The reasons for the differences between Chinese and western aesthetic essence discussions

First, the main external manifestations of cultural differences between China and the West

1, with different legal concepts, China people pay more attention to restraining themselves with morality and etiquette, and improve their self-cultivation through the teaching of their predecessors. This is the biggest shortcoming that leads to personality independence. For westerners, they feel that people's primitive desires should not be suppressed, but can be restrained by political institutions or organizations, but morality is subordinate.

2. There are differences in treating people and things. China people have the habit of introspection and attach great importance to self-cultivation, but they are very conservative and lack the spirit of innovation and enterprising. Westerners are very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, and usually take serving the society as what they should do.

Second, the main reasons for cultural differences between China and the West

From the perspective of culture and geography, the world can be divided into two regions, namely the East and the West, and there are many factors that lead to cultural differences between them, as follows:

First of all, the economic system is a very influential factor. The "agricultural civilization character" makes the orientals pay attention to ethics, seek common ground while reserving differences, seek stability, and take "harmony is the most precious and forbearance is the highest" as the principle of life. Europeans like to explore outward, and their culture is extroverted. Moreover, after the industrial revolution, western countries entered the era of industrial economy very early. The "industrial civilization character" makes westerners have a strong spirit of struggle and legal awareness of safeguarding their own interests, and takes independence, freedom and equality as the principles.

Secondly, influenced by the geographical environment. The closed geographical environment of the mainland limits China people's thinking to the mainland. They are good at summing up the experience and lessons of their predecessors, and like to learn from history, but their spatial awareness is weak. This introverted thinking leads China people to pursue stability and tranquility, lacking curiosity about new things and interest in the unknown. Most western countries are in an open marine geographical environment with developed industry, commerce and navigation. Since ancient Greece, there has been a tradition of paying attention to studying natural objects and exploring natural mysteries.

At the same time, the mountain wind, tsunami and the turbulence of the marine environment also constitute the personality of western nations that pay attention to space expansion and military conquest.
