Why do more people read western philosophy now than China's ancient philosophy?

Mainly because western philosophy is more logical and readable, China's philosophy is difficult to understand, especially the classical Chinese in ancient Chinese. If translated into modern Chinese, many meanings cannot fully express the author's true feelings due to differences. As we know, there are two viewpoints in western philosophy, namely materialism and idealism. Anyone can choose one as the first, but in China's philosophy, the two are unified.

Western philosophy is readable because of its strong logic, clear words, complete article structure and clear expression of meaning. Most people can clearly understand what the author wants to express after reading it. However, China's ancient philosophy, especially many classic chapters in Tao Te Ching, has different charm after being translated into vernacular, because different translations will lead to different results. After reading several different versions, I feel that the meaning expressed is different.

The expression of words is unclear, which makes people difficult to understand, and at the same time, they have to "understand" the meaning of their predecessors, which is too metaphorical. Marxist philosophy, which belongs to the west, just solved the main contradiction in China's historical thought and became in line with China's philosophical thought. After contacting and studying China Thought, many people in the West began to believe that everyone should be a unique individual who fully knows himself.

Thinkers in China always use specific and unusual chapters in their daily lives to explain their views. They firmly believe that greater changes just happen at the level of daily life, and a complete life begins. Therefore, there is a great controversy between China's philosophy and western philosophy, and western philosophy is indeed easier to accept and understand than China's ancient philosophy.
