ABSTRACT

Cultural creation is philosophically a human activity to create a cultural value. The perspective of cultural creation provides the exact lens through which a nation’s cultural creativity tendency or acceptance inclination can be judged. This article discusses traditional cultural characteristics in the context of confucianism-centered cultural development both in China and Japan from the view of cultural creation. I find that: (i) at least before modern times, Chinese culture (traditional Chinese culture) is characterized by a strong cultural creativity tendency but Japanese culture by a strong acceptance inclination; (ii) consistent with such a historical background of central culture migration in the cultural circle of East Asia, I mean that traditional Chinese culture and western culture should be integrated to further adapt to the trend of globalization in the creation of new culture in line with the development of China.
