1.The Background of Wine Culture 1.1 Wine Culture in China

China is one of the ancient countries in the world and has a long history about

the wine culture.“Since the appearing of wine and formed the methods of brewing wine, then the processes of brewing, the making of all kinds of drinking sets and drinking customs and etiquette were gradually formed and completed.”(Lixiaoye, 2010, P7)This is just the definition of wine culture.It is well known that Confucianism is the core of Chinese culture, so people's understanding of the wine culture tends to the spiritual dimension and gives it a variety of emotions.In 1987, the renowned economist professor Yu Guangyuan put forward the phrase “wine culture” in China and Wan xiaoyan(2009)explains that the wine culture has broad and narrow meaning.In the broad sense, wine culture including wine technology with thousands of years’ enhancement, technological level, legal system and drinking customs;in the narrow sense, wine culture is just referred to drinking etiquette, custom and anecdote.There are many experts devote themselves to the research of wine culture, but it’s difficult to give a clear definition.Wine culture represents different characteristics in different times and has different effects on society.Throughout the Chinese wine culture’s history, we know that wine culture studies the material, brewing techniques of wine and its social attitude.Xu Shaohua(1999)said that wine means drinking in social activities has a specific effect on politics, economic, culture, military affairs, religion, art, science and technology, social psychology, and folk customs.Wine culture is the combination of material culture and spiritual culture.It's a special and attractive culture.Next, take the Origin of Wine in China for example.Yi Di and Du Kang are considered the originators of wine-making in China.According to ancient annals Yi Di was ordered by Yu the Great to produce mellow wine fro me fermented glutinous rice.The concoction tasted good and Yi Di was confident he would receive a reward.Yu while agreeing that the drink was of excellent quality and had a good taste stopped short of rewarding its maker.Why? Because the Son of Heaven decided that over indulgence in this new beverage could be dangerous-it could make a person read-the monarch himself lose his wits and inadvertently put the country at risk.Another wine-maker Du Kang created a formula for high quality liquor made of sorghum..As legend has it one winter he put cultivated sorghum seeds in a hollow.The following spring he notice d a strong smell coming from it and was amazed to discover that the sorghum he left there had fermented.This accidental disconery inspired Du Kang to create an alcoholic beverage.1.2 Wine Culture in the West In the west, wine culture is also a richly historical culture.In most time, wine culture refers to grape wine in west countries.“It has a history more than 8000 or at most 10000 years since wine appeared, and much longer than the liquor history in China.”(Li xiaoye, 2010, P8)To western people, wine is a special kind of art and has its glamour.When we meet troubles in our daily life or feel sad, wine can help us become strong and comfort us.So there is no doubt that wine culture is not only a kind of material culture but also a kind of a spiritual culture.Owing to the different cultural backgrounds, the western people’s understanding of the wine culture tends to the symbol of the right and gives it elegant and luxury image.For example, they believe wine can enrich their life and regulate their feelings.Xu Yan(2004)said this view of life can be expressed as drink one’s sorrows/ troubles, drown one’s troubles away, drink down sorrow.Wine culture is the reflection of culture in history and it’s the witness of history.Next, take the Origin of Wine in the West for example.Greek mythology Dionysus Greek god of wine and fertility identified with the Roman god Bacchus.The son of Zeus and Semele Dionysus was reared by nymphs and taught men the secrets of cultivating grapes and making wine.but Hera struck him with madness and drove him forth a wanderer through various parts of the earth.Dionysus wandered through many lands teaching men the culture of the vine and the mysteries of his cult.The Bible The earliest written account of viniculture is in the Old Testament of the Bible which tells us that Noah planted a vineyard and made wine.Middle Eastern origin an ancient Persian fable credits a lady of the court with the

discovery of wine.This Princess having lost favor with the King attempted to poison herself by eating some table grapes that had spoiled in a jar.She became intoxicated and giddy and fell asleep.When she awoke she found the stresses that had made her life intolerable had dispersed.Returning to the source of her relief her subsequent conduct changed so remarkably that she regained the Kings favor.2.The application of the wine culture 2.1 Types of Wine Baijiu is a typical Chinese wine, while grape wine plays an important role in Western countries.China is a country with a long history and it is no exaggeration to say that Chinese history with five thousand years is written by wine.As China is a large agricultural country, the most wine is brewed with grain.In China, the word is “jiu” can be used to represent all the types of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, grape wine and so on.The most popular wine in China can be classified into two types, namely, yellow wine and white wine.The yellow wine is brewed directly from rice and wheat.The white wine is also brewed grain, but it has a higher purity of the alcohol level.Although China has a lot of techniques to brew wine and there are various types of wine, the grain liquor is always in the important position;this is because of the effect of geographical environment and agricultural culture.China's climate is very good for the growth of rice and other grain, as a result, the grain liquor is very prevalent.In the Western countries, no matter when we talk about the western wine, grape wine is always the first one comes to our minds.Grape wine is the major wine and

plays an important role in people’s life.Grape wine has a long history, Qu Xiaohui(1996)said that the Western archaeologists found that people had drank grape wine seven thousand years ago.Western is different from China as a large agricultural country, so most of Western countries develop animal husbandry and business.But the climatic and soil in many places don’t fit the growth of crops, they are suitable for grape.Grape wine was produced and became more and more popular under this circumstance.With the development of society, there are more types of grape wine, such as whisky, brandy, rum, cocktail and so forth.2.2 Drinking Vessels Where there is wine, there is drinking vessel.As the saying goes, if there is no drinking vessel, there is no way to drink.So there is no doubt that drinking vessel as a part of wine culture has a long history.The development of drinking vessel is closely bound up with the national economics;it can reflect a country’s level of development.China always shows great respect for the use of drinking vessels.People divided the drinking vessels into different categories depending on their usage.In ancient times, due to the low level of social development, people use some natural materials to make drinking vessels, such as horns and gourds.With the improvement of productivity and development of the wine industry, there are more types of wine vessels, for example, the drinking vessels are made of bronze or jade or other materials.What’s more, some drinking vessels are made in different shapes, for instance sheep, tiger, cow, rabbit and other animals or landscape.Different shapes of drinking vessels not only can help people enjoy the beauty of wine, but also reflects the unique charm of Chinese art.Compared with China's drinking vessels, West’s has a distinctive flavor.Westerners pay attention to different glasses for different kinds of wine.When they drink whisky, brandy and grape wine, they will prepare the corresponding cups.It is

well known that most western drinking vessels are made of glass and crystal, because these cups are good for drinkers to appreciate the wine's color and enjoy the beauty of wine.This is indeed the case;the western drinking vessels have an elegant appearance as well as the good usage.Nowadays, the glasses become more popular and are carriers to spread the wine culture.2.3 Etiquette of Drinking Wine is a medium to understand the culture of different countries.Knowing the etiquette of drinking can reduce the misunderstandings in social activities and promote communications between peoples.After careful studies, we can find that there are some differences of etiquette of drinking between China and Western countries.China is a country known as ceremony and pay attention to etiquette.Talk freely about the saying “No Custom without Wine”, etiquette of drinking is becoming an important part of life.Chinese drinking etiquette reflects the respect for the drinker.There is fixed seating and a fixed toast times about who is the master, who is the guest.Toast normally chooses after eating the main course, and before the sugar beet is not on.The cup must be held on the eyes level when the toast happen.The toast must begin from the master and watch each other, and at least drink a little wine to show respect.Others are not qualified to respect until the master finished.If the toast order is upset the person who upset the toast order will be fined.Toast must be started from the most distinguished guests, at this time the wine should be full of so that the most distinguished guests can be respected.Not only younger people toast to the elders, and subordinates take the initiative to propose a toast to the higher levels, but also should drink first in order to show respect.The Jiuling, Finger Guessing Game etiquette of wine, but also to make drinkers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Obviously, Chinese wine culture deeply influenced by Chinese culture and traditional

ethics of hierarchy of seniority, during drinking alcohol the respect for those who drinking was placed in the most important position.Western drinking wine etiquette demonstrates respect for wine.Drinking wine must watch their color, smell their fragrance, taste its quality, and mobilize all kind of sensory to enjoy nice wine.In the sequence of drinking, pay attention to the first drink after drink red wine, white wine, the first lighter wine In the sequence of drinking, it is necessary to pay attention to the order of drinking.White wine should be first and after red wine, the first lighter wine following Re-bodied wine to drink a short year wine and then drink a long year wine, changes gradually in-depth change in the enjoyment of wine flavor.The selection of wine device, also revolve around how to get the full enjoyment of drinking on the drinkers.Let aroma convergence on mouth of the tulip-type goblet cup, and even for wine temperature degree specially designed thermometer, without exception, demonstrate respect for Westerners wine, and their Drinking etiquette is for a better appreciation of wine.In the West people rarely Toast each other, they usually drink separately.Only in certain occasions, they will join in a toast.If a time like this is usually the person after the speech, they are blessing a person, or to celebrate something for someone.2.4 Purpose of Drinking

Wine exists with the form of water and with the content of fire.They are incompatible since ancient times, only an exception on wine.It is water also fire.Not only was extinguished by the minds of unhappy, but also can bright the inner.Both Chinese and westerners love wine, but the diversity of cultures, so caused the difference on drinking purposes between the Chinese people and Westerns.The purpose of drinking in western is simple.They have a drink in order to enjoy drinking.Of course, wine also has the function of communication, but it is more important for people to enjoy the taste of wine.What kind of drink should be used to

enjoy on a occasion , and what temperature degree should be , what shape of the glass should be, there is a very fine clear requirement.There is not hing Finger Guessing Game was provided on the banquet.The aesthetic of western is a direct form Style-oriented and do not require to use distiller's yeast to achieve communicative effects, showing that the West is drinking for wine.In China, wine is often used as a communicative tool.Therefore, there are not scientific systematic theoretical analysis on Chinese wine culture.More attention was paied on other function s brought by drinking.The so-called ulterior motives are not on wine , but care between landscape and landscape of the music.People who drink often want to discuss official business, or talk to a private matter.In short, drinking is just an expression of a mood-assisted behavior.People have a drink just want to borrow the role of alcohol to complete a number of other things, so Chinese people will never be less wine on the table.Whether it is Chinese New Year, or a business in the future, wine is the middle of the hub of everything.It also links to the subtle emotions between people, but people rely more on drinking is the pursuit of wine.Qingmeizhujiu is to prove who is the hero.The paradis Jiang Jinjiu purpose to eliminate the same melancholy;Bamboo Poets of the Seven Sages was to take sanctuary.Qianlong 1000 gentleman feast want to share happy with the public.Chinese people drinking is not for alcohol but for feelings.Therefore, so long as having appropriate reasons, everyone can advise each other to drink, in order to show goodwill and sincerity.Toast is a typical performance of Chinese hospitality, but often is not understood by Westerners on the Chinese people.China is the ceremonies.The communication is usually advocated implicitly.They are not bounded, not only can speak, also can criticize after drinking alhtough there is nothing to speak usually.Wine can help Chinese people to achieve communicative purposes.2.5 Drinking Habits Several major Chinese festival of the year have a corresponding drinking activities, such as the Dragon Boat Festival drink “calamus wine”.Suspended drink “chrysanthemum wine”.In some places, such as Jiangxi, people gathered to drink after planting the cereal crop or to celebrate the harvest time.Chinese New Year also is known as New Year's Eve.It is the day for family reunion to have the most sumptuous dinner of the year.Dinner and wine are essential to the even poorest family.In some places, people generally do not leave the house on the first day of the first lunar month.From the second day, people begin to drop around.The owner of the house takes the dishes which have been prepared earlier to the table and enjoy the wine with the guests.“liquor of daughter in the south“ According to the earliest record by the ”Southern Grasses“ that the southern people began to make wine when their daughter was seven years old.Then they bury the brewed wine when their daughter got married.This kind of wine was inherited in Shaoxing and developed to be famous as ”Huadiao jiu“.Another difference exists in the custom of drinking wine.As is known to us, China is a big country with 56 nationalities and vast territory.Most of the nations have its own distinctive wine and custom of drinking wine.However, there still exists the common character: encouraging people to drink.While in western countries, no one will encourage you to drink.It is up to you to drink or not.No one would associate toasting people with the face.If there exists buying wine culture, that is, today I buy the wine for you in a bar;tomorrow you will buy for me.Wine culture brings about the difference of ideology of flows.Wine culture that caused great affection on the east and west civilization is embodied in the feminism.In the west, fete is an important means of worship of wine.The housewives and girls gathered in wild mountains to dance and enjoy themselves the whole night.Women could communicate with any people.Although the man was discontented with this, he could not have any complaints.This tradition was handed down.As a result, women got almost the same status with the man in the west.The worship of wine came along with the mysterious worship of maternity, which rippled in the civilization of the west.It was not the case in China.Although at the beginning, the wine was brewed for the daughter of Yu, women were deprived of right of drinking wine by man.The girls

in The Dream of Red Mansion mostly drank fruit wine.The liquor, repetitive of wine, was the patent of men, such as Jia Zheng.The status of women was gradually promoted after the spread of western culture during the period of Fourth Five.Women have the same right of drinking wine in modern times.3.Different Communicative Functions and Drinking Culture 3.1 Shallow Sip and Cattle Drink

Chinese people pay attention to the “shallow sip”.The so called“shallow sip”is to put the glass in one hand and enjoy the fun by singing a song or poem to purse the realm into a little drunk.The so called little drunk is like non-drunk and non-awake, with a rather wonderful feeling to get high in the realm.We Chinese people will take a little drunk while talking with our friends or family and have a good time.The Westerners pay attention to “cattle drink”, the so called “cattle drink” also described as the “drink by”.That is, no matter one battle or one glass, just raise your neck to drink it overturned.They enjoy the excitement that the wine brings to them.3.2 Masculinity and Feminism

Chinese wine culture is the doctrine of partial male.Since ancient times, “wine” was always used by men as the signboard and mask of their entertainment.By the “wine” of power, things will line.Things can be done easier by the power of wine.CaoCao used wine to test whether troops under his command were loyal to him.Wine and beauty seem always to go together;both are men’s tool to release their pressure.Actually, with the collapse of the feudalism, women were no longer regarded as men’s vassal.Nevertheless, in most case, women are often still at arm’s length speak of love.The western wine culture joined more feminist factors and is relatively neutral.In western countries, there is not only spirits for men but also cocktails and champagne with a sweet or fruity taste and beautiful color for women to drink.Female drinking is socially accepted, and fends to be neutral on the whole.3.3

Lyricism and Enjoyment

China, the scenic spot of wine culture, the significance of drinking wine is far more than the sensual pleasure.In many occasions, wine is used as a cultural symbol to represent a ritual, a state of mind.Wine and poetry, had the tight relationship from then on.In China, The wine is often used as a communication tool, a medium to express feelings after drinking.The so called the drinker’s heart is not in the cup but in people and in love.Such as to make the plum wine is in order to prove who is the real hero;to drink one more cup of wine is to bid farewell to the friend going away.Different feeling and different mood are passed through the wine.In the western countries, the purpose of drink is often very simple, to enjoy the wine and alcohol.Of course, the red wine in the west also has the function of communication, but it is more of a pursuit of how to enjoy the taste.It can be seen that the Western wine culture focus more on the wine itself while we Chinese people seem to pay more attention to the spiritual experience after evaporation or distillation of the wine.Western habit of tasting wine is to taste with their tongue, while we Chinese people use more of a heart and brain to feel the feeling the wine bring us.The Way to Promote the Intercommunication of Wine Culture 4.1.Launching International Communication Conference

The development of world wine culture depends on the intercommunication of different nations.On this matter, I give several suggestions as following: Firstly, we should launch international communication conference about research of wine culture.At present, the research communication between professors and experts in especially French, Germany, and England and so on is little.Professors and experts exchange their ideas and views about wine and put forward new suggestions.It is an important and direct way to push the development

of wine culture.Secondly, a worldwide organization should be set up to harmonize and guide the deed acted by nations.Regions and nations behave according to the rules regulated.4.2.Setting the Suitable Rules

As we know, a proverb says without rules we cannot do things well.Thus it is necessary and important to set the suitable rules.Nations can communicate and behave well with the restrictions.However, the rules are not set now, which needs the efforts of the professors and experts.4.3 Innovation

Wine culture can not develop without innovation which is the gist of wine culture.China has a long history of brewing wine, which is proud by us.Meanwhile, we indulge ourselves in the success we have had and depend on the traditional wine culture excessively.Therefore, crisis is there.In order to keep the booming vitality of wine, obviously, the innovation is crucial.But what we should do innovate the wine culture.In my point of view, we should do as the following: To begin with, the combination of innovation of wine and idea.The consumption psychology of people is always changing.There is an increasing demand about the safety and sanitation of wine.The idea of green consumption occurs to people.As a result, we not only cater to the demand of trend, but also put our feet in the consumer's shoes.Secondly, the combination of innovation and technology.The innovation of culture can not;eave the development of technology.The big innovation and development of many professions is caused by the innovation of technology.The innovation of technology and technique push the development of the profession of brewing wine vigorously and base the solid foundation of the innovation of wine culture.Thirdly, the combination of innovation of wine culture and the management of firm.The history of abroad or domestic management of firm can be subdivided into three stages: ”experimental management“ ”scientific management“ and ”cultural management".It realized the big leap on management from experimental one to Tylor's scientific one.However, scientific management neglects the creativity and ability of man, which can not fit the demand of development.Thus, cultural management came into being.That whether the wine culture is a success or a failure is associated with the leader of the enterprise.The runner of the wine firm is different from the leader of the firm of making screwdriver.He should be an artist with high quality of culture and artistic taste.The fierce competition demands that they give direction and decision on the design of products, the direction of market, the selling

and plan of market.It is also necessary for them to carry out the cultural management and innovation of management and make full use of resources including resource of mankind to infuse the color of culture in the product.Make sure the realization of innovation of wine culture successfully through innovation of management.This is one aspect and another aspect is that: In the first place, transfer the advantage of culture into the advantage of market.Transmitting culture is to exploit the market.The core of the wine market is health;safety and fashion which the enterprises need long time of penetration of culture and patient and dedicate cultivation of market.It advocates drinking wine in a scientific way and green consumption to guide man return to rationalism from the traditional wine culture, which advocates drinking wine in great amount.In the second place, transfer the advantage of market into the advantage of economic, society and zoology.The advantage of economic is the final embodiment of the advantage of market.Promoting the additional value of wine culture is a significant way to transfer the advantage of market into the advantage of economic.At the same time, it requires shat the effectiveness of society and zoology should be taken into account.We should strengthen the idea of sustaining development of firm and carry out green management and controlling of whole process and protect the mature during the process of carrying out the innovation of wine culture.Therefore, the vitality of wine lies in wine culture and fitting the progressive consumption culture, which is to keep pace with time.Conclusion The wine is the best present that God has given.Wine culture comes along with the birth of wine since wine appeared.Due to the difference of wine, regions and environment, the faith brought by wine culture also has more or less difference.At first, the wine in China was the sweet wine made from fruits.After that, man gradually found the grain which was used as the raw material of liquor.It was much better than sweet wine either in power or taste.Therefore, it is the mainstream to brew wine with grain as the raw material.At present, it refers to liquor when it comes to the wine of China.However, the wine in the west was brewed with barley the raw material firstly.Man began to brew wine with grape.The wine made man intoxicated and gradually became the mainstream of the west.And now, it refers to champagne and Brandy wit grape as the raw material.Drinking wine in China is the common phenomenon of different nations.Most of nations have its own characteristic wine

and custom of drinking wine.The culture of drinking wine has endurable vitality and character.The research of drinking custom will promote the unity of nations and progress of civilization.In order to communicate with the consumer, it is necessary to promote the development of wine culture.The wine can popularize wildly and sell best according to the taste of consumer.The brewed wine is to be consumed by man.Consequently, people's suggestion about the way of brewing wine is vital, which is to make sure the wine is consumed with confirmation and agreement of consumer.Intercommunication is also crucial to the development of wine culture.Thus, increasing international communication is essential.Professors and experts can exchange their views and put forward new ideas about innovation of technology.A worldwide organization restrains the behavior of the members.Through this topic, the profound Chinese culture during the course of investigations will be appreciated.Consequently the Chinese wine culture will develop along with the development of the world wine culture.Bibliography [1] Patrick McGovern.Ancient wine: the search for the origin of viniculture.Princeton University, 2000.[2] Haeger.North American Pinot Noir.Langman, 2004.[3] Patrick Matthews.Real wine: the rediscovery of natural winemaking.Mitchell Beazley, 2000.[4] Jeni Port.Crushed by women:women and win., Arcadia, 2000.[5] Jancis Robinson.Jancis Robinson's wine tasting workbook.Conran Octopus, 2000.[6]Dai Weidong.A New Concise Course in Lingustics for Students of Englishin [M].ShangHai Foreign Language Education Press, 2010:125-126 [7]Jamie Goode.The science of wine: from vine to glass[M].University of California Press, 2005 [8]John Winthrop Haeger.North American Pinot Noir[M].Niversity of California Press, 2004

第二篇：中西酒文化浅析

中西方酒文化浅析

内容摘要： 酒是人类生活中不可或缺的美味饮品。无论在中国还是在西方，酒伴随着人类的脚步一路前行，在漫长的发展历程中形成了一门特殊的文化——酒文化，它是一个国家或地区历史文化的重要组成部分。本文通过中西酒文化研究对比，从中找出二者的共同点及其差别，为中西方文化差异特别是价值观方面的差异提供一些参考。

关键词：酒文化；价值观；对比

一、起源的美丽传说

尽管相隔遥远，在远古时代又彼此隔绝，但关于酒的起源，在中国和西方都有着许多美丽的传说。

（一）中国有关酒起源的传说

在众多关于酒的起源传说中，影响最大主要有以下几种：上天造酒说、猿猴造酒说、仪狄造酒说、杜康造酒说。关于酒起源在我国众多古籍中也不乏记载，《战国策》中说：“昔者，帝女令仪狄作酒而美，进之禹，禹钦而甘之，遂疏仪狄，绝旨酒，日：‘后世必有以酒亡其国者。”晋朝江统在《酒诰》中言：“有饭不尽，委之空桑，郁结成味，久蓄气芳，本出于代，不由奇方。”

（二）西方有关酒起源的传说

在西方，没有太多关于酒起源的古籍记载。其中最著名的是希腊神话中关于葡萄酒起源传说。相传塞墨勒与宙斯相爱、怀孕却被害致死，宙斯便把胎儿放入自己的大腿中养育，孩子出生后取名为狄俄倪索斯。狄俄倪索斯历尽磨难长大成人。多年后，好友在战斗中死亡，后来在友人的墓上长出一株结满果实的葡萄树。他采下果实榨成汁，喝来甘甜爽口，这就是最初的葡萄酒。他把这玉液琼浆献给奥林匹斯诸神，同时也赐给了希腊人民。于是，许多西方国家便有了葡萄酒的酿造技术。

性劳动基本上起着主导作用。经过漫长的探索、凝练，中国的酿酒技艺堪称一流、各种名酒各得其妙。总体来说，中国酿酒大都有浸渍、蒸煮、多次投料、固态及半固态发酵等工艺环节和方法，这也正是中国粮食酒酿造技艺的突出特点。

（二）西方酒种类和酿酒工艺简介

由于西方许多地方不适宜农作物的生长，却十分有利于葡萄的生长，因而葡萄的产量大、品质优，因此在西方最具特色的酒是葡萄酒和白兰地，用的几乎是百分之百的葡萄；另外开胃酒、利口酒、鸡尾酒等大多也以葡萄酒为酒基进行制作。西方葡萄酒的代表有法国的沙都拉菲、法国的精选波尔多、意大利的草编驰骋安稠、西班牙的公牛血等。

在酒的酿造工艺上，西方主要以葡萄为原料，讲究以料为核心，桶和窖为保障，采用液态、单式发酵方法。在葡萄酒的酿造过程中，葡萄起主导作用，葡萄的品种和质量决定着葡萄酒的品质、特色和香型，人的劳动则起辅助作用。葡萄酒的酿造大多是葡萄去梗破皮、压榨、发酵、培养、装瓶等工艺环节，而橡木桶、酒窖是其中的两个关键。橡木桶是发酵和培养葡萄酒的最经典容器。其木材多孔，外界的氧气缓缓渗入，包括酒精在内的挥发物质部分蒸发，使酒变得更加细腻、芳香；橡木释放出的辛香和单宁酸，给葡萄酒增添华美复合的润饰，使酒质不断成熟、稳定。酒窖是葡萄酒最好的栖身之所，决定着葡萄酒的最终品质。任何好酒都需要经过较长时间的藏酿，葡萄酒在橡木桶中的陈化不是全部过程，要达到最佳饮用状态，更需要继续贮存、陈化。

四、所用酒器不同

中国人历来就十分重视酒器的使用，就其用途而言，可分为贮酒器、盛酒器、卖酒器和饮酒器四大类。中国的酒器从远古时代的兽角、葫芦等逐步演变为陶制酒器、青铜制酒器、漆制酒器、玉制酒器以及后来的金银酒器、玻璃酒器和不锈钢酒器等等。每一种酒器都有其不同的类型，比如青铜制酒器中就有尊、壶、皿、鉴、瓿等。有些酒器会做成特定的动物形状，如羊、牛、兔等；有些酒器上绘有人物、山水等图案，其种类繁多，造型各异。当然，这些形状各异、色彩缤纷的

满传空”六礼，指要把杯中酒喝干，并亮底给同座检查。明代冯时化的《酒史》，记述了苏州宴客“杯中余沥，有一滴，则罚一杯”。如实在酒量不济，要婉言声明，并稍饮表示敬意。

2、酒德

酒德，指饮酒的道德规范和酒后应有的风度。合度者有德，失态者无德，恶趣者更无德。酒德二字，最早见于《尚书》和《诗经》，其含义是说饮酒者要有德行，不能“颠覆厥德，荒湛于酒”。儒家并不反对饮酒，但反对狂饮烂醉。

中国酒德的主要内容包括三个方面：

一是要量力而饮。即饮酒不在多少，贵在适量。《饮膳正要》指出：“少饮为佳，多饮伤神损寿，易人本性，其毒甚也。醉饮过度，丧生之源。”

二是要节制有度。即饮酒要注意自我克制，做到饮酒而不乱。《三国志》裴松之注引《管辂别传》说到管辂自励励人：“酒不可极，才不可尽。吾欲持酒以礼，持才以愚，何患之有也?”就是力戒贪杯与逞能。

三是饮酒不能强劝。酒林中一些近乎疯狂的欢饮者，常常是把沉溺当豪爽，把邪恶当有趣。其实，人的酒量各异，强人饮酒不仅败坏了饮酒的乐趣，而且有损身体健康。因此，在群饮过程中既要热闹，又要理智，不能强人所难，执意劝饮。

（二）西方的酒吧文化

酒吧，是西方人饮酒的主要且特定的场所，在英文中写作“BAR”，原意是指木栅栏。在欧洲，早期的酒吧只是出售酒品的柜台，后来，随着酿酒业的发展，酒吧从饭店和餐馆中分离出来，成为专门出售酒水和供客人饮酒、交友、聚会、娱乐的地方。

在西方国家，酒吧的数量和种类都非常多，其分类方法也不尽相同，根据酒吧形式进行分类，可以分为主酒吧、酒廊、服务酒吧、多功能酒吧等。

1、主酒吧

主酒吧大多数装饰美观、典雅、别致，设备完善，并备有足够可靠柜吧凳、大多数中国人把酒当做是一种特殊的物质，对酒本身的关注度并不那么高，人们更多的是依靠饮酒而追求酒之外的东西。在欢乐时酒可助兴，在忧愁时酒可浇愁；可邀三五好友在酒馆里豪饮，也可在家中独自小酌；可用大碗显豪饮，也可用小盅慢品。如此种种，都说明了在中国人的主观感情思维中，酒文化体现了其“以人为本”的特征。大部分中国人很少对酒种类、酿造和品鉴方法感兴趣，而会津津乐道于各种饮酒趣事。

在西方人看来，酒是一种特殊的艺术品，拥有魅力和生命。面对这个的神圣艺术品，西方人用心去欣赏和玩味。西方人喝酒时讲究规矩和套路，他们通常会去酒吧喝酒，而酒吧有特定的布局，酒吧侍者也有一套特定的规范化的服务操作程序。西方人注重酒的本身品质，对饮酒器具十分的讲究，他们把酒看成是艺术品，认为都要有适合自己的杯子，只有相互间完美地配搭，才能充分的享受饮酒的乐趣。这些充分说明了西方人的科学、理性的思维方式，体现了“以物为本”的特征。如果让他们选择的话，大部分人可能会滔滔不绝地讲述酒的种类、酿造和品鉴方法。

酒是一种客观存在的物质，更是一种文化。酒文化作为一种特殊的文化形式，中西方对其有着不同的解读。中西方饮酒之道的差异也折射出其背后不同的文化和思维模式。在信息化和全球化的今天，中西方文化在交流中也在不断地相互融合渗透。分析和比较中西方酒文化的差异有助于我们更加深入的了解酒文化背后所隐藏的中西文化差异，更好的为我们进行跨文化交际、交流服务，更好的为世界人民融洽交流服务。

第三篇：中西家庭教育对比论文 (精选)

中西家庭教育对比

【摘要】近几年来，随着素质教育的深入人心，家庭教育已经成为当今社会关注的一个热点，是千万家庭的切身利益和迫切需求。因为，良好的家庭教育直接关系到了孩子的素质和品行，更关系到祖国的未来。它是科教兴国和可持续发展战略的重要组成部分，就中国目前来看，家庭教育的发展态势良好，一大批家长、学校创造了成功的经验，更有许多学生家长主动学习家庭教育知识，教育观念发生了深刻变化.但是尽管如此，家庭教育仍是一个薄弱环节，尤其是随着西方教育思想的传入，中国家长面对传统与现代家教思想，表现出无所适从的无奈。因此，对于开展家庭教育，既是机遇，又是挑战。而且，中西家庭教育各有千秋，在不同方面，教育方法也不同，所以我们就需要深刻了解中西家庭教育的差异，取长补短，并且不失时机地推进家庭教育现代化，这样中国的未来才具有不可估量的发展前景。

【关键词】 家庭教育，中西，传统，差异

从古至今，家庭教育在整个国家教育事业中起着重要的作用。邓小平曾说过；“国家现代化的基础在人才，人才的基础在教育，教育的基础在家庭。中国是一个重视家庭教育的国家。中国深厚的教育文化传统中包含了优秀的家庭教育成分。” 家庭教育、学校教育、社会教育是教育的三大支柱，三者缺一不可。如今，家庭教育业已成为当今社会关注的一个热点，是千万家庭的切身利益和迫切需求。

不过在比较之前，我觉得我们应该了解一下中西方国家的社会背景。众所周知，中国是社会主义制度，而大多数西方国家是属于资本主义制度。并且，历史文化也是不同的，中国提倡儒家思想，西方国家提倡文艺复兴。但是最重要的一点就是他们对家庭教育地位的态度也是不同的。在中国的传统家庭里，家长的权威意识占主导地位，而西方文明则主要强调斗争，平等，民主及人权。

当然，家庭教育是人类的一种教育实践。中西家庭教育还是有诸多共同之处。一般来说，它可以归纳于五点。

1、重视家庭教育。无论哪个国家，哪个民族都认为家庭是一个人的第一所学校，而家长是第一位老师。无论是中国，还是西方国家，无论是古代、近代还是现代，家庭教育始终是处于最基础的地位。

2、家教应从小做起，及时施教。《颜氏家训》说：“父母施教，当及婴稚，识人颜色，知人喜怒，便加教诲。”因为“人生幼小，精神专利，长成以后，思虑散逸，固须早教，勿失机也。”杜威也认为家庭教育应及早施行。

3、父母在教育角色上的分工。无论中西，在许多文化中母亲均被描绘成是主要抚养者，父亲则起有限的作用。父亲是孩子知性教育的主要承担者。母亲则负责孩子的饮食起居，物质保障，情感满足等，是孩子情感培育的主要承担者。其结果是孩子对父爱敬畏有余，亲爱不足，使亲子关系偏差，影响孩子的健全发展。

4、重视培养孩子热爱求知的习惯，重视阅读。古代的中国父母，一向深知这个道理，他们引导幼儿从小习读四书五经，诸子百家，激发其求知欲望。西方的父母也非常重视家庭阅读，幼儿睡前必听一段故事诵读，这是西方家教的一项优良传统。

5、重视言传身教。父母是孩子的模范，往往一个简单的动作要比上万句指令性的灌输有效的多。

尽管如此，由于中西方地域的差异和各自文化的不同，使得中西传统家教在更多的方面表现出各自的特色。据我所知，这大概涉及了十个方面。

1、教育倾向不同。

中国父母重社会教化，轻儿童成长。中国父母十分重视社会适应性的教化，但却常常忽视了从孩子达到身心发展的特点出发来促进其成长，他们往往按照既定的模式来培养子女，为他们的成长铺设康庄大道，外铄各种品行于子女。

西方父母更重视为子女提供一个可以与之抗争的成长环境，并养成他们坚韧的个性和良好的品行，根据社会的变化和子女身心的特征不断的调节、选择自己的培养观念和方式。

2、家庭教育价值观不同

中国家庭教育职能是为中国传统文化所强迫，传统中国几千年的儒家文化强调“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”。在此家国同构的思维定向中，家庭教育被赋以直接的社会意义。此外，中国传统的文化又将父母教育跟子女的个体成长与成就看作是直接相关的因果。中国父母十分看重人们对他们的教子方面作出的誉毁，认为教子成材是他们的成就，而教子不善则脸面无光。教育的目的是为了谋生，为了脸面。

西方家庭教育则认为教育的目的不是准备谋生，而是准备生存。他们所强调的“博雅教育”是具有一种塑造心智的价值，一种与功利的或职业的考虑无关的价值。

中国家庭的“比较”往往重学习，“比较”的方面较为单一，西方国家的家庭的“比较”往往注重全面的素质，中国家庭的比较，常常爱拿自己孩子的优点与他人孩子的缺点比较，使家长得以自慰；西方家庭的比较，往往能自省自己孩子的优点和成功之处，不习惯于争强好胜，论高低上下，中国的家庭在比较时往往想突出自己的形象，有意无意地贬低别人；西方家庭的比较往往注重自身的自尊、自重、自乐。

3、家庭主体观与教育的相互性不同

中国传统的家庭文化因袭着统治的模式，表现为家庭内部的权威意识。强调服从和尊重，重视外部控制。在中国的传统文化中，家庭的主要教育者是父母。中国父母的家长意识十分强烈。他们把孩子视为自己的独有私人财产，看作是他们的附属物。因此十分看重他们单方面的塑造，影响孩子的个性建构。他们注意到自身的形象，忽视了孩子与成人的相互作用，忽视了相互影响的过程和全面性，使幼儿处于被动地位，无视幼儿个体的存在。

西方文明是以儿童为主体的，更强调个人的奋斗，强调平等、民主并尊重个人权利。西方父母把孩子视为家庭中的平等成员，尊重孩子的人格和尊严，能让孩子独立思考，自由选择。他们尊重孩子的权利，不搞强迫教育。尊重孩子的自尊，主张孩子的天性发展，自然发展。父母的责任只在于发现并引导孩子的兴趣和潜能。为孩子创造有利的环境，重视与孩子的交流，重视教育的相互性。西方家庭教育中父母不是孩子的主宰，而是孩子的朋友。

4、教育的重心不同

中国传统文化所掌握的是生命与道德，所以十分重视生命、人伦。所以中国父母在教育上历来以道德作为最高价值取向。中国人心目中的“好孩子”首先是一个懂事听话的孩子，是指向群体的，人见人爱的。所以家长培养孩子修身养性，自我收敛，讲求含蓄，强调等级观念。中国家教的主要内涵是“仁、义、礼、智、信、忠、恕”中国孩子从小得到的是历史故事、伦理道德、忠孝节义的教导。儿童自幼耳濡目染的是冰冷的道德律令与清规戒律。自幼习读的是《三字经》、《弟子规》。

西方文化所掌握的则是知识，家庭对儿童主要是启发对大自然的好奇心与想象力。知识的创造来自好奇心。所以借由引发对大自然的兴趣，借由各种天马行空的童话故事，让孩子们具有广大的想象空间，以有利于对知识的创造，他们以儿童的心理发展作为最高指向，培养孩子的兴趣和创造力是西方家教的重心。

5、家庭本位与个人本位

中国传统文化是以家庭为本位的，注重个人的职责与义务。这在加以价值取向上呈现出如下特点：（1）家庭的教育功能强化。子女教育是家庭生命延续的一部分，家庭教育还在于达到“家教持久”的目的，它是维持发展家庭社会政治地位，保存弘扬家庭文化的重要工具。

（2）教育以家庭利益为主要价值取向。“光宗耀祖”、“光耀门第”是读书人的追求与目标。个人利益与家庭利益是融为一体的。这与中国传统文化的“永生观”紧密相关。

西方文化以个人为本位，注重个人的自由和权利。在教育上表现为将受教育者放在突出地位，强调个性的培养。但是个体本位并不等于个人主义，更不等同于以孩子为中心，家庭呼唤有丰富个性的个人，是能驾御自我，控制自我，超越自我的，拥有完美人格和健全个性的真正现代意义上的现代个人，而不是自私自利，依赖性强的功利化的个人。

6、独立意识的培养

中国家长在教育上所持的价值是为升学而学习，他们只要求孩子用心学习，其余全不用过问。使孩子从小养成依赖别人的习惯，在风浪面前，变得束手无策，一旦失去帮助就会怨天尤人。西方父母注重从小就培养子女的独立意识，在西方家庭可以看到，孩子像大人一样，直呼来访亲朋好友的名字，大胆的发表自己的见解，参与家庭的讨论。这样独立的个性使孩子走向社会时更注重个人的能力与奋斗。

7、情感教育与体罚

家庭教育不同于学校教育的一个重要特点是爱的教育。中国家庭中反复出现的一个字是“不”、“不能”、“不行”、“不要”，中国集体教育除了用否定词来指导孩子的行为外，还习惯于对孩子说“应该”。西方家庭中经常用鼓励性的语言来表达父母对子女的赞赏。西方父母更注重个人素质与情感沟通。家庭主要围绕情感的构建与培育而展开。

8、教育方法的不同

中国传统的教育方法是照本宣科的灌输式教育，强调死记硬背。“两耳不闻窗外事，一心只读圣贤书”。西方更强调孩子的“悟”。他们喜欢让孩子亲身厉行，去大自然中，去生活中探求知识。

9、理财教育

在中国，挣钱养家和管理钱财是大人的事，孩子离这些还很远。他们没钱时便伸手向父母要。即使是成家立业后还是可以的。

在西方，理财教育是家庭教育的一个分支。西方父母一般不会不正规、无计划的给孩子钱，而是定期发给孩子一份固定基金。并帮助孩子树立正确的理财意识，养成良好的理财习惯，还注重对金钱的基本品质的培养。

10、宗教思想与科学教育

虽然中国文化也是以宗教为开端的，但是在教育上我们更强调科学性。《中华人民共和国义务教育法》明确规定：教育与宗教相分离。

西方的宗教传统直到近代乃至现代仍保留着强大的势力，它渗透到教育活动的各个方面，不仅是教育带有浓厚的宗教色彩，更重要的是它赋予了西方教育以内在的精神价值。

综上所述，我们可以看出中西家庭教育传统各有千秋，他们都是扎根于各自的传统文化土壤中的。我们当前遇到的家庭教育中的不良现象有很大一部分是由于具体教法的不妥而造成的。

因此，我们要一方面继承和发扬中国古代家庭教育的优良传统，另一方面汲取西方家教的精华，促进有中国特色的家庭教育的改革。在吸取我国优秀民族文化的基础上，将现代科学育人知识和方法，大力普及到千家万户，转变家长的观念，提高家长的自身素质。

在这里我有几点建议，主要包含4个方面：(1)首先是家庭教育观念的现代化，摒弃陈旧教育观念，与时俱进，跟上时代发展步伐。现代家庭教育的内容和方法科学化，以及教育手

段的现代化。建立现代家庭教育的机制，实现家庭教育管理的规范化。建立家庭教育的服务体系，做到保障措施制度化。

(2)确立家长在教育行为中的法制观念，解决好家庭教育中依法治教的问题；增强家庭教育的民主意识，尊重孩子，平等沟通，改变简单粗暴、压制体罚等不良作风；

(3)树立新的家庭教育理念，把“教子做人”作为家庭教育的重中之重；利用亲情教育的优势，开展个性化教育，发展孩子个性，为国家培养各种有用之才；采取鼓励、引导、宽容的科学方法，耐心教育，不断提高孩子自尊心、自信心和上进心；

(4)紧跟知识经济和信息时代的发展，进一步拓宽家庭教育思路，增强开放意识，提高家庭教育的适应性；重视和解决“重智轻德”的教育倾向，促进智力因素与非智力因素教育的有机结合，教育孩子学会学习和求知；继承中华民族优秀家教传统同时，也要面向世界，吸收引进外国思想文化精品，开展东西方家庭教育的交流。

【总结】 总之，中国的家庭教育和西方家庭教育有很大差异，各有优劣，我们应该祛除糟粕，取其精华。不失时机地推进家庭教育现代化，使教育世界化，各自取长补短，共同发展。

第四篇：中西酒文化对比文献综述

中西酒文化对比文献综述

姓名：何煌 班级：10级英语一班 学号：201041010125

摘要：酒是人类生活中的主要饮料之一。在人类文化的历史长河中，它不仅是一种客观的物质存在，而且是一种文化象征，即酒神精神的象征。酒文化源远流长，品种繁多，是一个国家历史发展和文化沉淀过程中不可缺少的一环。中西方文化价值观存在着根本性的差异，酒文化也是一样。本文通过比较中西方酒的源头，酿酒原料与酒品的差异，酒文化核心的差异，酒的交际功能等方面的不同来分析和比较中西方酒文化差异，从而进一步阐述中西方文化差异，特别是价值观方面的差异。关键词：中国，西方，酒文化，比较

文化是人类在社会历史过程中所创造的物质财富和精神财富的总和，中国和西方的酒文化差异，包括酒的酿造工艺和酒人文精神等的差异，都可以归结为物质和精神两大类。造成这些差异的原因是多方面的，不仅有地理环境、物产和风俗习惯等因素的不同，而且有生产方式、文化传统等因素的不同，但是也不外乎客观和主观两个方面。只要密切关注这两个方面的变化，就能在一定程度上了解和把握中国和西方酒文化发展的脉搏，促进中西文化的交流与发扬光大。

酒被认为是酒神赐予人们的礼物。酒文化源远流长。酒在人们日常的交际生活中起着重要作用。由于生活环境、历史背景、传统习俗、价值观念、思维模式和社会规范等的不同，东西方（甚至国与国之间）的酒文化呈现出风格迥异、丰富多彩的民族特性。对东西方酒文化特性进行比较研究，颇有意义。东西方酒文化同中有异、异中有同，内容丰富。了解不同民族的酒文化，有助于人们成功地进行跨文化交际。

本文主要研究中西方酒文化在精神象征方面和风俗习惯中的差别。具体将从中西方酒文化所体现出的不同的酿酒技术、人文精神以及酒俗酒礼三个方面对本文主题进行阐述，本文旨在发扬中国酒文化，了解中西方酒文化，找出二者的差异，实现中西方酒文化的交流。

在中国的餐桌上，大家喝的酒一般是啤酒，如哈啤，青岛啤酒，雪花啤酒等等，或是白酒，如茅台，五粮液，北京二窝头等等。在美国，喝啤酒的人很多。但是，我很少见

到美国人有直接喝酒精浓度很高的白酒，这和中国很不同。还有，我极少见到美国人在餐桌上互相敬酒，大家通常都是各喝各的。只有在某些特定场合，大家才会一同举杯。这样的时刻通常是在某人致辞之后，大家交相举杯，祝福某人，为某人某事庆贺。仔细想想，可以发现：中国人饮酒重视的是人，要看和谁喝，要的是饮酒的气氛；西方人饮酒重视的酒，要看喝什么酒，要的是充分享受酒的美味。中国的饮酒礼仪体现了对饮酒人的尊重。主人，客人都有固定的座位，都有固定的敬酒次序。敬酒时要从主人开始敬，主人不敬完，别人是没有资格敬的，如果乱了次序是要受罚的。而敬酒一定是从最尊贵的客人开始敬起，敬酒时酒杯要满，表示的也是对被敬酒人的尊重。晚辈对长辈、下级对上级敬酒要主动敬酒，而且讲究的是先干为敬。而行酒令、划拳等饮酒礼仪，也是为了让饮酒人喝的更尽兴而应运而生的。显然，中国酒文化深受中国尊卑长幼传统伦理文化的影响，在饮酒过程中把对饮酒人的尊重摆在最重要的位置上。而西方人饮用葡萄酒的礼仪，则反应出对酒的尊重。品鉴葡萄酒要观其色、闻其香、品其味，调动各种感官享受美酒。在品饮顺序上，讲究先喝白葡萄酒后喝红葡萄酒、先品较淡的酒再品浓郁的酒、先饮年轻的酒在饮较长年份的酒，按照味觉规律的变化，逐渐深入地享受酒中风味的变化。而对葡萄酒器的选择上，也是围绕着如何让拼饮者充分享受葡萄酒的要求来选择的。让香气汇聚杯口的郁金香型高脚杯、让酒体充分舒展开的滗酒器、乃至为掌握葡萄酒温度而为品饮专门设计的温度计，无不体现出西方人对酒的尊重，他们的饮酒礼仪、饮酒文化都是为更好的欣赏美味而制定的。

无论是中国的豪饮，还是西方的品酒，都希望酒文化能够在以后的时间里比较出更多更好的酒，也可以是酒文化得到发展和继承，让更多的人了解酒文化，欣赏酒文化！在中国，酒常常被当做一种工具，所谓醉翁之意不在酒。如青梅煮酒是为了论证谁是英雄；杯莫停的将进酒，为的是与尔同消万古愁；竹林里狂歌的七贤，为的是借酒避难。酒在中国人眼里更多的是当作一种交际的工具，所以在中国的酒文化中缺乏对于酒本身进行科学而系统的理论分析和品评，更在意饮用他后带来的美妙作用。在西方，饮酒的目的往往很简单，为了欣赏酒而饮酒，为了享受美酒而饮酒。当然，在西方葡萄酒也有交际的功能，但人们更多的是追求如何尽情的享受美酒的味道。

比较中西方酒文化，可以发现，酒文化之间的差异其实就是中西方思维方式的差异。中国人喝白酒的多，西方人基本不喝白酒，以果酒和啤酒为主，中国酒礼可太多了，一时也说不清，各地都不相同，我有个朋友说，他有个外国朋友，外国朋友说过：“我们德国人喝的才叫酒，你们中国人喝的不叫酒，叫酒精”好了，把这个事写到你的论文

中吧，这个外国人说的话说明了很多问题，我国酒的酿造工艺非常差，酒精直接对水，像法国的葡萄酒，要选上好的葡萄，还要用橡木桶封装，工艺十分讲究。

鉴于上述情况，中西酒文化对比主要研究的是中西方酿酒技术的差异、中西方酒俗的差异、中西方酒文化所折射出的人文精神的差异。酒文化是人类社会文化和历史文化的投影，从一个侧面反映出其所属群族的文化本质。酒文化的差异就是其主体文化的差异，不同的饮酒习俗与酿酒技术和原料等，有助于我们加深对主体文化差异的认知。

第五篇：中西哲学对比 选修论文

中国哲学的神话渊源

摘要：正如尼采点明“日神精神”和“酒神精神”是西方哲学精神在前轴心期神话时代的渊源，“夸父精神”和“女娲精神”是中国哲学精神在前轴心期神话时代的渊源。夸父精神是一种阳刚进取的“非理性’精神，而女娲精神是一种阴柔包容的“理性”精神。这两种基本精神呈现为互补炭系，共同构成中华民族哲学的二元一体格局。经过一定时期的理性转换，尤其是经过周易哲学的话语转换。它们成为了中华民族哲学精神的核心精神。

Abstract：Just as Nietzsche pointed out that Dionysus’ spirits and Apollo’s spirits were the mythological sources of Western philosophy in Pre-axial Period。Kuafu’s spirits and Nvwa’s spirits were the mythological sources of Chinese philosophy in Pre-axial Period ．Kuafu’s was a irrational spirit of enterprise。while Nvwa’s was a rational spirit of gentleness and lenity．They appeared in a relation of mutual-complement and formed the dual integration of Chinese national philosophy．Through the rational transformation in the Axial Period.Especially that of philosophical utterance in the Book of Change，both of them became the central spirits of the philosophy of Chinese Nation，关键词：夸父精神；女娲精神；哲学精神；神话象征

从小我们就非常熟悉女娲、夸父等神话人物，他们有的是人类的救星，有的有着非同一般的经历，有的则展示了可贵的精神。这些神话故事对我们人格的培养也发挥了不少的作用。后来我们又接触了西方神话，知道了西方神话中的宙斯、阿波罗、奥丁等众神，这给了我们耳目一新的感觉。让我们看到了两种文化的不同。下面，我们将中国古代神话与西方神话作一比较。简单探讨研究一下中西方文化的异同。中国上古神话没有得到充分发育，它没有欧洲那样的神话巨制，现存的神话都是支离破碎的，散见于各种古代典籍之中，在经、史、子、集四部里都有，并且不成系统。然而，古希腊神话却不同。希腊有一部长达４８卷，近两万八千行的荷马史诗——《伊里亚特》和《奥德赛》，记载、加工了古希腊丰富的神话传说，并形成了一个完整、庞大的神话传说体系。这是由于希腊神话产生之时，曾出现若干城邦奴隶制国家，与此同时出现了相应的城邦文化，出现了史诗形式及悲剧，这些史诗和悲剧都以古神话为武库和素材，因而使得希腊上古时代的神话得到记录、整理、加工和流传。此外，古希腊直至公元前 ４世纪为马其顿所吞并时，还是奴隶社会，奴隶社会越长，对上古神话的保存发展才越有好处。再有，早在荷马时代，希腊人便已基本上作为一个整体在活动了，他们的城邦以斯巴达、雅典为首，经常联合行动，于是他们中间出现了像荷马那样的人物，把分散、零碎的神话综合在一起，构成一个完整的体系。以后希腊神话一直被保存下来。

每个民族的哲学精神乃奠基于“轴心时期”，这一点现在已得到公认；但轴心时期的这种哲学精神却是孕育于此前的“神话时代”的，这一点还没有引起人们足够的注意，相反，人们倒是更多地注意到了“前轴心期”的轴心时期之间的差异对立。例如西方当代某些哲学家为了反思和克服轴心时期以来哲学的弊端，力图返回前轴心期。其实，西方哲学精神虽然确立于古希腊哲学时代，但它却是孕育于此前的古希腊神话时代的，这就正如中国哲学精神虽然确立于春秋战国时期。但它同样孕育于此前的中国神话时代。显然，神话乃是民族哲学精神的最初的象征形式。因此。我们可以通过对一个民族神话的阐释，来揭示这个民族哲学传统的渊源。唯其如此。尼采所提出的“日神精神”与“酒神精神”，非常形象精炼地概括表征了西方哲学的核心精神。这对于我们探寻中国哲学精神在前轴心期神话中的渊源与象征提供了一种很好的参照。中华民族哲学精神核心可以概括为由上古神话所表征的阳刚进取的“夸父精神”与阴柔包容的“女娲精神”；到了轴心时期，才由哲学话语转换为《周易大传》的乾阳之德“自强不息”精神与坤阴之德“厚德载物”精神，进而演化出中国哲学传统的两大支柱—儒家哲学与道家哲学。

每个民族在哲学觉醒的轴心时期之前，都曾有一个神话时代，区别仅仅在于这种神话的文本形式有所不同。古希腊神话的形式是<荷马史诗>，即长篇叙事诗的形式，这与中国藏民族《格萨尔王传》的形式一致，却与汉民族的神话文本形式有很大的区别。中国前轴心期汉语神话的形式既有诗歌的形式，例如《诗经》里就保存着许多上古神话传说(但也不同于西方式的长篇，而是短篇)；也有散文的形式，例如《尚书》乃至《左传》当中保存的许多远古英雄传说故事，就其实质而言，还是神话性质的东西。尼采正是从这种前轴心期的神话中提取了两个典型的形象，用以象征西方哲学精神的渊源：他在自己的第一部著作《悲剧的诞生》中，用“日神”阿波罗和“酒神”狄俄尼索斯这两个希腊神话形象，来概括象征西方哲学的两大根本精神传统。当然，在尼采那里，酒神精神与H神精神首先是“艺术精神”；但是尼采的美学从一开始就不只是一般美学家那样的美学，而毋宁说是一种人生观、乃至就是一种真正的哲学世界观。这是因为在他看来，“只有作为一种审美现象，人生和世界才显得是有充足理由的。”正是在这个意义上，《悲剧的诞生》才是他的哲学的真正诞生地。

“日神精神”和“酒神精神”是两种基本精神力量，作为乐观主义者的尼采跟作为悲观主义者的叔本华，对此的理解是不同的：叔本华认为，个体要通过否定个体化原理，来摆脱永恒痛苦，最终否定生命意志；尼采认为，个体是要通过超越个体化束缚，来达到意志本体境界，故肯定生命意志。日神精神和酒神精神之不同，“在我看来，日神是美化个体化原理的守护神，唯有通过它才能真正在外观中获得解脱；相反，在酒神神秘的欢呼下，个体化的魅力烟消云散，通向存在之母、万物核心的道路敞开了。”

关于夸父和女娲的神话记载，最早见于《山海经》。但《山海经》所载的神话故事能否视为“前轴心期”的东西，这似乎是存在疑问的。为此，我们应该严格区分这样两个问题：《山海经》这部书的成书时代问题。众所周知，班固<汉书·艺文志>已经著录了《山海经》，一般公认它至少是先秦的文献。至于到底“先”到什么时候，则是至今尚无定论的悬案。此书旧题为夏禹或伯益作，虽不可信，但似乎对于认识此书的来源之古也是有所启发的。我认为，《山海经》这样的文献也跟上古其它许多文献一样，并非一人一时之作，而是经历了一个长期的辗转流变过程，而它最初的形式所处的时代，我们已经不得而知，很可能是非常久远的了。《山海经》所记载的神话来源问题。我认为，《山海经》里所记载的那些事也跟其它许多上古文献所记载的故事一样，最初都是口耳相传的，至于这种口耳相传的情形究竟始于何时，很可能是极其渺远的时代。

夸父形象象征着中国哲学传统的刚健进取的精神，主要体现在以下几点上：刚健有为的进取精神。读夸父故事，我们强烈感受到一种昂扬奋进的精神力量。尤其是在他饥渴难耐、“渴欲得饮”的情况下，“饮于河渭，河渭不足，北饮大泽”，毫不气馁，想方设法补充水分，恢复体力，以便继续“追赶太阳”，更表现出一种积极奋发的人生态度。这种人生态度乃是中华民族精神、中国哲学精神的一种主导倾向。知其不可为而为之的执着精神。这种真正的英雄主义，也是中华民族精神的重要内容。还有死而后已的坚韧精神。确实，总起来看，夸父精神与尼采的酒神精神有相当一致的特征，即具有一种非理性主义的性质。

女娲形象象征着中国哲学的柔韧包容的精神传统。博大宽厚的包容精神。在中国哲学中，“地”一向是作为宽容博大的象征的。女娲精神与“地”具有密切联系，在一定意义上可以说是大地的象征。生生不息的生命精神。上文谈到女娲造人、作为“高媒”之神主管婚姻生殖，都表明了这一点。协调和谐的和合精神。“和”是中华民族的一种突出的精神传统，而女娲精神就是其早期神话体现。较之夸父精神，女娲精神似乎更具“实用理性”的意味：如果说夸父精神更接近于尼采的酒神精神，那么女娲精神就更接近于尼采的日神精神。

儒、道两家的哲学，其实正是夸父精神和女娲精神进入轴心时期以后的两种表现。儒家入世，崇尚有为，富有进取精神，正是夸父精神的体现；道家避世，崇尚自然，富于退让精神，乃是女娲精神的体现。当然，进一步讲，儒道两家各自分别亦兼有夸父精神和女娲精神，只不过侧重点不同而已。
