Comparison of Chinese and Western Internal Spiritual Culture

摘要

One kilogram and one centimeter, which temperature is higher? This is obviously a nonsensical question. A question that people with common sense will not bother to discuss. The reason is simple: artisans and centimeters are not in a unit of measurement at all. How can they be compared? Similar questions include Confucius and Plato, who is greater? Whose literary talents is better? Cao Xueqin and Shakespeare? Just like the topic that has always been talked about: Western culture and Chinese culture, which is more advanced? Culture itself contains measures of self-recognition. For example, Chinese culture places more emphasis on the self-cultivation and harmonious interaction with nature of the perceptual, while western culture is more focused on maximizing the efficiency of reason. In the new era, cultural people must clearly understand the pros and cons of the two cultures, and the essence of western culture which advocate universal values, while absorbing the valuable things in Chinese culture at the same time, can form a cultural accumulation in the history of mankind.
