Differences and integration of Eastern and Western cultures
The world has a duality, which includes the form of existence of human civilization. The East and the West have different cultural connotations, and have been experiencing violent collision and integration for thousands of years.
The oriental civilization is built on the traditional culture with a long history, reflecting the harmony and unity between man and nature. Oriental culture not only reflects the essence of the universe and life, but also follows the laws of the evolution of all things. Since ancient times, the East has emphasized people-oriented, upheld the idea of moderation, and promoted the concept of benevolent government in its social system and behavioral norms. At the same time, in terms of spirit and belief, he advocates the unity of heaven and man, seeks to become an immortal and become a Buddha on the ground, and has no willingness and need for external expansion. Particularly valuable is the traditional Chinese medicine technology, can be described as the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom of Chinese civilization, doctors through wisdom and hope and smell to find out the direction of illness and **, whether through natural herbs to achieve the harmony of yin and yang, or the use of acupuncture and massage to dredge qi, blood and meridians, are from the inside of the real life as a complete system.
Western civilization, also known as industrial civilization or technological civilization, flourished in the European Middle Ages Renaissance, and with the rapid progress of science and technology and the industrial revolution, for the first time let human beings look deeper and farther into the universe at the material level. From tiny atoms to the vast starry sky, from electronic technology to the information revolution, the human productive forces have been unprecedentedly liberated. However, industrial development has also brought mankind into an endless state of possession and enjoyment, and this outward-looking culture inevitably leads to aggression and expansion. If Western culture is more based on the material level, then Western medicine is more headache treatment, foot pain treatment, the patient in front of the doctor is like a machine, the so-called medical surgery is to directly remove or replace the lesion, can not delve into the internal mechanism of the human body lesions.
Oriental culture has reached the high-dimensional world, and since ancient times, it has always emphasized dedication and dedication, and has the infinite power of high-frequency consciousness. The ancient cultivation system of the East conforms to the laws of the universe, and the East will also return to divinity in the future. As an equivalent existence, Western culture presents more of a separate characteristic of possession and taking, and such a form of civilization is in a limited dimension. In essence, demonic nature is the foil of divinity, and the West is a promotion of the East. Confrontation began to surface, behind the solipsism of the West was relatively developed technological power, while the East had the potential to surpass all material. Even with the ability to control spaceships, extraterrestrial life has always feared the humans of the East, due to the dimensional gap.
The current level of human cognition is still like a frog at the bottom of a well, and if we blindly pursue scientific and technological progress and material enjoyment, we will only be able to backfire in the end, and will only come to an end in becoming more and more arrogant and impetuous. Just as Western medicine cures the surface and Chinese medicine cures the root cause, it will only be the East that will save mankind, and the situation that will turn things around will be the first to appear in the East. Although Oriental culture has long been in touch with the universe and the true meaning of life, it has been stagnant for thousands of years. The progress of human beings in the material and spiritual fields has always been mutually reinforcing, and the so-called becoming immortal and Buddhist is more based on individual practice, and today most people rely on the information revolution to achieve awakening, and human civilization will make a leap forward at the collective level for the first time.
If, as the Mayans said, mankind is about to enter a new world, such a civilization is not only the product of the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, but also the crystallization of the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations.
