Abstract

The exchange and integration of Chinese and foreign civilizations have been in existence since ancient times, and the different forms of communication have transmitted to each other not only the material achievements, technological achievements, natural species, and artificial products of the East and the West, but also the values and ethical concepts, which are of great value to the interactive influence of culture. The Buddhist concepts of reincarnation, mindfulness, epistemology, and karma from the West have widely spread and changed in China, have become increasingly integrated into the mainstream ethics of Chinese culture, and have become part of Chinese ethics. Although the spread of Islam to the East was limited to religion and minority culture and did not become the mainstream ideology of the Han Chinese as Buddhism did, it provided a very different frame of reference in terms of customs and folklore, with a profound impact. In modern times, the Western learning from the East and the Eastern learning from the West have pushed the exchange between Chinese and Western civilizations, ethical collision, and cultural integration to the peak. The traditional Chinese ethics were not only highly praised by some Western scholars such as Voltaire in France and Leibniz in Germany in the eighteenth century, but also transformed into an ethical wisdom containing the ethical values of both the East and the West, with Chinese characteristics and global orientation.
