from each other. These different values then were reflected on the cultrual difference,even on language. 3.The reasons for the formation of difference in chinese and western values There are many reasons for the formation of difference in chinese and western values,but we can make an induction from these reasons that the three main factors are named environmental adoptions,historical factors and philosophical basis of thinking patern.different nations vary in geogariphical and historical conditions,then different thinking patern come into being. On this account, they are diiferent in values. 4.1 As we know,it’s the mainstreanm of traditional chinese culture to persue the harmony between humankind and nature.since ancient times,china has hand an ecological idea that man and nature are integrated.the confucian put forward the concept of unity and said that we human beings must corm to god’s will.
