The Food Culture Difference Between China and West
Studying food cultural differences, we can find out a joint
enhancing the communication between China and the west
through a comprehensive study of the subject. It may be a great
help to the communication of the Chinese and western cultures.
Diet is actually the contents of our daily lives. It has special
status in the Chinese culture, and it also has a great distinction
between China and the west. As one of the world ancient nations,
China’s diet has a history almost as long as that of Chinese
civilization. But in western countries, ancient thinkers devoted
less attention to the food problem than the Chinese philosophers
differences in concepts, targets, patterns, attribution and
nature had reflected the different dietary culture in the different
state characteristic.
Differences in Concepts
Chinese diet is a sense of beauty diet and pays attention
to the flavor, taste regardless of the nutrition .
Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the “mood” that is
difficult for one to say anything. Even using the
shape and implement people often said to make the
realm is still difficult to crown all. Chinese
cooking method is to reconcile, and the ultimate goal is to
reconcile out of a beautiful taste.
Western diet is a rational concept, regardless of the color of
food, incense, flavor and shape, but nutrition must be
celebration, it stresses tableware, stresses the staple, stresses the
servings, and stresses the color and shape mix of raw materials.
But no matter how luxurious the grade is; from Los Angeles to
New York, only one taste of steak, it is no art to speak of. As
dishes, things will not be mixed up. The chicken is chicken;
steak is steak, even in groups, which are also conducted in a
shallow dish. Color is on clear, but the tastes of the various
materials are separated, not to reconcile, and the entire flavor is
also simple and clear.
Differences in targets
In China ,all diet cannot be done without vegetables. The
word
with the plants . In fact, the Chinese dishes, vegetable dish is
usual food. Meat dish entered the normal diet only on holidays
or higher living standards, so since ancient times, and there was
a saying of vegetablesChinese people consider the
vegetables as the main dish; it has inextricably linked with the
advocacy of Buddhists. The Chinese character is called the plant
character.
Westerners do not seem to have such a good habit. They
uphold a cultural origin of nomadic, seafaring nation. Living
mainly by fishing and hunting, collection and planting are just
the complement. There are more meat dishes in their lives.
Feeding, clothing, and using are taken from the animals, and
even Western medicine is derived from animals. When the
westerners introduce the diet characteristics of their countries,
they always feel that their diet is more reasonable on the mix of
nutrition than China.
The Western character is called animal character.
Differences in Dietary Patterns
In China, a celebration, no matter what, there will be only
one form, as sitting together, sharing one feast. Banquet uses
round table, which has created a unity of form, which is courtesy,
comity atmosphere. Cates are in the center of the table. It is the
objects for people to appreciate and taste, and it is also an
intermediate of communication. People toast each other and
share the vegetables, which reflect the mutual respect between
people in the face of the good things, also show the virtues of
gh from the health point of view, this approach
has obvious deficiencies.
