The Chinese Cultural Psychology In Social Proverbs

Since1980’s, there are many disputes about the content of Chinese culture teaching.The disputes mainly focus on teaching culture or language.In Professor Zhong Yinghua’s inspiration, I read all of the culture articles which is written by Mr. Xu Jialu, and study the other relevant culture research papers.Then I have my own opinions about culture teaching.I quite agree with Zhang Ying about the content of culture teaching.she said that the content should be "deeply entrenched and fresh in real life".However, it should not focus on the specific content of culture. It should reveal the national culture psychology which is contained on behind these cultural contents.Indeed the psychology help foreigners understand Chinese and Chinese culture.This paper based on linguistics, involving some contents of the science of culture and psychology.The research object of this paper is Chinese proverbs. The content of proverbs is much and miscellaneous, and there are many contradictory to each other.It is almost impossible to reflect the mass cultural psychology,through data screening and careful logical argument to illustrate the connotation of proverb.So I can do generalize and refine the main cultural tendency from many social proverbs.This paper is divided into five chapters.The first chapter is the introduction.It contains the research origin, purpose,summary and the innovation.The second chapter introduces the relationship between proverbs,culture and national psychology, and the main viewpoints of Confucianism Taoism and Buddhism, which is the theoretical basis of the formation of the Chinese cultural psychology. The third chapter to the fifth chapter is the core of this paper. This part is divided into five aspects:personal moral cultivation, self protection, blood clan, concept of hierarchy, chivalrous feelings and psychological shield, covering the basic interpersonal relationships.Finally, It points out in the conclusion, by many thought influence, the psychological characteristics of Chinese is Restraint and generosity, modest and moderate,and the negative alert.These psychological characteristics has been hidden in the Chinese proverb, Therefore, culture teaching can join the national cultural psychology of teaching,and become a part of the culture and language teaching.
