The Spirit of the Chinese People after reading

The spirit of the Chinese people during the creation background of the book is the qing dynasty ,western countries to the image of the Chinese people have a serious distortion ,and Mr.ku hung-ming use their intellect written in the book ,introduced the spirit of the Chinese people to foreign readers ,the book reveals the real spiritual life of the Chinese people and Chinese culture of the true value of a constant .At that time ,Europe was in the period of world war and the article not only introduced Chinese culture ,but also pointed out a way for the civilization of Europe and even the world ,that is ,learning the excellent part of the Chinese culture ,learning Confucianism and so on.

The spirit and culture of the Chinese people are all unique ,and under the circumstance that the Chinese culture was suppressed by the western culture and was worthless ,the old gentleman firmly proved the value of traditional culture and the gentlemanly character of the Chinese people It is the gentleness of Chinese culture that makes Chinese people docile ,and because of their docility, they have sympathy ,which is the product of real human civilization and wisdom .Docility and sympathy make Chinese people have noble ,indescribable human nature ,which also makes the real Chinese people’s spirits. In addition, Chinese culture is not only dedicated to tell people what is moral, but also teaches people how to do what is moral, which is also the unique part of Chinese culture. But the author thinks it can teach people how to be a moral person, a complete set of, in Chinese culture is the integrated system of human civilization thought, that is the Chinese Confucianism, the signification of Confucianism religion, similar to the European countries can contain people’s fear of ignorance of the world, can provide people with a sense of security and eternal feeling, can help people out of fear. In addition, Confucianism also advocates and emphasizes a sense of national honor, that is, gentlemanliness, and righteousness is an important foundation to maintain social security. In contrast, modern society uses interests, force, deception and other means to maintain the society play is not a long-term stability.

Now we come to the question of religion, where the wise believe in the existence of god as a worship of he lows of the universe, of the divine order, and the common people believe in the existence of god as a refuge from suffering, as a made-up god. Therefore religion is depend on the value of the civilians, it brings a sense of security, sense of eternity, and civilians themselves and observe and moral order, the order is the moral law, the rule of a gentleman, a gentleman, so moral more refined than the moral law of philosophy, deep, wide, Confucianism advocates people to learn to do a gentleman, to follow their own conscience, improve moral character and accomplishment.

To sum up, it can be determined that the value of religion lies in that it can convey emotions to the public, make them feel love and pass on love, strengthen people’s power through religious belief, and make them obey moral laws. But China’s Confucianism emphasizes the Confucian precept or in school, teach people how to be a genuinely good man, a gentleman, and through the ritual, music, poetry to encourage their feelings, so in other words, Confucianism is the true sense of home, makes people take good care of his father, love ancestor’s code of conduct, loyal to the monarch, emphasize the birthright’s sense of honor. Chinese people’s spirit also has reason, childlike psychology, which is the real Chinese culture emphasizes depth, broadness and simplicity.
