In the book "the Spirit of the Chinese people", we see a completely different image of the Chinese. The author gives a comprehensive introduction of the Chinese from the aspects of civilization, language, soul, character, and so on, and also introduces the Chinese from the aspects of civilization, language, soul, character, and so on, as well as with the British, the German, the American, and so on. Compared with the French, it is pointed out that the Chinese have four virtues: profound, broad, simple and spiritual at the same time, and only the Chinese people have these four outstanding qualities in an all-round way, so that I have a deep understanding of the Chinese people. At the same time, I found that a lot of my previous understanding was wrong, after reading this book, I changed a lot of my opinion.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the image of the Chinese people was seriously distorted and totally inconsistent with the facts. Old Mr. Gu Hongming was proficient in many languages. His book, "the Spirit of the Chinese people," which he wrote in English, took a pen as a weapon and reversed the views of the outside world on the Chinese people. Gu Hongming's pride can be seen from the book, although he is not born in China, European origin of overseas Chinese. If you look at this book from the perspective of modern people, you may think that Mr. Gu Hongming's views are somewhat stereotyped, but if you put it in a hundred years ago, in the context of that era, almost everyone worships Western civilization. Mr. Gu Hongming clung to the ancient Chinese history by himself. Confucianism, without fear of cynicism from outsiders and fellow countrymen, can not help but make a great deal of emotion.

Deep, broad and simple, and sensitive, are the three main characteristics of Chinese character and Chinese civilization, and only the Chinese people have these four excellent spiritual characteristics in an all-round way. Although China's then three-wife, four-concubinage system, women's morality and other demands on women were somewhat unreasonable, and even reflected China's backwardness at that time, it is undeniable that at that time, Chinese civilization was indeed ahead of the world at that time. It is also worth learning from all over the world. The Chinese do not need to rely on religion, priests, or militarism to maintain China's peace and stability like foreign countries. We have Confucius and play a religious role, calling us loyalty and filial piety. Although we do not have a church, but the traditional family is in fact our church, Confucianism is through this way to infiltrate the vast majority of Chinese people's hearts, so that they become truly civilized people. And the compassion of the Chinese themselves and the Confucian civilization that China has continued for a hundred years have made it rare for the Chinese to have a riot of war and violence, but rather for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. This is precisely where the charm of Chinese civilization lies, and the culture of China for 5,000 years has a long history. The Chinese stand among the nations of the world.
