林语堂论中国国民性格的缺陷

LinYutang's Criticism about National Personality of Chinese

林语堂认为中国民众喜好委曲求全、缺乏法治精神、不团结、保守、不重视系统的逻辑思维等,这些不良性格的形成同理学与中国的社会环境有很大关系,只有改变中国的经济、政治、思想环境,才能实现中国国民性格的现代化。

Lin Yutang thought that Chinese people were fond of scooping to compromise, lacked legal spirit, disunited with each other, were conservative and paid less attention to logic thought. The formation of these bad personalities is greatly affected by the influence of Confucianism and social environment. Only by changing the environment of economy, politics and thought in China, can the citizen＇ s personality of Chinese be modernized.
