Difference between Chinese and Western cultures
Undoubtedly there are 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 well which 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 Chinese cook to choose every time he dealing with the same kind of food. No wander to be a great cook in china you have to start training from young child. Compared with Chinese, 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 country ahead 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 in China can’t have the equal reputation compared to those westerns’.
Anyway, Westerners usually find the Chinese culture complex, and hard to understand, as the Chinese culture has its own values, background and belief system.
