From the traditional Chinese culture aspect to talk about why the Chinese people to authority extremely trust and worship?

Traditional culture actually does not support the worship of authority, in a certain period of history, China and the West as well as ready, began to grow rapidly, is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, that is, the Western naturalistic philosophy began to explore the question of man's origin, China is a hundred hundred schools of thought, three religions and nine streams have become in this. As long as there is a reason, there are fans can become famous, no less than nowadays the Internet fame.

But then the two diverged. In the West, because of the ancient Greek city-state system, so that different academics can continue to develop, that is, in Athens, if you are not well received, you can go to Sparta, in any case, here does not leave the master, there is a place to stay, (the subsequent history of Europe has repeatedly had this kind of exile, the French government does not want to be seen, he went to the United Kingdom to accept the political protection). China, however, is a great unitary state organization, under the sky, no one is the king's land, the rate of the land, no one is the king's subjects. So if your theory is found to be inconsistent with the main theme, you will not be welcomed anywhere, and you will be arrested by officials with chains every day, and if someone helps you? If someone helps you, that person will be sentenced to imprisonment. The main theme is Confucianism, so Confucianism survives and all the religions are destroyed, the Chinese legal system is destroyed at that time, after that, the Chinese people have never been able to realize the rule of law, until now also did not.

The same thing happened within Confucianism. When a certain academic authority was closer to the main theme, other academic authorities were suppressed by the authorities, and so Cheng-Zhu rationalism narrowed and distorted Confucianism, and later honored the science of the heart. These academic authorities have been the main theme from generation to generation.

Also, Confucianism extremely depreciated commerce, making it the fastest and most likely path for people to get ahead at that time was to join the civil service, and to join the civil service one must follow the main theme and read only the main theme, and there was no way out for those who didn't read the main theme, such as Liu Yong in the Song Dynasty, or Duan Chengshi in the Tang Dynasty, who wrote the "Miscellaneous Chopping Grounds in Youyang".

lz, your tone should not be too punchy, readers with a false sense of humor, temperament like orchids for the top.
