The review of <The spirit of the Chinese people>

18E15  罗湘宁

I finished to read the book today. It is the first time that I have made it . When reading it at the time, I always think of a question why this book need to be written in English and we need to read it. Nevertheless I gradually know something about the book when I translate it. we read <The spirit of the Chinese people>. At the same time, we realized that we Chinese not only have a good knowledge of our gentle religion, but should make the foreigners to have a better knowledge of it. And we actually haven’t realized deeply the essence of the Chinese culture. Therefore we can have a deep realization about Chinese culture and Chinese gentle religion.

The most expressive part of the book is the religion of good-citizenship. The author wrote many instances and explanations to state the religion of good-citizenship. And at the same time ,the author referred to the European wars. It seemed that the author was fond of the discussion of the causes of the European wars, so that he still discussed the European wars in his appendix. He explained the religion of good-citizenship and its container through assuming the results in different conditions, and state the cause of the European wars in a unique view and accused of the audiences of the European wars. As far as I am concerned, I think the religion of good-citizenship he mentioned in the book has a contract to the principle of the Chinese behavers. But I still have a problems in my mind, the author could state the reason of the wars frequency in Europe, yet in China, why dynasty transforming still came about and why it still came about frequently. It seemed that your religion of good-citizenship can not explain the Chinese wars happening. The religion of good-citizen existed in many peoples heart. Yet the human had greet hopes. So the religion of good-citizenship still can not make human to behave themselves. So the religion of good -citizenship is not better than the laws. We isn’t better than the European actually.

And the most shaking part is the Chinese women . what? Why the author wrote a  chapter to state the Chinese women characters and moral and so on. And it seemed that Chinese women can bear all unequal things and it originated from their love. It’s too fun. Why not descend the right of the Chinese men? What’s more, I think that this kind of love isn’t a kind of responsible love. And the biggest initiative always is grasped by the men. Why ? at the same time ,someone has the biggest right so that he don’t scared anyone ,then he started to do recklessly, and nothing can restrict him. So why the god make the men so different? It isn’t faith. And the author search for the excuses, it’s so ridiculous. If the god can give the women this biggest initiative , I believe that they can do better.

In a word ,I merely write down some opinions, they may not very correct. So l will appreciate it if you can read the essay.
