Analysis:
18: On April 30th, 34, the world culture types can be divided into mainland culture, marine culture and island culture. China is the first representative of mainland culture. China is a big country as well as a mainland country. Although China has a long coastline, it is not extroverted but introverted in the historical development. China culture is based on agriculture, family-oriented, and centralization of authority as the ruling framework. These three points determine that it has created unprecedented brilliant achievements in the feudal era, and it is also difficult for it to break free from the shackles of mainland culture. Therefore, although it has a glorious history, it lags behind and is defeated by the West in the capitalist era. Another representative of mainland culture is India. Although India is surrounded by the sea on three sides, its center of gravity is inland. It is at the intersection of east and west, but unfortunately it is unwilling to develop eastward or westward. On the other hand, Orientals often think that India is the destination of the West, and West Renye Fang also thinks that India is the destination of the East. So India became the so-called "billiards bag". Although it is embraced by the ocean, it does not regard the ocean as its own road of civilization development, which is quite similar to the traditional culture of China.
The representative of marine culture is Western European civilization, or Christian civilization. Western European civilization has been open since ancient Greece, and in the Renaissance, there is an unprecedented demand for extroversion. So the coastal countries developed rapidly, first Spain and Portugal, then Italy, then the Netherlands, Britain and France. So from the beginning of ocean voyage, taking Columbus's discovery of the new continent as an opportunity, a glorious page of modern western civilization was opened.
Compared with marine culture, island culture has its own characteristics. Cultural representatives of island countries are the first to promote Britain and Japan. Island culture combines the characteristics of marine culture and mainland culture, with strong cohesion at home and strong openness at abroad. Because of its internal cohesion, it has some characteristics of mainland culture; Because it is open to the outside world, it has some characteristics of marine culture. Island countries are generally small in size and not rich in resources. Although there is development, there is not much room. Because of the lack of resources, it has enhanced the unique sense of crisis of island people; Because there is not much room for internal development, they are more determined to expand outward. It is precisely because of this feature that the British can create economic miracles in Europe in the 17 and 18 centuries, and the Japanese can stand out as Asians and take the lead in entering the ranks of developed countries in the world.
