Abstract

With the rapid development of the world economy, cross-cultural communication is increasing rapidly. However, due to the different cultural backgrounds, historical backgrounds and values of different countries, cross-cultural communication also presents some differences. “Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism” is the core of traditional Chinese culture, and even more so, it forms the basis of traditional Chinese culture, shaping and influencing the concepts of thinking and spirit of Chinese culture in a broader sense, as well as subconsciously influencing the thinking and actions of the Chinese people. The three words “Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism” refer to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism respectively. Confucianism is the Way of Confucius and Mencius, which regulates the social and human order, and is the way to tell people how to achieve natural and harmonious interactions in real life. Taoism is Laozhuang, the pursuit of selflessness. Buddhism is Zen Buddhism, represented by wisdom, which tells people how to be self-interested and altruistic.This article aims to explore the influence of traditional Chinese cultural concepts on the concept of “self-reflection” and “life, death and fortune” in Chinese communication from the aspect of “Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism”.
