孔子讲中庸,老子尚无为。千百年下来,中国人崇尚的是隐忍与含蓄,忌讳的是直露和张狂。有学者还研究说,中国人的性格是植物性的,以守、忍、藏为特征;西方人的性格是动物性的,以攻、狂、露为标志。 Confucius speaks moderation, Lao Tzu is still nothing. Thousands of years down, Chinese people advocate forbear and subtle, taboo is straightforward and insolent. Some scholars also study that the Chinese character is botanical, characterized by Shou, tolerance, and possession; the character of the Westerners is animal, with the sign of attack, madness and dew.
