What's the difference between Chinese and western humor?

I am ignorant. Let me briefly talk about my own views and correct my shortcomings.

Western humor has a profound cultural background. Westerners' humor can't be said to be innate, but it can be said to be born with humorous cells. There is a saying in the west that can explain this situation incisively and vividly, that is: you can not be a good person, but you must never be a person who doesn't understand humor. The Russian writer Chekhov also said: People who don't know how to joke are hopeless.

Most western humor is full of wisdom, more subtle and more thoughtful. Westerners know how to laugh at themselves, and are good at expressing humor with self-deprecating methods, and at the same time gain the intimacy of each other.

Comparatively speaking, the development of humor culture in China is relatively backward. China is a country that has experienced feudal system for thousands of years. People have strong self-restraint and worry too much. They prefer to show their perfect self in communication with others, and it is difficult to laugh at themselves. Therefore, humor is mostly directed at the third party, which is relatively simple and direct, less clever and subtle. Now it has developed into a situation of "yellow jokes, short messages and limerick flying all over the sky". Most of these dirty jokes are vulgar and have no hierarchy. I personally oppose them.

Humor is a manifestation of wisdom, which must be based on rich knowledge. Only when a person has the ability to assess the situation and extensive knowledge can he be rich in conversation and interested in Miao Yan, thus making an appropriate metaphor. Humorous people feel calm, equal, detached, relaxed and intelligent. I sincerely hope that the development of humor culture in China can be on the right track, with less vulgar taste and more wisdom and elegance.
