1. With the continuous progress of society, people's living standards are improving day by day, and the catering industry is also developing rapidly. According to statistics, in the United States, about 40 million people eat in commercial restaurants, and each person spends an average of 3.5 yuan every day. In China, the number of people who eat out every day is proportionally less than that in the United States. But from the development trend, the growth rate is also very amazing.

2. This phenomenon probably has the following reasons:

Now the pace of social work is getting faster and faster, and more and more office workers have no time to cook by themselves, so they have to eat in places like fast food restaurants. The external features of traditional buildings in China are very obvious. For example, the planning tends to develop horizontally. The facade is composed of abutment, wall and roof, and the structural system is mainly wood structure. On the other hand, people can see from these external forms that China traditional architecture has the characteristics of China traditional culture, which clearly reflects the philosophy, ethics, way of thinking and aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation. More and more women choose work as their priority, and fewer and fewer people cook at home; The number of divorced families has increased, and many of them have become frequent visitors to restaurants; Fourthly, the development of tourism has increased social interaction, cultural exchange and commercial activities, thus driving the catering industry. The catering industry has gradually become a part of tourism and social interaction. Literally, dining building is a space to satisfy people's hunger and thirst, but now the function of dining space is more complicated. Besides meeting people's material needs, we also need to meet people's spiritual needs from other aspects.

3. Give examples:

The "abalone for rice" restaurant in Beijing also has a strong dining environment. The hotel takes precious Ming-style furniture-chicken wing wood dining table, mahogany tables and chairs as the exhibition theme, and decorates the wall with antique partition windows. The theme wall is as red as the palace wall, with beige and brown to match it. The whole environment is elegant and antique, with the extravagance of the palace and the modern flavor.

4. Nationality and regionality are closely related and cannot be absolutely distinguished.

Generally speaking, the style characteristics of the environment have both external factors and internal factors. External, such as climatic conditions, local materials, scientific and technological level. The internal factors are mainly manifested in a nation's philosophy, ethics, way of thinking, aesthetic taste and relatively stable representative character and temperament formed in a specific geographical environment. The external characteristics of traditional buildings are very obvious, such as the planning tends to develop horizontally, the facade is composed of abutment, wall and roof, and the structural system is mainly wood structure. On the other hand, people can see from these external forms that China traditional architecture has the characteristics of China traditional culture, which clearly reflects the philosophy, ethics, way of thinking and aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation.
