Differences between Chinese and British food culture
We all know that different nations have different cultures.Food culture as an important part of the culture, the differences between Chinese and British food culture involves many parts, such as eating habits, mealtimes, different dishware and dining rituals.First of all, let's know about Chinese food cultures.In China, people like to eat together.We can regard it as collectivistic orientation.There are several times which Chinese must get together and have a meal together.For examples, when people get married, the new couples will invite their friends and relatives, and prepare banquet for them.Also when people died or baby born, even people move into their new house, Chinese will get together and eat together.It sound like Chinese show their special emotion by eat together.But pay a attention to these things: you'd better don't start to eat when the elder haven't start to eat, and you 'd better eat dishes nearby, don't try to get the dishes which are far away from you.When you eat at someone's home, don't eat all of food in you dish when you full, but just a little food left ,or hostess would think you didn't eat enough.Then, let's know something about British food culture.In Britain, people pay more attention to privacy.You can't go other's home before you were invited.When you were invited to party, you'd better be late for about 10minutes, but if you late over 30minutes, you should apologize to the host.British food are simple, but eating manners are complex.The most important is that you must sit up straight and keep quiet.You should put everything in place, don't put cutlery optionally.Generally speaking each meal has a main dish and salad, and final dessert.Don't burp in front of others and you 'd better do not smoke when you eat.After the meal, you should leave one hour later.If you want to be a gentleman, you should move chair for ladies before and after meal.Maybe we can find that there is a little difference between Chinese and British food culture.And next, Let's know more details about Chinese and British food culture.1.Different Features in Chinese and British food culture Because of the long history and wildly area of China.Chinese food contain lots of parts, even people in different season use different way to cook.There are too many kinds of food to list.When someone invite their friends in China.The more expensive or precious the food is, the more “face” he can earn.In this sense, formal banquets in China have one thing in common :there should be more than enough food on the table.Otherwise the host will lose face.Compared with extravagant banquets in China, the scale of banquets in Britain is much smaller.For example: in a party , the host usually does not prepare food and drinks and serves some simple food only like cheese , sandwiches and fruits.For most British this is a good opportunity for communication and strengthen relationships.2.Different seating arrangement In China, the seat facing south in a banquet is usually regarded as the most important, while the seat facing north is comparatively less important.But things are different in Britain.In the past , the most distinguished guest was seated on the left side of the host.With the development of civilization, this old style of assassination has been extinct for a long time.Nowadays, the seat at the right side of the host is more honorable than one on the left side in the widely recognized rule.3.Different main food in Chinese and British food culture Rice and cooked wheaten food are two main staple foods in China.Also other kinds of cereals like maize, Kaoliang, grain, tuber crop have become staple food.Meat, milk and bread are the staple food in Britain.A common meal usually consists of soup, bread and butter.Potato is another staple food in Britain, it is as important as rice in China.There are so many differences between Chinese food culture and British's.There are also other aspects which I have not mentioned.We can't tell which is batter ,but we should accept different cultures and respect them.If someday we go to other countries ,we do as Romans do.
第二篇:中西方文化差异英语作文
Difference betweenChinese and Western cultures Undoubtedlythereare so many differences between Chinese and Western culture, such as manners, language and so many others.Maybe history is one of the major cause of it.Chinese culture is older than 5000 years, and Chinese people have developed their own music, musical instruments, painting techniques, traditional Chinese medicine, and not to forget, cooking methods as wellwhich is completely different and unique when compared to Western culture.So this time I’m going to pick some aspects and talk about it.Like what mentioned above, cooking methods of China is totally different from the westerns’.Not like west people, we have so many ways to deal with foods.It is said that there are more than fifty ways for a Chinesecook to choose every time he dealing withthe same kind offood.No wander to be a great cook in china you have to start training from young child.ComparedwithChinese, westerns seems to be more casual when they are cooking.They usually cook food by frying or stewing.Because they would like to put emphasis on food’s nutrition not the taste of it.When it comes to the aspect of men’s behavior, there is a vast difference in the rules of behavior between Chinese and Westerns.Westerns are more willing to change the environment rather than adapting themselves to it, which is opposite to Chinese people.Affected by the ancient philosophies of China, we believe in that we must get ourselves into one certain environment.For example, once we come into a new group, we are always told to follow others so that we can become one of it.But westerners would like to make them change and teach them to work in his way.Besides the behavior of people from two distinct culture, the realization of self-worth is different for Chinese and westerns.Affected by the Confucius’s philosophy from the ancient time.We believed that we should put our countryahead of our own interests.One can be respected only by making contribution for his country, like some war heroes.But westerns do respect those who succeed in his own lives.They believe that man who achieve goals of happiness and success by working hard is worth others’ respecting.Maybe that can explains why so many millionaire inChina can’t have the equal reputation compared to those westerns’.Anyway, Westerners usuallyfind the Chinese culture complex, and hard to understand, as the Chinese culture has its own values, background and belief system.
