Questions about the logic of thinking of Chinese and Westerners

Different environments determine that people have different characteristics.

China is a self-sufficient agricultural country that "stays in the green mountains and is not afraid of no firewood", and such an environment has caused the Chinese to be magnanimous, benevolent, rigorous, self-respecting and self-loving; Most Western countries are close to water, and people are endowed with adventurous spirit, liberalism, and individualism.

To put it simply, I deeply feel that people's personality traits and thinking logic are very relevant to their geographical environment!!

Not necessarily, it can be regarded as a kind of difference between China and the West! Just like Chinese parents always like to restrain their children, while Western parents like to let their children play on their own.

This is a Chinese slang word halo is like the English hi jack means hijacking, not hello jack, and has nothing to do with logic!

⊙o⊙)…It's simple. No, because Westerners also speak badly behind other people's backs.

Eastern and Western cultures have their own characteristics, and the left and right brains have different functional ......

Hehe. This is because of regional and linguistic differences. So the meaning of the expression is different.

It's not a matter of logical thinking!

Westerners, complex things are simplified, if two people have different opinions, you can sit down and talk face-to-face, so that the opinions are as unified as possible, and after the negotiation is dealt with together, such a straightforward personality greatly improves the efficiency of work.

Chinese people (not all), simple things are complicated, if the two disagree, they are very peaceful on the surface, and seem to respect each other's opinions, but as soon as they turn around, they attack each other behind their backs, making things more and more complicated, such a vicious character often makes the work can not be carried out smoothly, and most of the time it will make both sides lose, and it is not good to hurt people at the same time. This cannot but be heart-wrenching.

Therefore, this is a question of ideology, a question of quality, and a nation with a narrow heart and extremely aggressive is destined to take many detours. Therefore, first of all, we should change our thinking and revolutionize our minds; In order for the Chinese nation to be truly strong and respected by the people of the world, it is necessary to get rid of the bad roots of the nation and thoroughly get rid of all kinds of bad behaviors such as dirty, disorderly, noisy, selfish, disunited, and infighting.

We should indeed learn from the peoples of the West! Learn their minds and their way of doing things.

Not necessarily, there are similar expressions in English that mean saying bad things behind your back.

The first thing to distinguish is the difference:

Generally speaking, university textbooks on intercultural communication generally have these four points:

a.Chinese collectivism, Western individualism.

b.Chinese culture has a very high avoidance of uncertainties, while the West is less sensitive to this aspect.

c.The distance between social rights in China is very large, and that of the West is small.

d.Masculinity and feminism prevail to varying degrees.

The detailed differences are listed below:

1. Chinese have a strong sense of class, while the West has a strong sense of race, but Europeans seem to have a significantly stronger class consciousness than Americans, and Australians are more similar to the United States (history and culture), although their English is closer to the British.

2. The concept of family in China and the West is different, China emphasizes responsibility, and the West emphasizes gratitude and the pursuit of personal happiness.

3. Westerners have a relatively high degree of tolerance for different ideas, while China emphasizes the unity of thought.

4. Chinese have good image thinking and poor theoretical thinking, while Westerners have slightly better logical thinking.

5. The West (not only the West) is more influenced by religious beliefs, although it is also moving towards secularization. Chinese mainland people are divided into three types - atheists - superstitious and rarely serious theists.

6. Due to the influence of popular culture originating from the United States, the 'modern culture' of the world has become more and more similar, for example, the whole world worships money and interests are paramount.

7. Chinese culture pays more attention to practicality, and is not interested in things that cannot bring benefits and benefits. There is a tradition of systematic exposition of philosophy in the West.

8. China's evaluation of people is relatively simple, and in individual cases, people pursue happiness and take into account others rather than their own feelings. In addition to judging people in the West by their achievements, people with different ideas are also popular in interpersonal interactions.

Therefore, through the above differences, four reasons can be summarized:

1. Regional differences due to different living environments.

2. Different access to subsistence materials and consumption channels.

3. Differences in political structures shaped by the overall ruling structure.

4. The difference in moral system formed by the difference in the political system of the ruined banquet.

5. Long-term historical evolution.

The Chinese's way of thinking is based on synthesis, that is, combining different things, such as the Taijitu Westerners' way of thinking, which is based on analysis, that is, taking things apart, looking at them one by one, in fact, this way of thinking can be [integrated] together, specifically, in the basic parts such as [basis], mainly based on the Chinese's [thinking] way;

In the deductive part such as "analysis", the "way of thinking" of Westerners is the mainstay.

The Chinese way of thinking is mainly fuzzy thinking, and the Western way of thinking is mainly precise thinking.

Chinese like to summarize complex problems into simple problems.

Westerners like to deconstruct and analyze problems.

The way of thinking of combining China and the West is dialectical thinking, and Chinese pay too much attention to dialectical unity, and Westerners pay too much attention to dialectical opposites.

Difference Between Subjective Thinking and Objective Thinking.

Personally, I feel that the emergence of science is accidental, but the first appearance in Western countries is inevitable.

The Industrial Revolution is the same, but the future of the planet still belongs to the Chinese.

Chinese thinking is to look up the dictionary when encountering problems; The Western way of thinking is that I just have to look it up outside the dictionary--- I'm just different.

The British are old-fashioned; Americans are open-minded and have strong associations; Germans are detail-oriented.

Chinese, if you are influenced by too many rules,,, more specific ones will not help you.

Westerners are too open-minded Chinese thinking should be cautious and serious in analysis, and Westerners are too "bold" in thinking. Chinese analyze something for too long and will integrate into it, so in the past, ancient China was backward and addicted to poetry, so foreigners were developed.

The way of thinking of Chinese is influenced by Taoism, simply put, Chinese have stronger learning ability, structure and logic are in place.

Westerners have a more active and multi-faceted way of thinking, and they dare to take risks, guess and verify.

1。Different ways of thinking – abstract thinking versus imagery.

The language of thought is expressed in different ways – abstract and concrete.

Westerners pay more attention to abstract thinking, starting with Aristotle in ancient Greece, and have always focused on philosophical speculation.

However, the Han people tend to think figuratively, using figurative expressions to depict abstract concepts. At the language level, English mostly uses abstract expressions, and Chinese uses more visual expressions. English makes extensive use of abstract nouns, and at the same time, English is a conformational language, with a wealth of meaning-blurring means, such as affixes; English prepositions are used much more frequently than Chinese.

In Chinese, concrete forms are often used to abstract them. "If there are abstract terms in China, there are only a few of them." At the same time, the Chinese language does not have a conformational form.

There are different thinking styles – focus thinking vs. scattered thinking.

There are different linguistic expressions – gathering and dispersing.

When the British people express their ideas, they are logical, first stating the main ideas, and then extending them.

English sentences begin by stating the main message, followed by other supporting information, such as time, place, and reason. English has a rigorous subject-verb structure, and the subject-verb structure dominates the overall situation and outlines. An English sentence is like a tree that extends from its trunk to form countless branches.

As a result, English sentence patterns are "clustered". The Han people are scattered thinking, thinking is arranged according to logical facts, chronological order, and causality, such as flowing clouds and water, but scattered and concentrated, "It does not have the central verb of Western sentences, but with the process of affairs, the point of view in syntax also flows."

Albert Einstein, the greatest physicist of our time, once said: "The development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the system of formal logic by the Greek philosophers and the discovery of the possibility of finding causal relationships through systematic experiments."

It seems to me that it is not surprising that the Chinese sages did not take these two steps. It would be amazing if all these discoveries were made in China. [1] The history of the development of science and technology in the West tells us:

More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Greek scholar Aristotle absorbed nutrients from geometry to establish a formal logic system, which has always been a powerful tool of Western natural science, because of this, later generations named Aristotle's logical work "Instrumental Theory", Aristotle himself was honored as the "father of logic" in the West, and in the historical period of more than 1,000 years, it was worshiped by Westerners as a god. In the European Renaissance, due to the rise of experimental natural science, it also contributed to the birth of inductive logic that explores causal connections, and since then, inductive logic has become an important part of logical science, and inductive logic, as an important method of scientific understanding, has in turn played a powerful role in promoting the development of modern natural science. Because of this, the founder of inductive logic, the seventeenth-century English philosopher Francis.

Bacon is recognized as the ancestor of experimental science. Westerners are deeply aware of the important role of logic in the development of science, so the Encyclopedia Britannica lists it at the top of the five major disciplines, and the subject classification compiled by UNESCO ranks it second among the seven basic disciplines. In contrast, the position of logic in China is indeed very pitiful.

The development of science has led Westerners to attach importance to logic.

The Western way of thinking focuses on rationality and objectivity. For example, when Westerners see a river, they will observe the river as an objective object, and then analyze it, such as why the river water comes from, why there is river water, why and the water flows in a certain direction, and then define it, once it is defined, the so-called "river" has a certain meaning, and cannot be other meanings. In the future, whenever you see a river, you will inevitably correspond to the concept of the word "river".

Oriental thinking is perceptual thinking. For example, when Oriental people see the river, they think that the river flows endlessly, just like the years, and never return, so Confucius will "look at the river and sigh", and when he sees the river flowing to the east, he will think that life is like a river, there must be a certain destination, and the sun and the moon are endless, and then he thinks that he should work hard like the river and move towards the purpose of his life.

Therefore, Westerners often say that Orientals are irrational and not objective, but in fact, Westerners do not know how to put their deep love into all things in the world, and as a result, utilitarianism and consumerism seriously damage the earth and destroy the ecology. Of course, if we only talk about feelings, it is not right, we must have both affection and rationality, then we can have a more comprehensive way of thinking.

In terms of layout, the rooms of various different uses are always divided into a number of single buildings, and each single building has the garden architecture in the Western classical garden, which takes the method of Western classical architecture, and it puts a variety of rooms with different functional uses.

Language is the expression of thought. The similarities and differences between Chinese and English (mainly English) can be said to show good differences from a linguistic perspective. Chinese is tortuous and euphemistic, English is concise and intuitive.

The former is subjective and logical. One focuses on meaningful results, and the other focuses on process analysis. Simply, a meaning is said in Chinese, there can be a subject or no subject, there can be a keyword or no keyword, but to express it in English, there must be a subject and the only subject, and the second subject in the form will be processed as a clause subject, reflected as a subject-verb-object.

There is also a small story, an American came to China on the same flight there was a Chinese who returned from studying abroad, and the international student said that he was the son of such and such a minister, and there would be a convoy to pick him up. Americans believe in this fact and admire this minister's son, who does not fly in business class, but does not ** PMP or something. But then I learned that this person was not nonsense at all, and finally this international student later developed in China and needed to cooperate with the international company where the American worked, and the American thought that this international student had no credit.

In addition, an American who came to China to study met a Chinese who went to the United States on a flight back to the United States, and the American said that he was the son of a minister, and the Chinese thought to himself that this person was really ridiculous. Later, it was discovered that this American was really the son of a certain minister, and then when the two sides cooperated in business, the Americans believed what the Chinese believed, and the result can be imagined. End of story.

Westerners believe that the first thing to do is to give credit to the person and treat the person with kindness. But once he finds out that you are not trustworthy, he will not believe you no matter what you do in the future. And the Chinese are suspicious at first, innate suspicion, but then find out that you did not lie to him, at least for a long time he will believe what you say.

But the funny thing is that many Chinese believe that human nature is inherently good, and Western human nature is inherently evil, when in fact...

The current situation is that many foreigners have adapted to this mode of thinking in China, and the day before yesterday I saw a foreigner riding a battery car holding a Chinese girl running a red light (the tram in Chengdu is not allowed to carry people, not to mention running the red light), you can imagine these business methods in China, what pits, Mongolia and the like were taken by foreigners, and the consequences are really serious.
