(1) Differentiating the two levels of culture and personality

The performance of people's Gree is restricted by culture. The personality of each era is influenced by its own culture.

to discuss the relationship between culture and personality, we should first distinguish the concept of culture. There are many ways to understand culture. I adopt such an understanding, that is, first of all, the cultural area is divided into "narrow sense culture" and "broad sense culture". The purpose of this distinction is to consider the relationship between culture and personality more conveniently. As we will see later, the relationship between culture and personality can also be examined at two levels.

(2) The significance of distinguishing between culture and personality

Only the two levels of Chu culture and personality can be distinguished. When discussing the relationship between China traditional culture and personality, we can avoid some unnecessary confusion.

Since the 2th century, there has been a great debate about the relationship between China traditional culture and China personality in academic circles at home and abroad. Leaving aside the historical background, political background and other backgrounds of these debates for the time being, there is a logical ambiguity in these debates, that is, these two levels of the relationship between Chu culture and personality have not been distinguished.

human nature:

selfishness, cooperation, love and compassion. It is passed down from gene to gene, and the degree of individual is different. It's innate instinct.

culture:

for an individual, it is the enlightenment of human civilization. Both material and spiritual. Everyone who lives in society has a culture, but the aspects and depth of culture are different. Culture comes from family, school, all living environments, books, observation, thinking and hearsay. Everyone has a shallow consciousness of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and is often more willing to accept a culture that is beneficial to them.

Culture supplements and corrects human nature, forming personality.
