8、es the constant integration of the China and Western dietary culture too. Cross-cultural communication under the globalize situation make various constant complementation and compatibility of dietary culture. Today, enjoying the diet with characteristics between east and west has already become the

9、customary thing in contemporary peoples daily life. We see western oceangoing ships such as French sumptuous meal, McDonald, Kentucky and so on. Everywhere on the street, and Chinese restaurant opened all over the whole world. The exchange of the dietary culture is existing in our daily life, and is

10、 making culture of global economy to combine in the course constantly, “belt conveyor “between different cultures. It has already become a kind of influence of enhanced culture day by day, is producing the function with much more greatly single more strength than any other globalization, also changi

11、ng the whole world silently. The exchange of the cooking culture, need mutual understanding between different culture and appreciate, it is a cross-cultural communication category, and it is that one kind is not a language behavior. Studying the diet cultural difference in cross-cultural communicati

12、on will make people promote mutual understanding, enjoy different feeling that different diet brings, promote the exchange, complementation between cultures and merge.1. The Origin of china and western dietary cultures1.1 The causes to the differences between China and western Food is an indispensab

13、le condition for the survival and development of human beings. As one of the world ancient nations, chinas diet has a history almost as long as that of Chinese civilization. But in western countries, ancient thinkers devoted less attention to the food problem than the Chinese philosophers did. Due t

14、o different ways of thinking and the matter of philosophy. Chinese Focus on “heaven” degree, With the opposite, westerners emphasis on “People-oriented”.These lead to differences between china and western dietary cultures2.2 The Present of China and western dietary culturesChina is the country of a

15、long history with an ancient culture, and enriching in cultural traditions. She feeds the 1.3 billion Chinese people, and Chinese culture is very inclusive; in the course of development it absorbs a lot of different cultures. On the diet between china and west, there exist various differences betwee

16、n Chinese and western dietary cultures. But with the development of cultural communication between China and the west, along with the strengthening of communication between China and the west, China has imported various kinds of western food, known as the KFC DICOS, McDonald. This marks a new wester

17、n dietary culture exchanges and infiltration. We believe that with the development of society, the cultural differences between Chinese and western dietary will no longer be the difference.1.Differences in dietary cultures2.1 Differences in conceptsThe Chinese and western diet have the differences t

18、hat cannot be ignored in concepts. Nobody will deny that the Western diet is a rational concept, regardless of the color of food, incense, flavor and shape, but nutrition must be assured. It cares about the intake of calories, vitamins, protein and so on during a day. Comparing with the Chinese diet

19、, western diet tastes stereotyped, as simple as chewing the candle, but the sense tells them: We must eat them all because of the nutrition. And then they put it bluntly, just like refueling machine.2.2.1 The concept of diet in the west countries The concept of western diet is compatible with the wh

20、ole western philosophy. Metaphysics is the main feature of western philosophy. Such kind of philosophy brings vitality to western culture, so the natural sciences, psychology and methodology achieve a rapid development. In some other aspects, such philosophy proposition is a significantly obstacle,

21、such as the dietary culture, which is the inevitable thing to drop behind, and just the metaphysics of methodology marks everywhere. In celebration, it stresses tableware, stresses the staple, stresses the servings, and stresses the color and shape mix of raw materials. But no matter how luxurious t

22、he grade is; from Los Angeles to New York, only one taste of steak, it is no art to speak of. And as dishes, the chicken is chicken; steak is steak, even in groups, which are also conducted in a shallow dish. In a dish of French Muttonchops, one side is potato mud, and muttonchops sits next to it, a

23、nother side is allocation of cooking beans, and plus a few tablets of tomato. Color is on clear, but the tastes of the various materials are separated, not to reconcile, and the entire flavor is also simple and clear. 2.2.2 The concept of diet in ChinaChinese diet is a sense of beauty diet. When peo

24、ple sample dishes, they often say this dish is delicious, and that dish is not delicious. But if you ask what is meant by delicious, why tasty and what are the aspects of delicious, I am afraid that it will be difficult to answer. This shows that which Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the “mo

25、od” that is difficult for one to say anything. Even using the color, flavor, shape and implement which people often said to make the realm reification, I am afraid it is still difficult to crown all. The beauty pursuit of Chinese cuisine is clearly overriding the rational pursuit. This concept of di

26、et is also coinciding with the traditional Chinese philosophy. Chinese philosophy as a representative of oriental philosophy, its distinguishing features is the macro, visual, vague and evasive. Chinese cooking method is to reconcile, and the ultimate goal is to reconcile out of a beautiful taste. T

27、he main stress is measure and the overall co-ordination. It contains a wealth of dialectics of Chinese philosophy, and all these depend on the degree of the wonderful flavor and harmony of dish. The ever-changing within degrees decides the changeable of Chinese food, and it also decides the characte

28、ristics of Chinese food as well as the characteristics on each of the chefs.2.2 Differences in targetsAll diet cannot be done without vegetables. The word dish is for the sound in China, and it always has something to do with the plants. According to a survey of western plants scholar, there are 600

29、 varieties of vegetables, six times more than in the west. In fact, the Chinese dishes, vegetable dish is usual food. Meat dish entered the normal diet only on holidays or higher living standards, so since ancient times, and there was a saying of fresh vegetables.Chinese people consider the vegetabl

30、es as the main dish; it has inextricably linked with the advocacy of Buddhists. They deem animals as people and plants have no soul. So, they advocate vegetarianism. Westerners do not seem to have such a good habit. They uphold a cultural origin of nomadic, seafaring nation. Living mainly by fishing

31、 and hunting, collection and planting are just the complement. There are more meat dishes in their lives. Feeding, clothing, and using are taken from the animals, and even Western medicine is derived from animals. When the westerners introduce the diet characteristics of their countries, they always

32、 feel that their diet is more reasonable on the mix of nutrition than China. The food industry is more developed, such as cans, fast food, although the taste is monotonous, but it saves time, and it also has good nutrition. Therefore, in their countries: people are generally healthier and taller tha

33、n Chinese, and the people have strong shoulders and developed muscles; but Chinese people look short, their shoulders narrow and legs thin, their skin yellow and their body weak. The differences between Chinese and western food for Westerners to judge the merits of the two diet is not justified. Chi

34、nese ordinary people drink green tea, and eat simple food such as vegetables and tofu for meal. Such kinds of food are the most healthy and beneficial according to the research of hygienist. Therefore, the remote people in china, whose diet are far from meat and wine, always live a long life. Also C

35、hina has a big population, and Chinese people have enormous power to resist disease, but they never try the non-diet. The Chinese vegetarians all eat tofu. Tofu is expected as the real meat in plants, as it has the nutrition that meat has. It is the meat without toxic materials. So the Chinese are v

36、egetarian used to be a custom without the promotion of scholars. It is also a custom that the European and American drink thick Wine, eat meat and fish. So there was science promotion before and a severe law later, such as the United States Prohibition. And the transfer will not carry out in a short

37、 time. Mr. Suns words tell out the scientific benefits of Chinese diet and disadvantages of Western diet. According to the characteristics of the significant differences between Chinese and Western diet targets, the Chinese character is called the plant character, while the Westerners is animal char

38、acter. In response to the cultural behaviors, Westerners love adventure, exploration, conflict; but the Chinese people only like to live banally. According to American expert on folklore Ruths opinions on the cultural pattern theory, Chinese culture is quite similar to the classical world Apollo-typ

39、e character and Westerners is similar to the modern world Faust-type. Indeed, the Westerners such as Americans in the development of the west, they put the whole family on the truck, and go out of the city in amid rumbling with the supplies. The Chinese people are always thinking about home and root

40、s, despite the promotion that young people should take the world as home. But after a few decades, the overseas Chinese will come back to the mainland with crutch to seek their roots. This concept of return and such human spirit that can only be said to cooperate with the accumulation in the diet. T

41、hen it brings cohesiveness to the Chinese nation and then makes the human folk full of energy.2.2 Differences in Patterns2.2.1 Differences in banquetThe Chinese and Western dietary patterns can be very different, and these differences affect the national character. In China, a celebration, no matter

42、 what, there will be only one form, as sitting together, sharing one feast. Banquet uses round table, which has created a unity of form, which is courtesy, comity atmosphere. Cate are in the center of the table. It is the objects for people to appreciate and taste, and it is also an intermediate of

43、communication. People toast each other and share the vegetables, which reflect the mutual respect between people in the face of the good things, also show the virtues of comity. Although from the health point of view, this approach has obvious deficiencies, but it is in our national happy mentality,

44、 it reflects the classical Chinese philosophy area of and impact for future generations. It is helpful to facilitate the collective emotional exchanges and consequently difficult to reform.The western-style banquets, although the food and wine are very important, but in fact they are just foil. The

45、core of Banquet is friendship, by the conversation with the guests who sitting next to achieve the purpose of recreation. If making an analogous compare between the recreation of the banquets and dancing, it may be said that the Chinese banquet is like group dance, and the western banquet is like me

46、n and women dancing. This shows that communication purpose of Chinese banquet and western banquet are very obvious. Only the Chinese banquet is more popular in the communion, but western banquet shows guests reflected in the friendship between neighbors.2.2.2 Differences in buffet dinnerThe more obv

47、ious differences between Chinese and western dietary patterns is buffet dinner which is popular in the West. This method is to display all food, and everybody is picking not fixed in his or her places to eat. They walk freely. This approach would provide the emotional interaction between individuals

48、; they never need to put every word on the table. This also shows a western personality and self-respect. However, all the eating without jamming lacks the real affective tone like the Chinese people. Some people want to put the buffet in the Chinese food, but I think it is not feasible. The Chinese people
