The Subjective Personality of China Traditional Culture

From the perspective of cultural comparison, the cover of China culture has a very strong personality, which can be seen from the following aspects:

(A) China culture alone, slowly formed, not from him. On the contrary, such as Japanese culture and American culture, we should learn from others.

(2) China culture has its own characteristics (such as the special structure of characters, such as the so-called special legal system in law, etc.), and has its own system, which is very different from other cultures. At first, there were all the differences and similarities between this culture and that culture. It is generally acknowledged that China, India and the West are tied for the three major cultural systems in the world, but they have their own systems because of their great differences.

(3) Ancient cultures, such as Egypt, Babylon, India, Persia, Greece, etc. The nations that have lagged behind China in history have either perished, changed hands or lost their independent national life. Only China can live an independent national life with her own culture, but today she is living alone.

(4) From the past history of China, the ability to assimilate others in culture is the greatest. For foreign cultures, we can also tolerate and absorb them, and don't shake and change them from the beginning.

(5) Because of its great assimilative power, it can absorb some foreign nationalities from neighboring countries and merge into a huge Chinese nation. This means that China's culture not only lasts for the longest time, but also cannot be extended in space (China's culture forms a large unit society, accounting for a huge number of people in the world). (6) In its long life course, China culture has hardly changed or progressed in the last period (the last year of 2000), which seems to indicate that it has a high degree of suitability and harmony internally and has reached the stage of cultural maturity.

(7) The influence of China cultural radiation on the surrounding areas is far-reaching and enormous. North to Siberia, south to Nanyang Islands, east to Korea and Japan, west to the west of Qingji, all within its cultural circle of influence. Its neighbors, such as Vietnam and North Korea, are impregnable; A little farther away, like Japan, such as Siam, Myanmar and Thailand live in China culture. As far away as Europe, tracing the origin of its modern civilization is also deeply influenced by China. Modern civilization began in the Renaissance of 14, 5th and 6th centuries. The Renaissance really benefited from the spread of some material inventions in China, such as papermaking and printing, as its material basis. Moreover, the so-called enlightenment era and rational era in 17 and 18 centuries all took China Thought (especially Confucianism) as their spiritual source.
