Research significance of the differences between Chinese and American love views
Through the analysis of Chinese and western love views, we can see that Chinese and western love views are different on the whole. Westerners regard love as more important than life, and it is the center of life. China, on the other hand, despises love, which is not as important as reality. These two different views on love are caused by natural geographical environment, traditional culture, economic reasons and political reasons. In traditional China, the geographical environment is closed, and people's thoughts are conservative and rigid. This feudal thought has far-reaching influence, which is not conducive to the development of people's ideological and moral and physical and mental health. The economy is a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and the concept of family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A man is the head of the family and shoulders the heavy responsibility of bringing home the bacon. In this way, a society in which men are superior to women is formed. As a result, women in China have been suppressed, and men are unwilling to fall in love with "inferior" women because of their face.

Communication, therefore, China people's love view appears closed and conservative. The ruling class enslaves the people politically, and ideologically controls his subjects with ideas conducive to their rule, so that they have no personal development, let alone free love. In the west, its geographical environment is open, people have long been exposed to the ideas of the outside world, and in mutual exchanges, a commercial economy has emerged. In order to maintain

The smooth progress of this economy has made contracts, that is, laws and regulations. Everyone abides by this system to safeguard their own interests, so the west is based on legal relations. In this environment, the difference between men and women is not obvious. Although men still dominate, the status of men and women can be basically equal, so "free love" becomes possible. This traditional view of love, which suppresses people's desires and hinders people's development of personality without freedom, is no longer applicable to today's society. Moreover, this concept of love is not allowed in today's society and does not conform to the humanitarian theme of our country. To treat Chinese and western traditional values, we should take their essence and discard their dross. China needs a new love value, so that men and women can develop in harmony, and pay attention to free love, marriage and family.
