This book tells us that the long exist of Chinese civilization is reasonable. Because Chinese civilization has something different from other civilizations. Chinese civilization has the unique character that can’t be understand completely by other civilizations. Chinese character is complex, that’s an undoubted fact , after all, Chinese civilization has long history. But it simple as well, or we can say innocent. Chinese have intelligence of adults and lead a life of child. That’s the charm of Chinese civilization. The book can help spread Chinese culture and help more people understand Chinese culture.

  In the book, Mr. Gu says that every Chinese people don’t need power, nature or other things to protect themselves. Because they believe that there is more effective way to protect themselves. They believe what inside their soul called moral could protect themselves. We Chinese don’t need outside force to control ourselves, we just use the power inside our heart to control ourselves. While some western people think people are evil originally, power and religion can protect themselves, so they use a lot of money to create clergy and policemen to protect themselves. But they have found it didn’t make any sense, on the contrary, it had a big effect on people and gave rise to some people go to extreme. That’s the different of Chinese and other civilizations’ points on how to see people’s nature.

  I can also read Mr. Gu’s pride of his own country, this is a feeling that all Chinese people will have. We are proud of our country.
