Why To Be Excessive Inferiority ------ 1

 

 

Preface: This article is written for the protection of 

our TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

 

Recently , I read a blog and was shocked:

 

I was surprised to find that many persons have no

self-confidence and extreme inferiority , which is 

not desirable at all!

       

 The article quoted Mr . Arthur Henderson Smith's 

words , saying:

“Chinese people are confused , and they are used 

to explaining facts by facts themselves .”

 

Mr. A·H·Smith also said that one of the reasons for 

this result is that Chinese nouns have no case change . 

They have neither "gender" nor "case".

         

Such a view is really strange !

So, It is easy to refute this view：

 

1.  There is no principled error in discussing according

to facts.

 

2. In fact, we rarely use a fact to explain the fact 

itself.

Because we have enough argumentation methods

so that we never lack what they have !

Of course , in spoken language , we may only focus on

how to tell others what we mean , but ignore logical

reasoning , which is just to meet the language efficiency

in spoken language .

 

Actually, it is the same in their own language :

They often only pay attention to oral efficiency so that 

few of them keep an eye on logics in oral.

 

And what the speaker said were just examples of our 

oral conversations .

3. Our Chinese does not have gender or case ,  but 

when necessary , our language has enough methods 

to express gender and case clearly so that we never 

need to use other languages for expressing gender 

or case.

Therefore , our language does not have any defects in 

this respect !

In a word , there is no reason that can cause our 

thoughts to be confused!
