China people's thinking characteristics are

China people are good at adopting holistic, holographic and systematic methods, rather than partial, anatomical and analytical methods. If Chinese medicine is holistic therapy, headaches may cure feet; Jin Mu's fire, water, soil and five elements form a complementary whole, corresponding to the liver, kidney, spleen, heart and lung of human body, which is also a system and whole; Chinese medicine believes that some acupoints contain the information of the whole human body, which conforms to the holographic theory that any point in the universe contains all the information of the whole universe. In the eyes of China people, man, nature and society are also a whole, which is the ideological basis of the unity of man and nature and collectivism.

China people's way of thinking is intuition, experience, analogy and symbols, rather than rationality and logic, with strong sensibility and weak rationality. Our ancients recorded Haley's Comet forty times, but no one summed up its operating rules, and finally let the Englishman Haley get the right to discover it; We had a similar view of blood circulation a long time ago, but it didn't rise to theory. Finally, Harvey, an Englishman, laid the theoretical foundation.

China people's language reflecting philosophical thinking is also full of randomness, uncertainty, fuzziness and suggestibility. Traditional philosophical classics are mostly fragments of aphorisms, and there is not much connection between sentences. For example, the Tao Te Ching is like a famous saying, profound but unsystematic. The Analects of Confucius often expounds philosophical views in a few words, which is simple but not standardized. This is related to the application of China's philosophy. The purpose is to cultivate cultivated "people" and properly handle interpersonal relationships. Only by being concise can philosophy be popularized among the people and achieve the goal of edifying everyone.

Einstein said: Western science is based on logical reasoning and experimental verification, but China didn't take this road. Indeed, unlike the logic, speculation and argumentation of western wisdom, China's wisdom is recorded and described. We have many records of comets, new stars and sunspots, and countless practical technological inventions, but they are often in the stage of capturing phenomena. No wonder Hugo said that "China is an alcohol bottle for keeping the fetus".
