《the Spirit of Chinese》 书评
This book mainly elaborates on the "Chinese spirit" as the core argument, reveals the spiritual life of Chinese people, compares Chinese and western cultures, and explains the core values of Chinese traditional culture. This is not only a warning to those who "worship foreign things and fawn on foreign countries" in the qing dynasty when western culture waded into China, but also a reflection of cultural confidence in today's era. Only when people realize the shining point of traditional culture can they have confidence from deep inside. Self-confidence is not just Shouting slogans, it is a kind of self-confidence, self-confidence should be to understand the connotation of its self-confidence content. But this book seems to give the contemporary confused young people a reassurance, let them from a deeper level to understand the brilliance and charm of traditional culture, let them have a firm belief in their hearts -- our culture is not worse than the western culture. From the very beginning, this book directly points out the core of Chinese spirit -- deep, broad, simple and sensitive. From this perspective, the author compares Chinese with Americans, British, Germans and French, thus highlighting the uniqueness of Chinese: Americans are broad, simple, but not deep. The English are deep and simple, but not grand; German broad, deep, and not simple; The French have no German natural deep, not as American broad-minded and the British heart simple, but have the three national lack of sensitivity; Only the Chinese people have all these four excellent spiritual qualities. In addition, the spirit of the Chinese people also has the gentleman, the gentleman does not mean weak or vulnerable, but not rude, not violent. I think it is like a kind of tenacity in Chinese people's heart, seemingly gentle, but as tenacious and tenacious as grass. Japan claimed victory over Shanghai in three days, but failed to do so for three months. Chinese people has never been a "soft persimmon", we pursue peace because of a heart of love, this is the wealth of our civilization has blessed us, let us become a real person, rather than a beast of prey even machine, but we're not resignation, we have our own principles, no one can touch the bottom line, this is also our civilization has blessed us. In addition to the spirit, the book also talks about the language of China. The author gives an interesting explanation for why foreigners find Chinese difficult to learn. It is because well-educated foreigners learn Chinese with their already full of wisdom rather than with their hearts.This is the western language "common fault", that is, the lack of spiritual understanding. The author even comes to the conclusion that real Chinese people live the lives of adults and have the hearts of children. Children's mind is simple and pure, they can see the darkness of the world but not be infected by it, they are optimistic and easy to meet, many people miss the time as a child, even do not want to grow up is this reason, it is a happy time ah.
