Let me simplify, the modern history of the world began with the bourgeois revolution in England, when the center shifted from Asia to Spain, Portugal, and then to England.
So far, until the second series of industrial revolution, Britain is the center of the world, until the United States surpassed Britain in the second industrial revolution, the world began to become the United Kingdom, the United States double center, specifically in 1894, and then with the First World War as the boundary, Britain weakened, the United States became the new center of the world, after World War II, the central position of the United States has been unprecedentedly strengthened,-- until now, the center of world civilization in history, has been in a state of migration, once Greece, India, the reality of the United States, Europe. For nearly 500 years, the center of civilization, from the East to Europe, from Europe to the United States, the development of civilization needed war and peace, Hitler only saw war, not peace, which led to defeat, and the Americans seized the opportunity. The truly great civilization lies in the creation of a relatively perfect order that stimulates human creativity and imagination, rather than a brief period of economic glory, and one can imagine how much the relatively perfect order created by the United States Constitution more than a hundred years ago has played a role in the United States' dominance of the world.
Western civilization, up to the United States, has come to an end, and a more humanistic, natural Chinese civilization will reach its peak in the next 300 years. Scientific progress and economic development can be quantified, but the core of civilization, values and perfect order have not yet taken shape, and this is the biggest crisis in China today. The core of the future Chinese civilization will be built on the basis of the pre-Qin civilization 2,000 years ago, and the essence of the Western civilization can be reconstructed and widely absorbed, so as to build the foundation of the future civilization center.
What do the Chinese lack most? It's not money, it's not **, it's faith and order. The vast majority of the problems in today's society are the crisis and lack of faith and order, China's economy is in monopoly capitalism, politics is in the initial stage of socialism, people's thinking is in semi-colonial and semi-feudal, culture has to face the challenge of the Internet, the body has to face the challenge of pressure, and the leaders have to face the rupture between politics and economy, the disconnection between democracy and order, and the trouble of war and peace.
The biggest crisis between the common people and the ** lies in the lack of trust! This is the most terrible, the loss caused by this lack is far greater than the money, and it is also the root cause of China's big but not strong! Only by solving these most critical problems can Chinese civilization have a future, otherwise it will want to flood the Mongolian civilization for a while, come and go quickly.

China has always been holding on to 5,000 years, and the number 5,000 has been used many times, but civilization occurred in Egypt, as if there is research, but I say that my melons are almost as sweet.
Each place has its own advantages and disadvantages, civilization is considered civilization for countries with wars, there seems to be no record of how many years the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been fought, Moses is dead and still holding on to that, you see that the black people in the United States are all **, it's time for peace. China has developed a harmonious society. Hey, to put it bluntly, civilization takes place in primitive societies, and there is nothing without strife.
It seems that people only want food and clothing. On the contrary, there is no sustenance.

Now in the West, believe that in the near future it will be in the East!

The differences between Western civilization and Eastern civilization are as follows:
Western culture values law, repentance, and honesty. Rule the country according to law.
Administering and doing things according to law has long been the consensus and habit of the Social Hunger Circle. Westerners have the character of correcting when they know their mistakes, being consistent with their words and deeds, and doing what they say.
Western culture is one that emphasizes personal fulfillment.
Oriental culture focuses on etiquette, hierarchy of power, and camaraderie. Giving gifts and bribes, buying and selling official positions, and abusing power for personal gain have long become unspoken rules and habits in society. Oriental people have the character of being hardworking, insincere, saying one thing and doing another.
Western culture focuses on lawfulness, repentance, and honesty and trustworthiness. Governing the country according to law, administering according to law, and doing things according to law have long become a social consensus and habit. Westerners have the character of correcting when they know their mistakes, being consistent with their words and deeds, and doing what they say.
The East chooses to live an orderly life under the rules (Heavenly Dao), pays attention to the overall situation and then talks about personality, so the personality of the Oriental people is relatively introverted.
The West chooses to live a life blessed by technology on the basis of individuality, focusing on individuality first and then the overall situation. Therefore, the personality of Westerners is relatively unrestrained.

Oriental civilization originated in the two river basins.
The basin of the two rivers generally refers to Mesopotamia (the ancient Greek name for the basin of the two rivers). Mesopotamia is the ancient Greek name for the valley of the two rivers, meaning the land between the two rivers, and the two rivers refer to the Euphrates and Tigris. The geographical location encapsulates parts of present-day Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria and Kuwait.
The Sumerians are a highly developed society with exquisite creativity and are the earliest known people to record their thoughts and literature in writing, the Sumerians have a wide range of technologies, including the development of agriculture, the invention of the wheel, cosmology, astrology, religion, science, medicine, philosophy, ethics, libraries; Law; School; Beer; Time measurement: divide an hour into 60 minutes, and a minute is 60 seconds; It is also the main development place of the city and the world, which is the cornerstone of human civilization, so it is called the "cradle of human civilization".

Eastern civilization originated from an agrarian civilization, while Western civilization relied on a contract civilization. The origins of these two Heshangkai civilizations are different. The agrarian civilization in Chinese society is extremely developed, and in order to satisfy material needs, this root cause determines the lack of motivation for social change.
There is pressure to be motivated, and stress is converted into motivation in some cases.
In the era of agriculture, the land played a fundamental role, and combined with the production of crops, people established the "Qiankun" I Ching philosophy. However, Zen calls that the existence of human beings and the laws of nature are actually compatible and interconnected, and all three are indispensable in order to achieve the right time, place and people. Therefore, the oriental civilization is constantly seeking the internal connection between heaven, earth and man, as well as the harmonious and unified constraint relationship.
The lack of a self-contained natural philosophy inhibited the independent development of ancient natural knowledge, as well as the development of science and technology.
-
The difference between Eastern civilization and Western civilization is that all origins are caused by geographical differences.
Geographically, one is in the east and one is in the west.
The language is divided into hieroglyphs in the East and Latin phonetic in the West.
According to religion, the religion of the Oriental people is actually to believe in the ancestors, and the Western religion believes in the creation or creator of the world.
The territory of the Orientals is noisy, and it is enough for the newcomers to learn to plow the land from the old man.
Because the climate in the East is more suitable for agricultural civilization.
All ethics, religions, and civilizations originate from survival.

1. Different worldviews: Western civilization is keen to explore the truth. Eastern civilization is keen to explore ethics.
2. Different views: Westerners began to oppose globalization, opposed integration, began to build strong ** barriers to resist economic risks, and tried to build the so-called Noah's Ark to escape the flood of globalization. Western civilization is almost a master-slave civilization.
There is a very important concept in Eastern civilization, that is, unity. A united nation, a united state, and so on.
3. Different influences: The Western civilization with the ancient Greek civilization as the core was greatly influenced by Egypt, Babylon on the Mediterranean coast, and later the Islamic civilization and Indian civilization. In the Far East, there is only one powerful civilization, which lacks extensive exchanges with other civilizations in the world, is self-centered, and has a different understanding of the objective world, resulting in great differences between Eastern and Western civilizations in military, political, philosophical, cultural, scientific, and other aspects.

Western civilization is keen to search for truth. Reason: Western civilization with ancient Greek civilization as the core was greatly influenced by Egypt, Babylon on the Mediterranean coast, and later Islamic civilization and Hindu.
Eastern civilization is keen to explore ethics. Reason: In the Far East, there is only one strong civilization, which lacks extensive exchanges with other civilizations in the world, is self-centered, and has a different understanding of the objective world, resulting in huge differences between Eastern and Western civilizations in military, political, philosophical, cultural, scientific, and other aspects.
Oriental Civilization: Oriental culture mainly refers to the historical and traditional culture of Asia, including part of northern Africa. Originally, the East was only a relative geographical concept, and the countries that were historically in different geographical locations referred to the East were different.
In modern times, Europe and the United States have gradually formed a conventional consensus, that is, the regions east of Europe (mainly Asia) are called the East, such as Japan, Korea, India, and the cultures of Southeast Asia, Arabia and other countries and regions. In modern times, political and economic connotations have been added to the concept of the East. For example, the capitalist society and economically developed countries are called the Western world, and the socialist society and economically underdeveloped countries are called the Eastern world.
We understand the Orient from a cultural level. The oriental culture here mainly refers to the historical and traditional culture of Asia, including some African regions. Chinese culture is the most representative ideological and philosophical system in Oriental culture.

Geographically, one is in the east and one is in the west.
By language: hieroglyphs in the East, Latin phonetic script in the West.
According to religion: the religion of the Oriental people is actually to believe in the ancestors, and the Western religion is to believe in the creator or creator.
At the end of the day, all the distinctions happen because of the first.
Because the climate of the East is more suitable for agrarian civilization, all origins are caused by geographical differences. On the territory of the Orientals, it is enough for the newcomer to learn to plow the land from the old man. All ethical, religious and civilized beings have their roots in survival.

For example, it is very uncivilized to give up your seat on the subway, but in the United States, it is not required to give up your seat, because the ground of the carriage is very clean, and children can sit on the ground at will. I think the more general ones are as follows: >>>More
