Some of the shortcomings of Confucian culture, Chinese I dare not say it myself, but I was told by a German, and I felt that the taste had completely changed.
Confucian culture is China's traditional culture, has a history of more than 2,000 years, it originated from the Taoist I Ching, is the development and change of heaven, earth and human beings based on the use of the law of cosmic balance, after thousands of years of precipitation, gradually formed a complete and unique culture.
Confucian culture played a great role in establishing social order, developing national spirit, inheriting history and culture in China, and at the same time, he laid the map and influence of China.
However, more and more Chinese people find that Confucian culture has shortcomings, and some ideas are too rigid and rigid, with great limitations. Despite this, few people dare to say it boldly, but it is a man named Max. Weber's Germans dared to point it out publicly, to the point and to the point.
Max. Weber argued: "Confucian culture is not a practical study, but only a set of value systems to maintain social order, and schools teach neither mathematics, nor natural sciences or geography, and the people they train have no ability to create logic."
"(Chinese) Life is full of witty word games, tactful and even oblique expressions, and quotations from scriptures, which also cause the extreme proliferation of formalism."
"Confucian culture has laissez-faire economic management, or no ability to manage it at all, and this management based solely on poetry has continued from ancient times to modern times."
Max. Weber (1864-1920) is a very influential thinker in the modern West, he lived in the era corresponding to the end of China's Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period, he talked about China's Confucian culture in the way of thinking of Westerners, he only saw the surface, did not appreciate the essence of Chinese Confucian culture, his views have a certain one-sidedness.
Friends, you agree with Max. Weber's point of view? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and express your own ideas.
