I think the difference between Chinese and European cultures is that China culture belongs to iconicity thinking, while western culture belongs to rational thinking. Both have a deep historical accumulation. China's traditional culture focuses on the structure of imagination, while western culture focuses on the representation of real life. Take myths and legends as an example. The characters in China's mythology all have noble character, and seldom involve their private lives. The characters in western myths and legends show the selfishness and greed of human nature.
