Chinese to English: Why do Chinese suffer from lack of love? General field: Other Detailed field: Philosophy
Source text - Chinese 从这些论述，我们可以看到，儒家所说的爱的情感，与今天主流社会灌输的对爱的观点，并不相同。儒家认为，人对自己的关心要超过对别人的，人对自己父母的爱也会深于对他人父母之爱。在儒家看来，只有在承认这种真实情感的前提下，才能真正做到由己及亲、由亲及人，进而实现一种由人及于天下万物的普遍仁爱。
Translation - English From this discussion, we can see that the Confucian idea of love are not the same as the mainstream concept of love instilled by today's society. Confucianism believes that the concern for oneself should surpass the concern for others, and the love for one's own parents should also be deeper than the love for others' parents. In the view of Confucianism, only by acknowledging these genuine feelings, can one truly realise the universal benevolence from humans to everything in the world, starting from one's parents, and then on to others.
In Chinese traditional culture, these philosophical perceptions of love and feelings are completely separated from our education and mainstream discourse. This is one of the reasons that Chinese people suffer from a lack of love. In contrast with countries that have religious traditions, Chinese people's love and feelings have, since ancient times, been fostered through education instead of through church. If China's education system totally lacked education on love and feelings, then it would be difficult to cure Chinese people's lack of love. We would live in a cold and detached country.
