There are several varieties of tea. In some ways, Chinese tea represents Chinese culture.Just like tea in China, coffee also holds an important position in western countries. The word "coffee" comes from the Greek "Kaweh", meaning "strength and passion." Coffee stands for the western culture and the characteristics of the western people.As the representatives of the east and the west, tea and coffee are not only two kinds of popular drinks, but also symbols of two different cultures. As a Chinese common saying goes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea are the basic and indispensable necessities in the daily life of Chinese people. There is a counterpart saying in the western people’s mouth that if I’m not in the coffee house, then I will be on the way to the coffee house. This reflects the roles of tea and coffee in the people’s life in China and America respectively.In the past few years, Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture have developed rapidly. Chinese tea and American coffee play a increasingly important role in Chinese and American people’s life. Tea houses and coffee houses have become a good place to make friends with strangers, promote feelings with family members and friends and do business transactions. As the intercultural communication deepens and tea culture and coffee culture grow, more and more Chinese people develop a passion for coffee and Americans begin to drink tea.However, there are some similarities and differences between Chinese tea and American coffee culture. Therefore, a study is necessarily carried out to seek for a feasible way for intercultural communication between Chinese and American people.The growing environment of coffee and tea is very different. Coffee grows in hot Africa, South America, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica and other places. These places have tropical or subtropical climate, which is good for coffee growing. Tea grows in mild and humid climate, such as China's Hangzhou and other places. This hot and mild climate is representative of the main differences between Chinese and American cultures.This thesis intends to facilitate the intercultural communication between Chinese and American people by probing into the Chinese tea culture andAmerican coffee culture, especially their similarities and differences. The paper firstly gives some basic information to Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture and then focuses on the similarities and differences between Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture as well as the factors which determine their differences. Finally, a conclusion is given to the whole thesis.1.1 Chinese Tea Culture1.1.1 Brief Introduction of Chinese T ea CultureChinese tea culture is an important component of Chinese traditional culture. The tea has a long record and it is hard to pinpoint exactly when tea begins in Chinese history. There is evidence to suggest that the drinking habits elsewhere in the world originate directly or indirectly from China. According to the definition in The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Language, culture refers to the material and spiritual wealth created in the practice process of human social history. Thus, tea culture refers to the material wealth and the spiritual wealth related to tea. In a narrow sense, tea culture only refers to the spiritual wealth.Chinese tea culture mainly consists of the methods of preparing tea, the equipment for making tea and the occasions when tea is drunk in China. Chinese tea has both the embodiment of Chinese spiritual civilization and the extension of the ideological form. Consequently, it contributes to enriching the cultural wealth and aesthetic appreciations of Chinese people.Tea has an extensive and profound influence on the development of Chinese culture. Tea culture raises the standards of cultural atmosphere. With the development of globalization, Chinese tea culture will have more impacts on other parts of the world in the future.1.1.2 History of Chinese Tea CultureThe story of tea begins in China in this way. In 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nong was sitting under a tree while the servants were boiling drinking water. Suddenly, some leaves fell into the boiling water. Shen Nong, a herbalist, decided on trying the infusion of water and leaves that is created accidentally by his servants. The drink mixing water and leaves is called tea. Since Shen Nong found tea, tea has remained in China for a long time. As a kind of popular drink, tea was accepted and loved by millions of families.China is the homeland of tea. It is believed that tea-shrubs appeared in China as early as five to six years ago and the cultivation of tea plants has a history of two thousand years. Chinese tea, as well as Chinese silk and porcelain, is an outstanding contribution to the world’s material and spiritual civilization.Since the foundation of Chinese People Republic in 1949, the annual production of tea has increased rapidly from 7500 tons to over 60 million tons. In 1982, the first unity “home of tawny man”was set up with the purpose of developing Chinese tea culture. And then in 1998, Chinese international peace tea culture communication house was launched. With the development of tea culture, more and more cities began to hold “the festival of tea”like Yunnan’s Pu-erh tea festival and Fujian Wuyi tea festival.1.2 American Coffee Culture1.2.1 Brief Introduction of American Coffee CultureCoffee tea culture refers to the diffusion and adoption of coffee as a widely consumed stimulant by a culture. Some social atmospheres or social behaviors rely heavily on coffee. In the United States, September 29th is celebrated as “National Coffee Day”, from which we can see the importance of coffee in people’s daily life.1.2.2 History of American Coffee CultureThe history of coffee dates back to the 9th century. Firstly, found in Ethiopia, coffee beans were taken to the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Y e man, Egypt, Persia, Turkey and North Africa in the 15th century. Muslin merchants brought the beans to the port city of V enice and then coffee spread across Europe and eventually arrived in America.The origin of coffee involves varied legends, two of which are widely accepted, that is, the shepherd’s story and Arab monks story.According to the story, a shepherd in Ethiopia named Kaldi noticed one day that the sheep that had eaten the red cherries from a kind of plant suddenly became hyperactive, jumping on the mountain. The shepherd tried some of them and soon became overactive like his herbs. Afterwards, he gave them to the monks to eat and they felt refreshing after eating. Finally, the fruit is used as a refreshing medicine. The fruit is today’s coffee.According to Arab monks story, the snow Chloe marr was banished for a crime for the reason that he had fallen in love with the king’s daughter. Due to desperate starvation, he plucked the fruit from an unknown plant, cooked them and ate. After eating, he became comfortable and refreshed. Therefore, he took a lot of the marvelous fruits with himself. On the way, when he met sick people, he would give them the marvelous fruits. Thanks to his kindness, the king forgave him and let him returned home. The cure medicine was called coffee.Tea and coffee, as two popular drinks in the east and the west, play an important role in people’s daily life. With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living conditions, China and America have formed tea culture and coffee culture with their own characteristics.Chapter Two Similarities of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureAlthough tea and coffee have different origins and history, they share some similarities. On the one hand, they both have a long history. With the globalization of politics, economy and culture, tea appears in the Western countries and coffee also appears in China.On the other hand, tea and coffee have some common functions socially and economically.2.1 Cultures with a Long HistoryBoth tea and coffee have a long history and legendary past. Chinese tea has a long history about five thousand years and coffee dates back to one thousand years. They have become the representatives of the east and the west respectively.As tea and coffee spread widely, numerous tea houses and coffee houses emerge continuously. Just as coffee has become an important part of people’s daily life in the west, tea becomes a part of people’s daily life in China.2.2 Common Social FunctionsTea and coffee are more than daily drinks. Even though they grow in different places, they share common social functions. Their social function is unique and enormous. Nowadays, more and more like relaxing themselves with family members and friends over a cup of coffee or tea.With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living, more and more people go to tea houses or coffee houses for a cup of tea or coffee instead of at home to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.In China, when a guest or a visitor arrives home, the host usually make a cup tea for him to show friendliness and respect. People are always very modest. Even though they offer the guest the best tea at home, they will say they have no good tea to treat the guests. Then they will chat with each other as they drink tea. Drinking tea can cultivate people’s morality, edify appeal and achieve spiritual enjoyment.There are some special cases where tea is provided and consumed. For example, in order to show respect to the elders, the younger generation will offer a cup of tea. Family members sometimes get together in a tea house for a family reunion or meeting. What’s more, children’s serving tea to their parents is regarded as a sign of regret, submission and apology. In addition, in Chinese traditional marriage ceremony,the bride and groom kneel in front of their parents and serve tea to them to show their gratitude and respect.Just like tea, coffee also plays an important role in the society. Coffee houses serve as centers for social interaction and places in which people can chat, relax, exchange ideas and enhance mutual understanding. It concentrates on the relaxation of life and the reception of guests as well. Living in such a fast-developing world, people sometimes desire to find a relaxing environment to enjoy delicious food and refresh themselves. Drinking coffee is not a bad choice. Taking a sip of coffee and recalling the past is the shadow of life.In a word, both tea and coffee has the function of alleviating the mental fatigue and refreshing body and mind. Also, tea and coffee play a significant role in promoting friendship, maintaining personal relationship, activating inspiration and relaxing mind.2.3 Common Economic FunctionsIn the past several decades, Chinese tea industry has developed rapidly. The tea export quantity amount repeatedly broke the record in the past consecutive years. The price of tea rises by 6.66% year by year. Tea is the widely consumed beverage, which can quench their thirst, build character and cure diseases. Tea carries forward the traditional virtues of cultural and artistic shows, self-cultivation and promotes national unity, economic performance and social progress and development of trade. Traditional virtues are accumulated over thousands of years by the ancient people of the good moral respected, embodying national spirit and social habits. Traditional tea culture mainly manifests selfless dedication, perseverance, humility courtesy, diligence and thrift. A prosperous development of the tea industry is going on. China is the only one of the largest tea countries that produces all kinds of tea in the world. The economic value of tea lies in its great contribution to the overall economic development of China.Coffee is also one of the main economic goods in the world trade. Just behind petroleum, coffee is the second most traded product in the world and 7million metric tons of coffee has been produced annually since 2010. According to the statistics, an American worker spends about 20 dollars on coffee every week. In spite of the slow economic growth of the USA, the demand for coffee is still on the increase and coffee still holds a stable and powerful position in the consumption.Chinese tea and American coffee have created GDP to China and Americarespectively. With the development of globalization, the improvement of living conditions and the change of life style, the business of tea and coffee will play increasingly powerful role in boosting the economy.Chapter Three Differences of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureDespite the fact that there exist some similarities between Chinese tea and American coffee, they differ dramatically from each other in terms of origin, efficacy and drinking art.3.1 Origin and DevelopmentCultivated in different places, tea and coffee have distinctive origins and developments.Culture is a delicate thing, at first glance nothing be refined, but penetration in people's daily lives, such as tea, such as coffee.The appearance of tea is said to begin in ancient China more than 5,000 years ago. Shen Nong, an emperor discovered tea leaves and invented the drinking of tea. As the story goes, Shen Nong stopped to have a rest on a visit to remote place and his servants were boiling water to sever the emperor when the leaves from the tree fell into the pot, making a brown drink. Out of curiosity, the emperor tried to sip it and unexpectedly found it refreshing. Later, it became the national wide drink of China, called tea.As the Chinese tea spreads widely, it was firstly introduced to the Arabian and then in the early seventeenth century, it was exported to Europe, from which it spread to the whole world rapidly. Chinese tea, just like Chinese silk and china, has become the symbol of China.The origin of coffee is also intriguing and interesting. According to the story of a shepherd, he observed that his sheep became overactive after eating the red cherries of a certain plant and then he tried some by himself and became hyperactive like his herb. Since then, coffee has been in existence in people’s daily life. Another legend goes that an Arabian was banished to the desert and he and his followers boiled and ate the fruit from the unknown plant due to starvation. The unknown fruit saved them. The fruit is today’s coffee.Coffee beans was first discovered in Ethiopia as a kind of food rather than a drink. Later it was brought to the Middle East and was spread to Egypt, Turkey, Y emen, Persia and North Africa in the 15th century. And then coffee was much popularized by the British India Trade Company in England, from which time coffee has spread across Europe and America.Chinese tea and American coffee have different origins and developing roads andeventually form different cultures and customs.3.2 EfficacyAs popular beverages, Chinese tea and American coffee not only can relax people but also they have unique efficacy.People believe that tea is a healthy drink and a drink of the soul. As to efficacy, tea works effectively against cancer according to scientific studies. It is scientifically confirmed that tea contains a great deal of biochemical ingredients which are beneficial to people’s health. Not only can tea cultivate taste and refresh the spirit., but also cure some common diseases, such as cancer. Additionally, tea helps to fight against harmful bacteria and virus, promote blood circulation and improve the function of the digestive system. It is obvious that tea have many pharmacological effects that are irreplaceable by other drinks.As for coffee, it is found out that coffee can effectively prevent the recurrence of gout. Containing vitamin B, coffee is good for the skin. And it can hold people in high spirit and remove fatigue effectively. However, drinking too much coffee will make people overexcited and cause anxiety and sleep disorder.Tea and coffee enrich people’s life and contribute to their body. Generally speaking, it is better to drink tea than drink coffee because coffee contains too much caffeine, which will on the one hand help people keep a clear head and refresh them and on the other hand stimulate people’s nerves and make them sleepless, causing health risk.3.3 Drinking ArtDrinking tea and coffee is more than to quench thirst. It is also a kind of art, a kind of spirit enjoyment. The drinking art of tea and coffee includes the methods of preparing, the equipment used to boil them and the way to drink.The drinking art of tea is complicated and particular. It is a complex procedure from the growth of tea to the time tea is enjoyed by people. The following four elements in regard to tea art should be paid much attention to.(1)The art of tea leaves: The quality of tea is largely determined by the quality of the prepared tea leaves. Chinese people thought of many good ways to preserve tea leaves so as to keep the original flavor of tea.(2)The art of tea sets: The tool of making tea and the utensil of drinking tea are called tea sets. Tea sets came into being in the slave society and began to change fromMing Dynasty. The shape, color and style of tea sets have experienced a series of changes. The changes in the styles and patterns of tea sets show the development of tea culture(3)The art of water: Water is the foremost element for making good tea. Fresh and clear water is the primary choice. The temperature of water is also very crucial. The optimal temperature of water should be controlled between 80。

中西方茶文化和咖啡文化对比论文中西茶文化与咖啡文化的比较[摘要]人类历史的发展已进入全球化时代,跨文化交际日益频繁,不同文化背景的人们间或多或少存在这样或那样的障碍。

因此,了解中西方文化差异很有必要。

文章着重把中国茶文化和西方咖啡文化进行比较,解释形成不同文化的原因。

[关键词]茶;咖啡;文化;跨文化交际咖啡在西方人的生活中有着不可取代的地位。

而在中国,人们常说:“开门七件事,柴米油盐酱醋茶”。

中国人上至帝王将相,下至平民百姓,无不以茶为好。

茶在人们的生活中根深蒂固,它不仅是一种饮料,更承载着中华文化。

咖啡与茶代表着中西方两种不同的文化。

1茶文化之中庸与咖啡文化之理性中国位于欧亚大陆的东方,面向大海,地域广阔,物产丰饶。

中国文化生长于一个既相对封闭又十分广阔的地理空间,文化传统受半封闭的、农业型自给自足的小农经济即“家国一体”的宗法社会所决定。

千百年来,中国社会占支配地位的意识形态,首当其冲是以小农经济为背景的传统儒家思想文化,其特点是“中庸”“守常”“平衡”“对称”。

儒家把“中庸”思想引入中国茶文化。

茶生于山林中,承甘露滋润,其味苦中带甘,饮之可令人心灵澄明,心境平和,头脑清醒,茶的这些特性与儒家所提倡的中庸之道相符。

通过饮茶可以自省,也可以养廉,赋予茶以清廉、高洁的品性。

儒家学说认为通过饮茶可以沟通思想,增进彼此的友情,协调人际关系,促进和谐。

在儒家眼里和是中,和是度,和是宜,和是当,和是一切恰到好处,无过亦无不及。

而茶文化中从采茶、制茶、煮茶、点茶、泡茶、品饮等一整套的茶事活动中无一不是渗透着和的思想。

在泡茶时,“酸甜苦涩调太和,掌握迟速量适中”;待客时“奉茶为礼尊长者,备茶浓意表浓情”;饮茶时“饮罢佳茗方知深,赞叹此乃草中英”;品茶的环境与心境为“普事故雅去虚华,宁静致远隐沉毅”。

这些都体现了儒家中庸、明论、谦和以及俭德。

西方文化的萌生、发展于相对开放的地理环境,没有具备像中国那样的可以左右整个文化动向的典型的农业区域。

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比茶与咖啡是当今社会中普遍流行的饮料,在人们的生产生活中占有重要地位。

而从茶与咖啡的文化角度来看,其二者各自代表着不同的文化。

茶是中国传统文化的象征,从古至今流传而来,有着深厚的历史底蕴。

咖啡文化则是西方国家的典型象征,由于历史背景、生长环境等因素的不同,导致二者有很大的差异性。

因此,从这个层面来讲,茶和咖啡,有着不同的内涵、历史,那么这个时候就引发了一个问题,茶文化与咖啡文化到底有着怎样的不同。

本文对此进行详细叙述。

一、茶的历史起源及茶文化概述1. 茶的历史起源人类的饮茶史传说从上古神农尝百草之后就开始了,那个时候是作为药用。

相传彭祖得饮茶养生之道,活了800多岁。

后其携二子彭武、彭夷定居于闽北山中,武夷山因此而得名。

后来周朝统治者借鉴商纣灭亡的原因,颁布禁酒令,倡议群臣百姓以茶代酒。

闽北某山被时闽王划为茶山以备上贡茶叶之用。

有历史记载的是西汉时一个道人吴理真在四川蒙顶山种植茶叶,此后茶叶种植才作为经济作物推广开来。

而中国并没有像日本那样固定下来形式化的茶道,甚至说,中国没有“茶道”这个概念。

中国的“道”有两种来源,一是通过反复尝试,熟能生巧,举一反三,积累总结“道”。

而后再以此道调养身心,调适行为。

再从修行中总结心得体会,进一步完善其“道”。

另一种是通过思想感悟而得“道”,而后以行动来实践、验证此道。

对于日本茶道“和、敬、清、寂”的核心精神,国人会感叹中国茶不成道,更无茶道精神。

其实日本的“茶道”与中国完全不同。

日本是固定下来的泡茶形式和泡茶内涵,而中国文化中,“道”存于万物,不拘泥于时间场合等,二者不能等量齐观。

2. 茶文化的概述“茶文化”泛指与茶相关的文化,包括茶产业、饮茶、品茗、器用、茶事等,其层面除了人文历史哲学,甚至涵盖政治、经济等。

以茶文化和政治的关系来说,自中唐以来,历代茶政与饮茶方式都有相关记载与论述。

就经济的层面来说,唐代时期社会安定,经济发达,因茶风鼎盛,茶的大量生产,促使贸易消费发展迅速。

茶文化与咖啡文化

茶文化与咖啡文化

茶文化与咖啡文化茶是世界的三大无酒精饮料(茶叶、咖啡和可可)之一,茶文化与咖啡文化有什么联系与不同呢?那么下面一起来看看店铺为大家精心推荐的茶文化与咖啡文化,希望能够对您有所帮助。

茶文化与咖啡文化(上)茶,是中华民族的举国之饮。

它发于神农,闻于鲁周公,兴于唐朝,盛在宋代,如今已成了风靡世界的三大无酒精饮料(茶叶、咖啡和可可)之一。

茶之于中国,犹如咖啡之于法国,不仅仅是一杯饮料,更是一种悠久深厚的文化。

中国是茶的故乡,是茶的原产地,中国人对茶的熟悉,上至帝王将相,文人墨客,诸子百家,下至平民百姓,下里巴人,无不以茶为好。

人们常说:开门七件事,柴米油盐酱醋茶。

茶在中国人生活和文化中的地位,由此可见一斑。

茶,已经成为我国和东方乃至整个世界的一种灿烂独特的文化……中国是茶的发祥地,被誉为“茶的祖国”。

茶,乃是中华民族的骄傲!茶叶生产和饮用已经历了几千年的历史过程,人们对茶叶的需求也出现新的要求。

这是因为,在社会发展中,一旦人们对衣、食、住、行的要求得到了满足,就特别注重保健和文化生活方面的需求。

茶,这种天然保健饮料必将愈来愈受到人们的青睐。

与此同时,由于它含有大量的对人体起着一定的保健和防病的成分,更会吸引大量消费者去饮用它。

茶叶,已成为人们生活中不可缺少的伴侣。

我们现在还饮用着与很古老的祖先如姜太公之流相同的饮料,确实是很使人心潮澎湃的事情,能够给我们很多的遐想。

中国历史上有很长的饮茶纪录,已经无法确切地查明到底是什么年代了,但是大致的时代是有说法的。

并且也可以找到证据显示,确实在世界上的很多地方饮茶的习惯是从中国传过去的。

因此,很多人认为饮茶就是中国人首创的,世界上其它地方的饮茶习惯、种植茶叶的习惯都是直接或间接地从中国传过去的。

就象中国灿烂的古代文明一样,清朝之后,饮茶之风逐渐波及欧洲一些国家,当茶叶最初传到欧洲时,价格昂贵,英国人和法国人都将其视为“贡品”和奢侈品。

后来,随着茶叶输入量的不断增加,价格逐渐降下来,成为民间的日常饮料。

人们可以在咖啡馆的角落里看到来自世界各地的艺术品,了解其他文化的传统和历史。

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化茶、咖啡与可乐并称为世界三大饮品,消耗量最大的是茶和咖啡。

咖啡在西方人的生活中有着不可取代的地位,无论是在学校、公司、商场还是在家里,无人不拿着咖啡杯乐在其中;而茶深深根植于中国人的生活中,它不仅是一种饮料,更承载着中华文化。

茶和咖啡代表了中西方两种不同的文化。

茶和咖啡的起源茶,古称“荼”,也称“茗”,相传是由神农发现的。

据《神农本草经》记载,“神农尝百草,日遇七十二毒,得荼而解之”。

古字“荼”就是今天的“茶”字。

茶最初被当作一种药材来使用,后来在人们反覆的医药实践中,发现茶不但可以治病,而且可以清热解渴,味道也清新扑鼻,是一种很好的饮料。

而在关于咖啡起源的众多传说中,基督教的“牧羊人的故事”是流传最广的。

据传,在北非的伊索比亚的加法(Kaffa)地区,有一名叫科迪(Kaldi)的牧羊人,某日如常出外牧羊,突然发现羊群蹦蹦跳跳,异常活跃,他仔细一看,发现它们在吃地上的红果实。

他估计是这些红果实使得羊如此兴奋。

于是,他带着红果实去找邻近修道院的一名神父求教,神父听了牧羊人的话,也很好奇,于是把数颗红果实往嘴里送,不一会儿,神父也变得生龙活虎。

自此,所有神父在做弥撒前都会吃下几颗红果实,后来命名其为加法果,就是流传至今的咖啡果了。

中国人喝茶已经有几千年历史了,种类繁多,主要有绿茶、红茶、乌龙茶、花茶、白茶、黄茶等;根据不同场合有不同的泡法,比如绿茶需要用较冷的水冲泡,红茶和乌龙茶要用传统式的泡法。

茶有健身、治病等药物疗效,还具有修身养性、陶冶情操等功效。

同样,咖啡对法国人的重要性亦如茶对于中国人,且是有过之而无不及。

法国人说:“我不在咖啡馆,就在去咖啡馆的路上。

”看似简单的一句玩笑话,却是法国人生活的真实写照,因为咖啡已经成为了法国人生活的必需品。

茶的文化意蕴中国人品茶讲究的是茶道,而法国人品咖啡讲究的是环境和情调,如今,茶和咖啡已经被衍生为茶文化和咖啡文化。

茶文化与中国传统文化中儒、释、道三家的哲学理念是息息相关的,儒家中庸和谐,以茶雅志;道家混同物我,以茶清心;佛家明心见性,以茶着禅。

茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同

茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同

茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同茶承载了很多中国文化的元素,可以说是中国人生活方式的一种代表。

而咖啡,则与西方文化有着不解之缘,咖啡代表的是一种精神,一种与西方文化息息相关的热情、自由、开放的精神。

茶和咖啡是当今世界日常生活中最重要的两大饮品。

茶的清香沁人心脾,喝茶时清新淡雅的意境让人陶醉,咖啡的香醇亦是令人如痴如醉,让人在忘我的境界里回味无穷。

茶和咖啡的起源、传播、饮用方式,文化内涵等方面更能折射出中西两种文化的演变和差异。

一、起源与发展 1.茶的起源与发展早在秦汉以前,我国四川一带已盛行饮茶。

西汉时,茶是四川的特产,曾通过进贡传到京城长安,我国古代川东鄂西就是茶树的发祥地。

神农氏是"三苗"、"九黎"部族之首领。

在《史记•吴起传》与《说苑》等古籍中有"三苗氏,衡山在其南,歧山其北,左洞庭之坡,右彭蠡之川"的记载,这说明神农氏的部族发源在四川东部和湖北西部山区,这正是今日大神农架的地域。

《神农百草经》中写到:"神农尝百草,日遇七十二毒,得茶而解之"。

在这样一个植被茂盛,至今还盛产茶叶的环境里,神农尝百草完全是可能的。

从《王褒僮约》所记载的饮茶、卖茶的事实看来,我国汉代以前,川东鄂西地区生产和利用茶叶的事业已相当发达。

人们不难设想从采野茶到人工栽培茶树,从自给自用到"产、供、销"的过程,需要多长年代。

所以说我国祖先发现利用栽培茶叶的历史是悠久的。

自神农氏尝百草得茶以后,在原始公社后期,茶叶成为货物交换的物品。

商末周初,巴蜀人已经开始饮茶,公元前1066年武王伐纣,茶叶曾经作为贡品。

战国时期,茶叶已有一定规模。

在汉朝,茶叶成为佛教"坐禅"的专用滋补品。

而魏晋南北朝,茶立足于长江流域同时向北方普及,饮茶之风扩散开来。

隋唐时代,全民普遍饮茶,茶业昌盛,出现了茶馆、茶宴、茶会,提倡客来敬茶,此时也产生了世界上第一部茶文化专著《茶经》。

跨文化交际案例分析12杯茶如何帮助他走出尴尬的境地

跨文化交际案例分析12杯茶如何帮助他走出尴尬的境地

跨文化交际案例分析12杯茶如何帮助他走出尴尬的境地在跨文化交际中,了解并尊重对方的文化习俗是非常重要的,否则可能会引起尴尬的局面。

以下是一个关于如何通过适应对方文化来解决尴尬境地的案例分析:案例背景:假设一位中国人(A)在拜访美国人(B)的家中。

A和B之间的交往已经进一步深入,但是他们之间还是存在着一些文化差异,因此在交流中还是会被一些小细节搞得尴尬。

情境一:对茶的不同理解在中国,茶是非常重要的饮料,并代表了尊重和款待。

中国人在访客到来时通常会热情地准备茶。

然而,在美国,咖啡是更受欢迎的热饮料。

当A第一次去B的家时,B没有准备茶,而是提供了咖啡。

这时,A感到有点尴尬,因为他期望得到的是茶。

解决方式:在这种情况下,A可以主动询问B是否有茶可供选择。

他可以礼貌地说“你们家有茶吗?我非常喜欢喝茶,如果方便的话我可以自己泡。

”通过这种方式,A表达了对茶的欣赏,并且也给了B另一种选择茶的机会。

情境二:用杯子的不同中国人倾向于使用瓷制茶杯,而美国人更常使用玻璃或陶瓷杯子。

A 持久地奉上了他自带的瓷茶杯,而B只有一些玻璃杯可供选择。

解决方式:在这种情况下,A可以在奉茶前表达自己的偏好,说“我喜欢用瓷杯,但是如果你有玻璃杯那也没关系。

”通过这种方式,A给了B一个选择,让他们两人都不会感到尴尬。

情境三:饮用茶的方式在中国,人们通常用右手执杯,而在美国,使用左手是常见的。

A不知道这个差异,在喝茶时使用了左手执杯。

解决方式:在这种情况下,A可以通过观察B的习惯来改变自己。

当他注意到B使用左手时,他可以轻轻地改用右手执杯。

通过这种方式,A可以尊重B的习惯,并使交流更加顺畅。

总结:这个案例展示了在跨文化交际中如何通过适应对方的文化来避免尴尬的局面。

通常,尴尬的情况是由于双方对文化差异的理解和期望不同造成的。

通过沟通、礼貌地表达自己的喜好并给予对方选择的机会,可以帮助双方建立更好的跨文化交流。

在这个过程中,尊重对方文化的习俗是非常重要的,这样可以减少尴尬的发生,并促进更好的互相理解和友谊的建立。

从茶文化与咖啡文化的对比研究看中西文化冲突与融合

2018年第05期学术专业人文茶趣作者简介:令狐曼(1983-),女,重庆万盛人,硕士,讲师,研究方向:跨文化交际、英语语言文学。

张可(1985-),女,湖南常德人,硕士,讲师,研究方向:社会语言学,外语教学,翻译。

1引言在全球化趋势的推动下,我国与西方国家之间的跨文化交际也变得日益频繁,因此为了让交际更为顺利有效的进行,了解中西文化差异与融合之处一直是被学术专家及大众所重视的问题。

现在人们的物质文化条件提高了,对精神的需求也随之提高,若是欠缺对文化的了解,也就没有精神可言!餐饮文化是每个国家乃至每个民族文化特色的代表之一,它可以在某种程度上体现出这个民族的精神。

如茶就传承了我国多种文化的元素,是大部分国人生活方式中不可或缺的一部分。

而咖啡,则与西方文化有着千丝万缕的关系,在西方文化里,作为饮品主角之一,它代表的是热情、开放与自由的生活态度。

即使在不同的文化背景下,由于中西文化交流的日益频繁,茶文化与咖啡文化也开始逐渐求同存异的融合在了一起。

了解中国的茶文化和西方的咖啡文化有利于跨文化交际的顺利进行。

尽管这两者在人们的日常生活中代表了一种舒适、休闲及品位的态度,但是两者却在很多方面表现着极大的差异,本文将简单地通过对比差异看两种文化的存在的冲突及融合。

2茶与咖啡的发展史与普及2.1茶的发展史与普及关于茶的起源,说法其多,大家都执一词,争议未定,有先秦说、西汉说、三国说等等。

茶以文化形式出现,则是在两晋北朝,最早喜好饮茶的多是文人雅仕。

《神农本草经》也记载了关于茶的一些相关知识。

据说“茶”的名字的由来跟神农氏有关。

传说神农氏能把吃进自个儿肚子里的东西看得一清二楚,就如同透过玻璃柜看里面所展示的物品一样,由于他尝遍百草,所以自然能够通过观察肚子里食物的情况来判断某种食物是否对于身体有害。

这大概也是他多次中毒都能幸免的原因吧。

在他吃了这种叶子之后,发现只要这叶子在肚子里流过的地方,都能清洗干干净净。

于是他就把这种神奇的植物叫做“擦”,也就是后来我们称之为“茶”的东西。

浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的差异及其在跨文化交际中的应用

浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的差异及其在跨文化交际中的应用

24海外文摘1 中国茶与西方咖啡文化1.1 茶的起源与茶文化中国人向来嗜茶,历朝历代,爱茶者更是层出不穷。

乾隆爱茶,曾戏言:“君不可一日无茶。

”有客远来要奉茶作为招待,逢年过节也要摆出茶具与友人清酌几杯。

茶树的发现、茶叶的种植和加工、饮茶和茶文化都是从我国传播到世界各地的。

唐朝时期陆羽也有关于茶的记载:“茶者,南方之嘉木也…发乎神农氏,闻于鲁周公”。

茶的原产地有西南说, 四川说, 江浙说等。

而茶的发源时间又分别有神农说, 西周说, 秦汉说等。

在两晋北朝时期,茶以文化面貌出现。

茶圣陆羽把我国儒教、道教和佛教等哲学思想与茶文化融为一体。

儒家讲究一个“和”字,强调天地人和、中庸之和。

饮茶时要注重和谐的气氛,在这样一个氛围里慢慢品茶,沟通感情,增进友谊。

佛家有“苦海无边,回头是岸”的理念,这与品茶先苦后甜的过程也是相似的。

道家思想强调清净无为,道法自然,追求天人合一的境界。

茶产自山野之林,受天地之精华,饮茶使人神清气爽, 心气平和。

陆羽在《茶经》中第一次把“精神”贯穿于茶事活动中,把饮茶作为陶冶情操,享受艺术的过程。

1.2 咖啡的起源与咖啡文化咖啡的历史源远流长,其起源和中国茶一样众说纷纭。

据史料记载,非洲是咖啡的故乡。

传说非洲奴隶被贩卖到也门和阿拉伯半岛,咖啡也就被带到了沿途的各地,最终传入欧洲,经由法国、意大利的发扬逐渐变成了时尚。

咖啡文化给人的感觉是热情随性的,是浪漫多情的。

各国的咖啡各有不同,往往能反映出不同国度自己的风格特点。

法国人是世界上公认的最为浪漫的,他们喜欢追求喝咖啡的情调,表达一种享受生活的理念。

在德国,根据数据显示,更多的人饮用黑咖啡。

黑咖啡没有过多点缀,口感苦涩,提神醒脑的功效最佳。

这一习惯也体现了德国人的理性保守。

而在美国,人们倾向于方便快捷的生活方式。

美国的咖啡文化也就更为商业化,更为随性。

不同国家对咖啡的解读,产生了咖啡制作和口味的多样化,从而形成西方咖啡文化。

2 对比茶文化与咖啡文化2.1 思想内涵的差异:崇尚忘我与追求自我茶叶承载着山野精华、丰壤雨露,象征着“回归自然”与“返璞归真”。

跨文化交际论文 Tea and Coffee

跨文化交际论文  Tea and Coffee

新疆大学外国语学院2013-2014学年第一学期期末论文跨文化交际论文题目:A study on Chinese Tea Culture and Western Coffee Culture专业班级:英语10-3班学生姓名:***学号:***********A study on Chinese Tea Culture andWestern Coffee CultureIntroductionAs a traditional and national drink of Chinese people, tea has never stepped out of Chinese people’s daily life. China is the homeland of tea. Chinese tea has a history of over 5,000 years, during which a series of unique tea culture have come into being. For Chinese people, tea is not only a necessity in their life, but also a symbol of the spiritual civilization of Chinese society.Coffee, like tea in China, is also a necessary drink in western countries.In the west, there’s a joke saying: “If I’m not in the coffee house, I will be on the way to the coffee house.” Westerners’ love for coffee has its own cultural background. Coffee also acts as a representative of western living pattern.Tea is to Chinese people what coffee is to westerners. They are not simply two kinds of popular drink, but also signs of two different cultures,that is, Chinese culture and western culture.The essence of tea culture is closely related to the values and thinking pattern of Chinese. Similarly, the spirit of coffee culture could not be parted from the western values and ways of thinking. The concept of tea in China varies from area to area, meanwhile, the habit of drinking coffee in the west also differs from country to country. In these years, as the development of globalization and the interpenetration of different cultures, tea and coffee are becoming more and more common all over the world. They has infused into each other. More and more people in China like drinking coffee, and more and more westerners become fans of Chinese tea.This paper consists of three chapters. The first chapter gives basic information and history of the Chinese tea culture.The second chapter talks about the introduction and history of western coffee culture. The third chapter focuses on the infusion of Chinese tea culture and western coffeeculture. At the end of this paper, the author draw a brief conclusion about the topic.Chapter 1 Chinese tea culture1.1 General introduction of Chinese tea cultureTea-drinking dates from Zhou Dynasty, and have been listed as one of the seven necessities in a day. In the long history of drinking tea, the ancients of Chinese people have developed an unmatched art of tea, that is tea culture.Chinese tea culture is the culture of making and drinking tea. As one of the open seven things (firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea), Chinese tea can be categorized as green tea, black tea, wulong tea, white tea, yellow tea, scented tea, compressed tea(also called “dark tea”),and so on. The process of making tea and drink ing it are dainty in China, even the container of it are elaborately prepared, which form the basis of Chinese tea culture.The Chinese art of tea is not only a component of Chinese civilization, but also a miniature of the Chinese spirits refined in thousands of years of history.1.2 History of Chinese tea cultureThe original idea of tea is credited to the ancient Emperor, and the God of Agriculture, Shen Nong Shi. In the“Book of Herbs”, it says that “Shen Nong shi personally tasted hundreds of species of herbs and he was hit by 72 poisons in a single day. But he used a kind of three leaves to ease his case and it turned out to be tea tree.”It is said that tea shrubs were first discovered in the tropical and sub-tropical climate zone in the southwestern part of China, where primeval forests prevailed and the warm and moist setting was favorable for the growth of tea shrubs. That forms the basis for Chinese tea production.From the earliest times, tea was renowned for its properties as a healthy and refreshing drink. By the third century AD, many stories about tea and the benefits of teadrinking were being told, but it was not until Tang Dynasty (618 AD - 906 AD)that tea became China's national drink and the word “cha” was used to describe tea.As Buddhist priests in Tang Dynasty started to move around China and Japan, the spread of cultivation and tea drinking follows them.The first mention of tea outside China and Japan is said to be by the Arabs in 850 AD and it was they who were reputed to have brought it to Europe via the Venetians circa 1559.However,it is the Portuguese and Dutch who claim the credit of bringing tea and tea drinking to Europe. The Portuguese opened up the sea routes to China,some say as early as 1515. Jesuit priests traveling on the ships brought the tea drinking habit back to Portugal.1.3 the Chinese art of teaWhen talking about art of tea, Chinese “Chadao”(teaism)is an crucial part. It includes choosing the tea, selecting the water, tea technology, tea set art, choosing and creating the environment and so on, all of which need great attention and require a series of customs.As for the tea etiquette, different areas had different rules. Take gongfu tea (in Chinese means time-consuming) in Fujian province for example. Choose appropriate tea set. Normally, the tea vessels are small and exquisite, with the tea pot as small as a fist and tea cups as small as walnuts. Heat tea cups and teapot with hot water. Put tea leaves(about seven-tenth of the capacity) into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot with high-raised kettle. Keep pouring the boiling water on the teapot and teacups. Put the teacups in a circle, lower the teapot and pour the tea into the teacups. Preparing the tea. One should not fill the teacups one after another. Only two or three rounds of pouring should the teacups be filled with tea. This is to ensure that each teacup gets an even share of tea and each cup of tea has the sametaste, so that all drinkers would feel treated equally.The Chinese people, in their drinking of tea, place much s ignificance on the act of “savoring”. “Savoring” is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also how people take delight in their reverie and in tea-drinking itself. So, when drinking tea, one should first smell it, taste it, then drink it slowly. One should strictly follow the rules, otherwise, he/she would be regarded as ignorant of tea etiquette.Chapter 2 Western coffee culture2.1 General introduction of Western coffee cultureIn the west, there is a popular saying: “If I’m not in the coffee house, I will be on the way to the coffee house.” Though it is a simple joke, it reflects the importance of coffee for western people.Coffee grows in hot and more raining places, such as Brazil, Colombia. Their attitude to the life and others is very passionate, which also reflects in the coffee culture.Coffee culture describes a social atmosphere or series of associated social behaviors that depends heavily upon coffee, particularly as a social lubricant. The term also refers to the diffusion and adoption of coffee as a widely consumed stimulant by a culture. In the late 20th century, particularly in the Western world and urbanized centers around the globe, espresso has been an increasingly dominant form.2.2 History of western coffee cultureThe origin of coffee can be traced back to 100 million years ago. According to one story, the effect of coffee beans on behavior was noticed by a sheepherder from Ethiopia named Kaldi. He found his sheep unintentionally eating a kind of red fruit, the sheep became very lively and energetic.It helps people awake and later it is called coffee.Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beanswere brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslin merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon, and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.2.3 The western art of coffeeMaking coffee should have been a simple task. People only need bake coffee bean and cut into powder, and then pour hot water. But different people have different habits, and they always add others, such as milk or sugar. So various kinds of coffee were produced.When placing coffee cup and coffee plate, they should be placed in front of the drinker. And the hand of the cup should be right ward. When you are drinking coffee, you can use your right hand to hold the hand of the coffee cup and use your left hand to hold the plate. When you are mixing with the granulated sugar, you can directly use the spoon. But when you are drinking coffee, it should be taken out. If the coffee is hot, you can use the coffee spoon in the cup to mix round coffee or just wait till it is cool and then drink.The most important point is, when drinking coffee one can not run away or keep talking and can not add sugar for others without permission or pour coffee for yourself or others without permission of the hostess, because it is her work.Chapter 3 The infusion of Chinese tea culture and western coffee culture3.1 The popularity of tea in the westSince the tea has been imported to the western countries, it is more and more popular with the people. And different kinds of tea ceremonies and products are formed.Tea time serves as a time out to think, talk to friends or simply sit back and relax. In some cultures tea time is aceremonial time based on tradition of many years such as in the Far East. As the popularity of tea in western countries, “tea time” roots in people’s mind.However, the western tea culture is different from the Chinese one. They often drink tea with milk and sugar, and some snacks. And “Mix and Match” become more and more popular in nowadays, some of the stores mix up tea, milk and coffee. This new kind drink is popular among the young.3.2 The popularity of coffee in ChinaCoffee, at the same time,also gains great popularity in China. More and more young lovers choose coffee bars as their dating place. Also, more and more business negotiations are taken place in coffee houses. In the 1980s, t he world’s largest food company, Nestl e, introduced instant coffee to China. It is the beginning of popularity of instant coffee in China. Instant coffee is common because it is quicker. The small packs of instant coffee can be carried around and sucked on every five minutes. It is convenient for people to enjoy coffee anywhere anytime. ConclusionChina has formed its own tea culture for thousands of years, and Chinese tea has become an indispensable and important part in people’s daily lives. Similarly, western coffee also has cultivated its own culture in a long history. Today, tea and coffee rank as the first two natural beverages in the word, and with the economic globalization and the integration of cultures, economy and politics all over the world, tea can be found in western countries and meanwhile, coffee appears in China.In this paper, the author studies the history and art of both Chinese tea and western coffee, showing the unique features of both culture. Globalization has made the world smaller and smaller, and linked up the cultural characteristics of the entire humanity. We learn from each other’s culture and understand its values, which can contribute a lot to our intercultural communication.。

中西方跨文化交际的案例

中西方跨文化交际的案例

中西方跨文化交际的案例一、饮食文化方面。

1. 火锅与西餐。

我有个中国朋友小明去国外留学,在学校里交了个美国朋友杰克。

有一次,小明热情地邀请杰克去吃中国火锅。

杰克一进火锅店就被那热闹的氛围搞懵了。

当服务员端上锅底,各种生的食材,像毛肚、鸭肠、肥牛卷之类的,杰克瞪大了眼睛。

他平时吃西餐,牛排啥的都是煎得好好的端上来。

小明不停地把食材往锅里涮,还热情地给杰克夹菜,说:“这个毛肚啊,七上八下就可以吃了,可嫩了。

”杰克看着那在锅里翻腾的毛肚,犹豫了好久才放进嘴里,然后被那独特的口感惊到了。

而杰克呢,后来回请小明去吃西餐。

小明看着那一小份一小份精致摆盘的食物,心想这哪够吃啊。

他拿起刀叉,感觉特别别扭,不像用筷子那么顺手,还不小心把牛排切得满盘子都是汁水,两个人看着彼此的窘态都哈哈大笑起来。

2. 茶文化与咖啡文化。

有个中国的商务代表团去英国谈合作。

谈判休息期间,英国方面的负责人请中国客人喝咖啡。

对于英国人来说,咖啡是日常社交饮品,他们优雅地拿着咖啡杯,小抿一口,谈论着咖啡的产地和风味。

而中国代表团里有个刘先生,他是个老茶客,平时就爱喝茶。

他看着那一小杯咖啡,心里嘀咕着“这哪有茶喝着舒坦”。

于是他就从包里拿出一小包自己带的茶叶,问英国人有没有热水可以泡茶。

英国人一脸惊讶,他们没想到中国人这么爱喝茶,在他们的概念里,咖啡才是正式的社交饮品。

刘先生就开始给英国人介绍中国的茶文化,从茶叶的种类到泡茶的讲究,什么“春茶最香,不同的茶要用不同的水温泡”之类的。

英国人听着觉得特别新奇,这就像他们对不同咖啡豆烘焙程度的讲究一样,双方因为饮品文化的交流,关系也变得更加融洽了。

二、社交礼仪方面。

1. 见面礼仪。

我的同事小赵去法国出差。

在一个商务会议上,他遇到了很多法国的合作伙伴。

小赵习惯了中国人见面握手的方式,所以他见到法国同事的时候就热情地伸出手去握手。

可是有些法国女士,按照法国的礼仪习惯,是行贴面礼的。

这就有点尴尬了,有个法国女同事愣了一下,然后笑着先和小赵握了手,然后又侧过脸来轻轻贴了一下,还开玩笑地说:“你这个中国的热情握手和我们法国的贴面礼结合得很特别呢。

茶与咖啡的文化差异研究

茶与咖啡的文化差异研究

2019年第07期基金项目:本文受天津理工大学中东欧研究院资助,系“‘一带一路’国际合作与交流中文化身份构建研究———以中国和波兰为例”课题部分研究成果。

收稿日期:2019年3月15日。

当前人民群众的物质水平有了长足的进步,这就导致对精神生活上的需求也日益提升,在跨文化交际的推动之下,文化之间的差异及相互融合,能够有效满足人民群众的精神需求。

餐饮文化是每个国家颇具代表性的特色文化之一,不同国家的餐饮文化有着一定的共同点,也有相关的不同点。

如承载了我国多种文化元素的茶文化,与代表了开放、自由、热情生活态度的西方咖啡文化是截然不同的两种文化,但随着中西方文化交流的日渐频繁,也逐渐求同存异进行了有机融合。

厘清两种文化之间的差异,探求引起文化差异的原因,寻找内在的共同点,并采取合理的方式进行融合,是本文的主要研究方向。

1茶文化概述据历史记载,茶起源于中国,经过长达几千年的传承与积淀,已经逐渐形成了独有的茶文化,成为了中国颇具代表的特色文化之一。

茶文化不单单指茶叶自身,还包含了茶艺、茶德、茶书、茶具等多种方面。

中国自古以来就是礼仪之邦,“礼”的概念已经深入到了人民群众日常生活的方方面面,有客人来拜访,敬茶是最能体现礼仪内涵的方式。

茶文化属于中国传统文化的代表之一,从其精神内涵中能够看出其中蕴含了较为浓厚的“礼”文化。

茶文化的精神内涵主要是指沏茶、上茶、饮茶、品茶等基本流程中所体现出的一种文化习惯,能够与“礼”进行有机融合,形成了一种具备鲜明中华文化特征的一种文化现象。

茶在我国具有较为悠久的发展历史,最早可追溯到被众人认可的神农氏得茶,到了原始社会后期,茶叶被用作与他人交换的一种货物[1]。

在商末周初,人们开始意识到茶叶能够用于饮用,在经过朝代的更迭后,在战国时期茶叶的种植与饮用已经小有规模。

在隋唐时期,“茶圣”陆羽伴随其著作《茶经》横空出世,标志着我国茶文化的正式形成,也直接推动了全民饮茶的风潮,茶宴、茶会、茶馆等场所也应运而生,茶文化在此种文化土壤中得以厚植。

茶文化与咖啡文化的比较与思考

茶文化与咖啡文化的比较与思考

茶文化与咖啡文化的比较与思考一、茶文化与咖啡文化的起源与发展茶文化和咖啡文化都有着悠久的历史和丰富的文化内涵。

茶文化的起源可以追溯到中国几千年前,而咖啡文化的起源则是来自阿拉伯地区。

两种文化在不同地域和历史时期发展,呈现出不同的风格和特点,且迅速普及至今。

二、茶文化与咖啡文化在现代社会中的认知度和影响力茶文化和咖啡文化在现代社会中的认知度是随着人们对生活品质的提升而不断提高的。

茶文化倡导的是生活慢化、充满内敛和情趣,而咖啡文化则追求快餐式、简洁和高效的生活方式。

两种文化在现代社会中都有着广泛的影响力,无论是人们的生活还是商业活动都深受它们的影响。

They bring enjoyment of people from different cultures, at the same time, it can also be according to different type and efficiency have to choose for the exhaustion of body and mind to obtain the effective soothing.The social function of teaJust as coffee plays an important in western society, tea has become an indispensable part of people's daily life in China. In recent years, more and more Chinese people are increasingly close relationship with tea. In ancient China, the ancients designed a special way to drink tea and create a tea culture. Because it includes many aspects, making tea, tea brewing method, tea utensils, a wide variety of teapots and tea environment. The art of tea is called "tea" and is the most important part of the Chinese culture of Japan "tea" is water from China in the process of tea plays a very important role.Past three famous spring water as tea fine water, although people with a wide variety of teacups and teapots tea while the purple sand pot, a only production from Jiangsu Province of made of purple clay teapot, was always considered a teapot in the top grade. The tea pot made of pure natural material has the unique skill of making a master. It can keep the flavor and taste of tea for a long time. The environment in which Chinese people choose to drink tea has itsspecial characteristics. Therefore, the tea house is built on or near the natural landscape, near the lake by the river or in the mountains or in the garden of man-made hills or near the lake, and accompanied by musicians playing the ancient musical instruments at the same time.Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, the three major philosophical system in China has formed a their own tea culture "Taoist tea requires people in the spirit of quietism beyond the physical realm, the Confucian tea encourage people friendly exchanges along, harmonious and actively participate in social life. Buddhist tea tea drinkers to request the pursuit of truth and self understanding. Today, China Folk Tea tea is mostly influenced by confucian. "Drinking tea" is a good way to communicate and promote friendship. Tea as a refreshing drink, to help the tea party to review and reflect on. So that they can better understand others and achieve harmony between nature and society in general.There are a lot of good winter tea, a cup of tea is warm up good stuff.

However, other people think that coffee is the coffee in the United States is a kind of cultural precipitation. Thousands of chain stores, such as Duncan, Starbucks and so on, are leading the daily life in the United States, especially in the morning when the coffee is consumed in the morning. It took hundreds of millions of printed pastel orange logo with coffee cups, shuttle in the streets or catch the Metro on the way. Men and women dressed in smart business suits will take the opportunity to drill into the coffee shop. The students from around the campus coffee shop to rest, relax on the couch. On the highway to protect the road construction of the police are holding coffee in his hand. In short, people who drink coffee in the United States are everywhere Americans drink coffee is like playing games without rules. Naturally, little concern for the complex process of making coffee. Because in the United States time is very valuable, people are always busy with work, so enjoy the best place to enjoy the leisure coffee shop where they chat, discuss hot topics, read poetry and so on. When people open the door to leave the coffee shop, a breeze blowing over their faces. At the same time, along with the ears whispers of the last song blues music. Coffee in the United States is a subculture, and was widely circulated in the community. For example, Starbucks is not just coffee, it goes beyond the other brands on the market, is a kind of social and political statement. A way of life that people want to live their lives, in other words, it is a culture.ConclusionThrough an overview and comparison of the culture of tea and coffee, we can draw the following conclusions. While the coffee in western society, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States has a profound and important influence, but more is a manifestation of the way of life. For most Chinese consumers, coffee is a western culture, and it is combined with the Western way of life. Coffee consumers mainly concentrated in some big cities in China, such as Guangzhou, Shanghai and so on. Where the coffee has been highly concerned, the coffee attracts the risk of opening the minds of the young affluent urban consumers. These consumers are more likely to be influenced by the Western way of life in the pursuit of the Western way of life. The existence of the city in the coffee shop has become very obvious, China's opening to the world. It represents the Chinese urban economy is the way of life in the Western way of life and the traditional way of life in china.Tea is the national drink of China. And will continue to be a part of the daily life of the Chinese people. In addition tea is considered to be ahealthy work effective drinks. Coffee is just a way of life. The introduction of tea from China to the west not only affects the western history, but also makes the western people's Congress greatly narrow the class boundaries. By talking about relaxation together, they seek to find a more positive and healthy way of life. However, little is known about the culture of tea in China. The price of coffee is far away from the majority of Chinese consumers, many consumers still have little understanding of the culture of coffee, and tea is a kind of cheap products. And with the continuous improvement of China's influence in the world, tea culture will be more easily understood by westerners. In summary, in the cultural exchanges between China and the west, we must be aware of the importance of studying the culture of tea and coffee.To understand the two different cultures play an important role. For example, we can be the spirit of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism and the importance of coffee culture better understanding of western theory of freedom through the study of tea culture better geographic hydrolysis. In order to further improve the exchange between China and the west to become more harmonious, but also for the colorful life of the people in the world.
