Personal Experience and Background of the Times Promote the Formation of Chinese and Western Cultures. He believes that Chinese culture emphasizes ethics and virtue, Chinese historiography has a history of orthodoxy, is dominated by Confucianism, and is politicized by the system of historian officials. Western culture emphasizes individualism, utilitarianism and the rule of law. Western historiography is far behind China.
