Abstract

Chinese swordsmen spirit and Western chivalry, as representatives of Chinese culture and Western culture, both embody the spirit of valuing martial arts and the excellent qualities of being kind, honest, brave and justice to others. However, due to the influence of different cultural backgrounds, historical trajectories and national spirits, they exhibit different characteristics. Therefore, this paper analyzes the similarities and differences between swordsmen spirit and chivalry from three aspects: historical origin, social status and the inner power of chivalrous behavior.
