Why do the differences between Eastern and Western cultures produce different self awareness?

First of all, we must look at the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Referring to Geert Hofstad's theory, one of the theories of the difference between Eastern and Western self-consciousness is Western individualism and Eastern collectivism. The manifestation of individualism in the West can be traced back to the heroism in Homer's epic poems, Martin Luther's proposal to communicate with God in the form of individuals, to the people who have become rich through their own efforts in the United States, to the fact that most modern Western countries regard the individual as the unit of productivity rather than the family.

Because of the emphasis on the "individual", Westerners are accustomed to being self-centered, regardless of success or failure. On the contrary, collectivism, represented by China, began with the three outlines and five constants of Confucianism, and in modern times, collective interests are above all else, and it is difficult to move an inch without a relationship to the present, and the Eastern society attaches great importance to families and interest groups, while in contrast, individual interests and ideas are relatively ignored. Although Chinese society is now influenced by the West, and individualism has gradually become obvious, thousands of years of cultural accumulation still make Chinese people accustomed to moving closer to the "collective" and orienting themselves to herd thinking to dominate their daily behavior.

I don't think what I said upstairs is right!

In today's society, Chinese generally attach importance to personal interests, and those who learn to say anything are sanctimonious and only exist in theory.

1 Chinese college student is a dragon, and 3 are a worm.

Americans, on the other hand, now have become a habit of helping each other.

As an example, seen in a book.

A Chinese car broke down on a highway in the United States, and when he was very distressed, a car came from behind, and an American came down and asked him, do you need help? The Chinese were very grateful, and when the Americans left, they told him that the next person would do this kind of thing like me.

In today's China, many people can't even say thank you, let alone say thank you, do you need help?

Self-consciousness arises from the cultivation of the family environment and the social environment.

And not those illusory doctrines.

1. The way of thinking of Chinese and Western cultures.

Different. Chinese thinking is spiral, Western thinking is linear, in terms of language expression, Chinese expression is more euphemistic, while hungry Westerners due to different cultures, Westerners and interpersonal expressions are more direct and straightforward.

Second, the cooking methods of Chinese and Western cultures are different.

Because of its vast land and abundant resources, China is also one of the four ancient civilizations.

In the cooking of food, there are many cooking skills in China, and most Chinese food is cooked over an open flame, and the processing of ingredients pays attention to the color, flavor, and taste.

Western cooking generally does not use open flames, in the West, they use other ways to heat food, and the West pays more attention to the influence of food, and steak is a very important iconic food.

3. Differences in moral concepts between Chinese and Western cultures.

Westerners focus on the individual, while China focuses on the group, and individual heroism has emerged in the West.

In China, there is a great force of unity, the West places more emphasis on private property, and the West attaches more importance to the spirit of contract.

China attaches great importance to human feelings, and China attaches great importance to national interests.

and collective interests, and the Chinese family concept is heavier, such as the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Overview of the development of Chinese and Western cultures:

Located on the Asian continent.

With the social, economic, and political development of China, China in the east has gradually made contacts with other countries from near and far, and has carried out cultural exchanges. It includes the exchange of people, the transplantation of property, the mutual influence of customs and habits such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, weddings and funerals, and the spread of ideas, religion, literature, and art.

There are many ways of exchange, such as envoys, overseas students, religion, commerce and merchants, handicraftsmen, etc., and even wars and prisoners, which have also provided channels for cultural exchanges. The depth and breadth of cultural exchanges between China and other countries vary, and the depth of each other's influence and the results produced by each other also vary from country to country and era to era.

However, cultural exchanges between China and other countries are a historical necessity, and in the long process of exchanging light and shadow with other countries, on the whole, the bright model is a mutual benefit for both China and foreign countries.

Consciousness is the knowledge of knowledge. Culture is basically the perception of a group. Cultural awareness is the perception of group awareness.

It is easy for people to know themselves, but it is difficult for them to realize themselves. Culture is the same, it is easy to understand, but difficult to recognize.

The difficulty lies in the fact that consciousness is a reflection of existing knowledge, and it is impossible to observe it if there is insufficient or immature understanding.

Culture is not cultural relics, cultural relics are the products or appearances of culture. Culture, like people, is a living body or energy group.

Culture grows with the group, and culture does not lose its identity. Yin and yang in culture are always changing with each other.

The way in which Eastern and Western cultures perceive themselves is chaotic and generally similar. （）
