What are the unchangeable things in China people's ideas and behavior patterns?

The formation of China people's way of thinking is closely related to the unique culture for thousands of years. China culture has two fundamental characteristics, one is the worship of saints. The history of China for thousands of years is actually a history of autocracy and anti-autocracy. Political rule is autocratic. All kinds of infighting, turmoil and wars are all because of overthrowing one autocracy, but whether it is successful or not, the purpose is still to establish another autocracy and even to continue the ultra-stable form of ancient countries. Politics is not only contained in culture, but also above it. It drives the classic car of culture, and lets it follow its own old road in an appropriate way. Autocratic politics must be "loyal to the monarch", and under the rule of culture, it must be "in a word" and "oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone" as the inevitable logic. Later, after numerous repression, encirclement and suppression, and killings, heresy was in full swing, and heresy was almost eliminated, and the "established path" thinking of Chinese people's "worship of saints" finally became the main vein.

China people's narrow way of thinking of worshipping saints is a deep-seated social phenomenon and a systematic objective existence. There can't be a big change in a short time. A clear understanding of this feature will help to correctly promote the overall reform of China (analysis in another article). China people's way of thinking: "Each has its own beauty, beauty, beauty and * * *, and the world is one." The people of China hope to achieve harmony for all and harmony for all. This fully embodies China's way of thinking in interpersonal communication, and provides a path for modern scholars to deeply understand China's way of thinking.

In ancient books, there is a similar summary: "misfortune is the foundation of happiness;" Happiness lies in misfortune "and" a blessing in disguise ". Western ideas tend to think absolutely independently. The core of China people's thinking is to admit that the opposing sides can change each other.

On the basis of this tradition, it is necessary to study the way of thinking of China people from two levels. First of all, what problems can this study theoretically solve? The research in this field needs to explain how culture profoundly affects China people's psychology and then their behavior; Secondly, what can this study show in practice? Nowadays, many people have commented that China people lack creativity, and emerging science has not appeared in China. In fact, China people have long recognized these problems.

The Book of Changes hindered the development of modern science and technology in China, and caused a heated debate. Some people criticized and others agreed. Research shows that psychology supports this view to some extent. According to the results of psychological research, China people look at problems from a holistic and related perspective, and lack the will, ability and skills to distinguish problems from the overall background, so they cannot make further classification. China people have long recognized the remote force, but they are not good at distinguishing and classifying it in detail, so it is impossible to produce new disciplines such as electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, and it is even more impossible to conduct a more in-depth and detailed study on it.

This paper studies three factors of China people's way of thinking: from the goal, China people hope to achieve harmony; From the perspective of cognition and process, China people look at the problem as a whole; In terms of behavior, China people adopt a compromise approach when dealing with problems. China people's dialectical thinking should also include three dimensions: contradictory ideas, and China people's thinking recognizes contradictory ideas; Cognitive change, from the perspective of cognitive orientation, China people admit change; Behavior changes, and people in China think that people's behavior will also change. China people like to look at problems from the perspective of contact, admit changes, accommodate contradictory ideas, pursue harmony in dealing with interpersonal relationships, and adopt a compromise approach in dealing with problems.

The essence of "thinking around purpose" is a kind of systematic thinking, which evaluates and weighs all possible development and change states (results) of things in advance, finds the best development and change states (results) as the selection criteria, and then determines the subject's value judgment and behavior basis. I realized that "thinking around purpose" can do a lot (everything? ) things, from the development and progress of the country to the survival and life of individuals, have been deeply and rationally thought, which can not only sort out the entangled big theoretical problems and simplify them, but also benefit from sorting out daily chores, making the heavy and difficult thinking transformation problem easier, more convenient and more affordable.

Five themes of China people's way of thinking

Gan chunsong

With the rise of China, people pay more and more attention to the thinking characteristics of China people. Similarly, the enhancement of cultural self-confidence brought by economic development also makes us begin to discuss the relationship between China culture and China economic miracle.

Although our attitude towards traditional culture is still very complicated, such complexity itself shows that we have bid farewell to those simple attitudes that deny traditional culture. We can talk about cultural China calmly.

Cultural problems, reflected in everyone's life, are the problems of ways of thinking. Different forms of civilization are actually the condensation of different ways of thinking. Western, Indian, China, Arabian and many other different types of wisdom have developed in the long years. In the past, when we described the characteristics of China's philosophy, we generally liked to talk about the so-called comparison between Chinese and Western civilizations because of the strong cultural position of the West. In fact, Indian culture and Islamic culture are also important parts of world civilization. If we look at the culture of China from a pluralistic perspective. On this premise, this paper thinks that the way of thinking of China people can be described from the following five aspects.

First, the harmony between man and nature.

The theme of China's philosophy is the relationship between man and nature, but the relationship between man and nature in China's philosophy cannot simply correspond to the relationship between man and nature. "The so-called heaven, not simply refers to the objective nature, but embodies the content of human nature, embodies the specific social ideal and value pursuit; The so-called man does not simply refer to human society, but includes the imitation of objective nature and the understanding of the harmonious laws of the universe. ..... Because China's philosophy discusses the relationship between heaven and man, and its purpose is to derive a concept that can be applied to personnel.

Wang Zhidao is a saint, so theory and practice are inseparable. "

Specifically, due to the different understanding of heaven, heaven, man and human nature, the understanding of the relationship between man and nature is also diverse and humane. To achieve the realm of "Taoism is natural", it is necessary to "not destroy the sky with people" Yes For example, Taoism believes that heaven does nothing,

For Confucianism, the unity of heaven and man has two meanings, namely, the connection between heaven and man and the similarity between heaven and man. In Confucianism's view, the so-called harmony between man and nature is actually to understand heaven from a human perspective. Take the view of Meng Si School as an example. The Doctrine of the Mean says that "the nature of destiny means Tao, the nature of temperament means Tao, and the nature of cultivation means teaching", which means that heaven is the origin of human nature. But how to understand the sky, or to return to the "people's heart." Mencius said: "those who try their best know their nature;" If you know its nature, you will know its nature. "This seems to be a circular argument, but in essence Confucianism takes people as the starting point for understanding the universe.

The similarity between man and nature is a viewpoint in Han Dynasty, and the typical expression is "man is superior to nature". This view understands the internal harmony between man and nature as the direct correspondence between man and nature. For example, Dong Zhongshu said: "The number of days is 366. Twelve points in a large section, and the number of months is also. The five internal organs also assist the number of five elements. There are limbs outside, and the hours are also four. " This statement corresponds to the construction of specific political legitimacy in the Han Dynasty, so it has not become China people's concern about the relationship between heaven and man.
