Abstract Many scholars used to think that the general principle of social organization behind China' s social system was the kinship principle,which formed the social characteristic of″differential pattern″. This characteristic resulted in a Chinese culture of low credibility,thus impeding the development of China .But through historical analysis and game deduction,it is observed that since China differs in the origin of game theory from India and Europe the Chinese build″direct trust″,a trust mode based on the principle of sympathy .Although this mode is superior to others in terms of reality,scope and strength,the direct trust carries with it a degree of liability as a result of the periodic disintegration and reconstruction of auxiliary impersonal trust as well as the transition and external threat of modern society . Therefore,the pattern of Chinese people' s trust given to different objects varying in order and intensity gradually manifests itself with the changes of the security circumstances in China . The social characteristic of″differential pattern″in China is mainly concerned with the time relation and its subsequent expansion into a space relation .
