There are differences between Chinese and Western cultures, what are the differences between Eastern traditional culture and Western culture?

Hello, the mainstream of Eastern traditional culture is Confucianism, while the mainstream of Western traditional culture is the Christian faith ......These two are so different.

The essence of Confucianism is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, while the essence of Christian faith is to dedicate one's life to the Lord God ...... One is to cultivate one's body and family, to rule the country and to pacify the world in order to achieve a commonwealth world, and the other is to firmly believe in praying and praying for blessings in order to obtain eternal life.

Confucius said to honor ghosts and gods and stay away from them, and Jesus said we have to be close to God ...... One wants you to honor ghosts and gods and stay away from them, and the other wants you to be close to God and serve him.

Confucianism gentleman line and learn Wen, Adam and Eve naked to guard the orchard ...... one is to learn wisdom, one is not allowed to eat wisdom fruit to know good and evil, justified by faith.

Confucianism gentleman even if persecuted themselves still understand reason, and religious believers even in paradise themselves still superstitious ...... one in by constantly learning wisdom and amend words and deeds and let themselves and others are living a better life, and one in listening to the canon against wisdom and dedication to the holy 戦.

Of course, at this point you may be angrily asking me why I am now inferior to the West ...... Then you are probably forgetting that we also had a time when the Great Tang Dynasty far surpassed the dark Middle Ages of the West. And benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith have long since become as faceless as primitive Buddhism after the burning of books, the revision of the Siku books and the cultural revolution.

And we have yet to see the future, the future of how to stop that same but competing followers of the three holy religions from going on another killing spree....... While our current danger may be the festering of morality, the world's greatest danger is the proliferation of cults, all of which require one of the best meanings of life to point the finger at the heart of the matter.

The best meaning of life is not to seek fame and fortune or to devote oneself to superstition, but to be truly happy ......Only by making life better for oneself and others through continual study of wisdom and correction of words and deeds can one then achieve true and lasting happiness!

(This is perhaps what Professor Ji Xianlin in the East and Dr. Toynbee in the West coincidentally suggest, that it is up to Chinese culture to save this war-torn and strife-torn world in the future! I am Le Chi, an oddball in love with Chinese culture.)
