• 点评：这图是说我们中国人喜欢尝试新事 物吗，老外则与新事物保持一定的距离？ 如果是这样的话，我想，还是那四个字： 不敢苟同。其实，中国人在对待新事物上 面，还是（我认为）非常保守的。
11、胃痛时的饮品
• 点评：我们中国人最讲究的不一定是科学， 而是老祖宗传下来的话。那就是胃痛时要 至少喝点热的。至于为什么？那得问我们 的中医去。他们的学问，那真是“话到嘴 边留半句”，深奥着呢。
12、旅游时
• 评：其实，这有些冤枉我们中国人。毕竟 我们中国人才富裕起来几年啊，终于可以 像小日本儿那样了，走到哪里都拍照了。 另外，中国人喜欢的不是思考生命的意义， 而是“到此一游”的意义。毕竟，有照片 可以说明俺老兄到过什么什么地方了。尤 其是去了国外，则更是要用照片说明。
1、表达个人观点时
• 点评：中国人在表达个人观点时，总喜欢拐弯抹 角。“是”时不说“是”，却说“不是”。“不 是”时不说“不是”，却总说“是”。生活中发 生的实际状况。并且，最有趣的是，一个中国人 如果像那老外那样直来直去地说出自己的观点的 话（如上图所示），则会被认为“没有城府”， 属于“直肠子”，是要吃亏的。事实上，中国人 的处事哲学中最重要的一点就是“话到嘴边留半 句”。因此，在老外眼中来看，中国人表达意思 时，总令他们费解。
9、聚会
• 点评：老外永远不会明白为什么中国人那 么喜欢过春节了，也永远闹不明白为什么 中国话里的“团圆”代表着多么深厚的文 化意涵。说他们没文化，我举双手赞成。 而他们却永远是在我们过团团圆圆的节日 聚会时，一个人跑到什么地方去感受一下 什么“生命的意义”去了。看看那巨大的 “圆”，这不正是一个最好的中国文化 “图腾”吗？我们中国人要什么？不就是 要个团圆么！
18、洗澡时间
• 点评：一看这老外就不太懂中国人的生活 习惯。要知道，晚上洗澡之后再睡觉，那 是一件多么愉悦的事情。而你老外白天当 不当正不正地洗哪门子澡呢。不懂生活。 另外，咱们中国人还有大多数的农民，他 们的洗澡时间，我想，绝对不是你老外能 弄明白的，小样。

中美文化差异
文化是指一个社会所具有的独特的信仰、习惯、制度、性格、思维方式等的总模式，是一个社会的整个生活方式，一个民族的全部活动方式。
它为一个语言社会的全体成员所共有，也为这个语言社会所独有。
文化既是一种社会现象，是人们长期创造形成的产物，又是一种历史现象，是社会历史的积淀物。
虽然随着全球经济一体化及社会信息化的发展，人类赖以生存的家园正变得越来越像个“地球村”，中美两国间的文化交流也日趋频繁，但是中美文化差异依然存在。
一、中美文化差异现象 中国有着五千年的文化和历史的沉淀，而在地球另一端的美国是一个多民族的国家，却只有200多年的历史。
中美之间的文化差异是巨大的，它是两国人民交流和理解的障碍和鸿沟。
中美之间的文化差异是复杂而多面的。
(一)文化观念的差异 中国的传统文化是以儒家思想为核心，历来主张尊卑有别，长幼有序，也就是说，凡事都要遵循一定的规矩，并受到等级观念的制约。
例如，晚辈见到长辈为表尊重要主动打招呼；学生要尊敬老师。
而美国文化主要承袭了基督教中的新教思想，等级观念淡薄。
美国人更注重个人权益，追求人人平等，没有辈份间过多的礼节。
子女对父母、学生对教师都直呼其名，子女可以与父母争论问题．或提出自己个性主张。
在独具特色的中国文化中，人情占很重要的地位。
人情在中国社会中有其一定的社会结构性，人情与面子是相互联系的，讲情面的人会将心比心、以心换心地回报别人的情谊。
因此，在中国文化中．自我评价是在人与人之间的亲情及互相交往的情谊中建立和实现的。
中国人强调家族及阶级层次。
中华文化崇尚集体主义。
人们之间相互信赖，团结合作，当个人利益与集体利益相矛盾时，集体利益总被放在首位。
在衡量个人行为时，往往是以道德为准则，注重和谐、群体利益的维护，这与美国文化截然不同。
美国人崇尚个人自由，强调个人潜力的发挥，个人目标的实现及个人利益的追求，信奉法律至上。
在美国，人与人之间多为互利关系，表现出人情较为淡漠，但却十分重视个人利益和自由，个人自我意识较强。

中西方礼仪差异 ppt课件
东方礼仪与西方礼仪 中西方礼仪存在哪些差异？
请思考，并举例
东方礼仪与西方礼仪
案例： 1、李鸿章曾应俾斯麦之邀前往赴宴，由于不懂西餐礼
仪，把一碗水果后洗手的水喝了。当时俾斯麦不了解中国的 虚实，为了不使李鸿章丢丑，他也将洗手水一饮而尽，见此 情景，其他文武百官只能忍笑奉陪。
2、一个国民党军官携夫人去机场迎接来自美国的顾问， 双方见面后，美国顾问出于礼貌说：“您夫人真漂亮！”军官 甚感尴尬又不免客套一番：“哪里哪里！”在中国，这本事一 句很普通的客套话，可是蹩脚的翻译却把这句话翻译成： “WHERE WHERE!”美国顾问听了莫名其妙，心想：我只是 礼貌地称赞一下他的夫人，他居然问为他夫人哪里漂亮？于 是他只好说：“从头到脚都漂亮”
东方礼仪与西方礼仪
1、“天人合一”与“天人两分”思想体系的影响
中国：天人合一 儒家思想在中国长期以来占统治地位，它提倡“以类
和之，天人合一”的思想。由于对自然规律的顺从和对 自然的迷信、惧怕和崇拜，是人们不得不力求形成一个 和谐稳定的群体去适应自然，认为人只有回归自然，将 自我融入人群体和自然之中，生命才有意义，人与自然 才能达成“和谐”。“天人合一”思想必然会导致群体注意 的价值取向。
东方礼仪与西方礼仪
2、群体主义和个人主义价值取向的影响
中国：群体主义
中国文化认为每个人不是孤立的独立个体，而 是群体网络上的一份子。为了保持和谐的群体不至 于分解离散，为了维护巩固良好的人际关系，群体 之间形成了一些道德准则和价值观念来约束人们的 行为，在以群体注意为取向的中国社会，人们的一 言一行必须符合社会和群体的期望，谦卑和“卑己 尊人”的礼貌行为是人人所崇尚的，“礼”文化教导 人们要尊敬长者和有地位者，懂得礼让，维护上下 尊卑的社会秩序。

Differences between the Chinese and American cultures 中美文化比较

中国有着悠久的历史，经过长时间的文化积淀逐渐形成具有中国特色的传统文化。
美国虽然历史不长，但是美国文化已经成为世界的主流文化之一。
今天我们将从教育、宗教、饮食等方面来对比中美文化之间的异同，提高我们跨文化交际的能力。

China is a country that has a long history，in the long period cultural accumulation，the traditional culture with Chinese characteristics came into being。
Although the United S tates don’t have such a long history，American culture has become one of the mainstream culture in the world。
Today we’ll Compare the similarities and differences between Chinese and American cultures from three aspects:religion，education and food。
In this way，we can improve our ability of cross-culture communication。
Key words：China,America,similarities,differences,education,religion,food Differences between the Chinese and American culturesAs we know ,there are many differences between Chinese and American cultures. If we desire to learn about U.S or communicate with Americans in proper way ,it is necessary for us to know about cross-cultural communication. Cross-cultural communication (also referred to as intercultural communication) is a field of study that focus on how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themselves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Only if we are familiar with the similarities and differences can we avoid cultural conflicts and get along well with foreign friends. When you are conc erned about what you can do and what you can’t, your foreign friends will show respect for your national culture and there is no doubt that you can enhance the level of cross-culture communication .In the essay,I’ll talk about similarities and differences in three aspects between Chinese and American culture :religion ,food and festival.1.religionAmerica is remarkable now, as in the past,for its attachment to the principle of freedom of belief or disbelief . –The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States indicates that "Congress shall make no law establishing religion, orprohibit the free exercise thereof."So you can choose your indivisual relision.According to the research, The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practiced by the majority of the population (76% in 2008)；Speaking in general terms, the contemporary American is a Christian country. A research indicates that most Americans believe the existence of Santa Clous, Christ Jesus and angel even after they have received edu cation and become adults. It’s easy to see the ingrained status of Christianity in the United States of America. Christianity has the idea that people have original sin, because human ancestors, Adam and eva had sinned, corrupt moral invaded their body, and transmitted to their descendants, the result is that all mankind have sin. Obviously, Christianity preached that man and God, the separation of man and nature. China is a multi-religious country, and Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christian are the main religions in the country. Incomplete statistics show that there are more than 100 million religious followers in China with over 85 000 religious sites, over 3000 religious groups and some 74 religious colleges. Chinese people also enjoy the freedom of religious belief according to law, and regular religious activities are protected by the Constitution. All religious believers and non-religious people in the country respect for each other in beliefs and customs and live together in harmonies. While Chinese religion would emphasize that the harmony between man and nature, issues of life within a confined themselves, to solve problems with people- oriented. It’s quite different from the Christianity.2.foodGenerally speaking, we Chinese think food is very important to man. People often associate food with important holidays and the chance to meet distinguished guests. The Chinese food not only is very delicious and tasty but also very pleasing to your senses and many of dishes have very beautiful and fancy names. The Chinese have the food culture of our own which are quite different from westerners. In the west, people pay more attention to the nutrition of food rather than the looks of it. The cuisine and table manners are quite different from ours in a great extent.It is a very common practice we Chinese people say "Have you had your meal?" when they meeteach other around the time before or after meals. In fact, it is a kind of greeting to communicate with each other. But foreigners cannot understand that because they think why you ask me this. They tend to think you want to invite me to dinner or I am not rich enough to feed myself regularly but that is my business not yours. Chinese think food is very important and essential to people so it shows some care and concern about you. Very often it puzzles foreigners a lot that we ask and talk so much when we order our food in the restaurant. One reason is we ask what the food or the dish is and try to clarify it because you sometimes never know what the food is just according the name of the food until it is put on your table in the restaurant just. While most of western food has a simple and clear name and you know what it is when you hear the name. For instance, there is a traditional food call "fish and chips" in the UK. You see it is very obvious it is fried fish and potato chips. The reason for this in China is on the one hand to try to tell you the way it cooks such as cook, fry, grill and broil in the name and on the other it has beautiful good names so that you have a good imagination and association to let you have a good appetite.Generally speaking, we don't use much tableware when we have our meal in China. Mainly we have bowl, dishes, chopsticks and spoons, which we don't use very often. In serving English meals, they use so much tableware with different kinds and sizes. The Chinese do not know how to use them properly when they are invited to dinner in English family. For example there are different kinds of names for glasses in English, such as wine glass, cherry glass, brandy glass, beer glass, snifter glass, champion flute and high bowl. You can see tableware also show the food culture of different countries.cationUs’s higher education was considered as the best education in the world. Comparing the elementary education between American and China, people's universal view will be: China's elementary education aims to build the foundation of education with more study and less thought; while US's education aims to bulid such an education to raise the creativity with less study and more thought. the Chinesestudents study more, actually pay little attention to the practice, and cannot study for the purpose of 's education pays more attention to raise student's self-confidence,independence,spirit of supporting oneself, but China's education emphases on training the students to be strict,rigorous spiritual. When American school inspects the result of student, they emphasize more on the ability to analyze and solve the question but not the ability of memory or description. The American students donot need the mechanical memorizing, but display creative thought as far as possible; This can cultivate student's study interest, raise the ability of doing it byself and make the study be one kind of creative action.Conclusion:Chinese culure is broad and profound,but American culture also has its unique and style.After learning this class,I have a general impression on American culture,there are quite differences between Chinese and American culture.I think that it’s beneficial to be familiar to this differences for our cross-cultual communication.References[1]Luther S.Luedtke<The Society and Culture of the United States>America:United States information Agency,2003[2]托马斯﹒里克纳《美式家庭——品质教育家长对策》海南：海南出版社，2001年(2)[3]章创生《美国爸爸中国爸爸——向美国家长学教子》重庆：重庆出版社，2011(6)[4]董小川《美国文化概论》.北京：人民出版社，2006[5]铁梅《道教——中国道家文化百科999问》青海：青海人民出版社，2012(1)[6]赵林《西方宗教文化》武昌：武汉大学出版社，2011年(6)[7]学晏《佛家与管理》北京：社会科学文献出版社，2012年(6)[8]徐怀启《古代基督教史》上海：上海人民出版社，2012（6）[9]（美）米拉德﹒丁.艾利克森《基督教神学导论》上海：人民出版社，2012（6）[10]李维冰《中国饮食文化概论》北京：中国商业出版社，2006（6）[11]美国饮食文化，/view/2143412.htm。
用英语形容中国和美国文化的差异作文
用英语形容中国和美国文化的差异作文Title: Exploring the Divergent Landscapes of Chineseand American CulturesIn the vast tapestry of global civilizations, the cultures of China and the United States stand out as two distinct and vibrant threads. Each, with its unique history, traditions, and values, has shaped the identity and character of its respective society. Delving into the nuances of these cultures, one finds a tapestry of differences that are as fascinating as they are profound.The Chinese culture, rooted in thousands of years of civilization, is marked by a deep respect for tradition and ancestor worship. The values of harmony, collectivism, and respect for hierarchy are ingrained in Chinese society. Family plays a pivotal role, with filial piety and family honor being highly valued. The concept of "face" or "mianzi" is central to social interactions, dictating behavior and expectations in various social settings.In contrast, American culture is shaped by its history as a nation of immigrants, where individualism, innovation,and competitiveness are prized. The pursuit of the American Dream, the ideal of success and prosperity through hardwork and personal initiative, is a powerful motivator in American society. The emphasis on personal freedoms and rights, as enshrined in the Constitution, forms the backbone of American cultural values.The differences in social structure and norms are also evident. In China, social relationships are often based on guanxi, a complex web of personal connections and favorsthat can influence decision-making and outcomes. This contrasts with the more impersonal and formal nature of American social interactions, where rules and procedures tend to prevail over personal relationships.In the realm of aesthetics and art, Chinese culture is known for its subtlety, balance, and harmony. Theprinciples of feng shui, the ancient art of arrangingspaces to promote positive energy, reflect this aestheticin daily life. Chinese art, whether in the form of painting, calligraphy, or pottery, often embodies these principles of balance and harmony. On the other hand, American culture tends to value directness, dynamism, and innovation in itsartistic expressions. From the vibrant street art of urban centers to the cutting-edge innovations in film and technology, American art and culture reflect a penchant for experimentation and novelty.The differences in dietary cultures are also noteworthy. Chinese cuisine, with its vast array of flavors and cooking techniques, is renowned for its complexity and delicacy.The emphasis on balance and harmony extends to the dining table, where dishes are often paired to complement eachother's flavors. In contrast, American cuisine tends to be more straightforward and casual, with a focus on convenience and variety. The fast-paced lifestyle of American society often reflects in its dining habits, witha preference for quick and easy meal options.In the realm of holidays and festivals, both cultures have their unique celebrations. Chinese festivals, such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, are filled with traditions and rites that celebrate family, ancestors, and the cycles of nature. These festivals often involve elaborate preparations and gatherings, reflecting the importance of community and togetherness in Chinese culture.On the other hand, American holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving are centered around family reunions and feasting, but with a stronger emphasis on individual expression and celebration.In conclusion, the cultural differences between China and the United States are vast and multifaceted. These differences, while significant, also contribute to the rich tapestry of global cultures. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding and respecting these cultural differences is crucial for fostering mutual understanding and harmonious coexistence. By exploring and appreciating the unique characteristics of each culture, we can gain a deeper understanding of the human diversity that makes our world so vibrant and fascinating.。

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"。
对外交往中的西方礼节与风俗习惯文化主要是指人类所创造的物质财富和精神财富以及社会化行为的积淀，它包括信仰、艺术、道德、风俗、习惯等，是一个复杂的总体，具有鲜明的时代性、民族性和地域性。
生活在某一地区的每个成员，都会自觉或不自觉地受到该地区文化的熏陶和影响，对该地区的文化有着天然的认同感，并形成共同的文化心理特征。
在对外交流和交往过程中，了解作为西方文化重要组成部分的西方礼节与风俗习惯可以帮助我们跨越由于文化障碍所造成的鸿沟，成功而迅速地达到交际的目的。
中国文化和美国文化的差异英文
中国文化和美国文化的差异英文Differences between Chinese and American CulturesCulture is shaped by many factors such as history, customs, traditions, and values. China and the United States are two major countries with rich cultural heritages. Although globalization has brought people from different countries closer together, there are still significant differences between Chinese and American cultures. In this essay, I will discuss some of the most prominent contrasts between the two cultures.Family values and structure also differ greatly between the two cultures. In Chinese culture, family is considered the cornerstone of society, with strong filial piety and respect for elders. The Chinese tend to have a collective responsibility for their family members and prioritize their needs and well-being. In contrast, American culture places more emphasis on independence and individuality. Family units in the United States tend to be more nuclear, with greater autonomy and less involvement from extended family members.Religion and spirituality also differ between the two cultures. China has a long-standing history of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, with a focus on moral principles, social harmony, and personal enlightenment. Religion plays asignificant role in shaping Chinese culture and society. In contrast, the United States has a more diverse religiouslandscape, with Christianity being the predominant faith. The United States is known for its religious freedom, where individuals have the freedom to practice their own religion or have no religion at all.。
中西方文化差异(汉译英)
（翻译要求：英文单词字数达到4000字）中西方文化差异摘要：随着经济全球化的不断发展，中西方国家之间的交流与合作越来越密切。
由于中西文化差异一直是制约中西方国家的人们进行交流的重要因素，对中西文化差异缺乏必要的了解，在交际过程中就会遇到一些交际障碍和误解。
分析和比较中西方在饮食、礼仪、语言方面的文化差异，了解和熟悉中西方文化内涵和特点，才能增强对他国文化的适应力，促进双方文化的融合汇通，从而实现跨文化交际。
关键词中西文化差异比较促进交流前言文化是人类社会特有的现象，是人们社会实践的产物。
文化又是一个非常广泛的概念，它包括一个国家或民族的历史、地理、风土人情、传统习俗、生活方式、文学艺术、行为规范、思维特点和价值观念等。
中西方文化都有着悠久的民族传统，在漫长的社会发展和历史沉淀中也都创造了千秋各异的辉煌。
饮食、礼仪和语言是中西方国家的人们在日常交际中首先接触到的东西，它们犹如一面镜子，反映着一个民族的文化传统，揭示民族文化的内容。
不同的民族文化造就了中西方在饮食、礼仪和语言文化等方面的差异。
在当今跨国域、跨民族的经济、文化和社会交往与日俱增的时代，如何发扬中国民族传统文化，与西方文化进行合理有效的融合，已成为人们思考和探讨的话题。
因此，深入了解中西方文化差异的表现及找出其深层次的原因,避免文化冲突显得非常必要。
一、饮食文化的差异不同的民族和国家都有各自的饮食文化特色，具有浓郁的民族性和多样性的特点。
中西方烹调方式和饮食习惯受气候环境、生活习俗等因素的影响也存在不同程度的差异。
下面我们就从营养口味、烹调方式、餐饮习惯等方面来了解中西饮食文化的差异。
(一)营养口味的差异。
西方饮食是一种理性观念，烹调讲究营养而忽视味道。
他们生吃西红柿、青瓜、生菜，甚至是洋白菜、西兰花等蔬菜，认为蔬菜只有生吃才能保证它原有的营养和原有的味道，而生炒煎煮会破坏蔬菜的维生素。
他们食用半生不熟的牛排、猪排和炸鸡，以冷饮佐餐，翻来覆去总是那么几个花样，一道菜在不同的地区不同的季节面对不同的食者都是同一味道，因而厨师的工作就成为一种极其单调的机械性工作，有如自动化装配线上的一名工人，甚至可由一机器人来代行其职。

左：西方人 右：中国人
1、表达个人观点时
问候用语：中国人打招呼，一般都以对方处境或动向为思维出 发点。如：您去哪里？您是上班还是下班？
而西方人往往认为这些纯属个人私事，不能随便问。所以他们 见面打招呼总是说：Hi／Hello！Good morning／afternoon／ evening／night！How are you？It's a lovely day，isn't it？

中美常用口语的异同
“山羊”一词，在汉语里没有什么特殊意义，而goat在英语中 却表示“色鬼”的意思。那么“山羊牌闹钟”就变成“色鬼牌 闹钟”了。
美国人说：Excuse me.原谅我，中国人说，劳您驾。或者借 （您的）光。
父母同辈中的称谓：英文“uncle”和“aunt”，而中文“伯伯、 叔叔、舅舅等，姑妈、姨妈等”。
还有，英文中的表示下辈的“nephew和 niece”是不分侄甥的， 表示同辈的“cousin”不分堂表、性别。
考虑问题的主体：中国人喜欢以对方为中心，考虑对方的情感。 比如：你想买什么？您想借什么书？而英语中，往往从自身的 角度出发。如：Can I help you？What can I do for you？
面对恭维：中国人的传统美德是谦虚谨慎，对别人的恭维和夸 奖应是推辞。如：“您的英语讲得真好。” “哪里，哪里，一 点也不行。” “菜做得很好吃。”“过奖，过奖，做得不好， 请原谅。”

我国文化产业的内部结构
15Biblioteka 我国文化产业竞争力的国际比较
❖ 在许多发达国家，文化产业已成为国民经济的主导产业。 从消费角度来看，在美国与西欧一些国家，文化消费已占到 家庭消费的30％以上，而在我国，家庭消费支出仅有14．8 ％用于文化消费。从生产角度看，美国文化产业增加值占 GDP的20％以上；在英国，2001年文化创意产业产值达l 120亿英镑，占英国GDP的8．2％；日本文化产业的产业规 模比电子业和汽车业还要大，2000年达到85万亿日元，占 GDP的17％，仅动漫业的年产值就在国民经济中占到第六位。 而我国文化产业(包括相关产业)总增加值仅占GDP的4％， 与发达国家还有相当大的差距。与此同时，我国文化产业的 综合竞争力的国际排名也相对落后，不仅远远低于美国、英 国、德国等发达国家，即便与同为发展中国家的印度相比也 存在差距。因此，我国的文化产业在国际上仍然处于相对落 后的水平 。

当前，文化不仅是衡量一国综合竞争力的重要标准，更成为了财富与价值创造的生产力之 一。文化在经济发展中起着至关重要的作用，它既是间接的生产力又是直接的生产力。文 化首先是由知识、价值观、信念、社会道德、行为标准等意识形态所构成的间接生产力， 当这种意识形态通过一定的传导方式融入到人力资本与物质资本中去，并通过人力、物质资 本在生产中发挥其作用，以此推动经济增长时，它便成为直接生产力。作为生产文化产品的 经济主体，文化产业正逐渐成为各国经济新的增长点。进入21世纪后，人民的消费需求逐步 升级，对文化产品的需求逐渐提高，文化产业在世界各国GDP中所占的比重越来越大，在许 多发达国家，文化产业甚至成为国民经济的主导产业。发展文化产业是经济社会发展的必然 要求。未来学家阿尔温·托夫勒在20年前曾经预言：一个高技术的社会必然也是一个高文化 的社会。目前我国经济社会高速发展，人们对文化产品的需求急剧增长，文化产业注定要在 构建和谐社会进程中发挥重要作用。
