Please talk about the main cultural differences between Japan and China.

1. Chinese and western cultures have different emphases on individuals and the whole society.

The four traditional virtues advocated by Aristotle focus on the subjective and changeable qualities necessary for individuals to pursue success and the control of will over life itself. Such as perseverance and temperance. Justice is about distribution. The west pays more attention to personal interests.

2. Chinese and western science and culture present different civilization backgrounds.

Scientific culture was born in the west. As early as in ancient Greece, the pursuit of pure knowledge and "useless" knowledge by freemen cultivated and shaped the curiosity and rational tradition of exploring natural secrets in western culture. The establishment, development and perfection of metaphysics provide beneficial thinking training for the further pursuit of establishing a strict and self-consistent logical system.

In the process of understanding and transforming the natural world, the people of China have also formed a civilized tradition with distinctive characteristics. Scientific culture based on different background colors is bound to be different, each with its own characteristics and strengths, and needs to communicate and learn from each other. It must be admitted that as far as modern science is concerned, China is backward. In particular, China needs to learn from the advanced western developed countries, carry forward the modern scientific spirit, be modest and sincere, and be willing to be a primary school student.

3. Different family cultures

China society attaches great importance to the concept of family, and the isomorphism of family and country is its typical feature. China pays more attention to family life and lacks collective life. When choosing between the collective and the individual, we often focus on the collective concept and organize the society with isomorphic ethics. It is precisely because of this that our country is called an "ethical" society.

Western society pays more attention to the development of individuality and insists on taking individuals as the basis of development, while the formation of a country pays more attention to the role of contracts. Westerners pay more attention to collective life than orientals, but their family values are relatively weak. They form a deterrent to individuals, unite society through religion, and guarantee their independent status and freedom rights, so they are called "individual-oriented" society.
