Characteristics of traditional Chinese culture (strengths and weaknesses) and characteristics of Western culture (strengths and weaknesses). Philosophically, explain why Eastern and Western cultures should "seek common ground while reserving differences". The fundamental characteristic of traditional Chinese culture is that it upholds authoritarianism and suppresses human nature. The fundamental characteristic of Western culture is that it focuses on building a fair and just society and liberating human nature. Traditional Chinese culture favors practicality and despises debate. It does not like to explore abstract concepts that have nothing to do with reality, but gives priority to the attention and study of human relationships. The core of traditional Chinese culture is the ethics of the human world. One of the evils of traditional Chinese culture is that it makes Chinese people hypocritical and selfish, smooth and worldly. Western culture emphasizes practical as well as spiritual values. It attaches particular importance to philosophy and religion, and puts the inquiry of the good society and human nature in an important position. Western culture respects human beings, and at the core of Western culture are social ethics and humanitarian values. The fruits of Western culture have built a fairer and more just society. Traditional Chinese culture, in terms of the relationship between human beings and society, advocates that human beings adapt to society, and is concerned with human beings' conduct in the world and their cultivation. However, leaving the good society to adapt to an authoritarian society can only result in the creation of generations of atrophied and deformed Chinese people. Traditional Chinese culture has crystallized a set of personal ethics about deformed personalities. Western culture, in terms of the relationship between man and society, advocates social adaptation to man, and is concerned with social justice and the transformation of society to make it conform to human nature. Therefore, it both transforms society and promotes the emancipation of human nature and the healthy development of personality. Western culture has crystallized a set of social ethics about a fair society. To seek common ground while reserving differences means to find out the ****similarities and retain the differences. That is to say, we need to integrate the East and the West while maintaining some of their characteristics, so that cultures can flourish and flowers can bloom.
