Chinese and Western cultural traditions in the rule of law has a huge difference?

Differences caused by culture, said a Harvard professor: the Chinese themselves do not know a national characteristic, but let them stand to this day. Harvard Divinity School professor David. Chapman, in a lecture, to the nearly 1,000 students on stage to share, interpretation of Chinese mythology, and no fewer than ten times with a passionate tone of voice to summarize the kernel of Chinese mythology: the Chinese national identity. Driven by his emotions, the atmosphere was always fervent. He said, "In our mythology, fire is given by God; in Greek mythology, fire is stolen by Prometheus; while in Chinese mythology, fire is rubbed out by their tenacity in drilling wood for fire! That's the difference, and they use such stories to warn future generations to fight against nature!" (Drilling wood for fire)

"In the face of the apocalyptic flood, we took refuge in Noah's Ark, but in Chinese mythology, their ancestors overcame the flood, and see, it's still a struggle, a struggle against disaster!" (Dayu healing the water) "If you go and read the Chinese myths, you will find their stories incredible, put aside the storyline and find the core of the culture expressed in the myths, and you will find that there are only two words: resistance! If there is a mountain in front of your door, do you choose to move or dig a tunnel? Obviously, moving is the best choice. However, in the Chinese story, they moved the mountain (Yugong Yishan)! Unfortunately, such a spiritual kernel does not exist in our mythology, which is about listening to the gods." "Every country has a legend of the sun god, and in the tribal times, the sun god had absolute authority. Looking at all the myths of the sun god you'll find that only the Chinese have a story of a man who dared to challenge the sun god: there was a man who chased after the sun because the sun was too hot and tried to take it down (Kuafu chasing the sun). Of course, in the end he died of exhaustion - and I heard many of you laughing, which is too bad, because the fact that you laughed at this man's lack of self-importance is exactly the proof that you don't have the sense to challenge the difficulties. But in Chinese mythology, he is celebrated as a hero because he dared to fight against seemingly insurmountable forces. In another story, they finally shoot the sun down (Hou Yi shoots the sun), and the ancestors of the Chinese used such stories to tell future generations that it is possible to lose, but not to give in. The Chinese have grown up listening to such mythological stories, and the spirit of courage and resistance has become a genetic inheritance, which they themselves do not realize, but will be as strong as their ancestors. Therefore it is much easier for you to understand now when you think of the Chinese stubborn spirit of not giving in, which is the reason why they stand to this day." The video of Prof. David's lecture was uploaded to social networking sites and caused heated discussions among foreign netizens. "A girl was drowned by the sea, she came back to life as a bird and tried to fill the sea - that's resistance!" (Jingwei reclaiming the sea) "A man had his head chopped off for challenging the Divine Majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, but he didn't die, he swung his axe and continued the struggle!" (Tingtian) I have to say, this David Chapman's interpretation of Chinese mythology. I have to say that Prof. David Chapman's interpretation of Chinese myths is very original and spot on. We often say that the Chinese people for thousands of years is to rely on the continuous struggle with nature, disaster and the environment to continue to the present, but how many people have thought of, the Chinese people this
