Chinese characters by default are very philosophical and nature-oriented. Our ancestors converted many of the characters from the shape and essence of the nature. Certain philosophical or metaphysical adjectives derived from two or more nouns and make them into 1 single Chinese character. It is therefore 4 characters of ancient Chinese word may require 4 lines of written English words to fully describe its meaning.
Learning Chinese language can easily lead you to achieve collective consciousness because of its nature. This is also one of the reasons why Buddhism and Zen were easily brought from India to China. At the very least, you do not need to keep looking at your watch while writing in Chinese -- it does not have PAST, PRESENT, PRESENT CONTINUOUS, and PAST CONTINUOUS TENSES. :)
