Since 2 1 century, cross-cultural communication has become people.

An indispensable part of life. Due to regional differences, different people

Different nationalities and countries have formed different cultures. Food culture and table manners

It is also an important part of nonverbal culture in cross-cultural communication. View from a height or a distance

Understand the differences between Chinese and western food culture and table manners and their deep roots.

Source, for foreign language learners, can not only increase their knowledge of the language they have learned.

Cultural understanding can improve the success rate of cross-cultural communication and avoid

Misunderstanding and communication barriers are caused by inappropriate ways or behaviors.

First, the differences between Chinese and Western food culture

Rational westerners pay more attention to nutrition and survival.

The biggest difference between Chinese and western food cultures is the difference of concerns.

That is, the issues of "nutrition" and "delicious" are more important. exist

In western countries, diet is mostly just a necessary means of survival.

And communication methods. Western diet is a rational concept, regardless of food.

What about color, fragrance, taste and shape? Nutrition must be guaranteed.

Fang pays attention to nutrition and ignores taste. They refused to use monosodium glutamate,

It is considered that it is a chemical product with neither nutrition nor side effects. eat sth raw

Vegetables include not only tomatoes and lettuce, but also cabbage and western food.

Orchids. So their salad is like a plate of feed, which makes me

It's hard for children to swallow. Although people in China now pay attention to nutrition and health care,

I also know that vegetables will lose some vitamins after frying and heating, and they will be eaten raw.

Avoid losses, but still prefer the former, because habit makes

However, it is because it tastes really much better.

2. Rational China people pursue delicacy and enjoyment.

In China, there is a folk proverb: "Food is the first priority for the people, and safety is the first priority for food."

Taste first ",taste is the highest criterion of cooking. In the eyes of China people.

In the kitchen, "eating" is not only for satiety, but also for nutrition.

Sometimes you have to eat when you are full, because you can't stand "delicious food"

Enjoy the temptation of delicious food. But a reasonable diet in the west

It seems that this overloaded diet is not only wasteful, but also dangerous.

Harm the human body. Although China people attach importance to diet and food support, they attach importance to diet.

Health and nourishment, but our cooking takes the pursuit of delicacy as the first priority.

Demand leads to the loss and destruction of many nutrients, so the nutrition problem is also

Perhaps the biggest weakness of China's diet.

3. Western cooking follows norms and science.

Westerners emphasize science and nutrition, so the whole process of cooking

Act in strict accordance with scientific norms. The use of recipes is an excellent example.

Prove Westerners buy food and cook with recipes.

But in comparison, it is still a very mechanical thing, which leads to

One shortcoming of western food-lack of characteristics. When people are in different places,

When you want to taste local food, no one will definitely choose KFC or.

McDonald's or something. In addition, standardized cooking even requires

Accurate ingredients, accurate grams of spices and accurate cooking time.

To seconds. Due to the standardization of western food, there is no creativity.

Make love. What westerners can't understand is that China cooking not only doesn't pursue.

Accurate standardization, on the contrary, advocates randomness. Open China's food.

Spectrum, it is often found that the preparation of raw materials and the addition of spices are modular.

The concept of paste. Besides, in China cooking, we not only pay attention to the main cuisines.

Each has its own flavor and characteristics, even in the same cuisine.

The collocation of dishes, side dishes and various seasonings will also depend on the chef.

Personal hobbies have changed. It is also a kind of "Mapo tofu".

Cooking for Sichuan guests and Suzhou guests, the seasonings used are all Ken.

It must be different. In the west, a dish is different in different regions.

In the face of different food, there is no seasonal change.

4. Westerners who advocate freedom emphasize differences and individuality.

This "harmony" is also clearly reflected in Chinese and western food culture.

The cultural characteristics of "He" and "Fen" are not only a few soup dishes,

The ingredients in the main course are irrelevant. Fish is a fish, steak is a cow.

Row, even if there is a game, is also carried out in the plate, which reflects.

The social culture of "western emphasis on difference" is a social text that emphasizes separation.

Culture is also reflected in the way of eating. Westerners follow the principle of sharing meals.

System, people's respect for personality and self. Western style Dazhong buffet

In the form of eating each other, there is a lack of chatting and having fun in China.

5. The people of China yearn for harmony and reunification.

China people have always regarded "harmony" and "harmony" as the best environment.

In the world, harmony is emphasized in music and advocated in medicine.

"Body harmony" and "Qi harmony" hope that national politics can achieve "political integrity"

And ". Call a beautiful marriage "a match made in heaven". When everything is beautiful,

When good things get together, we call it "Julian".

Combination. And this concept of "harmony" is also reflected in cooking.

It is embodied in the "harmony of five flavors", so Chinese food is used in almost every dish.

It is made by blending and cooking more than two kinds of raw materials and various seasonings. China people put

Cooking is called "cooking", and the production of delicious food lies in harmony. because

China cooking is not as simple as "1+ 1 = 2", but should be.

This is equal to "3" or more.

In a word, Chinese and western diets are various in many ways.

Differences, of course, these differences are relative, for thousands of years.

The exchange of eastern and western cultures has also contributed to the continuous development of Chinese and western food culture.

Fusion. Cross-cultural communication under the situation of globalization has created a variety of diets.

Cultures are constantly complementary and compatible. Today, enjoy the uniqueness of the East and the West.

Color diet has become a common thing in contemporary people's daily life.

Love. We can see French dinners, KFC and other western restaurants everywhere in the street.

China imports food, and restaurants have opened all over the world.

Second, the differences in table manners.

Food culture, tableware, food style and a series of dining tables.

Etiquette and so on reflect the social life style and cultural adoption of different nationalities.

To. Etiquette is everywhere in modern society, and dining is not just to meet basic needs.

Physiological needs are also important social experiences. China and the West are eating it.

There are also many differences in table manners, and I understand their differences.

To prevent rudeness.

1. Differences in table atmosphere

Generally speaking, the dining table in the west is quiet, while the dining table in China is mobile. western

People are generally active, but as soon as they sit at the dinner table, they concentrate on silence.

Cut your own Chinese food quietly. People in China are so quiet on weekdays, as soon as they finish eating.

At the dinner table, they talked endlessly, helped each other with food and advised them to drink. China people at the dinner table.

The noise and silence on the western dining table reflect the cultural differences between Chinese and western diets.

It's totally different.

2. Table manners

In the cultural tradition of China, people attend various formal meetings.

The food is also exquisite, but in the change and development of modern customs.

In China, there are progress, backwardness and opposition to tradition.

Inheritance also violates traditional cultural customs. For example, at dinner.

Clothing, far more casual than in the past, you can wear a tunic suit, jacket or

Suits, etc. This also reflects the changes and development of traditional culture.

The best effect of positive migration is the integration of Chinese and western cultures.

Examples.

Nowadays, many westerners, especially Americans, don't like smoking, and they don't like smoking.

Drinking, many people don't like others smoking and drinking in their own homes.

Wine. In today's China, many people both smoke and drink.

This social phenomenon seems to be that "no smoking and no drinking" leads to no society.

Pay. So there are still people smoking and drinking at the dinner table in China.

Such as mud "bad habits", although they know it hurts, but according to

Old ones can't be banned. Presumably this is the endless cultural migration and development.

It is necessary for us to correctly understand and

On the basis of understanding cultural phenomena, we will continue to promote the development of humanistic culture.

Exhibition, improve the humanistic quality of the people.

Step 3: Seating order

Both China and the West pay attention to the arrangement of formal banquets. China

People traditionally use square tables. Opposite the door, the seats are on both sides. stand treat

When old people, guests or people with high status sit in their seats, the host and hostess.

Or sit down with the guests, and the rest of the guests sit in the side seats in order. westerner

Treat guests with a long table, where the host and hostess sit at both ends respectively, and then press the host and hostess.

Arrange seats in the order of guests and ordinary guests. For the rules of the table,

Westerners eat with knives and forks, while China people use chopsticks. Knives, forks and chopsticks, of course.

The usage of Chinese characters has its own rules.

Through the differences between Chinese and western food culture and table manners

This comparison not only reflects the cultural traditions of various places, but also reflects.

Different national psychology, values and moral standards, social relations, society

Social etiquette and social customs, that is, western culture advocates personal honor.

Reputation, self-centeredness, innovative spirit and freedom of personality, while China culture

Advocate modesty and prudence, selfless dedication, the golden mean and unity and cooperation;

Westerners have a strong sense of equality and a simple family structure; China and other countries.

Strong class consciousness, complex family structure and many traditional happy families.

Four generations live under one roof.

In cross-cultural communication, information creates cultural barriers.

Misunderstandings and even mutual injuries are not uncommon. Sometimes it's well-intentioned

Speaking will make the other person extremely embarrassed, and politeness will be misunderstood as insufficient.

Christmas is very vulgar. Therefore, it is positive to study the differences between different cultures.

Accurate cross-cultural communication behavior has become a problem that cannot be ignored. right
