【正文】 inese picture of doublefish images 雙魚形象 天有不測風云，人有旦夕禍福。 Storms gather without warning in nature； bad luck befalls men overnight. Yang Hsienyi The weather and human life are both unpredictable. Hawkes 人無千日好，花無百日紅。 Man cannot be always fortunate。 flowers do not last forever. Nobody can always be happy. 疾風知勁草，患難見真情。 Strong winds test sturdy grass。 calamities reveal true friendship. In calamities one sees true friendship. 在天愿作比翼鳥，在地愿為連理枝。 In the sky, we will be two love birds flying together。 on earth we will be twin branches on a tree. We will love and be loyal to each other forever. 病來如山倒，病去如抽絲。 Sickness es like a landslide but goes like reeling silk. Sickness es suddenly but goes slowly.

Chinese mode of thinking is interiororiented, focusing more on the moral inquiry into human nature (the subjective world) with emphasis on ethics and social practice. Ethical 倫理 Cognitive 認知 西方思維模式是外向的，關(guān)注對客觀世界（大自然）進行認知探索，重視科學與理論。 中國思維模式是內(nèi)向的，關(guān)注對主觀世界（人性）進行道德探索，重視人倫與社會實踐。 Ethical 倫理 Cognitive 認知 Ontology Cosmology Epistemology Methodology 仁 義 禮 智 信 忠 恕 孝 悌 本體論 宇宙論 認識論 方法論 benevolence righteousness rites wisdom reliability loyalty fiveness filial piety respect for elders Chinese Mode Western Mode Holistic 整體性 Analytical 分析性 Intuitive 直覺性 Logical 邏輯性 Imaginal 形象性 Abstract 抽象性 Ethical 倫理型 Cognitive 認知型 Fuzzy 模糊性 Accurate 精確性 Intentional 意向性 Objective 對象性 Convergent 求同性 Divergent 求異性 Pastfocused 后饋性 Futurefocused 前瞻性 Inward 內(nèi)向性 Outward 外向性 Inductive 歸納型 Deductive 演繹型 The Advantages of Each Mode of Thinking The linear mode of thinking characterized by analytical reasoning and emphasis on clarity and precision is conducive to theoretical construction. The circular mode of thinking characterized by synthetic insight and stress on fuzziness and implicitness contributes to empirical revelation of truth. 兩種思維模式各有所長 線性思維模式長于分析推理，推崇清晰精確，有利于理論建構(gòu)；環(huán)性思維模式強于綜合頓悟，講求模糊含蓄，有助于體察真諦。 Conclusion 結(jié)論 Western mode of thinking is paratively linear. Chinese mode of thinking is relatively circular. 西方思維模式 相對以線性 /分析型 為特征 中國思維模式 相對以環(huán)性 /綜合型 為特征 Afterthought 追加的話 Difference: a matter of degree 差異只是程度之差 Exceptions and counterevidence 不乏例外和反證 Purpose: not to judge, but to promote understanding 比較的目的并非判定孰優(yōu)孰劣，而是促進理解。 The moon of the west is not rounder and the sun of the east has its spots as well. 西方的月亮并不更圓，東方的太陽也有黑子。 中西文化互相融合，取長補短 線與環(huán)的結(jié)合： 線以環(huán)的形式伸展 環(huán)以線的形式旋轉(zhuǎn) The integration of the line and the circle: The line extends in the form of a circle. The circle rotates in the form of a line. Create an even more splendid world civilization! 創(chuàng)造更加燦爛輝煌的 世界文明！ Thank you! Email:
