中西节日文化差异英文公司内部编号：（GOOD-TMMT-MMUT-UUPTY-UUYY-DTTI-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, globalizationwill 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 brillianthistory 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. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let’s join hand in hand to protect and carry forward Chinese tradition.Key words: Traditional festivals; Chinese and Western cultures; difference; globalizationIntroduction:“A holiday of a nation represents a glorious culture and concentrated customs of a nation.” To understand a nation'scultural implications and its cultural characteristics, we muststart with its traditional festivals. There exists great difference between Chinese and Western festivals due to their different languages, education, life styles and customs. Recently, western festivals are becoming more and more popular among Chinese. On one hand, it can indeed bring some benefits to our country to some extent. On the other hand, we should pay attention to this phenomenon. The differences in their origin and shaping, celebration, food, banquet manners, color of festive dressing and the attitudesof accepting presents contribute to the great differences ofChinese and Western festive cultures. On the background of globalization, we should pay respect to western festivals, and carry forward our excellent traditional festivals at the same time.“A holiday of a nation represents a glorious culture and concentrated customs of a nation.” To understand a nation'scultural implications and its cultural characteristics, we muststart with its traditional festivals. There exists great difference between the Chinese and Western festivals due to their different languages, education, life styles and customs.Recently, western festivals are becoming more and more popular among Chinese people, especially among the young. According to an internet survey, morethan half of the thirties prefer foreign festivals.With the furtherdevelopment of society and inter-culture, though we should notreject the advanced technology, culture, and foreign language, there is a touch of melancholy when coming to think that our traditional festivals was neglected.There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in many aspects. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt. Undoubtedly, enjoying western festivals can enrich our life, bring us more happiness, promote communication and enhance our friendship. Whether be the foreign festivals or traditional festivals, they all imply the meaning of union, safety and blessing. From the perspective of consumption and entertainment, festivals can not only stimulate domestic demand, but also provide access toexotic cultures. And foreign festival, to some extent, means peer-gathering.Besides, more people should make careful analysis of the differences between Chinese and foreign festival cultures.1. the difference of where they originated and how they took shapeThe original meaning of Chinese traditional festivals is from agriculture, because our country had been in feudal self-sufficient agricultural society and natural economy for a long time. As the old saying goes "Rain in spring is as precious as oil" "The peasants are busy with growing wheat during the Qingming festival". The Spring Festival and Qingming have been important agricultural festivals since ancient times.Western traditional festivals originated from Christianity, such as St. Valentine's Day is in commemoration of Christianity martyr named Valentine, and the Easter of the revival of Jesus, Halloween is All Saints’ Day, and the Christmas is the birth of Jesus.2. the difference in celebrationWestern traditional festivals emphasize on interactivity,collectivity and extreme carnival, focusing on self and advocating free expressing of personality. While in China, we focus on family reunion and enjoy happy family relations. Here we set two examples as follows.*Spring Festival Vs New YearIn western nations, the New Year’s Day falls on January 1st in Gregorian calendar. On the night of December 31, particularly close to the late zero o’clock, tens of thousands of people gather in to pray sincerely and silently for the coming year’s countdown. Whenthe bell sounds 12, suddenly, the beautiful music sound, people are singing happily and talking cheerfully, playing all night long. In China, the Spring Festival falls on January 1st in lunar calendar since Qin Dynasty. On the eve of Spring Festival, we get together to enjoy delicious food and cuisine, staying up for the coming New Year to bid farewell to the old year. The whole family will spend a beautiful night in the sound of firecrackers. The Spring Festival lasts until Lantern Festival. Spring cleaning, New Year gathering, firecrackers, lion dance are the popular customs during Spring Festival. Each of the two festivals has its strong points: The western New Year embodies fashion trend and modern life. While Chinese people attach great importance to dense national culture and traditional atmosphere to the Spring Festival; it has the glorious history and the unique beauty.* Qingming Festival Vs Halloween DayIn China, April in the lunar year is an important month for ghosts. In this month, the souls will be released from the Hades, and people will be organized to hold activities to entertain them with their hospitality for this rare "holidays". Particularly on April 4th, Qingming festival, every family will prepare for rich offerings to sacrifice these good brothers who come from the nether world. There’re many other activities during the Qingming Festival, sucha s visiting their ancestors’ tombs, spring hiking and planting osier. Osier means indomitable vitality and can ward off bad luck at the same time. Visiting ancestors’ tombs in Qingming Festival can not only show their respect, what’s more, it shows people’s enthusiasm for life.In the west, the similar festival is called Halloween day(Oct.11-Nov.7th). It is the third important festival next to Christmas and Thanksgiving Day. It is said that people should let the ghost see their satisfactory harvest and present abundant sacrifice to them. Both the bonfires and lights are not only to scare the ghosts away, but also to illuminate them back to the place where they come from. On this day, people can disguise themselves freely and make trouble to their heart’s cont ent. On many public occasions and home compound, people lay out different kinds of decorations on the windows and doors, such as pumpkin lights, a scarecrow and even the skeleton. Every family will hold a dressing ball, and put on fruit and other crops on the table.3. the difference on foodChinese traditional food put emphasis on color, smell and taste. Nearly endless variety of natural ingredients and methods of preparations are employed in Chinese cuisine. The careful coordination of such a series of delicate activities as selectingingredients, mixing flavors, timing the cooking, controlling theheat and finally laying out the food on the plate for the table are the typical characteristics of Chinese food, especially the festive cuisine. Each Chinese festival is characterized by their distinguished food. People in northern China eat jiaozi on the eveof Spring Festival. The Chinese character "jiao" in "jiaozi" sound like "jiao" which implies union. Besides, jiaozi resembles a gold ingot meaning the gaining of wealth. Throughout southern China, niangao(literally meaning the "year cake", a thick steamed puddingof glutinous rice flour) is made in a great variety of shapes and flavors. The character "gao" in the word "niangao" is homonymouswith the word "high", suggesting "growing up and prospering in the new year". We have "yuanxiao" on Lantern Festival, glutinous rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival, moon-cake on Mid-autumn Festival. By contrast, the western food tends to be simplified due to their advanced food technology, such as the canned food, fast food, etc. KFC, McDonald is time-saving but lack nutrition.4.the difference of banquet mannersIn China, people will sit around in the festive banquet. We often take round table for the banquet which create friendly and united atmosphere. The food at the center of the table is not only what people eat but also the medium of exchange. People toast to eachother, showing respect and courtesy of China. It reflects the influence of "he" in Chinese classic philosophy on off-springs, round table is good for group communication.In western festive banquet, food and drinks just serve as dressing while communication is the core of the banquet. If compared to dance, Chinese banquet is group dancing, western's is social dancing. The purpose of communication on Chinese and western festive banquet is obvious. Chinese festive banquet focus on the communication among all the people presented. While the western banquet emphasizes on personal communication.5. the difference in color of festive dressingThe implications of colors -----The same color symbolizes different meanings in Chinese and western festive cultures.RedRed is a typical color in China. Red lanterns are lit, red couplets and "fu" are put up during festivals. It symbolizes beauty and luck, so red is the first choice of festivals. But in western culture, red is a derogatory term which reminds flood and violence.WhiteWhite is taboo in Chinese festivals which is often used in funerals while in the west, white is a typical festive color. It symbolizes purity and elegance, such as the wedding dress, white candles duringthe festivals.YellowYellow means dignity in China. In ancient times, only the royal members can be allowed to yellow dress. It has been the color for the ancient China. While in western culture, the color yellow has some negative meanings, it mainly means despicable, timid (for example, yellow dog----despicable people, yellow-livered, yellow streak).6. the difference in the habit of accepting presentsChinese veil their real thoughts while Westerners always revealtheir minds freely and directly. The way of accepting gifts and the attitudes are different. During festivals, the Chinese and the Western countries have shown very different attitudes about a giftfor someone. In western country, people often ask for a gift, and they will usually open it in front of people’s face and expresstheir thanks. Chinese people often defer about the present since we are guided by the tradition of modest and courtesy. And we usuallydo not open it in front of the presenter.In addition, China is a multi-ethnic country. Different lifestyles and customs of different nations contribute to the diversifications and characteristics of Chinese culture. Many minorities have theirlocal festivals, such as the Sporangia Festival of Daizu, Torch Festival of Yizu, etc.Conclusion:In modern times, the prevalence of western festivals in China is the feature of globalization and the mixture of multi-culture. We should pay respect to western festivals, but on the other side, we Chinese should safeguard and protect our own cultural spirit and explore new implication to accomplish the lofty cause of transiting and inheriting our national culture. In fact, what the traditional festivals contain is the traditional culture, which is the national spirit that combines the national confidence and national pride. So the government has the responsibility to strengthen the education to make more people, particularly the young, better know and like our own traditional culture, thus building up national confidence and national pride to carry forward the Chinese excellent traditions.。

The Celts also wore costumes to disguise themselves, in an attempt to confuse the spirits roaming the Earth.
The Custom of Ghost Festival
• on July 15, people float River Lanterns to Pay homage ( 致敬 )to the dead . People used to make lanterns which made of wood colored paper. Then put a candle in the lanterns. Let the candle light guide dead souls.
The Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred(模糊) as the dead searched for the afterlife(来世).Thus, on the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth to cause mischief(恶作剧) and trouble.

风俗习惯(中西方差异)英语版

夏威夷的风俗习惯如果想要真正地了解夏威夷的风俗习惯，就必须了解夏威夷在白人文明进入之前的习俗，即夏威夷卡普制度时期的风俗习惯。

卡普制度是在1820年左右消亡的（参阅"卡普制度"）。

直到现在，很多传统的夏威夷人还是认为，枕头是不可以用脚踩、也不可以坐的。

男人出海打鱼，家里人不可以问他上哪里，也不可以在男人离家期间招待客人，下海的人不可以带随行香蕉，否则就会倒霉。

作者作为女人，又生活在夏威夷，真的是非常庆幸以上这些习俗随着基督教义的传播到了1820左右都已经没有了。

但尽管这样，历史的痕迹偶尔也会在后代中显现，本人也有所经历。

以下这些生活的习俗，在某些土著居民区偶尔还会碰到，如果你来夏威夷，入境问俗，说不定能派上用场。

带花夏威夷人送鲜花做成的花环表示欢或祝贺，他（她）会为你带在脖子上。

你接受了以后不要马上取下来，你也不能马上就摘下来转赠他人，除非你转赠的对象是你的家庭成员。

否则会被认为很不礼貌。

行为做贼的人手会痛而且会生癣，淫乱的男人下体会痛。

走路时脚无故地痛起来的人要小心，可能你走错路了。

丧葬家里有人生病或受伤需要抬出门外，必须脚先脑后。

如果头先脚后地抬，会被认为是抬死人，很不吉利。

家里死了人，夏威夷的习惯是必须全家举哀，哭得越悲切越好。

很多家里人因此敲掉门牙，自残自己的面容和身体，表示最诚挚的哀悼。

百闻不如一见，欢迎你来夏威夷一玩！为方便你的旅游做计划和做预算，请参看我们网站的"精打细算的旅游套票"。

nation、” To understand a nation's cultural implications a nd its cultural characteristics, we must start with its traditional festivals、There exists great difference between Chinese and Western festivals due to their different languages, education, life styles and customs、Recently, western festivals are becoming more and more popular among Chinese、On one hand, it can indeed bring some benefits to our country to some extent、On the other hand, we should pay attention to this phenomenon、The differences in their origin and shaping, celebration, food, banquet manners, color of festive dressing and the attitudes of accepting presents contribute to the great differences of Chinese and Western festive cultures、On the background of globalization, we should pay respect to western festivals, and carry forward our excellent traditional festivals at the same time、“A holiday of a nation represents a glorious culture and concentrated customs of a nation、” To understand a nation's cultural implications and its cultural characteristics,we must start with its traditional festivals、There exists great difference between the Chinese and Western festivals due to their different languages, education, life styles and customs、Recently, western festivals are becoming more and more popular among Chinese people, especially among the young、According to an internet survey, more than half of the thirties prefer foreign festivals、With the further development of society and inter-culture, though we should not reject the advanced technology, culture, and foreign language, there is a touch of melancholy when coming to think that our traditional festivals was neglected、There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon、First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in many aspects、Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people、Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in China、Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture、Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt、Undoubtedly, enjoying western festivals can enrich our life, bring us more happiness, promote communication and enhance our friendship、Whether be the foreign festivals or traditional festivals, they all imply the meaning of union, safety and blessing、From the perspective of consumption and entertainment, festivals can not only stimulate domestic demand, but also provide access to exotic cultures、And foreign festival, to some extent, means peer-gathering、Besides, more people should make careful analysis of the differences between Chinese and foreign festival cultures、1、the difference of where they originated and how they took shapeThe original meaning of Chinese traditional festivals is from agriculture, because our country had been in feudal self-sufficient agricultural society and natural economy for a long time、As the old saying goes "Rain in spring is as precious as oil" "The peasants are busy with growing wheat during the Qingming festival"、The Spring Festival and Qingming have been important agricultural festivals since ancient times、Western traditional festivals originated from Christianity, such as St、Valentine's Day is in commemoration of Christianity martyr named Valentine, and the Easter of the revival of Jesus, Halloween is All Saints’ Day, and the Christmas is the birth of Jesus、2、the difference in celebrationWestern traditional festivals emphasize on interactivity, collectivity and extreme carnival, focusing on self and advocating free expressing of personality、While in China, we focus on family reunion and enjoy happy family relations、Here we set two examples as follows、*Spring Festival Vs New YearIn western nations, the New Year’s Day falls on January 1st in Gregorian calendar、On the night of December 31, particularly close to the late zero o’clock, tens of thousands of people gather in to pray sincerely and silently for the coming year’s countdown、When the bell sounds 12, suddenly, the beautiful music sound, people are singing happily and talking cheerfully, playing all night long、In China, the Spring Festival falls on January 1st in lunar calendar since Qin Dynasty、On the eve of Spring Festival, we get together to enjoy delicious food and cuisine, staying up forthe coming New Year to bid farewell to the old year、The whole family will spend a beautiful night in the sound of firecrackers、The Spring Festival lasts until Lantern Festival、Spring cleaning, New Year gathering, firecrackers, lion dance are the popular customs during Spring Festival、Each of the two festivals has its strong points: The western New Year embodies fashion trend and modern life、While Chinese people attach great importance to dense national culture and traditional atmosphere to the Spring Festival; it has the glorious history and the unique beauty、* Qingming Festival Vs Halloween DayIn China, April in the lunar year is an important month for ghosts、In this month, the souls will be released from the Hades, and people will be organized to hold activities to entertain them with their hospitality for this rare "holidays"、Particularly on April 4th, Qingming festival, every family will prepare for rich offerings to sacrifice these good brothers who come from the nether world、There’re many other activities during the Qingming Festival, such as visiting their ancestors’ tombs, spring hiking and planting osier、Osier means indomitable vitality and can ward off bad luck at the same time、Visiting ancestors’ tombs in Qingming Festival can not only show their respect, what’s more, it shows people’s enthusiasm for life、In the west, the similar festival is called Halloween day(Oct、11-Nov、7th)、It is the third important festival next to Christmas and Thanksgiving Day、It is said that people should let the ghost see their satisfactory harvest and present abundant sacrifice to them、Both the bonfires and lights are not only to scare the ghosts away, but also to illuminate them back to the place where they come from、On this day, people can disguise themselves freely and make trouble to their heart’s content、On many public occasions and home compound, people lay out different kinds of decorations on the windows and doors, such as pumpkin lights, a scarecrow and even the skeleton、Every family will hold a dressing ball, and put on fruit and other crops on the table、3、the difference on foodChinese traditional food put emphasis on color, smell and taste、Nearly endless variety of natural ingredients and methods of preparations are employed in Chinese cuisine、The careful coordination of such a series of delicate activities as selecting ingredients, mixing flavors, timing the cooking, controlling the heat and finally laying out the food on the plate for the table are the typical characteristics of Chinese food, especially the festive cuisine、Each Chinese festival is characterized by their distinguished food、People in northern China eat jiaozi on the eve of Spring Festival、The Chinese character "jiao" in "jiaozi" sound like "jiao" which implies union、Besides, jiaozi resembles a gold ingot meaning the gaining of wealth、Throughout southern China, niangao(literally meaning the "year cake", a thick steamed pudding of glutinous rice flour) is made in a great variety of shapes and flavors、The character "gao" in the word "niangao" is homonymous with the word "high", suggesting "growing up and prospering in the new year"、We have "yuanxiao" on Lantern Festival, glutinous rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival, moon-cake on Mid-autumn Festival、By contrast, the western food tends to be simplified due to their advanced food technology, such as the canned food, fast food, etc、KFC,McDonald is time-saving but lack nutrition、4、the difference of banquet mannersIn China, people will sit around in the festive banquet、We often take round table for the banquet which create friendly and united atmosphere、The food at the center of the table is not only what people eat but also the medium of exchange、People toast to each other, showing respect and courtesy of China、It reflects the influence of "he" in Chinese classic philosophy on off-springs, round table is good for group communication、In western festive banquet, food and drinks just serve as dressing while communication is the core of the banquet、If compared to dance, Chinese banquet is group dancing, western's is social dancing、The purpose of communication on Chinese and western festive banquet is obvious、Chinese festive banquet focus on the communication among all the people presented、While the western banquet emphasizes on personal communication、5、the difference in color of festive dressingThe implications of colors -----The same color symbolizes different meanings in Chinese and western festive cultures、RedRed is a typical color in China、Red lanterns are lit, red couplets and "fu" are put up during festivals、It symbolizes beauty and luck, so red is the first choice of festivals、But in western culture, red is a derogatory term which reminds flood and violence、WhiteWhite is taboo in Chinese festivals which is often used in funerals while in the west, white is a typical festive color、It symbolizes purity and elegance, such as the wedding dress, white candles during the festivals、YellowYellow means dignity in China、In ancient times, only the royal members can be allowed to yellow dress、It has been the color for the ancient China、While in western culture, the color yellow has some negative meanings, it mainly means despicable, timid (for example, yellow dog----despicable people, yellow-livered, yellow streak)、6、the difference in the habit of accepting presentsChinese veil their real thoughts while Westerners always reveal their minds freely and directly、The way of accepting gifts and the attitudes are different、During festivals, the Chinese and the Western countries have shown very different attitudes about a gift for someone、In western country, people often ask for a gift, and they will usually open it in front of people’s face and express their thanks、Chinese people often defer about the present since we are guided by the tradition of modest and courtesy、And we usually do not open it in front of the presenter、In addition, China is a multi-ethnic country、Different lifestyles and customs of different nations contribute to the diversifications and characteristics of Chinese culture、Many minorities have their local festivals, such as the Sporangia Festival of Daizu, Torch Festival of Yizu, etc、Conclusion:In modern times, the prevalence of western festivals in China is the feature of globalization and the mixture of multi-culture、We should pay respect to western festivals, but on the other side, we Chinese should safeguard and protect our own cultural spirit and explore new implication to accomplish the lofty cause of transiting and inheriting our national culture、In fact, what the traditional festivals contain is the traditional culture, which is the national spirit that combines the national confidence and national pride、So the government has the responsibility to strengthen the education to make more people, particularly the young, better know and like our own traditional culture, thus building up national confidence and national pride to carry forward the Chinese excellent traditions、。
