You cannot cut off process from result by your logic.I cannot speak,read english,so i havent "culture " in english
No you misunderstand my words, result oriented doesnt mean there are no process nor the process is being cut out. It just simply means I dont care much about the process, as long as it dont cause me trouble, and as long as I yield the result I wanted.
Take the example of breathing, most people dont give a damn how they breath(process), as long as they dont smell in something bad, and they dont suffocate(result). But for the Chi Kung practisers, the breathing process is actually very important, and they enjoy the process and result of practising Chi Kung. Thats why Chi Kung is a culture, while breathing is a tool, although for someone who cannot differentiate between culture and tool, both appear to be the same.
Listen, before you give me your precious comment about how enjoying the process of breathing is "crazy", "outdated", "worthless", "futile", "inefficient", "wasted of time and effort", "unscientific" etc, I can tell you, culture is not something that can be brand with such "tags". The moment you start branding culture in these tags, the world in your point of view will be full of tools, not culture.
The sad thing is, most of the chinese today are actually living in a world full of tools, in their point of view, of course. Yet what makes thing worse is they actually think they are all cultured and civilized, but in reality they have none. They are not "cultured" at all, because they only treat these things as tools, not culture.
Take my experience as a HanFu restoration member, we are always being attack by people who claim how pigtail is the best, how manchu Qing was the best, how bad HanFu is and how bad Ming China was. But in reality these people do not love pigtail and manchu Qing at all, because they do not treat pigtail as a culture, they did not have the balls to shave a pigtail and go outdoor in the broad day light. Hell, most of these "pigtail supporter" actually hate pigtail and manchu Qing to the core. They only use pigtail as tools to try to eradicate us, to try to destroy one of the most important culture in chinese history, a traditional culture we treat as a culture, not a mere tool, because we do not just wear HanFu solely for snapshot shows, we do not just wear HanFu solely for fashion shows either. Many of us wear HanFu for both indoor activities as well as outdoor activities, both traditional festivals and ceremonies. Some of us even try to integrate HanFu in our everyday life, starting by wearing HanFu to attend non traditional festivals and ceremonies, to wildlife camping, to nature walk, even during travel as a tourist. This is actually how we should treat a culture, how we try to restore a culture once lost.
