China exported many China cultures to the world, such as chess, Confucius, Tang suit, etc. Similarly, the world imported many of their cultures to China, which also influenced China. Let's take stock of 11 imported foreign cultures and see which cultures are still affecting your life.

1. Parenting culture

Since ancient times, China has always been a loving mother, and a stick gives birth to a dutiful son (strict father gives birth to a dutiful son). A child who becomes a success depends on his father's strict discipline and his mother's moderate love. This truth has not been accepted by most families, mainly for two reasons. The first is the one-child policy in the late 1981s. A family has only one child, and it is too late to spoil it. Who is willing to fight? Again, it is the influence of foreign cultural input. In many cultures abroad, especially in the West, encouragement should be given priority to children, supplemented by preaching. It is strictly forbidden to beat and scold children. Now this kind of parenting culture has gained the upper hand, deeply affecting young parents.

2. Christmas, Halloween, April Fool's Day and other western festivals and related cultures derived from them;

Since ancient times, China has its own unique festivals, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, which are still very important. But for young people, more and more young people like some western festivals, such as Christmas, Halloween and April Fool's Day. It can be said that young people prefer western festivals imported from abroad, while middle-aged and elderly people prefer traditional festivals in China.

3. KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut and other fast food cultures;

This catering culture has deeply influenced all classes, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, steaks, cheese and other western foods. Snacks such as potato chips, popcorn, marshmallows, rainbow beans, chewing gum, and drinks such as foreign wine and freshly squeezed juice, which are mainly Coca-Cola, coffee, red wine and cocktails, can be said to have just left after 99, and they all have some love for them. Of course, China's traditional drinks and Chinese food have also influenced the world, especially China's boiled water, which has also begun to enter the world.

4. The time unit of "week"

It can be said that before the Republic of China, there was no concept of week in China. In ancient China, except for family affairs, officials only had two days off on the first and fifteenth day of each month and one or two days off on important festivals. There were really no holidays in other places, let alone other classes. It can be said that they were all year round. Since the introduction of the concept of week, there have been holidays from nine to five, Saturday and Sunday, Golden Week and other rest days, which have indeed brought a lot of benefits to migrant workers.

5. Getting married

Many places in China still continue the traditional wedding custom in China, with one worshipping the heaven and the other worshipping the couple in Gaotang, but in more places, more and more links are beginning to imitate the western custom. When a man proposes to a woman, he has to kneel down with flowers in his hand. At the wedding scene, the groom wears a suit and the bride wears a wedding dress. The lines said by the wedding host are almost the bridge in foreign movies. More importantly, China people like red when they get married, but in the west.

6. Second Yuan, animation, etc.

This culture comes from Japan. Who would have thought that China's most influential time in the animation industry was in the 1951s and 1961s. At that time, ink painting, paper-cutting culture, gourd dolls, tadpoles looking for their mothers, and Japanese animation shocked the world, affecting not only China, but also the whole world, and at the same time bringing about the second Yuan and the forest system. Of course, these are all minority cultures.

7. Fitness culture

China people don't exercise, and they don't have enough to eat. How can they have time to exercise? Those who have enough to eat are practicing martial arts. No matter whether they are iron sand palms or five elements boxing, they don't have nothing to do with lifting barbells. With the introduction of western fitness culture and the improvement of living standards, more and more people have joined the ranks of fitness, not dancing square dance or playing Tai Chi, but going to the gym for running. At the same time, taekwondo, yoga, aerobics, etc. have also begun to enter the public's field of vision, and more and more classes are evidence.

8. American TV series, R&; Entertainment culture such as POP, DISCO, KTV, street dance represented by b and Hip-Hop

This culture has developed from the rise of the Internet, from DISCO, KTV, break dancing to R&; B and Hip-Hop, and then to American TV series, English TV series, Hollywood and other entertainment products, have influenced more and more young people. Zombies in China didn't go out of the world, but vampires and zombies in the west filled China's screen.

9, astrology, cards and other divination cultures

China has also had divination since ancient times, such as Gankun Bagua, Zhouyi Fengshui, and Plum Blossom Yi Shu, all of which are very profound divination cultures. Maybe, maybe because they are too abstruse, it is difficult to learn after all, which gives the simple western divination culture an invasion space. The divination cultures such as astrology and cards quickly occupy the minds of young people, while China divination culture is only in southern China and Southeast Asia.

11, cowboy, motorcycle jacket, bell bottoms and other clothing culture;

Chinese tunic suit is the last bastion of China's costume culture, but it has still been conquered. From cowboy to bell mouth, from miniskirt to shorts, from beach pants to thong, it seems that China's costume culture has really disappeared, and China's costume has become history.
