Difference betweenChinese and Western culturesUndoubtedlythereare 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 wellwhich 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’.N ot like west people, we have so many ways to deal with foods.It is said that there are more than fifty ways for a Chinesecook to choose every time he dealing withthe same kind offood.No wander to be a great cook in china you have to start training from young child. ComparedwithChinese, 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 countryahead 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 inChina can’t have the equal reputation compared to those westerns’.Anyway, Westerners usuallyfind the Chinese culture complex, and hard to understand, as the Chinese culture has its own values, background and belief system.。
The comparison between Chinese and Western festivals中西方节日文化的差异比较Abstract：the process of comparing the Chinese and Western festivals and studying Western histories and cultures can help people promote the communication and understanding of different cultures。
With the further development of society and inter—cultures, globalization will affect many aspects of life in all countries。
And western festivals are becoming more and more popular in China。
We should respect them and select the essence。
China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions。
In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. On the contrary，they turn to pursue enthusiastically a seemingly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue，the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions。

This philosophy is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and manifests itself in the painter's approach to composition, brushwork, and ink usage. Chinese paintings often depict landscapes, flowers, birds, and figures in a manner that emphasizes the interconnection between nature and humanity. The use of ink and brushwork allows for a range of expression from subtle to bold, with brushstrokes often serving as both form and texture. Theemphasis is on capturing the essence of the subject rather than rendering it in exact detail. This is evident in the traditional style of Chinese landscape painting, where mountains, rivers, and trees are rendered in a manner that suggests movement and energy while retaining a sense of tranquility and harmony.In contrast, Western painting has a more diverse and complex history, with styles ranging from the Renaissanceto Impressionism and beyond. Western painting tends to emphasize realism and the accurate rendering of form, light, and shadow. This is evident in the works of Renaissance masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who strived for anatomical accuracy and the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
