The main difference between Chinese and Western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine. Among friends, they will just order enough for the people there. If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite, then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests (e.g. four people, five dishes). If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impossible to finish. A typical meal starts with some cold dishes, like boiled peanuts and smashed cucumber with garlic. These are followed by the main courses, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Finally soup is brought out, which is followed by the starchy "staple" food, which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings. Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last, but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes, you should say so early on. 主要的区别是中国和西方饮食习惯,这与西方,每个人都有自己的餐盘,在中国菜放在桌子和每个人分享.如果你正在接受中国主人准备很多的食物.中国人为荣的饮食文化,会尽力为你准备许多不同种类的菜肴.和朋友在一起,他们就会订购足够的人.如果他们带某人出去吃晚餐,和关系较比客气,他们通常会点比人数多的菜,如4人、五道菜.如果它是一个商业晚餐或者非常正式的场合,很可能是一个庞大的食品将是不可能完成的. 一个典型的餐始于一些凉菜,像水煮花生、蒜泥黄瓜和横冲直撞.这些是紧随其后的是主菜,热肉和蔬菜.最后汤了,这是遵循“主要”食品,淀粉,通常是米饭或面条或者有时饺子.许多中国人吃米饭或面条(等等),但如果你喜欢米饭上同其他菜,你可以这么说.《这是饮食文化》 两篇供你参考,希望对你有帮助～～呵呵～ (一） What are the major differences between chinese and western culture? I'll list down a few differences: West: 1. Western culture is based on individualism rather than on mass (collectivism). For instance, in the US, you always talk about individual rights, instead of placing the whole society above your own self. This is clearly different in China where a country, society or family are placed above your own self. 2. Western culture is adventurous and exploration based. Westerners like to discover new things, invention and expand outwards. For instance, bungee jumping is considered adventurous and common in western culture, but you will probably find no-one doing such a thing in China. 3. Western culture is based on science, which attempts to resolve people and nature's relationship. 4. West uses law to resolve people and people's relationship. You can never find 'law' well-established in China. For 2000 years, China is a land that's based on human relationship rather than law. 5. West uses 'god' and religion to resolve human and spiritualism relationship. In case of problems with your own self, you just pray to god. 6. A culture that expands and develop outwards. Chinese Culture: 1. A culture based on masses (collectivism). People placed country and family above your own self. 2. A culture that is based on humanism and people 3. To resolve the relationship betwen man and nature, the chinese attempts to fuse the human and 'heaven' as one. (天人和一) 4. To resolve people and people's relationship, chinese uses ethics and tolerance (中恕之道) 5. To resolve human and spiritualism, chinese emphasizes internal cultivation (修身养性) 6. A focus on balance and mean. By 'mean', it means 'middle way'. You don't go into extremism. Peace is always honoured. 7. Pay homage to heaven and earth, as well as bearing a remembrance to the homeland. (敬仰天地,思乡怀土) This was accorded to the fact that chinese had been a farming civilization and therefore will be more prone to remember their land. 8. A culture that expands internally rather than outwards. Some of the disadvantage of old chinese culture: 1. Debase women and chauvanistic 2. An over-emphasis on past history instead of present (lacks pragmatism) Can you list some more differences? Any comments and contributions are appreciated. （二） The difference between west and east I wonder how many things do you know about the difference between west and east? I can tell you some. East and west , they are different in many ways. Today, I want to talk about it in the following three parts. They are food, dressing and living styles. First , food. In China, we prefer noodles, rice , jiaozi as the main course. We like cooking a lot of delicious dishes, then we set up the tables, put the dishes on the tables, sit together, and taste the dishes together, we don’t eat with individual plates, when we eating ,we like chatting and laughing, we think it’s warm and happy to eat this way; But in England or other west countries, people like eating hamburgers, chips, pizza, pasta as their main course, they eat them with vegetable salad, they eat with drinking (water or juice),and they eat with separate plates. In China, we become full up when we finish all the food, then we don’t eat anything, but in west countries, people eat desserts after they finish their meals. Second, dressing. In China, we prefer colorful clothes, we dress them in different places, some time many people don’t mind the places we will go, and dress more formal or less formal, and some people just wearing beautiful clothes, don’t make up; But in west countries, people dress according their visiting places, in daily times, they often wear casual clothes, but if they go to a formal places ,they often wear suits, ladies wearing beautiful dresses, pretty hats. No matter how old the ladies are, they always make up. Third, living styles. Chinese prefer getting up early and go to bed early too. We usually go home early and cook meals, then we eat and watch TV, then we go to bed. We often work during the holidays , children often go to different spare schools to study. We like save money and when we have enough money, we then go and buy what we want, in my opinion, Chinese are so tired and busy; But in most west countries, people live in a easy and happy lives. They get up late and go to work late too, they go to pubs, bars to have a rest after they finish their work, they enjoy their holidays, they seldom go to work during the weekend. if you go to west countries, you can take part in their joyful night life. That’s the differences I found during the days I stayed in England. They are not all of them, but I think they can give my friends some information. Though west countries have more advantages in living, I still believe that “East or west , home is best”, I still think China will always be my deeply loved mother. 美丽的女人们 2009-10-17 07:58:36 121.18.71.* 西方相对于东方文化起步比较晚,但在他们内部之间,比如:南欧和北欧,西欧和东欧,就是英国,德国内部也有着异处,然而体现着本质差异的无疑还是东西方文化间的差异. 龙和凤在中国,龙是图腾的形象,在图腾发展的进一步神圣化之后,形成了龙,凤等具有多种动物特征的综合性图腾形象, 在我国古代传说中,龙是一种能兴云降雨神异的动物.因而,在我国龙凤指才能优异的人,龙虎比喻豪杰志士.“龙”在成语中也被广泛的利用,如、“龙飞凤舞、藏龙卧虎”等.汉民族素以“龙的传人”自称,以“龙的子孙”自豪.我国的传说中,凤凰是一种神异的动物,与龙、龟、麒麟合称四灵.凤在中国还指优良女子,还有太平昌盛之意,旧时,凤也为圣德."凤毛麟角"指珍贵而不可多得用来比喻有圣德的人. 在西方龙和凤完全不是这个意思, 在西方,龙是罪恶和邪恶的代表,西方的凤,是再生复活的意思.在西方传说神话中,龙是一种巨大的蜥蜴,长着翅膀,身上有鳞,拖着一条长长的尾巴 ,能够从嘴中喷火 .到了中世纪,龙演化为罪恶的象征,要不Diablo(西方的著名电脑游戏)中的魔鬼diablo是个长得很像龙的怪物, 在英语中,龙所引起的联想与“龙”在中文中所引起的联想完全不同.要是对西方人表示赞美千万不可用龙凤等. 中华民族是一个渴望安定祥和的民族,因此,就想象龙、凤是一种福音.从文化的角度上看,西方长期受宗教的影响,我国却在相当长的时间内受封建思想的统治.西方人信仰上帝,与上帝作对就是过错,就是罪恶；而我国人民信仰上天,佛祖,祈求上天能给我们带来好运,神把龙作为自身的代表降到人间,是至高无上的象征. 东西思维方式的冲突 在欧洲工作生活了26年,现在是中国驻德国大使的卢秋田老师说一个德国人和一个法国人在临死以前,你问法国人,你死前最大的愿望是什么?法国人的回答是我想喝一杯最好的香槟酒.又问德国人,你死前有什么愿望?他说如果我还有力气的话,我想再作一次报告.这就是德国人,喜欢作报告.我想这也许就是思维的不同,这还只是在西方内部,要说到东西方的差异,我想就更大了. 对于思维方式的特点,主要有四点:第一,思维的广泛性.我曾看到过这样一篇文章, 一个美国人给中国人写信,中国人看美国人的信,一看就发火,因为美国人在信的开头,将自己的要求放在最前面,开门见山,后面才讲些客套话.中国人为了保持心理平衡, 把美国人的来信先看后面.而美国人看中国人的信,开始越看越糊涂,不知道对方要说明什么问题,到信的末尾有几句才是他要说的问题,前面说的都是客套话等等. 美国人读中国人的信也是倒过来看.这种不同的写法反映出不同的思维方式. 第二,民族思维方式形成以后,有相对的稳定性.一个人,不论他是东或西方人,形成一种思维后相对比较稳定. 一个德国人,一个日本人,一个中国人,三个人坐火车从德国的法兰克福去巴黎,这三个人坐在一个车厢里.突然上来一位客人,因为车厢有4个位子.这位客人拿了一个鱼缸端上来,放在空座上,德国人开始问端鱼缸的人,撃 芨嫠呶乙幌拢 庥闶鞘裁疵 疲谏镅?嫌Ω萌绾喂槔啵 心男┨匦裕克 窃诳蒲?嫌惺裁匆庖澹繑这上来,放在空座上,德国人开始问端鱼缸的人,撃 芨嫠呶乙幌拢 庥闶鞘裁疵 疲谏镅?嫌Ω萌绾喂槔啵 心男┨匦裕克 窃诳蒲?嫌惺裁匆庖澹繑这是德国人向这位客人的发问.日本人听完德国人的话以后就问,撉胛%C
