Reviews
The book the Spirit of the Chinese written by Gu Hongming reveals the spiritual life of the Chinese and affirms the value of the Chinese traditional culture. The author believes that to evaluate a civilization, one must look at "what kind of person it can produce, what kind of man and woman it can produce." He pointed out: "to understand the true Chinese and Chinese civilization, that person must be deep, broad and simple", because "the Chinese character and the three characteristics of Chinese civilization are deep, broad and simple and delicacy. By comparing the Chinese with the Americans, the British, the Germans, and the French, he highlighted the characteristics of the Chinese, and finally expressed that only the Chinese had these four outstanding spiritual characteristics. Express the author's love for the Chinese. The author also wrote that the Chinese people lead a spiritual life, it is a never-aging people. I very much agree with this view, because only China has a long history, life and reproduction. There are two Chinese spirits, the first is gentlemanness, the second is strong compassion. I think it is the spirit of intellectuals. Of course, everyone should deserve it. When talking about the Chinese language, the author says that Chinese is a language of the soul. Why do foreigners find it difficult to learn Chinese, but Chinese children and ordinary people find it easy? This is because well-educated foreigners learn Chinese in a mind full of wisdom, not in the mind. Western languages are basically of this type, while Chinese is the language of the soul. And comes to the conclusion that the real Chinese are people with a child's mind and adult mind. I think this is the essence of the Chinese people. I think the writer is right about the selfless devotion of Chinese women, but I don't think I agree with him about three wives and four concubines.
