Kong Rong let the pear into the U.S. anti-material, let the pear is not Western style, why is the traditional Chinese virtue?

According to the understanding, Kong Rong is not only the 20th generation grandson of Confucius, plus the three character classic also recorded the story of "Rong four years old, can let the pear", so the Chinese people for the Kong Rong to let the pear of this story, is absolutely very familiar. The biggest reason why this story has been passed down is because of the underlying message of humility, courtesy and dedication to the community. Therefore, it occupies a very important position in Confucianism. However, if we think about it from another angle, if our children only know how to be courteous and yielding, will it also lead to small children losing their own advocates?

Kong Rong let the pear into the U.S. anti-material

Not thought of is, in the United States, but the Kong Rong let the pear as anti-material, because the Americans advocate the survival of the fittest, do not worship those who only know how to humbly let the reasoning. Because in the American view, the one-dimensional humility will only make the child lose himself, and even become obsequious.

More importantly, in the eyes of Americans, behind Kong Rong's giving up the pear reveals that a four-year-old child, however, possesses a very mature way of dealing with the world, and is able to make both adults and children satisfied and happy, which is also unacceptable to Americans.

There are even Americans who believe that Kong Rong's giving up the pear is nothing more than a show, and that it is purely personal heroism to attract the attention of adults through this act so as to be praised. But in other words, American Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, which one is not personal heroism? Why is it that after Kong Rong gave up his pear, it is not accepted as individualism?

Giving up a pear is not a Western style, so why is it a traditional Chinese virtue?

All that can be said about this is that it is entirely due to the different cultures of China and the United States, and it can even be said that it is due to the different cultures of the East and the West. That's why Kong Rong's giving up the pear is a traditional virtue in China, but is treated as an antithesis in the United States. At the same time, it also shows that Western culture emphasizes individual heroism and does not focus on collective cooperation, but Chinese culture promotes unity and cooperation to achieve the goal of **** win. In other words, the fact that Kong Rong gave up his pear was not for show, but because of the different cultures of the two sides, which led to the different positions and viewpoints of the two sides.

Of course, it can also be argued that the reason why the United States will be Kong Rong let the pear as a negative example, is entirely because in the view of the Americans, let the pear this kind of behavior is not in line with the style of the Americans. Even too much humility will make Americans lose their ego, so Kong Rong let the pear will be seen by Americans as a show. However, the Chinese people for Kong Rong let the pear has a very high evaluation, but also can see, this is why the Chinese and Western cultures can not be compatible with the reason.
