizes humanism.

Western emphasis on reason, Chinese emphasis on human feelings; Western ethics focuses on competition, while China favors mediocrity and harmony; Western ethics is based on human nature's evil and emphasizes individual moral education, while Chinese Confucianism is based on human nature's good point of view and emphasizes the individual's moral cultivation.

3, confidentiality: Westerners have more respect for human rights and personal freedom, so they will not spy on and spread other people's confidentiality and secrets, for which they believe that people who are keen on other people's confidentiality of personnel immoral and disgusting.

While people in the East are not so sensitive to this, on the contrary, many people have some inexplicable interest in other people's secrets, always like to inquire and discuss, and even some of them will also take other people's secrets as a kind of entertainment tool to find topics and entertainment, in fact, this is a kind of ignorance in the Eastern culture.

4, competition: China's traditional culture to Confucianism as the core, so Confucianism advocated the "middle way" is also very deep in people's hearts, although at the moment a lot of competition in many areas are very intense, but from the concept of Confucianism expressed the competition is immoral, still in people's minds there must be status.

And since ancient times, the small farmer consciousness, also makes the ultimate goal of Chinese competition is to bring down the opponent, this concept must also hinder the development and improvement of China.
