Chinese dishes emphasize the color, smell, taste, shape, and taste of dishes. They even exceed the importance of nutrition. As long as th
5、ey are delicious and tasty, nutrition is not important. It is a scientific diet concept that Western diet is more particular about the collection and absorption of nutrition.

6、iet is mostly for health. They dont seem to pay much attention to the enjoyment of taste. In the dining atmosphere, Chinese love to eat when they are busy, a lot of people together to wine and eat together to create a lively and warm dining atmosphere. Unless it is at a very formal banquet, the Chin
7、ese people do not have any special etiquette on the table. Westerners like a quiet and quiet environment when they are having meals. They think they must pay attention to their manners when they are on the table, so they cant lose their manners, for example, they cant make very loud sounds when they

9、s respectful. Men and women are separated from each other. Seats are also separated. The seats for female guests are slightly higher than that male guests. Men should pull chairs for the guests on their right side to show respect for women. In addition, the Westerners have to sit right when they are
10、 eating. They think it is impolite to bend down, and eat up with your mouth, but this is exactly the way Chinese people usually eat. When eating Western-style food, the owner does not advocate drinking big, China table wine is necessary, with the wine drinking, sometimes in order to show respect for
11、 each other, when drinking is the cup is a drink. Chinese on the table to Quanjiu advised food as a courtesy, to persuade the guests to eat and drink, show the hospitality of the owner, and Westerners will never force others, often with guest hostess action. The host generally inquired whether the g
12、uest would like to drink something. The guest should answer the truth, and if the guest declined, the host was no longer reluctant. Chinese people will take the initiative to pour tea or drink, and keep tea. The Westerners have finished tea with their masters with their courtesy. Often do not know w

They never hide their confidence and sense of honor and joy after their achievements. On the contrary, China culture is not that show personal hono
15、r, advocate modest and prudent. However, the Chinese style of self modesty or self deny often makes the Westerners dissatisfied. In the eyes of the westerners, this not only denies itself, but also denies the appreciators, It can be seen that this kind of Chinese modesty is not feasible in the weste
16、rn competitive society. Therefore, in the view of Chinese, the Western way of thinking is more simple and direct, expressed in words: yes is be the same outside and inside, is yes, no is not 4.2 China traditional culture advocates the order of Western society, advocating freedom and equalityBoth in
17、the organization or in the family, Oriental culture ideas have a traditional thought. Although the concept of social class in the traditional etiquette system has been eliminated, the concept of social class still has an impact on the oriental culture. In China,. For example, the father has an absol
18、ute authority in the eyes of his son and the teacher in the eyes of the student. In western countries, in addition to Britain and other countries with the hierarchy of freedom, most western countries have advocated the concept of equality and freedom. Especially in the United States advocating equal
19、ity in the family, Americans do not speak seniority, as long as the mutual respect between family members, and can be called each other names or nicknames. At home, you can call the name of father and mother directly. All male elders can be called Uncle, and all female elders can be called aunts. It

24、Secondly, etiquette differences originate from different cultural backgrounds, characteristics in the history process are more or less with the local culture, so in cross-cultural communication, we should not only admit the existence of differences, but also to understand and respect these differenc
25、es. The key to success in intercultural communication is to treat cultural differences correctly. Understanding and respecting different cultures is a necessary condition to avoid cultural conflicts, achieve equal communication and cooperate successfully.
