Why do westerners like to get down on one knee?
Cabin A: This question is so profound that experts can only give the answer that "this is an established practice in western culture, that is, habit, and it doesn't matter why". In fact, this just means that no matter how high the theocracy of Christian civilization is, human rights will still exist-one leg bows to the gods and the other leg is independent. No matter how arrogant the sociality is (for example, people are more and more dependent on the collective social state, paying homage to these abstract things, and it even requires people to be willing to be sacrifices on their altars), individual self-reliance and autonomy have been constantly calling for. Freedom, democracy and human rights in the modern west are the final result of this eternal appeal (and cultural gene). Creation is a very natural and independent human state, so natural science and modern civilization can be born in the west. On the contrary, China culture has never allowed to keep this appeal, while China culture requires to learn from ancestors and predecessors completely, and it is not allowed to have the slightest self-reliance and autonomy, and it is not allowed to have independent personality and soul. Whether facing hegemony (imperial power) or powerful theocracy (bandits and warlords), China people are deprived of their independent personality and soul-their legs bow down and there is no independence! Therefore, even with the model of western political civilization, we can enjoy the achievements of western natural science and technology, but we still can't appreciate China's unique scientific and technological achievements and political civilization-so far China is only the consumer of modern civilization, not the creator of modern civilization at all; Or a more rigorous expression should be: China only participates in the production of modern civilization and all consumption except political civilization!
