一、中西方文化的思维方式不同:中国人的思维是螺旋的,西方的思维是直线型的,中国人的表达方式是比较委婉的,西方人与人交际表达是比较直接的。 西方人崇拜个人奋斗,尤其为个人取得的成就自豪,从来不掩饰自己的自信心、荣誉感,以及在获得成就后的狂喜。相反,中国文化不主张炫耀个人荣誉,而是提倡谦虚。中国人反对王婆卖瓜式的自吹自擂,然而中国式的自我谦虚或自我否定却常常使西方人大为不满。“Your English is very good(你的英文很好),” “No, no, my English is very poor(不,我的英文很差)”;“You’ve done a very good job(你的工作做的很好),”“No, I don't think It's the result of joint efforts(不,这是大家共同努力得结果)” 这种谦虚,在西方人看来,不仅否定了自己,还否定了赞扬者的鉴赏力。这种中国式的谦虚在资本主义的竞争市场是行不通的。二、中西方文化的烹饪方式不同:中国因为地广物博,也是四大文明古国,在对食物的烹饪上,中国的烹饪技巧比较多。西方的烹饪一般是不使用明火烹饪的,在西方,他们是使用其它方式加热食物。三、中西方文化道德观念差异:西方人注重个体,而中国注重团体,西方出现了个人英雄主义,中国出现了团结力量大,西方比较强调私有财产,西方比较重视契约精神,中国比较重视人情,中国重视国家利益和集体利益。
中西方文化差异地理空间的距离阻碍了中西方文化的交流和传播,但客观上也为中西方文化独立发展提供了便利条件,因此便产生了文化差异。中国延续了几千年孔,孟等古代哲学家的思想精华及伦理道德观念,而西方人则将黑格尔,康德等现代哲学家的思想发扬光大。这种传统文化的差异,直接影响了中西方人民的世界观,价值观和生活观。Geographical space distance hindered both chinese and western culture of communication and dissemination of, but the objective is to both chinese and western culture, developed independently provide facilities, therefore, produces cultural china, the several millennia, mencius, ancient chinese philosophical idea of the essence and ethical values and westerners is hegel, as modern philosophers ideas carried the traditional cultures, directly affect people both chinese and western world, values and 清朝的装束,喝的是茶水,吃的是大米饭;“卓别林”,吃的是火腿,喝的是啤酒。From the qing dynasty, drank their tea, and eat the rice ; "charlie chaplin," have a ham and drink 中国人进餐用勺和筷子,而西方人用刀和叉。Chinese meal with a spoon and chopsticks and knife and fork of the 中国人爱吃热餐而西方人爱吃冷餐。Chinese people love to eat hot food but western people love to eat cold 中国人对待事物比较隐忍但是西方人却十分直率。Chinese people take things a trial but westerners are very 中国人谦虚,含蓄,但西方人个性张扬。Chinese people are modest and reserved character, but the western 中国人旅游时边看边记录,而西方人只看。The chinese trip and look at the record, and the west people 中国人聚会时团团圆圆,但西方人却是零星。Chinese party luck, but westerners are 中国是农业大国,群居意识强,注重集体力量;西方人很早实现工业化,注重自我价值实现,人格独立。China's agricultural community, social, and strong sense of collective strength of the westerners ; early and pay attention to the industrialization of self-worth, independent 中国人右侧通行,西方人左侧通行。the chinese people through on the right but westerners on the
