中西宗教差异英文作文英文：Religion plays an important role in people's lives around the world. However, the differences between Eastern and Western religions are significant. As someone who has been exposed to both, I can say that there are several key differences.Firstly, the concept of God is different in Eastern and Western religions. In Western religions, such as Christianity, God is seen as a personal deity who is all-knowing and all-powerful. In contrast, Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, do not believe in a personal God. Instead, they believe in a universal energy or force that governsthe universe.Secondly, the approach to prayer and meditation is different in Eastern and Western religions. In Western religions, prayer is often seen as a way to communicatewith God and ask for guidance or blessings. In contrast, meditation is more commonly practiced in Eastern religions as a way to quiet the mind and achieve inner peace.Thirdly, the role of the individual is different in Eastern and Western religions. In Western religions, individuals are often seen as separate from God and in need of salvation. In contrast, Eastern religions emphasize the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of achieving enlightenment or liberation from suffering.In terms of examples, one can look at the differences between Christmas and the Chinese New Year. Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, while the Chinese New Year is a celebration of the lunar new year and is rooted in Chinese traditions and beliefs. Another example is the difference between the Western concept of heaven and the Eastern concept of reincarnation.中文：宗教在全世界的人们生活中扮演着重要的角色。
中西方宗教文化差异Cultural Differences between Eastern and Western ReligionsReligion plays a significant role in shaping the culture of a society. It influences the way people think, behave, and perceive the world around them. The Eastern and Western hemispheres have distinct cultural differences, and so do their religious beliefs and practices. This essay aims to highlight the major disparities between Eastern and Western religions, focusing on key aspects such as belief systems, rituals, and values.One of the fundamental differences between Eastern and Western religions lies in their belief systems. Eastern religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, are often characterized by a belief in reincarnation and karma. Followers believe in the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth, with the ultimate goal of attaining enlightenment and liberation from this cycle. In contrast, Western religions, like Christianity and Islam, focus on the belief in a single life on earth, with the promise of an afterlife, either in heaven or hell, based on individual actions and faith.In conclusion, the cultural differences between Eastern and Western religions are significant and permeate various aspects of society. The disparities in belief systems, rituals, values, and the role of religious authorities contribute to thedistinctiveness of each religious tradition. Understanding these differences is crucial in promoting intercultural dialogue, fostering mutual respect, and appreciating the diversity of religious beliefs and practices in our globalized world.。
the cultural difference between china and the west As we all know,culture influenced by country's politics, economy,history and so on vary from country to country. In my views,particularly,it is very obvious that culture between china and the west has many differences.To begin with ,some words' meaning and use are different. For example, in china, the word dag is usually related to bad things, such as 狼心狗肺，狗眼看人低. It is always used to describe a person who is cunning with derogatory sense. On the contrary, in the west,the word dag means friendly and loyalty . If somebody says:"you are a lucky dag ." you are not surprise at it. Because he or she admires at your fortune.Secondly, there are some differences in concept between china and the west. The cultural difference often reflects the difference of sense. In china people lay stress on the importance of community,but in the west ,they emphasize the importance on individual. In china maybe everyone knows modesty helps one to go forward. This is not applied for western people. People in the west are full of confidence. They always pay attention to their advantages but not disadvantages. So when they hunt for jobs. They must not say they are not good at the job.,but they will try their best to make progress and achieve the goal. They must say if you hire them, they will take full use of their advantages to work and make the biggest profit for your company.Thirdly, our custom is different from the west. In this point i want to say the table manner. China is called the state of ceremonies. So in order to express our respect for the elder. We can eat food after all the elder sit down at dinner. As children we can not eat too fast and can not speak when we are eating. Sometimes we may say we can not eat any more, i am full up. In fact we doesn't eat and drink our fill. There are not these rules in the west. They can talk free eat free. They don't feel ill at ease.Maybe, there have cultural difference in other aspects between china and the west. The most important thing i want to say is that we should have the right consciousness and understanding to accept these cultural differences. we should open our eyes to see the world . We should absorb the excellent western culture to promote our cultural development. At the same time we should develop and advocate our traditional culture.Multicultural societyIn recent years with the development of technology and economy no one in china has failed to notice the phenomenon that all kinds of culture has appeared in society so called multicultural society. It is true there are some helpful culture for our country in some aspects to some degree. Facing the global situation, we should absorb excellent culture to expand our horizon and promote our development. However such as the impact of the Japanese culture is a shock to the sense of a community. Furthermore , there is a tendency nowadays that the youngs pursue the foreign culture and forget out traditional culture. So the problem of how can we develop our traditional culture in multicultural society has aroused wide concern among the public. To my way of thinking we should combine the strength of citizens and government.First and foremost, a public education campaign should be launched to inform the public of the importance of developing traditional culture in multicultural society. Teachers should teach students remember our traditional culture in class. Parents should guide their children to enjoy our traditional culture. Students may build the sense of honor of our traditional culture through education.Secondly , government has made and implemented relevant laws and regulations to develop our culture. Such as the spring festival is celebrateas a national day . I consider it as a good way to recall our culture. It is an effective way for us to arouse citizens' consciousness that our traditional culture is very important for us in multicultural society.Anyone of us has good reason to take actions to protect and develop traditional culture . With these measures taken it is reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future. It is deeply--rooted in my mind that we not only study other country's culture well but also can develop our own culture.Marriage and relationship between man and woman Recently , there is a growing tendency nowadays that people in mounting numbers divorce. It has become a society problem and aroused the wide concern among public. So it becomes a heated discussion that how to marriage and relationship between man and woman. In my perspective, we can solve this problem according on these suggestions as i will say.At the first, marriage should be built on the base of trust . I think we are peculiar friends. For one thing, we have the common understanding about life work and so on . So we can communicate with each other well. For another thing we are familiar with each other. So we know each other habit demerits and so forth. Therefore we should learn how to forgive each other fault and appreciate each other virtue and trust each other without any reasons .Secondly, marriage should be consolidated with love. That is to say we should learn to care for the other side. They are peculiar relative because we will live with each other in a long time from our marriage to our death. Our destiny contact with each other closely. So if one side is upset or disappointed at something,another side should say some warm words to encourage he or she and give he or she confidence to face and solve difficulties . I believe if we deal with relationship like this , ourmarriage and relationship must be fixed. Our marriage life must be full of happiness and enjoyment.As far as i am concerned ,husband and wife all play important roles in marriage. An internal and happy marriage needs to make efforts in two sides. I strongly believe that a happy and harmonious marriage and lasting relationship will be built with trust and love.。

That is, in the world's population, more than 80% of the people are religious believers. While China In contrast, more than 90% are not religious believers. How formed huge gap? In this regard, Chinese and foreign scholars of common concern. Early in 1922 published "China's problems," a book, Russell said: "China is simply no religion, not just the upper classes so, but all the people alike."In religious terms, why is there such a big difference between China and western? Originally, beyond this life for the pursuit of human born with the desire to do Chinese people it is a special case?This paper tries to talk about the reasons why Chinese people is indifferent to religions concepts from Chinese and Western cultures and the view of religions.I.The differences on thinking structureIn the initial stage of the human mind, chaos, intuitive way of thinking and perception of integrity, is a common feature of human thinking. However, the ancient Greek as the representative of the West, "the development of a limited overall concept is the concept of material and form an entity separate from, and attribute analysis method", which "led to the traditional ideological origins of modern science." "And the ancient Chinese developed a holistic view of all things infinitely continuous communication, Dahua popular consciousness or an organic whole, the subject is more important than the specific analysis and understanding capabilities." Thus lanes of Western thinking, leading to subsequent differences in ways of thinking, customs and mental performance methods, etc. area. For example, Chinese people are accustomed to intuitive, symbolic way of thinking, so it tends to be more often the expression mystery from concrete, tended to by a realistic impressionistic; and Westerners accustomed to logical thinking, then good speculative, reanalysis and therefore earlier also quickly out of the body and spirit with that is, I was mixed primitive stage. Here present no better or worse than the other, and right or wrong, just thinking features different. This is the essence and roots of Western cultures differences reason.II.The differences on the view of valuesFrom the point of view of values, West and Chinese are very different. China is one of theworld's four ancient civilizations nation who is a long-term agricultural patriarchal society with the family as the basic unit of social reproduction and a relatively closed environment of self-sufficient economy gradually formed a kinship as a link to family-based. Loyalty and filial piety were the core values, although different periods show different content and features, such as moral values of Confucianism, Taoism naturalistic values, universal love utilitarian values Mohist, Legalists power utilitarian values. Chinese traditional morality is stressed on that in society, loyalty to serve the country, in family to be nice to your parents .In medieval Europe, it ruled theology, God is the source of the highest values, and Christian values is the whole social morality. "Bible" to encourage people to despise this life, will give their all to God, listen to the call of God are the eternal pursuit of transcendent values. The faithful concentrate wait on God, rather than concentrate wait Bong parents, wife not to be paramount.After the Renaissance, humanism Europeans replaced the feudal spirit of humanism, secular values also change the rights of man from God the privilege against medieval asceticism and the afterlife concept, advocated "liberty, equality, fraternity" as the basic values, the formation of individualism and egoism reasonable values, which further results in different values and Western religion.III.The differences on the view of the man of GodThere is a big difference on view from the man of God,. God's relationship with people is no religion must answer basic questions. In god (God) worship the premise of the Christian God who advocate separation.Western religious outlook understood that God is only a supreme god, is "now exists, has always existed, the future will exist ...... all in non-human flesh," God is a trinity of personality, and often work miracles in days and extraordinary events Inspiration their personality characteristics and indirect "absolutely his." Christian with the "love of God" and "love your neighbor as yourself" the two commandments between man and God, who with St. integration, the integration of individual experience eternal metaphysical value and a physical, having indirect Personality of metaphysical realism integration of individual experience and metaphysical have personality characteristics, in order to stimulate religious feelings of believers, the ultimate concern of the esoteric and the afterlife fantasy believers.China is different with western that stands for "unity of God." In ancient Chinese ancestor worship and worship God always naturally fit together. It is generally not purely separate ceremonies to worship heaven, heaven is often worship, the boundaries between God and man is very vague. In the private sector, some of the virtuous king, Fumiomi loyal, brave generals, and even some celebrities, paladin, etc., are revered as saints, to be a grand festival, because the people enshrined rise God or with God as protection.IV. The differences on the status and role in societyFrom religious status and role in society's point of view, in the West it is quite different. Religion plays an important role in Western societies, in Western Christian society, not just the God of the universe and human creators, nurturers, but also makers and arbiter of political and ethical order of the human world. Political and moral realm, for example, first, the primary source of the West to the "Bible" for the code of ethics, Christians generally believe that these guidelines from God.Secondly, the primary sources in the West, "the Bible" is also its political thought. Unlike other social ideology, religion is both conceptual and ideological superstructure, but also institutional superstructure; both inclusive art form, content and ethical philosophy, and set truth, goodness and beauty in one; either as moral ideals to influence society, but also as an organizational system to govern the faithful. Thus, the impact is even more profound, lasting, comprehensive and effective.China and the West, in the long term as a link to the blood of patriarchal society, their traditional religious faith and belief in ancestor worship core, "Heaven" as the model of the universe, the relationship between religion and politics should be subordinated to the natural economy highly dispersible and highly centralized absolute monarchy and combining complementary basic structure of society needs.In China, the political domination of religion, monarchy is greater than the theocracy, monarchy self-proclaimed emperor, claiming "monarchical Tianshou" by Destiny and the exercise of power, enjoys supreme authority, religion is only attached to the imperial power, under the imperial power construction and use, in order to spread and development.ConclusionThere are many differences between Chinese and western on the view to religions.We know the reasons and respect them .There is no right or wrong concepts to God, only differences. Therefore ,world become diversified.Bibliography:[1] 陈建新. 论中西方宗教的本质差异[J] . 阿贝师范高等专科学校. 2002[2] 刘承华. 中西宗教精神的不同[J]. 合肥教育学院学报. 2002[3] Dawson. Christopher.
