Reading Insights into Chinese Culture brings me thorough new thoughts on cultural diversity and cross-cultural communication. Centered on the core spirit of harmony, the book introduces Confucian benevolence, Taoist harmony between humans and nature, as well as vivid Chinese cultural scenes covering education, etiquette, festivals and arts, showing that traditional culture is lively wisdom in daily life rather than rigid classics. By contrasting Chinese and Western cultures, I find they hold different educational ideas yet share universal virtues like kindness and honesty. Just as enlightening courses guide rational thinking, this book tells me all cultures are equal; we should respect differences and learn from each other. Meanwhile, it offers standard English expressions for Chinese cultural symbols, empowering me to tell Chinese stories and carry out equal civilizational dialogues. This reading improves my English reading skills and fosters an inclusive mindset, which will greatly support my future English study and cross-cultural communication.
