----Difference between Chinese and Western Cultures
Chinese culture is the only culture which can be against western culture in modern world. The other culture, such as Egypt, India, Islam and Buddhism and so on, are hopeless to be the main stream culture of the world. However, western culture and Chinese culture are both in danger at the moment.
The danger of western culture is “danger of aim”, because the western countries have developed in their total term. However, western countries have their economical advantages to obtain the lifelessness of the society. In fact, the true nature of “mankind” results in the case. The westerners emphasize privacy and individuality, no matter how the man is. Max had ever showed that the property made by capitalism in over 100 years (including spirit property) was over more than all the property made before. Nowadays, western world has much progress in many elements of “privacy” of mankind because of the development of society.
The fundament of western countries and systems still bases on “the nature of mankind’s privacy”. It results in many deep dangers in social culture. The most prominent is showed that the productive ability of western countries is rather developed, but the gap of income is larger day by day. The richer people make more money and the poor one is poorer.
In contrast of western countries, the danger of Chinese culture is “the danger of development”. China doesn’t develop totally in agriculture any more and it can not reach the require of social industrialization development in many cases. For example, competence, exchanges of markets and etc. Thus, it limits the development of industrialization. However, every society is possible to reach the modern society without practicing of the thorough industrialization. The reason is whether the society denies, rejects even disguise the nature of privacy of mankind. The most people of society are then contained in production, initiative of creation and active ability.
“Regardless of profits is the important reason of the tendency of Chinese culture’s going down!” Chinese pay attention to “harmony”, “middle” and it drive the agriculture’s development in ancient times. However, this culture is resisted to the social industrialization according to history development. For instance, we still broadcast LeiFeng’s spirit and pursue “contribution without profits”, etc. Though it’s good in the abstract, it’s bad in the concrete society. That’s why we talk about “LeiFeng” and contribution but the social atmosphere and social economy still worsened more and more.
How can we achieve the leap of industrialization in such situation! “Repelling competence” is the largest defect to our social culture. Of course, “the standard of competence” is the basic standard.
What we need to notice is that Chinese culture emphasize “harmony”, “love” and reach the target of “mankind’s harmony”. This is the fundamental marrow of our culture, so what we must do is attracting reasonable competence but keeping the old things. Then, “culture of Chinese” can not only get rid of the dangers, but also achieve the leap of industrialization fast and be the only main stream of cultures in the world!
