Cultural differences between China and the West

1, the ideological differences between people-oriented and god-oriented for the people

China: God is not only perfect, but also serves people. China's traditional culture has always talked about the idea that the world is for the public.

West: God is the master of mankind, and the thoughts of personality freedom and egoism dominate.

2. The difference between inclusive culture and exclusive culture

China: Culture is very inclusive, and harmonious culture is one of the important contents of traditional culture in China. And culture make China people always find win-win solutions when solving problems.

West: Xenophobic culture always falls into the dilemma of zero-sum game.

3. Different ways of thinking

China: The way of thinking is macroscopic, which enables China people to better grasp the overall situation. Generally speaking, China pays more attention to Confucianism, being polite and honest, being reserved at ordinary times, and paying more attention to etiquette when thinking about problems.

West: Good at micro-thinking and rigorous thinking, which is due to the micro-thinking mode, making the West enter the scientific society earlier. Generally, open thinking is advocated, and the way of thinking is very direct. The way of thinking pays more attention to some interests and is slightly individualistic.

4. Personal honor

China: Generally speaking, we don't advocate personal show-off, but personal pride is generally hidden, that is, even if we get great honor, we should show humility and advocate humility.

West: It's very personal to show personal honor. If you succeed, you will be ecstatic. If you fail, you will be angry. Is a very direct personality trait.

Step 5 look at nature

China: Accept uncertainty and imperfection. So it is also on the verge of mysticism and superstition.

West: Seeking the universal truth of all things through science/technology and striving for theoretical perfection.
