This week we outline the final of the three levels of Chinese thinking.

Last week we outlined the first two levels - Yin Yang and Rushidao. We learn that the most fundamental and all pervasive basis of Chinese thinking is Yin Yang. Yin Yang is about balance as opposed to right and wrong. The next level, Rushidao, is about the Chinese equivalent of the Judaeo-Christian Ten Commandments.

This week we delve into the 5 Core Elements of Chinese thinking - the 5 most influential concepts that are taught by parents and schools throughout mainland China = Holistic Thinking, Zhong Yong, Connectedness, Guanxi/Renmai, and Mianzi.

Hang on to your hats Podcats ... laying out these concepts in 3 short podcasts is a hard slog, but learning a little about these concepts now will enable you to get "inside the Chinese Mind".
