Chinese differ from Westerners

Illustrations by Yang Liu

Chinese differ from Westerners in their worldview, behaviour, reactions and preferences. There are many volumes of literature, hundreds of dissertations about that issue. No matter how many years you have lived and worked with Chinese, you will not be able to get used 100% to the differences. Even after you’ve learned the classics by heart, you may admit that you don’t understand Chinese at all.

We want to show you a series of graphic illustrations made by the Chinese artist Yang Liu. She lived in China until the age of 14, then moved to Germany. She was able to quite clearly display the difference between the Eastern and Western approaches to life. Of course, China is changing and modernizing rapidly. And, perhaps, after some time, some of the postulates from this scheme will become obsolete. Moreover, any scheme is a generalization. And there are always exceptions to the rule.

The blue parts are Western, the red parts are Chinese.



Freedom of expression

Chinese differ from Westerners

This scheme illustrates not only freedom of expression, but also the way to attain the goal. Western clearly see the goal and goes to it. The Chinese follow a twisting route. They focus not on the goal, but on the way to it – the process is more important. This path will never be straight. Only evil gooie spirits walk on straight paths. This feature is also embedded in speech: due to the fact that there are many homophones in the Chinese language. Homophones – words that sound the same, but are spelt differently and have different meanings. Such situations often arise when the interlocutors misunderstand each other. Therefore, the Chinese say the same thing several times, in different words. A European will say this much faster, with a minimum of words and phrases.



Punctuality

Chinese differ from Westerners

“Accuracy is the courtesy of kings and the duty of all good people”. With these words, the rapid development of etiquette begins in Europe. The Chinese have a more vague framework. However, if the Chinese want to please you, he will appear second a second, and sometimes in advance.



Queue behaviour

Chinese differ from Westerners

Quite often the Chinese stand like this – in a bunch. And as space becomes free, they rush to the target, actively working with their elbows. You snooze, you lose. At the same time, if you politely ask to let you pass, they will do it without any questions.



The noise level in public places

Chinese differ from Westerners

In Europe, public places are generally much quieter than in China. They all speak loudly. However, you quickly get used to it.

If you want to study in China, please, contact our consultants. They will answer all your questions. Also, you can leave your questions in the comments below.



Social communications

Chinese differ from Westerners

Western society is more atomic; a person does not have many personal connections. In China, personal connections play a very important role. Basically, everything is achieved through personal connections. The web of all kinds of relationships – family, friendship, business. Thanks to this, many issues can be solved quite easily. However, this is also a serious obstacle.



Problem-solving approach

Chinese differ from Westerners

If the problem can be circumvented, the Chinese will do it. This is the art of Tao – not to go through the thicket, but to get around obstacles. Just like water flows around a stone. In this regard, the Chinese differ from Westerners quite strong.



Own ego

Chinese differ from Westerners

The ideas of human rights, personal integrity and private property have a long history in Europe. Collectivism is one of the characteristics of the Chinese. The ego is criticized both in traditional teachings (Confucianism, Taoism) and in Buddhism. The ego is what obscures the Tao, the true nature of reality, from the person.



Relationship with the leader

Chinese differ from Westerners

Between the leader and subordinates in China, a vertical relationship of the “senior-junior”. It is governed by the Confucian principles of “fatherly love” and “filial piety.” Even if the boss is younger than the subordinate.



Travel behaviour

Chinese differ from Westerners

Comparing Europeans and Chinese people, the Chinese take a lot more pictures. Moreover, they still love to be photographed. Sometimes it is difficult to photograph an object because a Chinese woman or a couple taking the most incredible poses while someone photographs them.



Three meals per day

Chinese differ from Westerners

Europeans and Americans often use semi-finished foods. The Chinese, on the other hand, prefer freshly prepared food or food in eateries. However, young people actively buy semi-finished products and eat them.



Popular dishes

Chinese differ from Westerners

For a Westerner, Western food is still more familiar and popular, and for the Chinese, Chinese. But with exotic things the opposite is true. For us, exotic is oriental cuisine, and for the Chinese – European cuisine.



You may be interested in reading this article to help you prepare for your trip to China.

Drink preferences

Chinese differ from Westerners

The fact that all Chinese people drink tea is not entirely true. Good tea is very expensive. Therefore, many Chinese people still prefer plain water.



Attitude to weather and life situations

Chinese differ from Westerners

Keeping face in all situations is another quality of the Chinese. This is primarily about educated Chinese or those who want to please you.



Party behaviour

Chinese differ from Westerners

At parties in Europe, buffets are often held. Society is split into small groups. The Chinese, on the other hand, often sit at a large common table with dishes.



Attitude towards elders

Chinese differ from Westerners

The Chinese do not have such a developed pension system as in European countries. Caring for the older generation often falls on their children and grandchildren. Moreover, in traditional society, the older generation is the bearer of knowledge and traditions that it must pass on to young people. However, on the Chinese streets, you will not find grandparents with grandchildren everywhere. Usually, you will the elderly near parks or houses.

In this article, we have explained how the Chinese differ from Westerners using illustrations by Yang Liu. You can find more illustrations by following that link.

Numbers in China

Chinese numbers

As in all countries of the world, numbers in China are used to represent different digits. As elsewhere, Chinese numbers are divided into two types:

  • ordinal numbers: which denote the serial number of something, for example, the first, second;
  • quantitative numbers: denoting quantity or count.

You should write numbers in China, like all other written characters, by using hieroglyphs. This is the main difference between the Chinese numbers and European ones. You can write composite numbers by combining hieroglyphs in the desired order.

In China, you can count up to trillions, the large digit capacity of numerals in Chinese will allow you to do this. There are two styles to write numbers in China:

  • regular: they have a simplified form and people use them in everyday life;
  • official: this style means writing numbers in the form of a complex combination of hieroglyphs. People use them mainly in official documents, invoices, checks in stores.

The picture below illustrates how Chinese numbers can be shown by hand:

Numbers in China

The numbers in China look like this:

1
èr 2
sān 3
4
5
lìu 6
7
8
 jǐu 9
Líng 0

In order to write down the numbers from 11 to 19, you must first write the hieroglyph 十 (shí), meaning “ten”, then the numbers from one to nine are added. Numbers from 20 to 99 can be written in a similar way, the only difference is that the hieroglyph “ten” must be written not before the number, but after. If the number has a capacity in units, then it is indicated by the third hieroglyph from the right. We will show you some examples:

20 – 二十, 30 – 三十, 40-四十, 50-五十,25-二十五,38-三十八,99-九十九

If we talk about ordinal numbers, then everything is simpler. They are formed only with the prefix di (第), for example, Dì yī – the first, Dì wǔ – the fifth, etc.

Interesting fact. In Chinese, all items are counted exclusively in pieces. For example, you cannot say “two bananas”, the Chinese say “three pieces of bananas”.

Since ancient times, numbers in China have been used not only to indicate numbers but also as symbols. Odd numbers are Yang masculine, and even numbers are Yin feminine.

Meaning of numbers

We will briefly tell you what the Chinese numbers from 0 to 9 mean:

— 0 is used to denote completeness, emptiness and God. Zero is infinity; it has no beginning or end.

— 1 symbolizes leadership, honor and dignity and denotes continuous improvement and development.

— 2 is the balance between Yin and Yang, that is, between a woman and a man, also denotes cooperation. Often at wedding ceremonies, you can see the hieroglyph of this figure, because it means “double happiness”.

— 3 According to the “Book of Changes”, which describes all the numbers in China, the number 3 is the unification of earth, sky and man. Three for luck, success and achievement of goals.

— 4 it is a figure of the material order, it symbolizes the material world. However, this figure can be compared with our number “13”, it is also considered an unfavourable sign and is pronounced like the word “death”. In Chinese hotels, you cannot find a fourth floor and a fourth room.

— 5 these are water, fire, metal, wood and earth (philosophical elements), as well as health, longevity, love of life, prosperity and death (blessings). A very significant figure for the Chinese.

— 6 auspicious number, similar to the word “prosperity”.

— 7 considered a feminine number that determines her future life.

— 8 denotes abundance. People use as a talisman and defining a man’s life.

— 9 contains the characteristics of all the above numbers, therefore it is considered the number of the emperor.

These are such mysterious and interesting numbers in China, not just squiggles indicating the quantity, but symbols of wisdom.
