By abandoning these stereotypes such as pride as Asians and thinking coldly, do you really think that Chinese civilization is superior to the West? When the Chinese lived in primitive life, the Western island of Crete already blossomed splendid city civilization. The West accepted the Bronze Age culture much earlier, and the same goes for iron. Not only the Mediterranean Sea, but also inland Europe, which was the periphery of civilization at the time, entered the Bronze Age in 2000 BC. When I was regaining the Bunseo in China, I calculated the radius of the Earth from the West and the distance to the moon. Some of the mathematics and science we learn in school are already complete then. Since then, the East has caught up with the West since the A.D. West entered the Christian civilization zone. The East's catch-up with the West was not a rapid development in the East, but the East, which gradually developed due to the fall of the West, took the lead as it suppressed studies other than theology due to the absolutist exclusivity of Western Christianity. It doesn't mean anything to assume the past itself because it violates the facts, but if the West hadn't been Christianized, there wouldn't be a dark age of the Middle Ages 1000 years, and by now we might be traveling in space amid civilizations that have evolved over 1000 years... People in the East may DDR that the West is a technological civilization, while the Eastern spiritual civilization has developed further... But where did the best mental values of modern people come from, such as dignity, freedom, equality, human rights, and humanity peace? Even this originated from ancient Greek ideas. Moreover, the ancient Greek positivism and rationalism spirit, which saved the Earth's radius and calculated the distance to the moon, brought about numerous civilizations, and had such a spiritual tradition, creating a calm debate culture rather than violence, and mentally awakening humans to bring human dignity. Of course, there was a contradiction of having slavery while practicing democracy in ancient Greece, but such a spirit served as the basis for the development of modern democracy in the future. It doesn't matter if you tell me you're from the West. I think I thought coldly that I was not even a four-way attitude toward the West.
