중국인의 행복에 관한 소고

Abstract

The study of happiness in China has been around for a long time now. Happiness goes beyond the mere academic category and is a core value concept shared by all Chinese people, and is an important voice that expresses socialism of Chinese characteristics well. Therefore, what is the happiness felt by the Chinese people, and an analysis of the factors that make up these happiness and the path to feeling happiness is needed. This study has so far analyzed the consciousness of Chinese people’s happiness from traditional and modern perspectives, and finally analyzed the degree of happiness the Chinese people feel today. The main results are as follows: First, Chinese people think health and property are the most important factors in happiness. Second, the traditional Chinese view of happiness is based on the religious ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which are traditional Chinese religions, but new changes have emerged since the establishment of New China. In other words, socialist ideas have begun to influence the Chinese people’s happiness. Third, the interest in social security and the environment is rapidly increasing among the elements of happiness felt by the Chinese people at present.
