Notes:
Chinese culture has always been considered unique in its enduring concern with morality. There is a commonly used phrase which well expresses this: guyou daode wenhua, which may be translated as “a culture which is traditionally moral.” This phrase is often used to describe the Chinese as opposed to other cultures which lay their emphasis on knowledge, religion, law, and so forth. A Chinese educator has recently made this point in contrasting Chinese and western philosophies of education. Whereas western cultures have traditionally stressed science (knowledge), religion and law, he says, Chinese culture has always stressed morality and art.
