The conceptof spirituality in this religion, originated in the West now has beensublimated not limited to religion, but as spiritual studies, mostly fromthe West, so the existing mental research is still mainly to religiousspirituality; China has no real sense of religion, even a minority faithdid not constitute a universality, can not be the same as in the West areligion as a spiritual entity represents. Different cultures inherentspiritual differences, if we really want to expand the study of the spiritof the Chinese people, the spirit of local significance explore first ofall from the perspective of cultural psychology.
