According to the survey, the Chinese people eat about 600 kinds of vegetables, six times the West. China's table culture is a microcosm of farming culture, therefore, Chinese dishes, cattle and sheep pork and vegetables as the main ingredients. And many Western countries, surrounded by the ocean around the typical marine culture, so in the Western table, fish and shrimp and other materials have become the main body.

Therefore, through the investigation of different countries diet, you can understand the cultural connotation of its nation, and better conducive to cross-cultural exchanges.Tea ceremony, one of China's national essence, has a long history in China. As the exchange of Chinese and Western culture, tea ceremony was extended to the Western countries, of which the most popular in the UK. Tea ceremony in the British British people in the life of the greatest enjoyment, as if before getting up to drink a cup of hot tea.

But the food of each, do not disturb each other, the lack of some Chinese people talk about the mood of music.To smooth the exchange of Western culture, to achieve foreign use, the development of their own, China should find the reasons for differences with the West, targeted to improve the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication.
