NO.1 The wedding customs in China
As we all know, different countries have different wedding customs. When it comes to Chinese traditional wedding customs, we may think of many complicated customs etiquette.In ancient China, After riding in the red bridal bride, the groom rode in front, with the matchmaker, and the Bridal teams to groom the family weddings. Both parents sit on the court, while the bride and groom were married the next hall. The whole wedding presided over by the master of ceremonies, under the command of his , a bride and groom preparing for the wedding, and worshiped Diocese, then husband and wife worship, into the bridal chamber.
Today,more and more weddings in China are western,however, the theme of Chinese wedding is remaind.At first, Red is central to the wedding theme of China. It signifies love, joy and prosperity and is used in a variety of ways in Chinese wedding traditions. The bride's wedding down is often red, as are the wedding invitations, and wedding gift boxes or envelopes for cash gifts. Even the bride and groom's homes are decorated in red on the wedding day.
Second, before a Chinese bride wedding celebration, she traditionally goes into seclusion with her closest friends. This Chinese custom gives the bride-to-be some
time to symbolically mourn the loss of her friends and family. Some time before the couple are married, the groom's family carries wedding gifts in red baskets and boxes to the bride's house. One of the baskets will contain "uang susu" or 'milk money'. Others will contain personal things for the bride, so that on her wedding day all of her personal belongings will be in the groom's house. The bride takes the gifts to another room where they are sorted through. Three days before the wedding day, women from the bride's family reciprocate, bearing gifts -- including some 'returns'-- in red wrappings to the groom's family.
In addition, Wedding anniversaries in China are carefully chosen according to astrological signs. It is also customary for couples to be married on the half-hour or their wedding day rather than at the top of the hour. In this way, the couple begins their new lives together on an 'upswing', while the hands of the clock are moving up, rather than down. On the morning of his wedding day, the groom is symbolically dressed by his parents. The groom arrives at the house of his bride on the way to the wedding chapel. He brings gifts of cash, wrapped in red tissue, to give to his bride's friends, in exchange for 'letting her go'. In some families, the wedding couple serves tea to both sets of parents while kneeling in front of them. a symbolic gesture of asking for permission. The bride and groom then leave for the wedding site together. Usually,the wedding ceremony is usually attended only by the couples' immediate families. Just after the ceremony and before the wedding reception, the bride who honors tradition will serve tea to her in-laws in a formal ceremony. The couple will
usually go to a professional studio for wedding pictures before they proceed to their reception. The wedding reception, an elaborate standing only affair.
A welcoming speech is usually performed by an MC who is hired for the occasion. The speech is followed by a cake cutting ceremony. The traditional wedding cake is immense, with many layers. The layers symbolize a ladder that they couple will 'climb to success', so couples will cut the cake from the bottom and work their way up. The cutting of the cake is the only event of the reception. The bride and groom feed each other a piece of cake with arms entwined, trying not to destroy the bride's elaborate makeup. A piece is then cut for each of the parents and for the grandparents, who are fed by the bride and groom holding the cake together. Sometimes a wedding toast is given and guests are invited to greet the newlyweds and their parents. Musical entertainment, which ranges from a simple keyboard player to a symphony or orchestra, accompanies the receiving line It is customary for guests to shake hands again before leaving the reception. At more elaborate Chinese weddings, a sit-down reception may feature a 9 or 10 course meal as well as musical entertainment. Chinese brides often change outfits at least three times during the reception.
NO.2 Some other countries
In Asia,in addition to China,the wedding in South Korea is also ceremonious. Before a Korean bride may be married, she must take part in the traditional Introduction ceremony, where she is accepted into the groom's family. After the Korean newlyweds have exchanged their wedding vows, the groom, formally,
introduces his new wife to his parents. The groom's father may throw red dates at his daughter-in-law to bring her luck in fertility.
In addition to these, South Korea also have their own characteristics .A couple getting married in Korea might incorporate ducks or geese into their wedding ceremony. Both ducks and geese mate for life and represent faithfulness.At one time, a man who wanted to get married in Korea, would travel to his future bride's home on a white pony and present her family with a pair of geese.
NO.3 Typical delegate: America
Similarly, in the other side of the ocean----The United States Wedding Traditions are different from Asia.The United States has few wedding traditions that are totally unique to the U.S. Virtually all U.S. wedding traditions and customs have either been taken directly from a wide range of other countries and cultures – primarily European – or they have evolved from traditions in other nations.
There are a few things that all U.S. weddings have in common. To begin with, U.S. wedding ceremonies may be either religious or civil. Most brides prefer a large and rather elaborate ceremony if it is their first wedding .Marriages are not “arranged.” A typical U.S. wedding takes place between two people who have sought out a partner and have found someone whom they believe they can share their life with. In other words, in the United States marriages are based on LOVE. They are not arranged to strengthen family business or influence.
In addition,old wedding traditions may have held that a prospective groom had to ask the bride’s father for his blessing, but that tradition is seldom respected any longer, if it was ever respected to a wide degree in the U.S. While a young man and a young woman hope that both sets of parents will give their blessing to a union, and often a blessing will be asked more as a courtesy than for an actual blessing, such a blessing is not required or always sought.
Wedding planning can be elaborate and time-consuming and many brides today opt to have a professional wedding planner take care of the thousand-and-one details of the glorious day. A Traditional United States wedding is a fairly large and elaborate affair, especially when it is the first wedding for the bride. Traditionally the bride wears a while wedding dress and white wedding veil. Prior to the wedding itself, it is traditional for the Maid of Honor to throw a bridal shower as part of the bridal ceremonies. During the bridal shower the bride-to-be will receive small gifts, often of a humorous nature, often gifts for use on the honeymoon. While a religious setting, such as a church, synagogue or mosque is not mandatory, the more traditional U.S. weddings do take place in a religious setting. Family and friends are formally invited. Ushers seat guests, there are bride’s ma ids, a best man, flower girls, a ring bearer, music (often chosen by the bride and/or the groom) and many other amenities designed to make the day special and memorable. The traditional ceremony itself is often conducted by a religious leader known to the bride and/or the groom. The ceremony may include wedding vows written by the bride and the groom, in which
they speak of their love and their desire to make their partner safe, happy and secure, and to be faithful to their partner and their partner alone for the rest of their lives.
As the couple leave the church they are often showered with rice or wheat (symbols of fertility) and the couple is then taken to a home, restaurant or other facility where a wedding reception takes place. Speeches and toasts are given to the new couple, wishing them every happiness.
Mean while,gifts are an important part of the U.S. wedding tradition. Gifts are given to help the new couple establish a new home together; often gifts of cash are given. A couple may “register” at a specific store where their gift needs are tracked. This allows well-wishers to not only purchase gifts that are truly useful to the new couple, but to also be assured that no one else has purchased the same gift. Following the reception the couple traditionally goes on a honeymoon, during which their marriage is consummated. A honeymoon may last from several days to two or more weeks.
Couples who do not wish to go through the stress of an elaborate traditional wedding ceremony may choose to elope. An elopement involves much less work and much less preparation. The couple merely goes to a justice of the peace and is quietly married in a civil wedding ceremony. They may or may not include a small number or friends and/or family.
NO.4 Conclusion
After having a comparative study on wedding customs in different countries, we
may have a clear understand about different culture.it is the difference among cultures that make the different wedding custom. Therefore, when we have chance to attend these wedding, we shouldn’t be surprised at it; instead, we should respect for it and try to enjoy it.

中西方婚礼的差异(中文篇)
中西方婚礼的差异 随着中国经济的全球化发展和中国传统文化对世界的影响，中西方交流日益紧密。认识和了解各国文化和风俗习惯称为必然。婚姻是人类社会共有的制度之一。它是在公开的场合将丈夫和妻子之间的婚姻关系公开确定下来的仪式。因此几乎在每一种社会文化中,都有举办婚礼的习俗。婚礼是各个国家文化的重要组成部分。随着社会的不断进步和全球化的影响,婚礼文化在不断的发生变化。我国的婚礼文化也不断的受到西方婚礼文化的冲击。下面就其中西方婚礼的差异主要通过以下两个方面来概述。 一、表现中西方婚礼差异的几个方面： 1传统结婚仪式 中国的传统婚俗有“三书六礼”“三拜九叩”这些繁俗礼节。所谓“三书”，就是指聘书、礼书、迎亲书。而“六礼”是指纳采、问名、纳吉、纳征、请期、亲迎。而在这之间更有换庚谱、过文定、过大礼、安床等一系列的活动。而在这些活动中有着大量的禁忌和礼俗，比如新娘嫁妆中要有剪刀（蝴蝶双飞）、痰盂（子孙桶）、尺（良田万顷）、片糖（甜甜蜜蜜）、银包皮带（腰缠万贯）、花瓶（花开富贵）、铜盆及鞋（同偕到老）、龙凤被、床单及枕头一对、两双用红绳捆着的筷子及碗（有衣食）、七十二套衣服，用扁柏、莲子、龙眼及利是伴着（丰衣足食）等物，每样物品都有其不同的含义。同时，在婚礼进行时也有一定的顺序，按一般的情况，在整个婚礼过程中有：祭祖、出发、燃炮、等待新郎、讨喜、拜别、出门、礼车、掷扇、燃炮、摸橘子、牵新娘、喜宴、送客、闹洞房、三朝回门。有此可以见到我国文化的繁琐，但不要以为繁琐是我国婚礼的特有特征，其实，不同国家虽然有不同的婚俗，但从繁复的细节与用品的喻意，都可见对婚姻的尊重和期许无分国界。 在西方国家中，婚礼时有旧（Something Old）、新（Something New）、借（Something Borrowed）、蓝（Something Blue）等习俗。旧是指母亲传下来之婚纱，头饰或首饰，代表承受美好的一切；新是指朋友送的礼物如裙子，饰物，象征新的生活；借是指可向任何人借东西回来，据说从富裕亲友借来金或银放在鞋内，象征带来财运；蓝是指新娘的一些小饰物或花束用蓝色，意味着新娘的纯洁及贞洁。而在进行婚礼时，西方亦有大量的习俗。比如，在结婚时新娘总要带着一方手帕，西方人认为白手帕象征好运。在进行结婚晚宴时，要特别定制结婚蛋糕，根据历史记载，自罗马时代开始，婚礼结束时，人们会在新娘头上折断一条面包的材料----小麦象征生育能力，面包屑则代表着幸运。新人必须以糖霜，就形成今天的结婚蛋糕了。由此可见，西方的婚俗并不比中方简洁。 2、婚礼服饰 在进行婚礼不只是有仪式习俗需要遵守，在穿着方面也有讲究。中国传统婚礼进行时新郎和新娘穿着红色的礼服，象征的吉祥如意，预示在结婚后日子红红
中西方婚礼礼仪差异
中西方婚礼礼仪差异 婚礼，是一个温暖的词汇，它开启了情侣通往幸福婚姻的一扇门，执子之手与子偕老的佳话从此刻被书写。伴随婚礼的是各样多 彩的婚庆习俗，这是由于不同的文化背景造成的。下面是干货资源 社小编为大家整理的中西方婚礼礼仪差异，希望能够帮到大家哦! 作为人们一生最重要的日子之一，作为一对幸福恋人新的起点，中国人的婚礼是隆重热闹的。古代的时候，人们会在自己家里或是 酒楼里摆上酒席以宴请亲朋好友作为新人的见证。在当代中国，新 人一般会邀请亲朋好友去酒店或是宾馆。会在酒店宾馆里将排场弄 得很大，突显婚礼隆重、热闹的特点。 而在西方，人们的婚礼一般是在教堂或者是其他比较安静的地 方举行，井井有条，不像中国婚礼般热闹。西方的婚礼突出庄重和 圣洁，追求浪漫与实在的结合。 中国传统婚礼进行时新郎和新娘具着红色的礼服。中国人的婚 礼离不开红色，习惯以鲜艳的颜色来烘托气氛。因此，历朝女式婚 服颜色为大红色已成了定制，以示喜庆，衬托新人，预示未来生活 蒸蒸日上，幸福美满。新娘礼服为广袖对襟翟衣，头戴珠凤冠。值 得说明的是，翟衣上面的图案很有讲究。对襟本身就有完整的对称感，且在中国文化里本身就代表合称、合美的意思，而上面密布的

从中西方婚礼浅析中西方文化差异 摘要：婚礼作为个人成长过程中必不可少的一个环节，无论在中国还是在西方其他国家都显得尤为重要，随着数千年文化的传承，逐渐形成一种地区特有的文化习俗。虽然在每个不同的地区都有着不同的婚礼习俗，但在文化大一统的环境中，婚礼大同小异。这里我们就以中西方的婚礼中较为普遍的婚礼习俗来对比中西方文化的差异。 关键词：中西方婚礼文化差异 我们先来谈谈中国的婚礼，中国的婚礼按地区不同，也有不同的习俗，这里我们以传统婚礼为例。传统婚礼程序颇为复杂，但每一项都有其特殊的意义。 婚礼前的准备 聘礼：婚前男方要将娶亲的聘礼送到女方家，一般来说除了礼金还有包含一些寓意美好的事物，每个地方送的种类都不相同，这里就不一一讲述了。礼金则象征着娶方财厚，暗示着新娘嫁过去可以享福，让女方家放心。 回礼：收到聘礼女方要给回礼，一般情况下，包含礼金和一些日常用品。 安床：在结婚的前一天晚上，要由女方家出一个家庭和睦、父母双全、又育有儿子的男丁安装婚房里的婚床，再将寓意早生贵子的四品：核桃、莲子、红枣、花生铺在新床上面。 嫁妆：女方家会给新娘准备带去婆家的嫁妆，全部放在红色的箱子中交给新娘。开箱子的一般是新娘的弟弟。 上头：婚礼举行前一晚，要选择一个吉时拜神求平安幸福，而且男方也要在同一个时间在自家那边拜。 梳头：新娘梳妆打扮的时候，会请一位有福气的长辈来给新娘梳头，寓意跟安床的道理相似。吃汤圆：汤圆，寓意团圆美满，祝福新人可以圆满成婚。 婚礼当天的仪式 迎亲：婚礼当天的上午，男方要带着迎亲队伍来女方家接亲。接新娘绝对算得上是整个婚礼的一大高潮。首先要“入门”。新郎要想顺利接得新娘归，可不是进门带出那么容易，要通过姊妹群的考验，不光是智力要好，体力要好，若有要求还得唱情歌，说情话，但这些都不是最重要的，给红包才有可能打动新娘的姊妹们，这就是所谓的开门红包。而且新郎还要用花球去迎娶新娘(新娘不可自制花球)。 找红鞋：新郎进门后也不能马上带走新娘，还要在新娘的房间里找到准备好给新娘的红色婚鞋，帮新娘穿上后才可以带走新娘。 敬茶：两位新人要向双亲跪拜，奉茶直到长辈喝下才能站起来(以前的习俗是，新人在女方家时要站着奉茶，因为还未到男家拜见翁姑。不过现在讲究没有这么多了，两边都跪拜以示同样的尊重。 撑红伞、撒米：新娘新郎出门的时候，要由伴娘撑红伞陪同，而且要同时往路旁撒米，意思是不要让鸡啄到新娘。 绕吉祥路：新人上迎亲车后不能直达目的地，必须绕当地所有吉祥路名的路开一圈。 过门：即指新娘被接到男方家后，拜见翁姑及男家其他长辈的习俗。 婚礼：传统婚礼，一般是请司仪主持婚礼仪式。 敬客：婚礼仪式结束后，酒宴正式开始，待到上鱼的时候，新娘要换上传统的龙凤褂跟新郎一起向每桌客人敬茶，客人都要说些祝福的话。 入洞房：新郎新娘会带要好的朋友一起去新房参观，或者做些闹洞房的娱乐。 三朝回门：指在结婚后的第三天，新娘由丈夫陪同回娘家，要带上烧全猪和礼物等回去见女方父母，并且要祭祖。
【婚礼大全】中西方婚礼礼仪差异
中西方婚礼礼仪差异 中西方婚礼地点差异 作为人们一生最重要的日子之一，作为一对幸福恋人新的起点，中国人的婚礼是隆重热闹的。古代的时候，人们会在自己家里或是酒楼里摆上酒席以宴请亲朋好友作为新人的见证。在当代中国，新人一般会邀请亲朋好友去酒店或是宾馆。会在酒店宾馆里将排场弄得很大，突显婚礼隆重、热闹的特点。 而在西方，人们的婚礼一般是在教堂或者是其他比较安静的地方举行，井井有条，不像中国婚礼般热闹。西方的婚礼突出庄重和圣洁，追求浪漫与实在的结合。 中西方婚礼着装差异 中国传统婚礼进行时新郎和新娘具着红色的礼服。中国人的婚礼离不开红色，习惯以鲜艳的颜色来烘托气氛。因此，历朝女式婚服颜色为大红色已成了定制，以示喜庆，衬托新人，预示未来生活蒸蒸日上，幸福美满。新娘礼服为广袖对襟翟衣，头戴珠凤冠。值得说明的是，翟衣上面的图案很有讲究。对襟本身就有完整的对称感，且在中国文化里本身就代表合称、合美的意思，而上面密布的左右对称且成双成对的锦鸡图案，则象征着中国传统文化里夫妻生活的和美、和乐。一般新娘在婚礼当天高挽发髻，区别于未婚女子。而在婚礼当天，新娘子以红色头盖蒙面，象征着童贞、年轻、纯洁。结婚后由新郎亲手揭开。 而西方的新娘则穿白色的礼服。自罗马时代开始，白色象征欢庆。1820xx 年到1920xx年之间，白色亦是富贵的象征。到了本世纪初，白色所代表的纯洁意义更远超其他。西方认为白色与童贞有关。古罗马的新娘穿着白色的婚纱，蒙着鲜橙黄色的面纱，象征着激情的火焰。在西方的天主教传统里，白色代表
着快乐;其他一些地区，白色在他们的婚礼和葬礼里指示各种各样的通路典礼和意义在维多利亚女王时代，大多数的新娘只能穿传统的国家服装，只有上层阶级才能穿代表权力和身份的白色婚纱。一直到近代，贵族阶级的特权消失以后，白色的婚纱才成为普通新娘的礼服。 中西方文化婚俗差异 中国的传统婚俗有“三书六礼”“三拜九叩”这些繁俗礼节。所谓“三书”，就是指聘书、礼书、迎亲书。而“六礼”是指纳采、问名、纳吉、纳征、请期、亲迎。而在这之间更有换庚谱、过文定、过大礼、安床等一系列的活动。而在这些活动中有着大量的禁忌和礼俗，比如新娘嫁妆中要有剪刀、痰盂、尺、片糖、银包皮带、花瓶、铜盆及鞋、龙凤被、床单及枕头一对、两双用红绳捆着的筷子及碗、七十二套衣服，用扁柏、莲子、龙眼及利是伴着(丰衣足食)等物，每样物品都有其不同的含义。同时，在婚礼进行时也有一定的顺序，按一般的情况，在整个婚礼过程中有：祭祖、出发、燃炮、等待新郎、讨喜、拜别、出门、礼车、掷扇、燃炮、摸橘子、牵新娘、喜宴、送客、闹洞房、三朝回门。由此可以见到我国文化的繁琐，但不要以为繁琐是我国婚礼的特有特征，其实，不同国家虽然有不同的婚俗，但从繁复的细节与用品的喻意，都可见对婚姻的尊重和期许无分国界。 在西方国家中，婚礼时有旧、新、借、蓝等习俗。旧是指母亲传下来之婚纱，头饰或首饰，代表承受美好的一切;新是指朋友送的礼物如裙子，饰物，象征新的生活;借是指可向任何人借东西回来，据说从富裕亲友借来金或银放在鞋内，象征带来财运;蓝是指新娘的一些小饰物或花束用蓝色，意味着新娘的纯洁及贞洁。而在进行婚礼时，西方亦有大量的习俗。比如，在结婚时新娘总要带着一方手帕，西方人认为白手帕象征好运。根据民俗说法，农夫认为新娘在磨擦婚当天所流下的泪能使天降甘露，滋润家作物。后来，新娘在新婚汉天流

中西方餐饮、婚礼文化差异
中西方餐饮差异 一、两种不同的饮食观念(中餐重味，西餐重营养) 对比注重“味”的中国饮食，西方是一种理性饮食观念。不论食物的色、香、味、形如何，而营养一定要得到保证，讲究一天要摄取多少热量、维生素、蛋白质等等。即便口味千篇一律，也一定要吃下去——因为有营养。在宴席上，可以讲究餐具，讲究用料，讲究服务，讲究菜之原料的形、色方面的搭配；但不管怎么豪华高档，从洛杉矶到纽约，牛排都只有一种味道，无艺术可言。作为菜肴，鸡就是鸡，牛排就是牛排，纵然有搭配，那也是在盘中进行的，一盘“法式羊排”，一边放土豆泥，旁倚羊排，另一边配煮青豆，加几片番茄便成。色彩上对比鲜明，但在滋味上各种原料互不相干、调和，各是各的味，简单明了。 中国饮食之所以有其独特的魅力，关键就在于它的味。而美味的产生，在于调和，要使食物的本味，加热以后的熟味，加上配料和辅料的味以及调料的调和之味，交织融合协调在一起，使之互相补充，互助渗透，水乳交融，你中有我，我中有你。中国烹饪讲究的调和之美，是中国烹饪艺术的精要之处。菜点的形和色是外在的东西，而味却是内在的东西，重内在而不刻意修饰外表，重菜肴的味而不过分展露菜肴的形和色，这正是中国美性饮食观的最重要的表现。 二、中西饮食对象的差异（中国菜植物多，西餐肉多） 西方人认为菜肴是充饥的，所以专吃大块肉、整块鸡等“硬菜”。而中国的菜肴是“吃味”的，所以中国烹调在用料上也显出极大的随意性：许多西方人视为弃物的东西，在中国都是极好的原料，外国厨师无法处理的东西，一到中国厨师手里，就可以化腐朽为神奇。西方人在介绍自己国家的饮食特点时，觉得比中国更重视营养的合理搭配，有较为发达的食品工业，如罐头、快餐等，虽口味千篇一律，但节省时间，且营养良好，故他们国家的人身体普遍比中国人健壮：高个、长腿、宽大的肩、发达的肌肉；而中国人则显得身材瘦小、肩窄腿短、色黄质弱。有人根据中西方饮食对象的明显差异这一特点，把中国人称为植物性格，西方人称为动物性格。

中西婚礼差异英文版 Differences Between Chinese Marriage Custom and Western Marriage Custom Abstract There are many procedures in Chinese marriage custom. The book propriety and ceremony, which records earliest wedding ceremony, says that marriage includes six etiquettes, namely, proposing, asking the name, asking for fortune, sending betrothal presents to the girl's family, discussing the date of marriage and meeting the bride. In western marriage, there are four procedures. They are proposal, changing surnames, choosing the day and holding the wedding. As the different religions, cultural origins, marriage concepts and geographies, there are many differences existing in the two kinds of marriage customs. In Chinese marriage custom, the matchmaker functions almost all the time and youths have no right to choose and women are not on an equal footing with men. By contrast, in western marriage custom, the priest functions and the youths have legal right to choose whom they want to marry and men and women are equal. There also exist common things in the two sides. They have been maintained for thousands of years. But in recent years (especially after the founding of modern China), people have tended to discard some of the details and advocate simplified marriage procedures and wedding ceremonies.
