Reasons for the Differences of World Traditional Cultures

The differences between Chinese and foreign cultures are gradually formed in the process of origin and development. Therefore, history must be clear.

1: Geographical differences at the time of origin determine culture: China was born in a fairly safe and affluent environment in his early years, which is easy to produce polytheism, monotheism and unified monotheism. Because under the condition of wealth and security, people's thoughts are easier to approach ethics. On the contrary, modern western culture was created by Germans. The living conditions of Germans are very poor. From the popular Nordic mythology in World of Warcraft, we can see that horror and despair are full of their thinking. Under this condition, they can easily accept the unified monotheism and rule their thoughts with religion instead of ethics.

2. The situation after development: The ideological system dominated by ethics is characterized by paying attention to public interests, social fairness and moral cultivation. Therefore, it develops rapidly in culture and is easy to become a perfect social system.

The characteristic of religion-led ideology is that it is easy to explore what God looks like, so it is easy to produce philosophical and technological innovations. This is also one of the reasons why western science and technology developed rapidly after the Renaissance. Such a system is more inclined to accept concepts such as personal interests, freedom and property. These concepts are necessary for the market economy, the mainstream economic form in the modern world.
