什么是中国人的精神

What is the spirit of the Chinese people? When it comes to the spirit of the Chinese people, many people may think of a large amount of good spirits like brave, kind, tolerant, hardworking, optimistic and so on. However, in THE SPIRIT OF THE CHINESE PEOLE written by Gu Hongming, the spirit of the Chinese people is explained with another point of view. In this book, Gu Hongming introduces the spirit of Chinese people from many aspects: the religion of good citizenship, the Chinese woman, the Chinese language, John Smith in China, a great Sinologue, Chinese scholarship and so on. In the first place, in Gu Hongming's opinion, only the Chinese have all these four excellent spiritual characteristics at the same time: profound, broad, simple and spiritual. What's more, Gu Hongming concludes that the real Chinese live an adult life and have a child's mind, That is to say, the real Chinese are people with a "child's mind and an adult's mind". Last but not least, as Gu Hongming says," The real Chinese may be rough, but there is no coarse in the rough. The real Chinese may be ugly, but there is no ugliness in ugliness. The real Chinese may ne vulgar, but there is no aggression and noise in vulgarity. The real Chinese may be foolish, but there is no absurdity in folly. The real Cjinese may be cunning, but cunning is not vicious."
