The Golden Mean and competitive spirit the Chinese regards one “and” the character, likes the doctrine of the mean, the harmony, the pursue “peaces is precious”; The American likes disputing, takes seriously competing. Looked from the human and the natural relations that the Confucianist culture stressed “the kernel” and “the ritual”, the pursue “the neutral position nurtures”, advocates “the savant spouse”. “life in nature”, “a world myriad things body”, regardless of therefore is the Confucianist, Taoism or the Buddhist, advocated that the cherishing natural resource, protects the ecological environment. “the inactivity” discusses is the father person Daoist temple primary coverage, henceforth the thought embarks, the father also proposed the manner gets along with people two principles; first, “does not dare for the world first”; Second, “makes concessions to achieve one's purpose”. Is precisely can only then cast this influence the Chinese conservative introversion the national disposition. Looks like in the American, the day and the human are the opposition, they stress on inquired about outward, thinks the human only then to defeat in the natural arduous struggle to be able mixed to obtain the survival development. The European puritanism principle thrifty, the competition and the arduous struggle spirit in develop in the new continent west bound movement to play the mainstay role particularly, but west bound movement in turn sculpture American's development potential, fairness, usability and competitiveness. Therefore some people thought that US's national spirit “is the border area product”. In the person and the person and the person and in society's relations, the Chinese culture which grew in the North temperate zone Huanghe River valley agriculture area has stepped from the very beginning onto the independent development path. Because receives this kind of environment the influence, the Chinese culture quite takes the internal harmony, easy to form the doctrine of the mean gentle nationality disposition. Kong Zi thought that everything should “hold its both sides to use in people”, therefore, “permitted in the execution”, “to go too far is as bad as not far enough” and so on thought then to become a posterity's moral. The western culture comes from Greece, Rome, is situated at the seashore and the offshore islands, from this has formed the oceanity commercial city culture. This culture intrinsic does not decide the financial circumstance urges the westerner quite to take spatial the expansion and conquers outward, looks at the world two body oppositions. Among similarly belongs to the Western culture category American not too to accept well distributed, they often are the rights and wrongs are clear, compared with strives for to propose something new and different happily. peaces is precious is the Confucianist “the Golden Mean” gets along with people the philosophy to exercise the national disposition, to obtain temperately with the compromise, in addition the clanlaw thought that the guardian idea's influence, the Chinese does not hug in the danger and the adverse circumstance not resentfully, displays docile disposition which bears with equanimity. For several thousand years, have the liyi tradition Chinese to be concerned about face-saving extremely in the way one treats people process, to speak the dignity. Because the face not only involves to personally in its relationship network status height, moreover involves greatly him the possibility which is accepted by others, also as well as possibly enjoys special authority, therefore in Chinese this human sentiment and in the relational orientation's society, “cares for somebody's feelings”, “does something for face” then becomes one with the individual self-respect close related important matter. But the Chinese egalitarianism disposition's formation both has the deep social class foundation, and has the glorious historical origin. "Confucian analects. Ji" “does not contract widowed, but contracts unevenly”, "Yan Child Spring and Autumn Period" “the even rich and poor” and so on economic thought that experiences has affected toward all previous dynasties until now. Therefore, the Chinese docile, is concerned about face-saving, the egalitarianism disposition characteristic, is in China traditional culture society's doctrine of the mean harmonious view and the interpersonal relationship possible arrangement. |
