mankind is entering an era of globalization. In globalization, we are the West know much more of the world. We know that modern China is behind and beaten. So we come, \So we now have in our class, make up economic development, complement science lessons of democracy. However, we do not realize is that in our efforts to integrate into the global system, we have consequences for China itself, especially for China's own culture, more and did not recognize it. Therefore, we need to talk about Chinese culture, we are talking about it, in order to better understand ourselves, understand the advantages of our Chinese culture. At the same time, we talk about Chinese culture, but also because it and the thrust of this article has great relevance, we will discuss later in the strategic thinking of Chinese, Chinese-style diplomacy, the Chinese-style layout of a draw strokes, and Chinese culture are attractive to many, or even directly originated from Chinese culture. So, if not talk about Chinese culture directly into the back of the subject, we will find the center of a fault, many things will only see the surface but not the essence, for many phenomenon will be baffled, for many problem will not know what it is exactly known, however.
Some may think that the Chinese culture is very vague thing, in fact, it is very specific. Specific to the martial arts, medicine, poetry and painting, Merlin bamboo flowers, poetry, opera, Kun Opera, tea, food, ornamental stone, fish, ceramics, miniature sculptures, paper cutting, paper lanterns, couplets, riddles, etc., which can see the Chinese culture and see the charm of Chinese culture to. However, if you want to ask: What is the Chinese culture in the end? The charm of Chinese culture, Chinese culture, Where is the superiority? I am afraid that very few people can speak clearly, said prospective.
not only the charm of Chinese culture, but also very mysterious. Because many of the issues related to Chinese culture is difficult to answer, many scholars have been puzzled for this. Shown here, a few relatively large or widespread problem:
- 5000 Chinese culture is not fractured. The other three ancient civilizations in the world, its culture have disappeared. In addition to the pyramids of Egypt left behind, no longer see the traces of the ancient Egyptian; Aryan invasion of India, the original culture also disappeared; Babylon is apart from the two rivers, not left anything. The only Chinese culture endless and remains. Why?
- Chinese history repeated foreign invasion. Yuan Dynasty and the Qing conquest of China was the Chinese ethnic minorities, specifically, the military conquest are ethnic Chinese. However, as represented by the Han culture, Chinese culture has its own origins to attract these great conquerors, so that they voluntarily assimilated voluntarily into the Chinese culture. Not the profound Chinese culture and insist that China probably does not exist long ago; the absence of Chinese culture, its vitality, and can not absorb the conquerors, extending five years. So why such a powerful Chinese culture assimilation capacity and vitality?
- Why there are four great inventions of ancient China, but modern science has not in China? Why does the Chinese-developed high-end manufacturing, but very well-developed handicraft? Our predecessors worked for 200 years, beginning from the Li industry in efforts to achieve modernization, we introduced a movement from the 54 scientific spirit, our reform and opening up, there are already nearly 30 years, we are fully committed wholeheartedly to catch up However, the level of today's car manufacturers still lag behind South Korea, behind the United States, behind Japan, but behind the German. Why is this?
- Chinese daily life, work attitude, temperament, ideas, why has the self-preservation, indifference, contentment, content with, careless, casual, or a hermit demeanor, Ranger temperament, the spirit of Ah Q, all The still lively splash of there, Why is this?
If these problems are not clear, we will feel very confused, we are the location of the Chinese nation in the world and the situation will not be clear, should the situation there is no way to grasp world culture. If the value of Chinese culture is unknown, and it will shake the faith, it would lack the confidence to play the role. Because it confused the Chinese mind and body can not be settled, many Chinese people are in a distraught state, and culture confused about this.
Therefore, we have to talk about Chinese culture, we should talk about its essence. In fact, Chinese culture is profound, even if just talk about it a little, we also need a book or even multi-volume book length. So, let's talk about the core characteristics of Chinese culture. Tracing the source then we'll see these features the origin and development of the context, from here we can clearly see the origins of Chinese thinking. We have thus successfully answered a few questions in front.
First of all, Chinese culture is also one of the most primary one of the most important feature is the \What does that mean? Is the Chinese and the Chinese people in temperament and emotional aspects of the most developed. Temperament are people and individuals, between man and nature, and emotions are human, between human beings and society. Of course, sometimes we do not strictly distinguish between the two.
temperament but from the heart, from \This disposition is independent, self-appreciation, and leisurely; then outside into natural things that make such disposition is even more subtle and more profound. For example, only the talents of \. Chinese poetry is lyrical, impressionistic painting in China, and China's Qin is the direct spiritual. Merlin bamboo chrysanthemum has its own spirit, poetry and painting has its own temperament. Chinese food is the richest and most luxurious, the Chinese pay attention to color, smell and taste, the perfect unity of form. Of Chinese tea called \Only with a temperament to be \The reason why China's ceramic fine, because it is the emotional and producer-one correspondence is with nature, with a charm. The reason why China has exquisite embroidery, but also because it implies a delicate feelings of Chinese people. China's landscape, buildings, pavilions and parks, to name corresponds to the Chinese refined elegance of mind and emotion. Chinese aesthetics is the disposition of: when one thing and one's disposition, nature of mind and a soul, it will produce the Chinese beauty; only then generated a Chinese-style beauty.
If the Chinese culture this \

Yoga can also be seen as a religion, but is not a simple religious beliefs, but their ultimate human potential pursuit. Indian culture, \
Chinese culture will be \We often say \Chinese culture, \Moreover, most Chinese people seem to pursue such emotional and psychological needs.

us to classification, not to say that Westerners only physical needs, rather than psychological and spiritual needs; or only the spiritual needs of Indians; or psychological needs of the Chinese people only. But only that these three groups, they focused in their pursuit of the area and needs; also in that their culture in their respective areas reached the extreme.
physical culture is bound to the (natural) sciences, there will be significant development. Because science is divorced from human feelings and beliefs exist. Explain the material world is the cold pursuit of science is necessary for science. Strict formal logic and the axioms and theorems systems are born in the West, because it is necessary for the expression of the physical world, or even the birth of modern science instruments on the basis of the conditions. If we recognize the West in the \
China's nature to some extent culture determines the birth of China can not be the first system of axioms and theorems, because the Chinese people express the needs of nature greatly overshadowed the needs of the expression of the material world. Four Great Inventions of Ancient China also, some people have statistics, in 2000, many years before the Qing Dynasty, China has been the invention of the world's largest. But none of the invention is based on the system of axioms and theorems come. Abstract properties of this expression, it seems fundamentally on the nature and the Chinese expression of conflict. Expression of temperament is not abstract but concrete, is internal, but also outside of the. Most of the Chinese invention is based on observation and experience from the observation that the external nature of the basic means of expression. Chinese temperament is so exquisite, the Chinese people also become very subtle observation ability. Therefore, in astronomy, calendar, high levels of achievement in the medical and scientific inventions in a number of achievements is also very natural. However, China should stop, and it determines the nature of the material will not be dissected, analyzed and summarized and reasoning. In Chinese eyes, the external things is a whole flower is a flower, the tree is a tree, the Chinese are not accustomed to these things and then break it down, because it has no sense of beauty. TCM is a whole body study, it is a sophisticated \and \Therefore, China is unlikely to come to the birth of the anatomy, and anatomy is a cornerstone of modern Western medicine. Therefore, China has no logical system and the birth of abstract justice system, speaking from the cultural roots is a very natural about everything. This is why the birth of modern science in China is not the reason.
Why is the Chinese culture to \Or that such disposition of the Chinese culture is the root cause of what?
temperament of the Chinese culture can be traced back to China in which shape the natural environment and geographical environment. Nature is the first sculptor culture. Different locations on Earth countries or cultures are very different, which can be found from natural causes.
China is called \China is basically in the middle of the equator and the Arctic, the highest in eastern Eurasia, the Pacific West Coast, winter and summer activities of high and low pressure centers and changed significantly, monsoon is strongest, the most extensive scope. East Asian monsoon circulation to the apparent change in atmospheric motion. Unlike China's vast subtropical regions, as in many parts of the world show the same latitude as the desert or dry grassland, and because the summer monsoon season brings abundant in high rainfall, the formation of warm and humid climate, a world-renowned agricultural developed areas. China because of its geographic location, resources, moderate, climate, farming timely nature of the gift the Chinese nation, a point not count on a lot. You have to go to hard-working operation, intensive, on a budget, but also good weather, to live a proper life. Call China, whether accidental or natural causes, are extremely reasonable.

basic to human needs, physical needs is to meet the psychological needs after the transition, the psychological need to meet again after the spiritual needs of the transition. India (ancient) as adequate material resources, quickly entered the spiritual needs; China, because the supply of appropriate material resources, but just into the emotional needs of the pursuit; and Western Europe through the efforts of thousands of years, always to achieve the satisfaction of material needs (Christian, it was later passed in from the outside world. But we still see Western Europe as the \This basic structure has an important influence have occurred, because the natural shape of the human population so that the root culture cells has been set down there. the condition of the natural environment
modest resources, the decision of the Chinese nation for such a \Concept of culture, there is a need for the middle, that is \Chinese people pay attention to balance and stress moderation. Season should be moderate, the best spring and autumn; food and clothing should be appropriate and the best health; emotions to fit neither overjoyed nor compassion, to feel comfortable; man to be fair, to be able to live in the middle of such a neutral position. Chinese people around, up and down, around, yin and yang, the surrounding words are very sensitive to such position, which corresponds to a word \Therefore, some scholars have suggested that China's philosophy is \\\This sub-row, you can determine their position between left and right, to find the third way. \This concept laid the basic Chinese cultural style. Today the road of social development, China is walking in the middle; in human needs, China has to go in the middle. World culture of central China, set down the basic tune. Chinese culture in the world potential basic set down the general direction of China's cultural development, and remains so.
natural to lay the foundation for culture, but also can change from the sun, moon, seasons, summer and winter storms affecting the food, clothing, housing, farming has drawn experience, we know from the climate cycle, the cycle of life. Cultural values molded by nature, has given us the family unit of production to the cycle of our philosophy to \From the formation of a series of cultural values, we can see that the stability of farming, a one of stability, the stability of the entire Chinese society, the whole history of stability. Can see the recorded history of Chinese culture since the year 3000, the same strain, the absolute stability. We also see that Chinese people needs, emotional needs, is an environment which give rise to a kind of coping styles and ideas most of pertinent systems, most appropriate and correct, and this factor was continued down, determine the basic direction of Chinese culture.
Chinese culture, we say that the \In fact, the Chinese people's pursuit of emotion is extremely rich and highly individual. First reason is China's territory is very vast, it has great latitude and longitude on the Difference. If the geographical latitude determines the cultural differences in \China in the north and south in latitude 49 degrees on up to as much as on the East-West longitude span of up to 60 degrees as much, such a span is the richness of Chinese culture and diversity has also reached the extreme. On the other hand, China's total global geographic \The cultural characteristics of stability and cultural richness of the content, in turn determines the Chinese culture is very strong vitality.
Chinese people's quality of life may not be high, because we just right only to natural resources, but the Chinese people's \This quality of life due to the quality of Chinese culture, from the nature of Chinese culture developed. Ordinary Chinese people can temperament in the hands of farmland in the hands of landscape in the hands of paper-cuts and lanterns in the hands of folk, while others can read further disposition in the hands of poetry, poetry and painting.
then this is the nature of Chinese culture to be saved, how to be developed, how it has been extended?
this to talk about the carrier of Chinese culture - the Chinese language is \and cultural systems, and various arts and folklore.
we all know, the Chinese written language - Chinese character is a pictograph, but also a combination of sound and meaning form the text. Because of this characteristic of Chinese characters in the wisdom of the Chinese culture, memory, understanding and way of thinking has a major contribution. Chinese characters in the expression of human nature aspect is just right, because the classical Chinese culture - quatrains, verses, words, are the only characters to carry the. Character was created only a \The world could not find other words to have such elegant art. Chinese also had couplets, riddles this widely appealing folk customs. So, that Chinese culture is the most appropriate and most doing my carrier is not excessive.
Chinese characters is very stable, only four or five thousand words, thousands of years has not changed much. This stability of the stability of Chinese culture played a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the cultural unity of the country have played an invaluable role. On the other hand, based on Chinese characters in Chinese, but also flexible, which is reflected in a wide variety of dialects throughout. Although the dialect may cause communication difficulties, but if ancient Beijing (Mandarin), modern Putonghua, which can greatly reduce communication barriers. Dialect is not so bad thing, it is a manifestation of the vitality of Chinese. We sometimes hear the local dialect of the pieces that are interesting, sometimes I feel better to listen to Cantonese songs. Speaking from a philosophical point of view, things are always developing and changing, no hard and fast things will eventually die. The Chinese, through the character's stability and the diversity and richness of speech been able to maintain its vitality.
group of Chinese Characters capacity is very strong word, and easy to remember, and it can adapt to changing times. Only Chinese can produce as \China, who know the \The letters written in English, can not have that capacity. Of course, some people speak English also has roots in the word-building based on, but the root is not complete signifying system, how could such as the Chinese ideographic system so complete flexibility to form words then? Friends who learned English, you can very easily say these words you nickname? You can say all kinds of fruits, trees, chemical terms of the word it? Even the English people, I am afraid that is not easy. Between these words in English, even if the same kind of things, such as the various \You have life and life to remember that these unrelated words. Back over some deeply understands the word friend. The number of words in English? How there are hundreds of thousands, right? Who can remember such a large vocabulary it? In fact, with the development of the times, with the things and the increase in the amount of information, such as letters in English text will become more and more overwhelmed, even though they will evolve, but can not change their fate to become cumbersome. The only character has been so simple, so comfortable with, so full of vitality.
the one hand, Chinese characters is stable; the other hand, based on Chinese literature and art and other art,and has been, at different times, have different forms, and reached a very high altitude and achievements. Qin prose, Han Fu, Tang poems, Song Ci, Yuan drama, the Ming and Qing novels, these art forms are all in their own dynasty reached its peak, a common breed brilliant wonderful work of Chinese literature and art. The world can find such a text, so that the culture of literature and What?
If you want to in-depth inquiry of Chinese language why this magic charm with the underlying causes of so it will take a linguistics paper to elaborate on the. Due to space limitations, I will not start. The vitality of language speaking, Chinese language is undoubtedly the most outstanding. If, after many years of human evolution through \If human beings really have a unified future Esperanto, I think it must be Chinese. Because only the Chinese, in essence, have this excellent quality.
some of the so-called scholars even proposed to allow the removal of square Chinese characters, into the West, a phonetic system, if so, it must be a disaster and tragedy of the Chinese nation! Will also be the largest in the history of mankind the human catastrophe!
