Chinese culture is different from other countries

Chinese culture is different from other countries

With China entered the WTO and will hold the Olympic games.the relationship between China and Western in politics,economy,culture will become more and more important. But chinese and western culture have many difference.

For example ,“王先生”This is in Chinese.But in English said ,he is Mr wang.They have a very big difference.In western country,you can’t ask them how old they are.They will think you are unpolite,and you can’t ask them what they are doing .They can’t answer your question.Th ey only think the problem that the police then can ask.But they will answer us.It is a secret.

Another difference,our colour.In my opinion, in China the red stands for happiness,celebrate. Some times,the red useds for memorial some dates,so have the red marking on the calendar.In other countries,the red stands for vigour.“to see red”means infuriate.“waving a red flag”means make somebody angrily.

The blue in different country have many different meaning.In English and America,the blue means sentimental and melancholy.For example,in a bule mood and having the blues.A blue fit means very angry.In China, the blue means

peaceful,quietly,and pretty.The last colour___green,in western country,green always and envy contact together, but in China have no jealous of meaning, it is think to have the source of vitality, vigorous. Green is a bital colour!

Not only is the different from the custom and color , but also have the differentia in rite. When people meet acquaintances or friends, people usually greet each other

. The purpose of greeting is to establish or maintain social contact. So formulaic expressions are often used, but such formulaic expressions often causes conflict because of the great cultural differences between Chinese and native English Speakers.In English, people often employ the following expressions to greet each other “Good

morning/evening/afternoon. “Fine day, isn’t it? ”How is everything going?” Have you eaten yet?” What are you going to do?” Where have you been?” Westerners tre at them as real question. While in Chinese, we always

say “你吃了吗？”“你上哪里去？”“你干什么去？”to show our consideration. Parting may be divided into two steps. Before the final prating, there is usual a leave-taking.

Be a student, we should learn English well and understand the difference of medium western culture.Do not make a joke.

Nowadays the world, no matter what countries and nationses can't get away from own traditional culture. let us support various culture together, promote the thing square culture of progress, mutual study, I believe, the mankind's cultural process will walk better.
