Not much new to me here, although etymological examples of Chinese tradition culture, from choice of vocabulary even to structure of characters particularly revealing. The Chinese preoccupation of "face" (脸面)is also shown to be inter-woven throughout other strands of traditional Chinese culture, such as: 人情, 公私不分,义气, 窝里斗,官本位, 闲话 etc makes one wonder if China can ever eliminate rampant corruption or democratize its political system.
