中西婚礼差异英文版Differences Between Chinese Marriage Custom and Western Marriage CustomAbstractThere are many procedures in Chinese marriage custom。
The book propriety and ceremony, which records earliest wedding ceremony, says that marriage includes six etiquettes, namely，proposing，asking the name，asking for fortune，sending betrothal presents to the girl's family，discussing the date of marriage and meeting the bride. In western marriage, there are four procedures. They are proposal, changing surnames，choosing the day and holding the wedding. As the different religions, cultural origins, marriage concepts and geographies, there are many differences existing in the two kinds of marriage customs. In Chinese marriage custom，the matchmaker functions almost all the time and youths have no right to choose and women are not on an equal footing with men. By contrast，in western marriage custom，the priest functions and the youths have legal right to choose whom they want to marry and men and women are equal. There also exist common things in the two sides. They have been maintained for thousands of years. But in recent years (especially after the founding of modern China)，people have tended to discard some of the details and advocate simplified marriage procedures and wedding ceremonies。

戒指在婚姻中象征着爱的承诺。最早佩 戴结婚戒指的大概是古埃及人：在象形文 字中，圆圈是永恒的象征。金属环也表示 被俘人身上的镣铐。在现代的中西方婚礼 中婚戒也是必不可少的一部分。
中西方的婚礼中有 等数的伴(bridesmaid) 和伴郎(best man) 以及 花童(flower girls )。这 种观念源于一种信仰， 即嫉妒新人幸福的邪恶 幽灵会冒出来伤害他们， 但如果婚礼上有许多着 装类似的人，就能迷惑 幽灵。

中西方在婚俗上面有以上种种 的差异，这和中西方人在思想思维 的差异有直接的联系。中国人比较 保守，喜欢热闹，所以在中国历史 几千年的时间里整个婚礼的习俗并 没有多大的变化。近代西方的文化 传入以后，中国的传统文化才开始 向西方转化，但在很大的程度上仍 有中国传统婚俗的礼仪。
相似的习俗
中西方的婚俗有相似的地方。例如，中 国古代有抛绣球(throw an embroidered ball) 迎亲的习俗；而西方的新郎新娘在教堂举行 婚礼后，会把手中的鲜花抛向空中，如果有 人接到的话就预示着他将很快结婚。
中西方婚礼上都有一位主持,西方国家的 通常是神父或牧师,而中国则是专门的婚庆 司仪,其主要任务就是使婚礼更加热闹,亲戚 朋友更加开心。

Western couples invite people to their home.The Chinese bride and groom are usually chosen by their parents; if they disobey their parents' wish, they can be social outcasts, lose their jobs and so on. Marriage in China is thus more of a social contract between families than a binding of love. This is one reason to why out of wedlock relations are so common in China. And it is also a reason to why Chinese girls look for foreigner. Note that children born out of wedlock have no rights in China; no right to go to school, no right to medical care and so on; this is what the 5000 year old culture so proudly call human interestIn shortCultural traditions range from dress to participation.

中西方婚姻习俗比较分析英文
中西方婚姻习俗比较分析英文Another difference lies in the wedding ceremonies and traditions. In China, weddings are usually elaborate and consist of several customs that must be followed. The Chinese wedding ceremony often includes rituals such as tea ceremonies, exchange of wedding vows, and the gifting of red envelopes. These traditions symbolize the respect and blessings from the parents and family. In the United States, weddings are often more casual and less formal. Couples often exchange vows and rings in a simple ceremony, followed by a reception that includes dancing, dinner, and toasts.Additionally, the role of religion in wedding ceremonies varies between the East and the West. In China, traditional wedding ceremonies are often influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, depending on the region. These religious beliefs are incorporated into the customs and rituals of the wedding. In contrast, Western wedding ceremonies are often conducted in a religious setting, such as a church, with religious elements incorporated into the ceremony based on the couple's faith.In terms of gender roles, there are also differences between the East and the West. In China, traditional gender roles are still prevalent, where men are expected to be the breadwinners and women are expected to take care of the household and children. However, this is gradually evolving with theincreasing empowerment of women and the influence of Western ideals. In Western culture, gender roles are generally less rigid, and both men and women are expected to contribute to the household and share responsibilities.In conclusion, there are significant differences between the marriage customs in the East and the West. In China, marriage is often seen as a union between two families, with a strong emphasis on tradition and fulfilling family expectations. On the other hand, in the Western culture, marriage is primarily viewed as a union based on love and individual choice. Wedding ceremonies, the role of parents, religious influences, and gender roles also vary between the two cultures. Understanding and appreciating these differences can help foster cultural understanding and acceptance.。
中西方婚礼区别和相同之处英语作文
中西方婚礼区别和相同之处英语作文Title: Comparative Analysis of Chinese and Western Wedding CustomsIn the vast tapestry of human cultures, weddings stand as celebratory milestones, uniting not just two individuals but also their respective families and traditions. While the essence of weddings across the globe revolves around love, commitment, and the beginning of a new chapter, the customs and rituals differ significantly between Eastern and Western societies, particularly when comparing Chinese and Western weddings. This essay delves into these differences and uncovers the surprising similarities that exist amidst the diversity.**Differences:**1. **Ceremonial Structure:** One of the primary distinctions lies in the structure of the ceremonies. Western weddings typically follow a clear sequence: the wedding ceremony in a church or outdoor setting, followed by a reception. In contrast, traditional Chinese weddings encompass a series of rituals spread over several days,including the proposal with gifts (Guo Da Li), the bridal chamber decoration (An Chuang), and the actual wedding day ceremonies.2. **Symbolism and Rituals:** Each culture imbues its weddings with unique symbolism. Western weddings often feature the exchange of rings as a symbol of eternal love, while Chinese weddings include the tea ceremony, where the couple serves tea to their elders as a sign of respect andto receive blessings.3. **Dress Code:** The attire worn during the ceremonies also differs. Western brides traditionally wear white gowns symbolizing purity, whereas Chinese brides often opt forred dresses, symbolizing luck, prosperity, and happiness.4. **Guest Participation:** Western weddings encourage active guest participation, from the tossing of the bouquet to speeches and dances. Chinese weddings, on the other hand, tend to be more formal, with guests witnessing the rituals rather than actively participating.**Similarities:**Despite these differences, there are fundamental commonalities:1. **Family and Community Involvement:** Both Chinese and Western weddings emphasize the importance of family and community. Families play crucial roles in planning and executing the events, and gatherings serve to strengthen bonds within and between families.2. **Exchange of Vows and Rings:** Although thespecifics vary, both traditions involve the exchange of vows and some form of a token—rings in the West, and sometimes jewelry or other meaningful items in Chinese weddings—to symbolize the commitment being made.3. **Feasting and Celebration:** Celebrations in both cultures culminate in a feast, where guests gather to enjoy food, drinks, and merriment, marking the joyous union with toasts and well wishes.4. **Lasting Commitment:** At the heart of it all, Chinese and Western weddings alike celebrate the love between two people and their decision to commit to each other for life.In conclusion, while Chinese and Western weddingsexhibit rich and diverse customs, they share a universal theme of love, unity, and the celebration of new beginnings. These ceremonies, though differing in details, ultimately serve as testaments to the enduring human desire for connection and the creation of shared memories.---**中西方婚礼习俗的比较分析**在全球文化的广阔画卷中，婚礼作为庆祝的里程碑，不仅联结了两个人，也融合了各自家庭与传统。

As the different religions, cultural origins, marriage concepts and geographies, there are many differences existing in the two kinds of marriage customs. In Chinese marriage custom, the matchmaker functions almost all the time and youths have no right to choose and women are not on an equal footing with men. By contrast, in western marriage custom, the priest functions and the youths have legal right to choose whom they want to marry and men and women are equal. There also exist common things in the two sides. They have been maintained for thousands of years. But in recent years (especially after the founding of modern China), people have tended to discard some of the details and advocate simplifiedmarriage procedures and wedding ceremonies.Key Words：Marriage custom; differences; reasons摘要中国婚俗有着许多的仪式。
