Chinese values are changing

How to understand the inner thinking of Chinese people!

By zhuwhPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

During the 40 years of reform and opening up, Chinese people's values have also undergone major changes. The concept of utilitarianism or realism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chinese society is becoming more and more complex, but from another perspective, this society is also becoming more and more simple. A highly developed society has the following characteristics:

1: Every thing has a definite attribution, and everything has its own;

2: Every kind of thing has a clear price, and the price is clearly marked together;

3: Everything can be exchanged and traded anytime, anywhere;

The more the society develops, the simpler and purer the relationship between people is. Everything is returning to its original nature, everything is clearly marked, and everything is an exchange of value. Value is the highest dimensional thing in this world. If everything can be seen from the perspective of value, there is nothing in the world that cannot be seen through. For example, whether it is love or marriage, if you look at a problem from an emotional point of view, you will never be able to see it thoroughly or circumvent it. You cannot tell right from wrong in a relationship, but if you can see the problem from the perspective of value, everything All solved. The idea of ​​the right match used to be considered feudal dross is now considered the truth of the world.

Why are people so realistic now? Why are people so easy to separate now? Because people jumped out of the shackles of secular morality and went straight to the value. Where the value is, there is love everywhere. Where the value vanishes, everything vanishes. Some people say, isn't value the benefit? In this way, the understanding is narrow, and "value" is a higher dimension than "interest". As the saying goes: if you meet with benefits, the benefits will be dissipated; if you meet with love, if you break it, you will hurt. This shows that feelings and interests are low-dimensional things, and the only long-term relationship between people is not maintained by "feelings". , not by "interest", but by "value". The essence of value is a kind of fulfillment. If you want to be really good to a person, the best way is to fulfill him! In this world, no one is obliged to be loyal to another. All the loyalty of people is evolving the loyalty to the value. In the future, don't expect someone to be unconditional loyalty and dedication to you, unless you always have the value he wants to get here. Once your value disappears, not only will the times abandon you, but the people around you will also abandon you, such as cooperation, love, and marriage.

As a result, all traditional relationships are torn to shreds, and new ethical/personal/commercial relationships are torn down and rebuilt. Some people complain that today's Chinese society is becoming less and less human, and people are too realistic. In fact, it is because everything has been valued/quantified/standardized. Money is the specific quantification of value. Once value is quantified, many problems are simplified. The dark side of human nature has no room to play, and there will be fewer and fewer things to argue with each other, and the overall operation efficiency will become higher and higher. Only in this way can the trust between people be greatly increased, and the internal friction between people will be greatly reduced. Whether social or emotional/marriage, it is actually a value exchange, and this exchange must also conform to the law of value. What is "value exchange"? When two people are together, they can provide value to each other, or can enhance each other's value, that is, in a win-win situation, a real relationship will be established.

Finally, make a conclusion: no matter what country or social system you are in, as long as the productive forces develop to a certain stage, people will become more pure and their value will become more prominent. Making ourselves more valuable is our life event.
