The ancient Greek civilization was basically the product of luck, but to say that the spirit of Western civilization was completely born out of this, it is also true that how could the medieval Christian civilization evolve into the Enlightenment, while the Confucian civilization in the Central Plains still casts a shadow on the modern Chinese society. Or dark medieval shadows. The important reason is that Christianity believes in God. God sees everything and decides whether a person's soul is immortal or not. Therefore, the foundation of Christian civilization is morality derived from the heart. Confucian civilization also emphasizes the rule of virtue as the foundation of its theory. However, in practice, the real belief is actually the etiquette, which values the form of benevolence and righteousness rather than the heart of benevolence and righteousness. Even in the darkest times, the two words "honor" and "dignity" that have been consistently used in Western civilization still live in the Bible and in people's hearts. The "Four Books and Five Classics" also seems to be written with morality, but later people read the two characters of etiquette and how to "eat people". It is the strong "self-esteem" of Westerners that gives birth to "courage", "morality", "rationality", "freedom", "equality", "democracy" and "sympathy".
