摘要
Chinese culture, which has been regarded as a collectivistic one by such great heads as G. Hofstede and Triands for a long time, seldom receives challenge on its very nature. The authors, however, found at least three critical mistakes in Hofstede＇s work, and raised their argument that Chinese culture is not a collectivistic one, but a ＂shi＂ culture which relies heavily on context. The split of mind is the fundamental cause of this ＂shi＂ culture.
长期以来，中国文化一直被认为属于集体主义的范畴，这一观点被西方着名文化理论家，如：Hofstede和Triands等所肯定，并很少有人对此提出质疑。然而，作者在研究中发现，Hofstede所做的结论至少有三个方面的关键性错误，并据此提出中国文化并不属于集体主义，而是属于封特定场合具有极强依赖性的“势”文化，而思维分裂是“势”文化的根源。
