The national character of the Chinese Bashny.Net

Is it true that Chinese people are cunning, curiosity, and completely unambitious?

Beautiful, alluring China, the planet's oldest civilization, a country of poets and philosophers, silk and tea, majestic mountains and graceful pagodas. Region, where in the East, densely populated and bustling cities, towering giant skyscrapers, and the West, the silence of the Tibetan plateau, heard the prayers of Buddhist monks. Where the North winds blow in the desert cold winds and mournful stretch Uighur songs, and in the South the sun is in the mirror of the rice terraces and on the banks of the wide river Lijiang lush cherry blossoms.





Today a lot of talk about this rapidly developing but still not fully clear to us the country. Without a doubt, the main factor of China's growth is its people. But do we know who are and what is Chinese? If you know how to communicate with them? And what are they so distant and close at the same time Asians are different from us?

Cunning and diplomacy

 





 

Entrepreneurs and businessmen often hear that the Chinese are hard negotiators, cheat and Dodge at every step. Yes, the Chinese are excellent diplomats. Scattering in the external expressions of friendship, they lull your vigilance, and eventually a roundabout way to reach their own goals.

The fact that throughout Chinese history of military Affairs in the state was not too developed. The soldiers were not held in high esteem: they were considered violators of a sacred China custom permissions problems by virtue. China — the "female" civilization, has always been highly honored by poets and artists, and that diplomacy was the main tool developed, civilized China in the protection of the surrounding territory of the barbarian tribes and nomads. No wonder the famous military strategist sun Tzu wrote: "the Greatest victory is a victory without a fight." So to believe in the sincerity of the Chinese are just not worth it: in this case, the law "on mind and language" is not working. If a Chinese tells you, "You speak excellent Chinese!", or "are You from Russia? You are the best!", or "You look unbelievable" does not mean that he is really crazy about you and you are very interested, just comply with the necessary etiquette to have you to myself. The best answer in this case is traditionally Chinese, "Well what do you think you, let alone me."

Curiosity

 





 

With the experience of the Chinese neighbours childish curiosity. About themselves they do not like to talk (as taught by the father of the Chinese economic miracle, Deng Xiaoping: "Not to disclose their talents"), but to know that Yes, like the others, is with a great pleasure. So, first, do not be surprised that on the street and in public transport you will have to carefully scrutinize a dozen pairs of eyes — and in response direct the eye view they not withdrawn, not seeing idle curiosity nothing wrong with that. Secondly, girls are not too offended when a stranger young people will load you up with questions: "Hey! Where are you from, what country? How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

It is interesting that such a curiosity was not originally peculiar to the Chinese people. On the contrary, the rulers and officials of ancient China showed not too much interest in the rest of the world, believing themselves the Middle Kingdom, and the Emperor — the ruler of the Universe.

We with China have changed roles: now we wonder, which wants to get a closer look, even touch

Until the nineteenth century, China enjoyed an isolation from foreign influence, and they also partly created, partly due to the geography of China. Mountains and deserts on the North and West, the ocean on the South and East was complicated by its connections with other countries. That all changed when just a few units of the British and French invaded China and forced him to conduct trade with them on their terms.

Having survived since the so-called "hundred years of humiliation" — foreign occupation, revolution, Civil war and Japanese aggression — China "stood up" and began the recovery of the economy, which in the end brought him to the path of borrowing the experience of other countries and in some sense the admiration of the West. All foreign now very interested in Chinese. Including you with your European appearance. We with China have changed roles: now we wonder, which wants to get a closer look, even touch (it happens). But don't get mad at the Chinese: think about how much they had to endure over the last two centuries to develop a healthy model of communication with the Europeans. Besides their friendly modesty in response to compliments in their address can not bribe: like children, they turn red and begin to babble: "No, I'm not as good as you say."

Bona fide students of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, they repeat after him: "I Have three treasures I cherish: the first is compassion, the second modesty in needs, the third — the reluctance to be first in heaven".

To each his own

 





 

The modern Chinese do not particularly ambitious. Each time, excuse me, a public toilet (which, incidentally, is free) a few cleaners. The seller in a small shop comfortably settled down in his chair behind the counter with the satisfied face. Confucius said: "the Ruler must be a ruler, officer — officer, father — father, son — son". Everyone has a duty, everyone knows their place. Why China has no high-ranking officials, has your business? Because you have to choose, you go, as the Chinese say, the red or the yellow line (i.e. the party in the leadership of the country or by trade — in business). And combining them does not allow the law. "We allow our entrepreneurs to have money, but don't allow them to take place", — stressed the Chinese.

Life in China despite the apparent rush of the huge flows of people, the noise, the shouts and car horns, flows in its own slowly and steadily. Our Russian "haste makes waste" is quite applicable to the Chinese. Ancient history, constant revolts and revolutions leading to changes of dynasties (in China, think about it, it was as much as 25!), this amazing made people resistant to any adversity, but at the same time made him as the Apple of the eye to cherish peace and harmony.

The great Russian poet Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev wrote: "blessed is he who visited this world in his fateful minutes! Its called auspicious as an interlocutor to the feast." The Chinese say: "God forbid you live in interesting times". The thoroughness cautious estimates, the ability to weigh the pros and cons characterize the Chinese way of thinking.

"When you are there at build finally democracy?" — stick to the Chinese, the Americans and Europeans. "Will be held for 700 years, and we'll see," — half-jokingly-half-serious nod to those.published
