6、rect and general reflection of the regularity. Thinking is very important in human activities. It is through thinking, people can understand nature, society, thus to adapt to the environment, the environment, promote social development. To this, cahill said: symbolic thinking and symbolic behavior i
7、s the most iconic features in human life, and the full development of human culture are dependent on these conditions, it is indisputable. A person with age, affected by the social and economic environment and the national culture of beneficence, its way of thinking will gradually forming stability.
8、 A way of thinking but form, people would in this way he used to thinking, and to guide its behavior. So, to adapt to the development of The Times, emancipate the mind, renew the idea, change everyday, not conducive to the development of the society behavior patterns and involves the recasting of de
9、eper thinking. Therefore, the study of Chinese and western ways of thinking, to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, to meet the challenge of the + & century to build a new era of Chinese way of thinking, has positive practical significance.2. Chinese and western ways of thinking differenc
10、es mainly displaysChinese and Westerners because of their social and historical and cultural traditions of different, formed a unique mode of thinking. The differences between Chinese and Western thinking mode is mainly manifested in the following aspects:2.1 Fuzziness and precisionCharacteristics o
11、f the most attract sb.s attention Chinese traditional way of thinking, is fuzzy, the accuracy is obviously different from the traditional western thinking and pursuit. First of all, from the language point of view. Chinese adjective comparative verb does not exist, nor tense, plural form, its exact
12、meaning only through the specific language environment Environment, language in front and back to grasp. The Chinese peoples understanding of things, often rarely like western first of its definition and the definition of strict, is clear about its connotation and extension, and then analysis, judgm
13、ent, reasoning and conclusion. This paper describes the abstract problem in the ancient academic writings, especially. For example, Confucius attaches great importance to benevolence, he was in the Analects of Confucius dozens of times spoke of benevolence, but never on Ren means to make any clear e
14、xplanation and definition. Today, we can only through the benevolence of the context, to infer the basic connotation of benevolence. The other category in the history of Chinese philosophy, such as Li and Qi and road, heart and so on also is so, because people can give the previous relative freedom
15、category with a new meaning, without having to create another other terms to express their ideas, and the only book only holy tradition causes the Chinese classics developed, I note six, six canons I, note by the method to express the authors different thoughts. Fuzzy thinking reflected in historiog
16、raphy, although historians of emperors, political and economic institutions to record very clearly, but the quantity of land, grain output, fiscal revenue and so on recorded very little, but very vague, modern people have to treat these problems as the research subject to textual research. The fuzzy
17、 thinking though when Generations of Chinese people has weakened, but in many areas there are still more or less. Such as the humanities and social science books, papers and textbooks side heavy demonstration analysis of minimal amounts of. Even if the logarithmic quantization requirements textbook
18、economics books, very strong, the analysis of quantity are not many, there are few like teaching western economics treatise, that the speech was full of chart, curve, function and quantity formula. The Chinese diet culture developed, but in China every kitchen almost can not find western kitchen eng
19、raved with the scale measuring cup, standard spoon. Chinese cooking is all a matter of experience and feeling, not a fixed pattern, also is the fish flavored shredded pork restaurants have the taste, not like the McDonalds, the whole world McDonalds chain stores have a taste.2.2 Understanding the in
20、tuition and logicChina traditional thinking pays attention to experience understanding of intuitive thinking, western traditional thinking seriously of logical thinking. Lin Yutang said: the minds of the Chinese people are shy to abstract words, like womens language. The Chinese way of thinking is a
21、 comprehensive and concrete. Chinese people largely rely on intuition to uncover the nature Cleverly pointed out that the theme of this article called touch touch on lightly, known as superficial. Chinese adjectives, idioms much more special, almost every word has an image, and abstract nouns and le
22、ss special, so that the beautiful, rich artistic conception of Chinese poetry, prose translation into a western language often lose the original flavor; western science papers translated into Chinese, and it is difficult to find similar words expression modern, so that some translators have to a lot
23、 of creating some new words, to adapt to the western scientific work translation. Chinese traditional thinking heavy introspective insight heavy analogical reasoning, intuition to a truth first, then a variety of specific comparison and implication image elaboration. As a demonstration of Yin and Ya
24、ng widespread, heaven and earth, sun and moon, men and women cite, the monarch and his subjects, Qi and blood and so on to demonstrate. In this way, may produce many talented Lenovo, but the lack of strict and scientific. Western experimental verification of induction and deduction. Einstein put the
25、 western scientific thought attributed to the formal logic and experiment. The concept of formal logic to determine, experiment makes concept with mathematical quantitative formula, and one end of right and wrong judgment standard. So we can understand the observed, recorded in ancient China has the
26、 worlds most early, the most abundant Halleys comet, but calculate cycle, trajectory Halleys comet instead is Harley and Newton.2.3 Organic and mechanisticAnother important difference between Chinese and Western thinking mode is the traditional thinking, China holistic, organic, dialectic is promine
27、nt, while western traditional thinking focus on concrete, mechanical, metaphysics was. Chinese problem, want to do things, more comprehensive, seldom go to extremes. That early in the spring and Autumn Period me, poor, strong or weak, weal and woe, rigid and so on opposites are not immutable and fro
28、zen, they in certain conditions, will be in the opposite direction transformation, in the moral proposed bySweet are the uses of adversity, the dialectical thought of the Fu Fu Xi disaster $&%. Confucius veryRecommended article, think Shun Shun their knowledge and. Deacon at both ends, with the peop
29、le,Whose this thought Shun almost .He advocated, a pleasure which would cost one nothing, work without complaining, and not greed, confident but not arrogant, yet not fierce. Also to be bland and emotionally.The physical situation. The doctrine of the mean thought Confucius enhanced organic China tr
30、aditional thinking and dialectical. China traditional thinking embodied in Chinese medicine theory especially sufficient. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that any disease is not an isolated phenomenon. Eye disease may reflect Kidney problems, restless, is hot tempered. Therefore, its not like
31、western medicine as no overall plan for a fundamental transformation, not effect a permanent cure claims at the end of May, the headache medicine foot, stomach pain with silver needle pierced ears. The Chinese even deny a thing or criticize a person, often is the first in a positive praise, but then
32、. Turning you are in my heart. In traditional western thinking enjoyed taking things apart, quantitative analysis, empirical testing, and even the human organs as separate parts research, so that on the one hand to promote the development of human anatomy, on the other hand, we can draw some absurd
33、conclusion. As Hobbes put the people as the structure of the clock, the heart is the mainspring, nerve is gossamer, joint is gear. Latin American Terry is that people are the machine, and that the monkey can be trained adult. Because the differences between human and monkey is a few more gear, sprin
34、g. Westerners to evaluation of the thing, often the sake of discussion, black and white, color emotion very prominent, balancing rarely like Chinese, middle. This is caused by different thinking tradition. The differences between Chinese and Western thinking mode, but there are a lot of the above as
35、pects, such as Chinese thinking only book Wei Shengwei serious tendency, higher provisions on some books, Saint speaking, did not dare to defy. The past reading people become an author must reference the sage words, now many scholars writing paper is like according to the individuals needs, quote so
36、me mentors, leaders, as their argument. In contrast, Westerners think reality only really obvious color only method, practical, scientific, abide by the law, dare and authority controversy. Point to again Chinese traditional thinking is the main human relations, emphasis on inward thinking; while po
37、inting to the western traditional thinking is mainly the relationship between man and nature, emphasis on outward thinking.3. Cultural factorsFrom the viewpoint of epistemology, thinking is the function of human brain, is the human brain reflects the objective world process. Thinking is not only a n
38、atural product of highly developed, but also is the crystallization of human social development, and constantly improve the level of understanding. The differences between Chinese and Western thinking mode, is derived from Chinese and Westerners in the brain of the physiological function of differen
39、t, but because China and the western economic development, social psychology, national characteristics, customs, values, religious beliefs, lifestyle and social factors caused by the different cultural factors, which is an important source of difference the Western way of thinking.3.1 Cultural devel
40、opmentIn the pre Qin Period - the cultural origin and foundation of the ancient China stage, Chinese way of thinking was diverse, pluralistic development, not only have an intuitive, dialectical thinking, and a rational, logical thinking; both fuzzy thinking, understanding, and precise, positive thi
41、nking. Confucianism and Taoism, yin and Yang home longer than vague, intuitive dialectical thinking, me, Confucius put forward many reflect this thinking category, proposition. Mohist and masters is paid special attention to the precise, logical thinking, Hui Shi, Gongsun Long established the propos
42、itions of logic, many analytical concept relations. In pre Qin Dynasty to Wei Jin period, due to the existence of various ways of thinking, so that philosophy, historiography, literature, natural science, science and technology have been developing very fast. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, with the Co
43、nfucianism, Buddhism, Taoism three cultures complementary to become mainstream, influence Chinese culture, Mohism and artists began to decline, the precise logical thinking gradually let the intuitionistic fuzzy in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, three have paid attention to the dialectical think
44、ing. Since then, the dialectical thinking has been occupying the intuitionistic fuzzy. The dominant position Chinese traditional mode of thinking, until modern times western Dongjin began to change. Therefore, from a certain sense, the history of the development of thinking Chinese is intuitive, dia
45、lectical thinking history. The West from its cultural origin and foundation stage - the period of ancient Greece, precise logical thinking is a dominant position. The ancient Greek thinkers generally has the tendency of pursuing axiomatic system strict in philosophical speculation in the. From Telle
46、s until the Socrates, Platon, almost all the philosophers have worked tirelessly to explore the problem of inference rules of logic, until the cause of Aristotle established a deductive reasoning as the core of the formal logical system. The deductive method of Aristotle is the further development o
47、f Leibniz, Descartes, Kant, forming method of apriorism and axiomatic system. Bacon in the induction by simple enumeration based Aristotle put forward induction meter method, laid the foundation of the inductive method, and later developed by Muller as summed up five methods, formed the method syste
48、m of empiricism and positivism. Therefore, from a certain sense, the history of the development of Western thought, is precisely the rational logic history.3.2 The traditional cultural orientation and cultural spirit Cultural orientation and cultural spirit affects the ways of thinking, ways of thinking and strengthen the cultural orientation and cultural spirit. Chinese traditional culture on the continental river of the patriarchal hierarchy and smallholder economy, this culture refl
