各民族观察世界、形成世界观的基本思维方法不同,因而形成各不相同的文化特征。英、美民族惯于自然科学方法,故崇尚实验;德、俄民族惯于哲学方法,故崇尚分析;法、意民族惯于文学艺术方法,故崇尚幻想。传统的、中华民族的世界观使用的是史学的方法,故而中华民族特重教训。 The basic thinking methods of observing the world and forming the world outlook of different ethnic groups are different, thus forming different cultural characteristics. Therefore, the nations of Britain and the United States are accustomed to the methods of natural science, so they advocate experiments. The German and Russian nations are accustomed to philosophical methods, so they advocate the analysis; the law and the Italian nation are accustomed to the methods of literature and art, so they advocate fantasy. Traditionally, the Chinese nation’s view of the world uses the methodology of history, so the Chinese nation has a special emphasis on education.
