发帖数: 3150 | 1 A recent survey of over 35, 500 single ladies in China offers some insight
into Chinese women's attitudes towards men and marriage. The survey, which
included questions such as "Why are you still single?" and "What kind of man
do you hope to marry?" shed light on the types of men that single Chinese
women prefer, with some surprising results.
While 51.13 percent of the women surveyed regarded "getting married" as
their goal, they reported that the top three male traits that made them

发帖数: 3728 | 3 托老，这点俺和你持不同观点。中国的传统文化，和孔教是两回事。
中华文明和其他文明最大的区别就是地广人多。
地小人少的文明早衰，比如Minoan, Phoenician,
Carthaginian等等。地小人多的文明象日韩有单一文化传统。地广人少的文明象印第安
人和毛利人则发展缓慢。地广人多的文明才能有多元化和不断变化的特征。五四也好，
改革开放也好，洋务也好，说到底就是穷则变，变则通。个人以为，中华文明最值得骄
傲的地方，不是孔孟之道，或者什么帝制，而是诸子百家的百家争鸣，以及在困境中的
革新的力量。这是任何一个现代Pluralism文明的特点。孔子，不过是诸子中的一子而
已。
但是，我同意托老的一个看法，即孔子是未来中国最有可能奉为真理的指导。
为啥呢？这是中国统治阶级和士大夫阶层最愿意标榜的信仰，作为自己的脸面，
是为孔教。 |

道家对形而上学的追求到了一个变态的高度（形而上学是科学的先声）。后来的阴阳五行说基本和古希腊的Pluralism仿佛。
西方之所以能够“轻松”摆脱古典形而上学（以及其他错误科学理论）乃至宗教的束缚，是因为科学方法论。科学方法论来自于古希腊的认知论和逻辑学，尤其是柏拉图和亚里士多德的贡献。
中国的名家和墨家很讲究逻辑学。道家和墨家都探索形而上学和认知论。墨家更是直接触及了具体科学的各个分支。
如果把哲学比喻为舌尖上的思想，这些诸子百家提供了各种精美高雅的大餐。
可惜最后中国被儒家这道清水阳春面统治了两千年。现在还那么多人边吸溜边叫好：居然能吃饱唉。 |

另一个是博物学传统，这个是从亚里士多德，到林奈、达尔文，一直到现在的道金斯，
一脉相承的。这一派的从业人员不是严格意义上的科学家。但是他们通过大量的观察
