(29 Mar) Why canāt Chinese achieve the same scientific and democratic modernization as the West?
There are many reasons, I could go on for days. For starters, it is the nationās obedience and deep-rooted depravity, as verified by Chinese writer Lu Xun. Secondly, it is the 2000-year system based on the dark emperor system of Emperor Qin Shi Huangās legalism. Thirdly, Chinese pictographs are only suitable for the imagination, whereas English is based on Latin, pictographs cannot cultivate rational logical thinking.
Most importantly: Western civilization originated in Greece 3000 years ago, around the same period as Chinaās Spring and Autumn period. However, the original intention of Western Greek culture aimed to āseek truthā from the very beginning. Under the starry nights of Athens, Socrates and Plato would explore the logic and philosophy over a question. In contrast, Confucius, Mencius and their students wasted too much time on ābenevolenceā, the concept of kindness.
//the ābenevolenceā in Confucian ethics was soon permanently suppressed by Emperor Qin Shi Huangās legalist scholar Shang Yangās cruel legalism.
//The ethical Chinese culture was once based on morality, and it slowly became something that scholar-officials recite. In reality, the scholar-officials were people who palace maidens and eunuchs kissed up and snitched to.
//In short, after 150 years, they still choose the way Lenin and Mao Zedong ruled, they still want an Emperor.
