Compared with the west, why didn't China produce a complete scientific thought and system in modern times?

This is a heavy problem. The person who raised this question is a person who cares about the fate and future of the country. But more and more is really a bit difficult to answer. Now that you have thought about it, let's feel it and start here.

The first is the limitation of ideological concepts and cultural awareness.

Our thoughts have been the ideological genes of Confucius for thousands of years, and the feudal system has been around for thousands of years. The more modern it is, the more influential "imperial edicts" such as attaching importance to agriculture and restraining commerce and prohibiting the sea have emerged. China's agricultural society belongs to the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic model, and there is no sign of large-scale production from beginning to end. So far, agriculture in China is not large-scale agriculture. Inefficient productivity and backward production relations are in a low level of balance.

You can often hear older people tell you, learn to be a man first, and then learn to do things. This is definitely the cultural characteristic of China. If you are interested, you can study the ubiquitous teaching of "be a man first, then do things"! Confucius is a model for generations. He is the most sacred teacher, just like a god. Have you heard that more than half of the Analects rule the world? What a powerful thought. From this perspective, it is wrong for some people to say that China people have no faith. Our belief is the belief of being a man, and doing things is secondary. A large part of doing things is to be an official, not to engage in technology! The scholar's goal is "to be independent and help the world", the scholar's direction is "to cultivate self-cultivation and rule the country", and the scholar's ideal is to be an official by studying-"to study hard and be an official". You know, scientific research officials have been in charge for more than a thousand years, and talents are stable. Of course, it is undeniable that traditional cultural education still has positive significance. Now we learn from the west, engage in marketing, emphasize money, and lack integrity, which may have gone astray. At present, there are still unavoidable weaknesses in the systematic management of educational science in China, which are embodied in "learning to be excellent is to be an official" Be the best teacher, the best dean, the best professor, the best principal, engage in scientific research, and the best research leader. Laymen don't care.

Thousands of years of feudal system and feudal consciousness hindered the growth of scientific thought. We have seen many famous historical figures who appeared as patriots, and they are also outstanding officials. However, there is only "liberal arts" in scientific research, and there is no "science". Science and technology have never been taken seriously. Skillful craftsmen in the folk are completely a way of mentoring education, forming an existing folk cultural heritage. /kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, there was no university in China, only a private school, which taught the Four Books and Five Classics, a little arithmetic instead of mathematics. Modern university halls in China, such as Peking University, have only a history of nearly a hundred years, which is the result of Mr. Li Hongzhang's westernization. Only in modern times, China society was impacted by the powerful "productivity" of western science and technology. Young people who love their country and their families have gone to study up and down. Many of them have had parties. The May 4th Movement was a new cultural revolution, claiming to have introduced Mr. De and Mr. Sai (science and democracy). This is the struggle and exploration of predecessors, bringing new ideas and concepts. Until today, "returnees" have promoted China, and the great China is rising!

The feudal consciousness mentioned earlier may not be accurate. It can be said that it is the philosophy of China people, which also limits its scientific contribution to the world. China people's traditional concept of treating the world is the unity of man and nature. The so-called "three lights, heaven and earth, three kinds, the sun, the moon and the stars". Conservative thinking, worship of heaven and earth ghosts and gods, so far! In the era of information network, our compatriots use it to tell fortune, see feng shui and see strange things in ancient times. Look at the idioms left by our ancestors. They are whimsical, daydreaming, cranky, unconventional and stand out from the crowd. Most of them are derogatory terms! You see, you want to do something different, which is not much better than Copernicus' environment at that time, and people around you don't think you have a brain problem, so you are tolerant. On the positive side, obeying the rules and being mentally retarded are commendable. Confucius said, "I have five out of ten, and I am determined to learn it." Standing at 30, not confused at 40, knowing destiny at 50, listening at 60 and walking at 70 are still a standard for people to measure how others view themselves. Standing at the age of 30 is not to get married, but to know the rules of being a man and know the "ceremony". It's wrong to treat it as a gift now. ) Confucius and Mencius' thoughts are highly regarded to the extreme. Without thinking, how can there be creation?

Therefore, the May 4th Movement was really an ideological emancipation movement. This is the only way for China people to see western science and technology in the whole global village and realize that science and technology are productive forces!
