First, the cognitive styles of enlightenment education in China and the West are different. The eastern and western nationalities have their own unique cultural background, social psychological structure, different modes of production activities and different levels of development, which are reflected in the great differences in thinking mode, cognitive style and style. The way of thinking of the oriental people represented by China is characterized by intuition and synthesis. The different ways of understanding between China and the West have profoundly influenced the development of this nation's theoretical thinking and scientific culture in different directions. The West attaches importance to rationality and speculation, while China attaches importance to experience. Intuitive Greek philosophy is the source of western philosophy. Ancient Greece had a strong interest in nature. They care about the origin of the world and the relationship between subject and object. How things develop and change, etc. Although their observation and practice under simple instruments lack logical coherence and the rational way is not systematic, people's direct observation is always permeated with the color of rational thinking, and abstract thinking is the characteristic of western thinking. As a typical representative of the oriental nation, China's traditional way of thinking is characterized by intuition and experience. Various categories of China's ancient science and philosophy were obtained by inward thinking, and various empirical phenomena were brewed. The understanding of these concepts is different from the logical deduction of western extroverted thinking, which can only be understood but difficult to express. For example, the understanding of Chinese medicine and Qigong, and the appreciation of a calligraphy work and a Chinese painting can only be realized by understanding inward. A detailed analysis of the West and China's overall comprehensive Western cultural structure are better. Oriental cultural structure is good at overall integration. For example, in the arrangement of surnames, Chinese surnames have clan names first, and then their own names, which highlights the clan as a whole. In western countries, you have your own name first, then your father's name, and then your own family name to highlight yourself. For example, the order of writing and expression of time and address, China people are used to the order of year, month and day from big to small. What stands out is the separation relationship from the whole to the individual, while westerners and China people express it in the opposite order, and what stands out is the synthesis relationship from the individual to the whole. It can be seen that in the spiritual culture and ideological structure of the Chinese nation, the comprehensive view from the whole occupies a prominent position, and this comprehensive holistic view usually ignores the details and component analysis when examining things, and often provides a vague picture of the whole object. Professor Du Weimin thinks that "China culture pays attention to people". The relationship between people is the core of China culture. People are based on real life, so political ethics is quite developed. Western culture pays more attention to nature, and the relationship between man and nature is the central issue of ancient Greece, which leads to rationality and technology. China's philosophy, whether Confucianism or Taoism, Buddhism is a philosophy of life. Confucianism seeks deeds, Taoism seeks immortals, and Buddhism seeks enlightenment. Confucianism is based on Confucius' thought, and the core of Confucius' thought is "benevolence". What is "benevolence"? Confucius said, "The benevolent loves others!" It can be seen that the knowledge of how to be a man is intended to clarify a set of ethical relations between people, such as monarch, minister, father and son. The purpose of self-cultivation is to realize one's political ambition-governing the country and leveling the world. Pure scientific research and all natural sciences have become behaviors and interests that most people disdain to choose. China culture also has its own insistence on the relationship between man and nature. An important feature of China culture is "the unity of heaven and man", which personifies nature. Pursue the harmonious state that human spirit blends into nature and people and nature breathe together. China culture is deeply rooted in the earth, and China culture attaches importance to agriculture from the beginning. "among the four people, scholars are farmers" and "food is the sky for the people" is the truth. Taoist thought is a masterpiece that makes people miss life and seek comfort in nature. The ancient science in the west lies in the exploration of nature, so Pythagoras appeared in the west very early. Archimedes is a famous professional scientist. On the relationship between man and nature, western culture thinks that man and nature are in opposition, which leads to a different attitude towards nature from China culture, that is, man should conquer and control nature, emphasize the opposition between man and nature, and regard nature as a hostile force. Homer's epic is purely overseas distress and conquering nature. Their games are all characters who grew up in the storm of nature. West Renye Fang talked about the relationship between people, but the first concern was not ethics, but competition, so the law of "survival of the fittest" appeared. The differences between Chinese and western values and life pursuits are manifested at all levels of social life. First, the values provided by Confucianism are different in China and the West. With the support of feudal autocracy, it gradually transformed into a deep-rooted belief in life. As the spiritual pillar of China's culture for more than two thousand years, this belief in life holds that the value of life lies in what a person has done in this world. The more a person does in society, the more meaningful his life will be. In an authoritarian society, power is everything. Therefore, one's greatest achievement is to realize one's ambition politically. The grand ideal of ruling the country and leveling the world with one's own family rules the lifeless life of millions of China literati. Influenced by this unified outlook on life, most people are unwilling to care about natural science, which leads to science being trapped in the bud. In addition, people's wisdom and talents are concentrated on politics, creating a unique unpredictable, substantial and ultra-stable political and cultural model in the world. In this special mode, it appeared. If you can't serve your country, you will retire, or recite poems and drink, so Taoism and Buddhism rise. Greedy people go to monasticism, while world-weary people might as well read Buddhism. In western culture, the value of life is diversified. Politics is also the realization of the value of life, and business is also considered to be quite valuable. The best occupations in the eyes of westerners are lawyers and doctors. Secondly, the modern western humanism based on the western individual standard and China's family standard came into being under the theological background. The concept of original sin is deeply rooted in the west. Therefore, the moral orientation of westerners is that individuals are responsible for themselves and atone for God through personal struggle, which leads to a Christian meaning, that is, "everyone is equal before God." When God was denied, the concept of social atom came into being in the west: the individual is an atom and exists independently of anyone. No one can infringe on individual rights, they believe in individual standard and egoism. This idea of individual standard has influenced all aspects of life. The boundaries between relatives are clear, and the old and the young pay separately for meals, and they respect children very much. When entering a child's room, you should first ask, "Can I come in?" They stressed that they are proud of their children's struggle for independence from their parents' lives and are willing to talk about their views. China takes family as its standard. In the eyes of China people, home is the universe of life, the harbor of life, and it has supreme cohesion. Being away from home is a "wanderer", emphasizing "parents" Mencius believes that saints are "human beings" and the core of human relations is "absolute obedience". One of the reasons why family has become so important is filial piety, which is the quintessence of China. China has a culture of filial piety since ancient times. It is said that filial piety governs the world. Affection and filial piety have great rational significance. Desire to kill ",the purpose of life is that individuals are responsible for the group. Third, the West stresses utility and timeliness, while China stresses ethics. Due to the development of natural science, western culture pays more attention to utility and effect, and is good at calculating economic accounts. For example, in a big company, if everyone saves a few seconds, it will save several people's time, hire fewer employees and reduce how much expenses. Putting the nib of ballpoint pen outward or inward saves writing time, how to put it in the most effective state, etc. Because China culture has been in a feudal agricultural society for a long time, its natural science is underdeveloped, and it pays attention to the adjustment of interpersonal relationship. Ritual norms are above everything else, and the dispute between "righteousness" and "profit" leads to the deviation of values, which advocates that people sacrifice their own interests in order to meet certain etiquette norms, and "emphasizing righteousness over profit" is regarded as a noble moral integrity. High moral character. What's more, during the "Cultural Revolution", "only the grass of socialism, not the seedlings of capitalism" was counted as a political account, not an economic account, and foreign China only considered political influence, not economic interests.
