What is the difference between the core of ancient eastern and western humanistic spirit?

The core of China's ancient humanistic spirit is people-oriented social ethics. The core of ancient western humanistic spirit is people-oriented, opposing autocratic authority and emphasizing human freedom.

Humanistic spirit is not only the main content of spiritual civilization, but also affects the construction of material civilization. It is the core content that constitutes the cultural individuality of a nation and a region. It is an important measure to measure the degree of civilization of a nation and a region. The level of humanistic quality of citizens in a country depends to a great extent on the status and level of humanistic education in national education.

In western languages, the word "humanistic spirit" should be humanism, which is usually translated into humanism, humanitarianism and humanitarianism.

In a narrow sense, it refers to a trend of thought in the Renaissance, and its core idea is:

First, care about people, put people first, attach importance to people's value, and oppose theology's suppression of human nature;

Second, carry forward human rationality and oppose theology's depreciation of rationality;

Thirdly, it advocates the harmony between spirit and flesh, based on the pursuit of transcendental spirit of earthly life, opposes the opposition between spirit and flesh in theology, and denies earthly life with the life of heaven.

Broadly speaking, it refers to a cultural tradition in Europe that began in ancient Greece. According to my understanding of this tradition, I define the basic connotation of humanistic spirit as three levels:

First, humanity, the pursuit of human happiness and dignity, is a broad humanitarian spirit;

Second, rationality, the pursuit of truth, is a broad scientific spirit;

Third, transcendence, the pursuit of the meaning of life. Simply put, it is to care about people, especially their spiritual life; Respect the value of human beings, especially the value of human beings as spiritual beings.

The basic meaning of humanistic spirit is to respect human values and spiritual values.
