中西饮食文化
中西饮食文化篇一：浅谈中西饮食文化差异浅谈中西饮食文化差异【摘要】在世界全球化的今天，国家和民族间的交流亦越发频繁。
而“吃”作为一种可以拉近彼此距离的交流手段，理应加以重视。
“吃的文化”即饮食文化，也是文化交流中不也或缺的重要部分。
本文将就中西饮食文化从饮食观念、宴会礼仪及饮食内容三大方面加以比较，展示中西餐饮文化差异，以便更加顺利的进行中西间的跨文化交际。
【关键词】中西方饮食文化差异不同的民族及国家有着不同的饮食文化，而饮食文化又是文化系统的一个重要组成部分。
了解不同民族及国家饮食文化间的差异有利于促进他们间的文化交流，利于跨文化的交际。
而中国和英美等西方国家的饮食文化，在对于饮食的观念，宴会礼仪及饮食内容方面都存在着很大的差异。
比较和了解这些差异，将会为中西方将来的跨文化交际提供依据。
1饮食观念上的差异1.1“泛食主义”对“食用主义”在中国，“吃”不仅仅是“吃”，它被赋予了丰富的意义。
古语有云“民以食为天”，可见饮食一事在国人心中的重要地位。
而“民以食为天”的这种思想，也被很多学者称为“泛食主义”。
饮食，在国人心中不止是一种对“胃”与“味”的满足，它亦溶于人们的生活之中，与精神世界挂钩。
例如，以前人们一见面的寒暄语就是“吃了吗？”，可见古来人们都把“吃”或为“吃而准备当作很重要的事。
”小孩出生的时候要办满月酒，成人结婚时要办婚宴，高寿安康时要办寿宴，长辞人世时要办丧礼，诸如此类，中国人的一生都与饮食紧密关。
“吃”可以被看做一种传递心理沟通交流和表达礼节的方式。
“泛食主义”在汉语i也有充分的体现。
易中天先生曾在《闲话中国人》中写道：“如前述把人称为‘口’，吧职业称为‘饭碗’等。
又比如思索叫做‘拒绝’，体验叫‘品味’，嫉妒叫‘吃醋’，幸福叫‘陶醉’，司空见惯叫‘家常便饭’，轻而易举叫‘小菜一碟’??”1 可见“民以食为天”的中国人心中及生活中，饮食的重要性。
而在西方人眼中，“吃”仅仅是一种生存手段和交际方式。
中西方饮食文化的差异与相似
中西方饮食文化的差异与相似饮食文化是人类的重要组成部分，不仅反映了人们的生活习惯和文化传承，也体现了不同国家和地区的独特魅力。
在世界范围内，中西方饮食文化存在着不同的差异和相似之处。
本文将就这一问题展开探讨。
一、饮食文化差异中西方饮食文化差异主要表现在饮食习惯、餐桌礼仪和食材搭配上。
1. 饮食习惯不同中西方人的饮食习惯有着显著的差异，比如西方人习惯在早晨吃甜食或蛋糕，而中国人则大都喜欢早餐吃面食或米饭。
此外，西方人会吃生的生牛肉、生蚝甚至生鱼片等生冷食品，而中国人则讲究熟食。
在煮汤的时候，西方人往往是把所有食材在一起煮熟，而中国人则十分注重煮汤技法，用不同的火候、时间和食材搭配，以做出口感鲜美的汤品。
2. 餐桌礼仪不同除了习惯上的差异，中西方的餐桌礼仪也存在很大的不同。
如用具的使用，中国人用筷子而不是西餐用具；餐桌上的言行举止，中国人不习惯说笑打闹，而西方人则不禁开玩笑、讲故事；倒酒的方式，中国人注重沟通，要想尊重客人，常常轻轻敲碗，以示请客人喝酒，而西方人则直接倒酒，往往直接与客人碰杯。
3. 食材搭配不同中西方食材的搭配也有着显著的不同，特别是对于各类肉类的搭配方法。
中方烹调部分会选择对荤素搭配，鱼肉则精选好鲜活的食材为宜以普及家宴，而在西方的传统烹饪中，肉类搭配往往重口味，讲究用豆酱等调料去除腥味。
在食材的选择上，中国人以天然的绿色蔬菜、鲜奶、豆腐、果汁等为主，西方人则以养分高，色香味美的葡萄、芒果、水果、蔬菜、果汁等为主。
二、饮食文化相似虽然中西方饮食文化存在着很大的差异，但是在一些方面，它们又存在着不可忽视的相似之处。
1. 对食物的追求与珍惜中西方人都有一种对食物的追求和珍惜之心。
中国菜在选料和烤制炒炖加以精致，而西方人则热衷于寻找新的口味和美食；中方以健康与营养为重，西方则更头重脚轻，食材挑选更注重从生活体验感出发；不过无论是中西方，都非常珍惜食材，尤其对于粮食与肉类的重视。
2. 文化交融的趋势随着经济全球化的发展，中西方饮食文化之间的融合已经越来越明显。
论中西方饮食文化差异
论中西方饮食文化差异中西方饮食文化差异中西方饮食文化是由于地理、气候、历史、宗教、经济等多种因素的影响所形成的。
这些差异体现在食材的选择、烹饪方法、餐桌礼仪和饮食观念等方面。
下面将介绍中西方饮食文化的一些显著差异。
中西方在食材选择方面有很大的差异。
中餐注重“五谷杂粮”和“荤素搭配”，如大米、小麦、玉米、豆类、蔬菜、肉类等常见于中餐中。
而西餐更注重肉类和奶制品，如牛肉、猪肉、鸡肉、鱼肉、奶酪等。
这主要是因为中西方人们的主食习惯不同，中餐主要以米饭和面食为主，而西餐则以面包、意大利面等为主。
中西方餐桌礼仪有显著差异。
在中餐文化中，家庭成员一起吃饭，强调家庭的团聚和温馨。
家人之间会相互传菜，共同分享食物，表示家庭成员之间的亲密关系。
而在西餐文化中，餐桌上的食物是个人的，不会互相传递。
用餐时西方人会使用刀、叉、勺等餐具，而中国人更习惯使用筷子。
中西方在烹饪方法上也有很大的差异。
中餐注重火候的掌握，追求色、香、味俱佳，常用的烹饪方法包括炒、煮、炖、蒸、炸等。
而西餐更注重原料的味道和质地本身，常使用烤、煎、炸、蒸等方法进行烹饪。
这体现了中西方人们对于食物味道和质地的不同追求。
中西方饮食观念的差异也是显著的。
中餐注重营养均衡，强调荤素搭配，追求五味调和。
而西餐注重各种食材的原汁原味，追求单一食材的原味，鲜香美味。
中西方饮食文化存在很大的差异。
中餐注重五谷杂粮和荤素搭配，家庭成员一起共享食物，强调团聚和温馨；西餐注重肉类和奶制品，食物个人使用，追求原料的味道和质地本身。
这些差异是由于地理、气候、历史、宗教和经济等多种因素的影响所形成的。
随着全球化的发展，中西方饮食文化也逐渐融合。
人们对于不同文化的饮食方式有着更加开放和包容的态度，使得中西方的饮食文化相互影响、相互融合，创造出更多美食，并丰富了人们的餐桌。

中西方饮食文化差异论文
中西方饮食文化差异论文中西方饮食文化差异在当今全球化的时代，中西方两种饮食文化的差异备受关注。
中国和西方国家不仅在菜肴口味、食材选择、餐桌礼仪等方面存在着明显的差异，而且背后的文化背景与人们的价值观也有所不同。
本文将探讨中西方饮食文化的差异以及其背后的文化因素。
一、饮食观念的差异中西方饮食文化的差异首先体现在饮食观念上。
在中国，饮食被视为一个重要的社交媒介，人们常常通过共进餐来加深彼此之间的感情。
此外，中国人注重“食物药补，药食同源”，相信不同的食材对身体健康具有特定的功效，因此注重食疗的观念在中国十分普遍。
而在西方，饮食被视为满足身体需求的一种方式，更加注重营养均衡和饮食品质。
二、菜肴口味的差异中西方饮食文化的差异还体现在菜肴口味上。
中国菜以独特的口味和调料著称，例如酱油、蒜、姜、辣椒等。
中餐通常追求各种口味的平衡，注重色、香、味俱佳。
相比之下，西方菜肴偏向于简单和清淡的口味，更加注重原材料的原汁原味，追求食物的自然美。
三、餐桌礼仪的差异中西方饮食文化的差异还体现在餐桌礼仪上。
在中国，用餐时，人们可以随意地用筷子夹取食物，通常将大碗菜和小碗菜共享，反映了中国人倡导家庭和谐的价值观。
而在西方，用餐时通常使用刀叉等餐具，每个人有自己的盘子，并且尊重个人隐私。
西方餐桌上的礼仪更加注重个人空间和独立性。
四、文化背景与价值观的差异中西方饮食文化的差异不仅仅体现在口味和礼仪上，更深层次的原因在于文化背景与价值观的不同。
中国历史悠久，有着与饮食相关的传统文化，例如饮食哲学和中医食疗等。
中国人对饮食有着情感和文化的认同，饮食被视为文化认同的重要组成部分。
相比之下，西方国家的饮食观念更加现代化和个体化，更注重科学和健康的饮食方式。
总结：中西方饮食文化的差异可以从饮食观念、菜肴口味、餐桌礼仪和价值观方面进行比较。
中餐注重社交和食疗，口味多样丰富，而西餐注重营养和个体健康，注重原汁原味。
在餐桌礼仪上，中国餐桌更加注重家庭和谐，而西方餐桌更注重个人尊重和隐私。

中西方饮食文化差异
中西方饮食文化差异1.中西饮食观念的差异历史上，中国是世界上最古老的国家之一，有5000年的悠久而厚重的历史，创造了无数的灿烂文明，在这种文化蕴藏中，使中国的饮食更加博大精深。
随着时间的流逝以及辽阔国土的地域差异，四大菜系逐渐形成，四大菜系自成体系，各有特点，但共同点是用料复杂考究，制作方法复杂，口味、菜式多种多样，令人惊叹。
由于中西哲学思想的不同，西方人于饮食重科学。
重科学即讲求营养。
故西方饮食以营养为最高准则，进食犹如为一生物的机器添加燃料，特别讲求食物的营养成分，蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合物、维生素及各类无机元素的含量是否搭配合宜，热量的供给是否恰到好处以及这些营养成分是否能为进食者充分吸收，有无其他副作用。
这些问题都是烹调中的大学问，而菜肴的色、香、味如何，则是次一等的要求。
即或在西方首屈一指的饮食大国——法国，其饮食文化虽然在很多方面与我们近似，但一接触到营养问题，双方便拉开了距离。
2.中西饮食对象的差异西方人认为菜肴是充饥的，所以专吃大块肉、整块鸡等“硬菜”;而中国的菜肴是“吃味”的。
所以中国烹调在用料上也显出极大的随意性：许多西方人视为弃物的东西，在中国都是极好的原料，外国厨师无法处理的东西，一到中国厨师手里，就可以化腐朽为神奇。
足见中国饮食在用料方面的随意性之广博。
中西方饮食西方人在介绍自己国家的饮食特点时，觉得比中国更重视营养的合理搭配，有较为发达的食品工业，如罐头、快餐等，虽口味千篇一律，但节省时间，且营养良好。
故他们国家的人身体普遍比中国人健壮：高个、长腿、宽大的肩、发达的肌肉;而中国人则显得身材瘦小、肩窄腿短、色黄质弱。
有人根据中西方饮食对象的明显差异这一特点，把中国人称为植物性格，西方人称为动物性格。
3.中西饮食性质的差异饮食观念的不同，使西方饮食倾向于科学、理性，中国饮食倾向于艺术、感性。
烹调出自饮食，饮食原来是一个旨在供给维持生命的营养。
西方饮食习俗的着重点仅仅是原始的饮食实用性的延伸;而中国饮食习俗中对味的偏重，就把饮食推向了艺术的殿堂。
中西方饮食文化差异
中西方饮食文化差异引言饮食文化是一种符号系统，反映了不同地域和民族的生活方式、社会习俗和价值观念。
中西方饮食文化差异是由于历史、地理、经济、宗教和文化等多种因素的综合作用所导致的。
本文将从饮食习惯、饮食结构、饮食礼仪和饮食观念等方面，探讨中西方饮食文化的差异。
饮食习惯在饮食习惯方面，中西方存在明显的差异。
中餐以主食为主，有米饭、面食等，而西餐以肉类、面包、蔬菜等为主。
中餐强调热食，西餐则更注重生食。
中餐习惯使用筷子，而西餐使用刀叉。
饮食结构中西方饮食结构也存在差异。
中餐通常分为主食、荤菜、素菜和汤羹等几个部分，涵盖了各种营养物质。
而西餐则分为前菜、主菜和甜点等几个部分，一般以肉类和面包为主。
中餐的口味重，西餐的口味相对清淡。
饮食礼仪中西方的饮食礼仪也存在差异。
在中餐中，有明显的宴请礼仪，如宴席上坐姿、用筷子的方法等。
而西餐则强调用餐的仪态，如正确使用刀叉的方式、小口吃等。
西餐还有更加严格的餐桌礼仪，如如何摆放餐具、如何用红酒杯等。
饮食观念中西方的饮食观念也存在明显差异。
在中餐中，食物有荤素禁忌之分，如佛教徒禁止食用肉类。
而在西餐中，食物的禁忌相对较少。
中餐强调营养均衡，讲究五谷杂粮，而西餐更加注重菜肴的味道和创意。
中西方饮食文化差异的存在是多方面因素的综合结果。
不同的饮食文化反映了不同地域和民族的历史、文化和价值观念。
在全球化的今天，人们对不同饮食文化的了解和尊重变得越来越重要。
通过对中西方饮食文化差异的了解，我们可以更好地理解不同文化间的差异，促进文化的交流和理解。

论中西方饮食文化差异
论中西方饮食文化差异中西方饮食文化差异一直以来都是个备受关注的话题。
随着全球化进程的不断加深，东西方之间的文化交流日益频繁，饮食文化差异也越来越受到人们的关注。
中西方饮食文化对比不仅可以帮助我们更好地理解各自的饮食习惯和文化传统，还可以促进不同文化之间的交流与融合。
下面我们将从中西方饮食的历史渊源、食材特点、餐饮习惯等方面进行分析，探讨中西方饮食文化差异。
一、历史渊源中西方饮食文化的差异源远流长，可以追溯到古代文明的形成和发展。
在中国，饮食被赋予了重要的社会和文化意义，传统的饮食文化已经延续了数千年。
中国饮食文化有着丰富多样的特点，包括八大菜系、餐桌礼仪、节气饮食等。
在西方，古希腊和古罗马文明是西方饮食文化的奠基之作，西方饮食文化也经历了漫长的发展历程，在中世纪时期受到了基督教的影响，有着一定的宗教色彩。
近代以来，西方饮食文化在全球范围内得到了广泛传播，形成了法国、意大利、西班牙等地的不同美食文化传统。
二、食材特点中西方的食材特点有着显著的差异。
在中国，饮食文化非常注重使用新鲜、天然的原料，尤其是蔬菜、瓜果等植物类食材。
中国菜以色、香、味俱全著称，讲究的是食材的鲜美和口感的丰富。
与之不同的是，西方厨房更加注重肉类的利用，尤其是牛肉、羊肉等。
在西方菜肴中，肉类被赋予了更多的烹饪方式和调味方式，例如烤、煮、炖等，使得西餐在风味上更加突出。
西餐中的奶制品和面包也占据着重要的地位，是西方饮食文化的特色之一。
三、餐饮习惯中西方的餐饮习惯也存在着诸多差异。
在中国，餐饮文化与家庭有着密切的联系，餐桌是家人聚集的地方，人们讲究“团圆饭”，尤其是在传统的节日和重大的家庭聚会上。
中国人喜欢粗细相间，各色调味、营养搭配的菜肴，主食以米饭为主，强调“菜为主、肉为辅”。
与之相比，西方餐饮文化更加注重个人的独立性，餐桌礼仪也相对更加注重。
西餐的种类繁多，包括开胃菜、主菜、甜点等，体现了西方人对餐饮的精细化和多样性。
以上就是中西方饮食文化的一些差异之处。

通过对中西饮食文化差异的分析，我们可以了解中西方各自的文化传统；同时能对中国文化进行改善与创新。
关键词：饮食文化文化传统差异AbstractDiet is absolutely necessary in the life of mankind, and even in the existence or development. Because of the differences between Chinese and western cultural traditions, the Chinese and western dietary cultures are different in concept, target, pattern, attribution and nature. We study these differences andthen find out the points that can be digested, in order to facilitate the communication about cultures between China and the west. Taiwan Professor Zhang Qijun said, “The old saying, 'Eat, drink, man, woman who wishes greatly'. Thus the diet is rich in culture. Food culture in the west is not developed enough, but this underdevelopment itself is the result of the development of a culture, so it is still significant to study the dietary cultures of Chinese and Western diet. By the analysis of the differences between Chinese and western dietary cultures, we can comprehend the respective cultural traditions of China and the west. And we can also improve and create the culture of ChinaKey Words：dietary, culturecultural, tradition differencesContentsPartI Introduction............................................................. .

There are two desires in life: one is feasting them to survive; and another is the lust of men and women, which can help the mankind to carry on the family line. Facing the two desires, China pays more attention to the former, while the west tends to the latter. Such phenomenon affects the cultural trend. Diet is actually the contents of our daily lives, but why we call it culture? That is because the diet has special status in the Chinese culture, and it also has a great distinction between China and the west. As one of the world ancient nations, China’s diet has a history almost as long as that of Chinese civilization. But in western countries, ancient thinkers devoted less attention to the food problem than the Chinese philosophers did, and there is even not aware of it to the "heaven" degree. Receiving the influence of respective cultural tradition, the Chinese and western dietary culture has had different characteristicPart II The differences in conceptsTargets, patterns, attribution and naturead reflected the different dietary culture in the different state characteristic;such characteristic hasenriched the research value of dietary culture2.1 cultural differencesWe can find out a joint enhancing the communication between China and the west through a comprehensive study of the subject. It may be a great help to the communication of the Chinese and western cultures.I. Differences in Concepts First, the Chinese and western diet have the differences that cannot be ignored in concepts. Nobody will deny that the Western diet is a rational concept, regardless of the color of food, incense, flavor and shape, but nutrition must be assured. It cares about the intake of calories, vitamins, protein and so on during a day.2.2 Comparing with the Chinese diet, western diet tastes stereotypedAs simple as chewing the candle, but the sense tells them: We must eat them all because of the nutrition. And then they put it bluntly, just like refueling machine. The concept of western diet is compatible with the whole western philosophy. Metaphysics is the main feature of western philosophy. Such kind of philosophy brings vitality to western culture, so the natural sciences, psychology and methodology achieve a rapid development. In some other aspects, such philosophy proposition is a significantly obstacle, such as the dietary culture, which is the inevitable thing to drop behind, and just the metaphysics of methodology marks everywhere. In celebration, it stresses tableware, stresses the staple, stresses the servings, and stresses the color and shape mix of rawmaterials. But no matter how luxurious the grade is; from Los Angeles to New York, only one taste of steak, it is no art to speak of. And as dishes, the chicken is chicken; steak is steak, even in groups, which are also conducted in a shallow dish. In a dish of "French Muttonchops", one side is potato mud, and muttonchops sits next to it, another side is allocation of cooking beans, and plus a few tablets of tomato. Color is on clear, but the tastes of the various materials are separated, not to reconcile, and the entire flavor is also simple and clearPart III Chinese diet is a sense of beauty diet3.1 This dish is "delicious"When people sample dishes, they often say this dish is "delicious", and that dish is "not delicious".But if you ask what is meant by "delicious", why "tasty" and what are the aspects of "delicious", I am afraid that it will be difficult to answer. This shows that which Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the “mood” that is difficult for one to say anything. Even using the "color, flavor, shape and implement "which people often said to make the" realm "reification, I am afraid it is still difficult to crown allIt contains a wealth of dialectics of Chinese philosophy, and all these depend on the degree of the wonderful flavor and harmony of dish. The ever-changing within degrees decides the changeable of Chinese food, and it also decides the characteristics of Chinese food as well as the characteristics on each of thechefs.3.2. Difference in targets all diet cannot be done without vegetablesThe word "dish" is for the sound in China, and it always has something to do with the plants. According to a survey of western plants scholar, there are 600 varieties of vegetables, six times more than in the west. In fact, the Chinese dishes, vegetable dish is usual food. Meat dish entered the normal diet only on holidays or higher living standards, so since ancient times, and there was a saying of "fresh vegetables". Mandarin language: "Common people eat fresh vegetables, fish only offered in the worship." It is said that fresh vegetables are mainly to the civilian in general, only being able to eat meat only in worship. Vegetarian diet takes the dominant position in the normal structure. Chinese people consider the vegetables as the main dish; it has inextricably linked with the advocacy of Buddhists. They deem animals as "people" and plants have "no soul." So, they advocate vegetarianism Part IV Westerners do not seem to have such a good habitThey up hold a cultural origin of nomadic, seafaring nation. Living mainly by fishing and hunting, collection and planting are just the complement. There are more meat dishes in their lives.4.1 There are more meat dishes in western livesFeeding, clothing, and using are taken from the animals, and even Western medicine is derived from animals. When the westerners introduce the diet characteristics of their countries, they always feel thattheir diet is more reasonable on the mix of nutrition than China. The food industry is more developed, such as cans, fast food, although the taste is monotonous, but it saves time, and it also has good nutrition. Therefore, in their countries: people are generally healthier and taller than Chinese, and the people have strong shoulders and developed muscles; but Chinese people look short, their shoulders narrow and legs thin, their skin yellow and their body weak. The differences between Chinese and western food for Westerners to judge the merits of the two diet is not justified. Mr. Sun Yat-sen had profound study of the culture of food and incisive exposition. In his composing The Scheme for National Reconstruction, detailing the differences between Chinese and Western diet phenomenon, he concludes: "Chinese ordinary people drink green tea, and eat simple food such as vegetables and tofu for meal. Such kinds of food are the most healthy and beneficial according to the research of hygienist.Therefore, the remote people in china, whose diet are far from meat and wine, always live a long life. Also China has a big population, and Chinese people have enormous power to resist disease, but they never try the non-diet. “He added:" The Chinese vegetaria ns all eat tofu. Tofu is expected as the real meat in plants, as it has the nutrition that meat has. It is the meat without toxic materials. So the Chinese are vegetarian used to be a custom without the promotion of scholars. It is also a custom that the European and American drink thick Wine, eat meat and fish. So there wasscience promotion before and a severe law later, such as the United States Prohibition. And the transfer will not carry out in a short time."Mr. Sun’s words tell out the scientif ic benefits of Chinese diet and disadvantages of Western diet. According to the characteristics of the significant differences between Chinese and Western diet targets, the Chinese character is called the plant character, while the Westerners’ is animal character.Part V the cultural behaviors5.1 The difference cultural behaviors in western and ChineseWesterners love adventure, exploration, conflict; but the Chinese people only like to live banallyAccording to American expert on folklore Ruth’s opinions o n the "cultural pattern" theory, Chinese culture is quite similar to the classical world Apollo-type character and Westerners’ is similar to the modern world Faust-type. Indeed, the Westerners such as Americans in the development of the west, they put the whole family on the truck, and go out of the city in amid rumbling with the supplies. The Chinese people are always thinking about "home" and "roots", despite the promotion that young people should take the world as home. But after a few decades, the overseas Chinese will come back to the mainland with crutch to seek their roots. This concept of return and such human spirit that can only be said to cooperate with the accumulation in the diet. Then it brings cohesiveness to the Chinese nation and then makes the humanfolk full of energy. Differences in Dietary Patterns The Chinese and Western dietary patterns can be very different, and these differences affect the national character. In China, a celebration, no matter what, there will be only one form, as sitting together, sharing one feast. Banquet uses round table, which has created a unity of form, which is courtesy, comity atmosphere. People toast each other and share the vegetables, which reflect the mutual respect between people in the face of the good things, also show the virtues of comity. Although from the health point of view, this approach has obvious deficiencies, but it is in our national "happy" mentality, it reflects the classical Chinese philosophy area of "and" impact for future generations. It is helpful to facilitate the collective emotional exchanges and consequently difficult to reform.The western-style banquets, although the food and wine are very important, but in fact they are just foil. The core of Banquet is friendship, by the conversation with the guests who sitting next to achieve the purpose of recreation. If making an analogous compare between the recreation of the banquets and dancing, it may be said that the Chinese banquet is like group dance, and the western banquet is like men and women dancing. This shows that communication purpose of Chinese banquet and western banquet are very obvious. The more obvious differences between Chinese and western dietary patterns is buffet dinner which is popular in the West. This method is to display all food, andeverybody is picking not fixed in his or her places to eat. They walk freely. This approach would provide the emotional interaction between individuals; they never need to put every word on the table. This also shows a western personality and self-respect. However, all the eating without jamming lacks the real affective tone like the Chinese people. Some people want to put the buffet in the Chinese food, but I think it is not feasible. Zhang Qijun in the Principles of Cooking tells us the main reason: "First, buffet is not like drinking tea. it, it is cold yet. Chinese cuisine will serve hot, if cold, nothing to eat. Secondly, buffet dishes only can do hard dishes and beneficial dishes. Then you can access for large plots. And those most representative of the Chinese culinary arts, such as the tender and lighter dishes, are not in this show. Third, the buffet can do stewing pot; it means a big pot in terms of food. Any sophisticated cooking of a dish can only be cooked in a pot at two most, and it is not able to cook the dish for dozens of people. So it will not be delicious, never talking of the taste.Under such circumstances, it is clear that the use of buffet dinner will deny Chinese culinary arts. "The Chinese people are drinking around the table to show harmony and unity, but the buffet has broken such pattern.5.2. diffrence in Diet Attribution There are differences between Chinese and western diet attribution.Western diet tends to be scientific and rational, but the Chinese diettends to be art and sentimental. During the underdevelopment era of diet, these two trends have only one aim – to live and never be hungry.5.3. Differences in Dietary PatternsThe Chinese and Western dietary patterns can be very different, and these differences affect the national character. In China, a celebration, no matter what, there will be only one form, as sitting together, sharing one feast. Banquet uses round table, which has created a unity of form, which is courtesy, comity atmosphere.. It is the objects for people to appreciate and taste, and it is also an intermediate of communication Although from the health point of view, this approach has obvious deficiencies, but it is in our national "happy" mentality, it reflects the classical Chinese philosophy area of "and" impact for future generations. It is helpful to facilitate the collective emotional exchanges and consequently difficult to reform. The western-style banquets, although the food and wine are very important, but in fact they are just foil. The core of Banquet is friendship, by the conversation with the guests who sitting next to achieve the purpose of recreation. This shows that communication purpose of Chinese banquet and western banquet are very obvious. Only the Chinese banquet is more popular in the communion, but western banquet shows guests reflected in the friendship between neighbors. The more obvious differences between Chinese and western dietary patterns is buffet dinner which is popular in the West. This method is to display all food, andeverybody is picking not fixed in his or her places to eat. They walk freely. This approach would provide the emotional interaction between individuals; they never need to put every word on the table. This also shows a western personality and self-respect.PartVI ConclusionHowever, all the eating without jamming lacks the real affective tone like the Chinese people. People want to put the buffet in the Chinese food, but I think it is not feasible. Zhang Qijun in the Principles of Cooking tells us the main reason: "First, buffet is not like drinking tea. In the course of development it absorbs a lot of different cultures. Moreover, now China does more efforts to draw all the outstanding achievements in the World. China's reform and opening up policy create the conditions on international relations and cultural exchanges. We need to use such an opportunity to absorb the excellent cultures from other countries, to develop and create China's new culture.References1. 安静.解读美国[M]. 北京：中国旅游出版社，2007.2. 陈洁.得心应手---西餐礼仪[M].北京：世界知识出版社, 2005.3. 金炳镐.民族理论通论[M].北京:中央民族大学出版社,1994.4. 刘枋.吃的艺术[M].山东:山东画报出版社,2003.5. 刘玫君，陈加真.出国点菜不求人---别人不会告诉你的旅行智慧[M].北京:中国旅游出版社，2005.6. 马文.哈里斯(美).好吃:食物与文化之迷[M].山东:山东画报出版社,2001.7. 苏珊.罗德里格.亨特.巴黎:一席浮动的豪宴[M].北京:生活.读书.新知三联书店,2004.8. 唐鲁孙.天下味[M].桂林:广西师范大学出版社,2004.9. 王晓昕,李学友.传统文化与道德建设[M].贵阳：贵州民族出版社,2004.10. 萧家成.升华的魅力---中华民族酒文化[M].北京:华龄出版社，2007.11. 徐先玲,李祖状.西方饮食文化[M].北京：中国戏剧出版社, 2005.12. 向世陵.中国哲学智慧[M].北京：中国人民大学出版社, 2000.13. 殷珍泉.礼仪有学问[M].北京：北京台海出版社, 2002.14. 张茗阳.食物改变你的一生[M].上海:学林出版社, 2003.15. 张志伟,欧阳谦.西方哲学智慧[M].北京：中国人民大学出版社,2000.。
中西方饮食文化的差异论文
中西方饮食文化的差异论文任何一个民族的饮食文化包括这个民族的饮食特点与饮食习惯，这种特点与习惯又肯定能够在不同程度上反映这个民族的血统、生存历史和生存环境。
以下是店铺整理分享的关于中西方饮食文化的差异论文的相关文章，欢迎阅读!中西方饮食文化的差异论文篇一浅析中西方饮食文化的差异民以食为天，饮食文化是民族文化中的一个极为重要的组成部分，它同人们的物质生活和精神生活都有着千丝万缕的联系，其中所包含的民间文化的遗传信息十分丰富。
任何一个民族的饮食文化包括这个民族的饮食特点与饮食习惯，这种特点与习惯又肯定能够在不同程度上反映这个民族的血统、生存历史和生存环境。
一. 引言中西文化历来是世界文化的两大派系，而饮食在两个文化中部占有非常重要的地位。
中西文化之间的差异从而造就了中西饮食文化的差异，在两种不同的文化背景下，中西方饮食习俗，不论在其观念、性质，还是在其方式、对象等诸多方面，所存在的差异是非常鲜明的。
饮食文化包括食物的加工、消费和享受三个方面。
本文主要从这几个方面来谈谈中西方饮食文化的差异。
二. 中西方饮食文化的差异1. 饮食观念的差异中国人的饮食强调感性和艺术性，追求饮食的口味感觉，而不注意食物的营养成分，多从“色、香、味、形”等方面来评价饮食的好坏优劣，追求的是一种难以言传的意境。
简单地说，中国人吃的是口味，“味”，是中国饮食的魅力所在。
中国人饮食的目的，除了果腹充饥，同时还满足对美味的渴望，带来身心的愉悦。
对比注重“味”的中国饮食，西方的饮食是一种理性饮食观念。
西方人喜好小而精。
对于烹饪食物，营养性和美味性就是他们的出发点和目的地。
他们全力开发和研究食物在不同状态下的营养差异，特别讲求食物的营养成分，蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合物、维生素及各类无机元素的含量是否搭配合宜，热量的供给是否恰到好处以及这些营养成分是否能为进食者充分吸收，有无其他副作用。
这种价值理念的差别形成了中餐过分注重饭菜色、香、味的特点，而西方人则自始至终坚持着从营养角度出发，轻视饭菜的其他功能2. 饮食内容的差异中国自古就是农业大国，饮食结构以谷类即淀粉为主，肉吃的较少，粮食较多，再以蔬菜搭配，蔬菜可以说占主导地位。
论中西方饮食文化的差异
论中西方饮食文化的差异摘要：不同的民族和国家存在着各具特色的饮食文化,具有浓郁的民族性和多样性的特点。
随着经济全球化的发展，全世界的国家联系愈来愈紧密，文化的差异更加凸显出来，文化的交融也更加成为一种趋势。
在饮食方面，中西方文化存在着明显的差异，本文将从中西方饮食观念的差异、中西饮食礼仪、烹调方法等方面来比较中西饮食方面的文化差异。
关键字：中西饮食文化文化差异饮食礼节古人有云：民以食为天。
作为维持人类生存中的重要一项——吃，中国与西方在饮食文化方面存在着和大的差异。
这些差异形成的原因有很多，包括居住的地理环境，生存环境，思想文化等许多方面。
而今，饮食已不再是满足个体需要的一种本能。
随着生产力发展和社会进步，饮食背后呈现出来的文化内涵更引人关注。
不同国家和地区的饮食都有其独特的特点，可以说当地的饮食文化是该地区文化和人们思维方式的缩影。
一、饮食观念的差异及其原因中西方饮食观念的差异要从中西方的历史说起，中国作为一个内陆国家，拥有广阔的耕种土地，是一个农业大国。
种植的农作物主要是谷类、蔬菜等。
所以中国人的主食以谷类为主，多吃蔬菜。
而西方的海洋文明直接说明了他们没有广阔的土地去耕种，人们主要以打渔，捕猎为生，所以他们的主食以肉类、鱼类为主。
中西方的哲学思想，思维模式的不同也影响着其饮食观念，中国饮食偏向感性，西方饮食更偏重理性。
中国人注重食物的色、香、味、形、质。
首先注重色彩的搭配；其次是香，菜的香味能刺激人的嗅觉器官产生嗅觉感，引起人的情感性冲动和思维联想，进而影响饮食行为；接着便是味的美感，它在中国饮食中具有核心地位；第四，形的美感，菜点的造型要运用美术手段加以装饰；第五，质的美感，质，一方面可以指营养质量、卫生质量、烹饪技术等；另一方面是指质地，即以触感、口感为对象的松、软、脆、嫩、酥滑、爽等质地美感。
中国人除了用色、香、味、形这些技术手段外，还采用一些文学的手段，如通过对各种菜点的不同命名来追求和达到不同主题宴席的意境。

Intercultural communications gradually becomes an indispensable content of people's life. Due to the differences of regional, different nations and countries form different cultures. People with different cultural backgrounds behavior or habits is endless and same, they have their social statute or habits, reflected in the political economy, education religion, culture , art and so on. America famous newly chemical representative figure White is called “father of cult urology”, he put the culture as a kind of special and objective social phenomenon, and as a complete system (White, 1949). So specially, what is culture? Chen Huawen once lists cases to illustrate the connotation and importance of culture; he said “culture is like air and water that permeates every corner of our lives, people are enjoying the culture achievements that were created by predecessors in every time, also, people are inventing new culture in every moment. Our progress is the result of the culture creation and developing.”(Chen Huawen, 2001:2) When people are communicating under the different culture background, the language and non-language factors which influence of message effect are make communication hen culture. If foreign language learners are lack of knowledge for its behavior and function, it will appear inappropriate behavior, resulting in the communication barriers, and it is difficult for effective cross-cultural communication, as a result causes of communication error.The diet is the first need for human’s survival and development; also it is the one of the basic form of social life. However under the different cultural background, having different diet idea and diet custom, then finally form the different diet culture. Food culture is an important part in the intercultural communication. Understand the differences between Chinese and western diet culture and its origin, for foreign language learners, not only increase the understanding of the target language culture,but also improve the success rate of intercultural communication, avoid the misunderstandings and communication barriers just because of the inappropriate way or behavior .In Sun Weixue’s book <<culture of America>>, he once pointed out any country in the world should carry out cultural exchanges and publicity actively, this is not only benefit to their native culture, but also spread the culture in worldwide .(Sun Weixue, 2004) This paper expounded from various of the differences between Chinese and western food dietetic culture, enhance mutual understanding and facilitate communication.Chapter One Chinese and Western Food Dietetic Culture 1.1 Characteristics of Chinese food dietetic cultureChina is one of the most ancient countries on the world, it has the long history of 5000 years, and created innumerable splendid civilization. In this culture, it makes China contain more expansive and profound diet. It has experienced several thousand years of history development, and has become one of the most important Chinese traditional cultures of department.Because of the district difference in our land, it gradually formed four major cuisines that is Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine. This four major cuisine have different features, but in common is with making complex fastidious, the product methods are very complex, and have a great diversity of taste and dishes, this is amazing. Because of our vast land, there are differences in climate, products and custom in every place. For a long time, on food was formed many flavor. Our country has been have the saying of “ south rice north noodles”, in the taste, it has the differences that “sour in east, hot in west, sweet in south and salty in north", it mainly have four flavor about Bashu, Qilu, Haiyangn and Yuemin. ( Zou Guangwen, 1998) On the other hand, all the year round, according to season for eat is a feature in China’s cooking. Since ancient times, our country has been according to season changes to taste, and dishes. Winter taste strong, summer flavor cleaner; in the winter more braised stews, summer more cold.In the long-term development, evolution and accumulation process, Chinese people gradually formed its own unique food folk from many aspects, such as diet structure, food production, food utensils, nutrition healthy and diet aesthetic, this created a diet with unique flavor of the Chinese food culture, become a pearl of the world food culture.1.2 Characteristics of the Western food dietetic cultureRational westerners pay more attention to the nutrition and survival. Due to the different philosophical thoughts of Chinese and western, westerners in diet takes thescience, takes the science about nutrition, so the nutrition is the supreme principle in the western diet.Eating like a biological machine add fuel, especially about the food's nutrition composition, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and all kinds of inorganic element content,( Dang Binghua, 2010) whether calorie supply properly, and whether these nutrients can be fully absorbed, and presence of other side effects, and dishes color, fragrance and taste is the second requirement. Even in the west’s leading power –France, even though in many aspects the diet culture is similar with our diet, but a contact to nutrition, both sides will the gap. While French cook also pursued delicious, but also adhere to the “nutrition” this one major premise, they don’t agree with pieces of nutrition and beg delicious.In the culture of diet, westerners have the culture descent of nomads and sailing nationality, they hunting, breeding, aided by acquisition and planting, they eat more meet, the eating, wearing and using are took of animals, even the western medicine are made from animals to take. Pay more attention to animal protein and fat intake, in the structure of diet, also with animal figurines in the majority, it is mainly dishes, beef, chicken, pork, mutton and fish. So the meat diet has been very high in proportion. In modern times, planting proportion is increasing, but the proportion in meat still higher than Chinese.Chapter Two Differences in the performance of Chinese andWestern food dietetic2.1 Differences between Chinese and Western diet conceptChinese people are thinking highly of eat. “B read is the staff of life”, this old adage explained that we see eating as important as days. Because our national for thousands of years are in the low level of productivity, people always do not have enough to eat, so they would have a unique food culture that eating is very important.I think this is probably from a survival to needs. Li Xiaohong pointed out: “I f a culture put ate as primary, so it will appear two phenomena: on one hand will put the food function to acme, not only survive, but also use it to maintain healthy, this is also the culture basis that “diet cures more than the doctors”. On the other hand, the excessive attention to eat, it can make the person praise highly of delicious pursuit.”(Li Xiaohong, 2010: 33)In China, the pursuit of delicious reached almost acme, Chinese living overseas to open restaurants for industry in the world, it has become our settlement fundamental.Unfortunately, when we put the pursuit of delicious as the first requirement, we are neglecting the most fundamental nutritional value of food. Many of our traditional foods are through hot fried and long time boil, cover the dish nutrients to sabotage, many nutrients are loss in the machining process. As a result of nutrition problem, in fact touched on the Chinese culinary culture to the greatest weakness. Folk have saying, “It is of great importance of eating and whether the food is delicious or not depends on taste”, this is the pursuit of delicious make us ignore the real meaning of dinner.European is represented the western, also, his culture has a long history. In the middle ages, the European culture has very perfect, during this period; the old western food culture has been formed. Its main features are: most food with flour primarily, raw material also more abundant, its production method is simple, but also in China pays much attention to taste.China's five mixed cookery aims to pursue delicious, its processing process of hot fried and long time of fire, this can make dishes nutrients were damaged. (Lin Lirui, 2009) In western countries, especially in 1960s, appearing the emergence of modern cooking thought, with particular emphasis on health care, reduce weight, thus less oil, emphasize the pursuit of light by fresh materials, emphasizing the cooking process of nutrients and maintain the original taste, so the vegetables are basically raw. So says the heavy nutrition in western diet is universal.2.2 Differences between Chinese and Western diet objectsWesterners believe that cuisine is the longing, so only eat of meat, chicken this "hard food"; While Chinese cuisine is "taste". So the Chinese cooking with makings also show great randomness, many westerners as something is the outcast, this in China are excellent raw material, foreign chefs can't handle this things, but to a Chinese chef hands, this can turn decayed for magical. It serves to show the Chinese diet in the wide randomness of materials.According to the survey of western plant scholars, Chinese eat vegetables have more than 600 specious, it is six times more than the west. In fact, in the Chinese dishes, vegetarian dishes are common food, only in holidays or volunteers at the higher living standards, it can enters the usual diet, so since ancient times, we will have saying of "food feed", food feed is the dominant statement in our usual diet. The Chinese make plant as the main dish, and has a lot of contact with the advocacy of Buddhism. Their think the animal is "the life", but plants the laws of nature "not to work", therefore, advocates the vegetarianism. (Yang Naiji, 1993)Westerners in introducing the food characteristic of their own country, they feel more attention about reasonable collocation of nutrition than China. They have more developed food industry, such as canned, fast food. Although the taste is common, saving time and the nutrition is good. So in common, human body of their country is stronger than Chinese: tall, long legs, broad shoulders and developed muscle; But Chinese appears narrow skinny, short legs and the color is yellow. Someoneaccording to the obvious differences in characteristic of western diet object, the Chinese character known as the plants, the Western character known as animals.2.3 Differences between Chinese and Western diet manner, tablewareand etiquette2.3.1 Diet mannerChinese and Western food is quite different from the way that such differences also have an impact on the national character. In China, any of the feast, whatever the purpose, there will be only one form, that is, we were sitting around, sharing one seat. The banquet must use the round table; this formally has created one kind of unity, politeness, altogether the interest atmosphere. The delicacy delicacies put on table of people's centers, it not only is the object which table of people appreciates, tastes, also is a table of people sentiments exchange intermedium. People propose a toast of each other for food, vegetables, in the face of good things, reflects the mutual respect between people, the virtues of comity. Duo Xiaoping said that: “A lthough from the health perspective, this kind of food have obvious deficiency, it meets the general mind of happy in our national, reflects the influence thoughts to offspring about Chinese classical philosophy, facilitate the emotional communicated of collective, and yet difficult to reform”.( Duo Xiaoping, 2005: 12)Freedom westerner is individual serving when they eating, the first is the point of all the food, they can eat what something, and it also showed respect for the West on the personality. After serving up, people eat the entire various one and their random add spices, the second course dish to eat after eating, before and after the two never mixed vegetables to eat. The most popular form of buffet in western is individual eating, incompatible interference, and lack of the emotional appeal for chat with each other.In the western-style banquets, food and wine are very important, but in fact it is setoff. The core of banquet in friendship, through the conversation with neighbors, in order to achieve the friendship. If the companionship of party is compared withdance, then it can be said that Chinese banquet is like collective dance, and western banquet is like dancing between women and men. Therefore, the purpose of companionship is obvious between Chinese banquet and western banquet, only Chinese banquet more reflected in all guest, and western banquet more reflected the friendship between adjacent guests. And Chinese food is more obvious differences between them were western popular buffet. This method is: we need display all the food, should not fixed in his seat to eat, you can walk freedom, this method in favor of the emotional communicated between individuals, not speak all the words on the table, this also showed respect for the personality and self.Therefore, in the final analysis is differences between perceptual and rationality. However, the difference seems to be with the development of science and become blurred. More and more Chinese no longer only paying attention to food color, fragrance and taste, they pay more attention to its health and nutrition. Especially after the experience of SARS. Also, because of people are more and more busy with job, they think when doing the Chinese food is too much trouble, not equal convenient to come a hamburger and so on. So in dietary the differences were not too clear.2.3.2 Diet tablewareIn the space of diet tableware, the differences are more obvious. As we know, Chinese people including some Asian countries, use chopsticks, spoon, when they have a meal also use bowl to fill. But how about westerners? They are fill food use plate, to use a knife and fork to eat, there are specialized spoon to drink soup. Chopsticks and knife, fork as two kinds of representative tableware for the east and west, they affected the different lifestyle of eastern and western, representing two kinds of different wisdom.As we know the emergence of a knife and fork is much later than chopsticks, it was originally the ancient nomadic origin and the European lifestyle; they carry knives for live, and often cooked the meat, then cut off to eat. After settle the city, the knives and forks into the family kitchen, at this time, people just do not have to carry them. However, only about the 18th century, there was found the fork for fourfork. Therefore, western people using a knife and fork, just four or five hundred years of history. Compared with the simple chopsticks, the type of knife and fork much more, knife and fork belong to the special tools, but because of this "special" often show "great wisdom appears stupid", so they are often ignored by their people.Different people have different views, it is difficult to draw the conclusions that the relationship of thinking method between chopsticks and knife and fork. However, there is scientific basis of use of chopsticks is better training your thinking ability. From a physiological point of view, Hu Wenzhong has made a study of chopsticks, he found that when you eating with chopsticks, it affect the human body of thirty joints and fifty muscles, there by stimulating the activity of brain systems,it brings agility and quick thinking.(Hu Wenzhong, 1999)And there is no doubt that the chopsticks have the scientific principles.2.3.3 Diet etiquetteIn etiquette, both in the west and Chinese are even more different. In ancient China, during people have the dinner, they have a set of unnecessary and over elaborate formalities. When people eat together, not just eat their own interests. If you eat with others, you must check the hands clean. Do not put extra food into the pot, and do not post occupied food. After dinner, guests should pack up and move the dishes on the table, take them to the master, then the master get off, you should request them do not work, then the guests sit down again. Some of this ritual is essential in modern manners. In the west banquet, the master generally folder the dish only once for the guests, and the remaining self-consumption by the guests, if guests do not eat, you should not let them to eat, according to the habit of Chinese, people are not frequently provide guests to drink and take the food. When people eating, do not make the noise, but the guests should pay attention to appreciate the food by the master. If talking to people, only overstated with your neighbors, do not talk to people with the distance.2.4 Differences between Chinese and Western diet natureFrom the different concepts, the western diet tends to scientific and rational, Chinese food tends to artistic and emotional. After cooking the delicious food, diet was originally designed to supply a life-sustaining nutrition.Li Mingying said: “the focus of the western diet custom raw diet is just an extension of utility, and customs of the Chinese diet's emphasis on flavor, put the food into the art. We can see the point from two different diet concepts, the western diet is increasing normalization, and the Chinese diet is more randomness. ( Li Mingying, 1997: 03)Chapter Three Reasons for the differences between Chineseand Western food dietetic culture3.1 The impact of the geographical environmentChina is the closed continental geographical, this environment limited the thinking of the Chinese people within the local community, they good at summing up the experiences and lessons from their predecessors, they like “history as a mirror”, and their spatial awareness is weak. (Bian Haoyu, 2004) This mentality of inward-looking led to the Chinese people have the personality of stability and quiet, they lack of curiosity about the new things, and also they lack of interest in the unknown things. So the Chinese diet food is more have the regional characteristics, different places have the different favorite food to eat, the north have the lower temperature than south, especially in the winter, the weather is very cold, so in the diet of the north, a large proportion of fat and protein in the food, especially in pastoral areas, the food of pastoralists is majority of milk and meat, also they like eating noodles. And the food diet of southerners is based on the plant, the residents have the habit of drinking soup and eat porridge, no matter if the food has been put on, they must be the first to eat soup, drink soup before eating a bit, after fond, they also have another bowl of soup to drink, this to be considered as eating a meal. And they mainly eat rice.The majority of western countries are in the open ocean environment of geography, they developed industry and seafaring, since the ancient Greece, they have valued the study of natural objects, and they exploring the mysteries of the natural heritage. At the same time, the marine environment, mountain tsunami, unrest, this all constitutes the personality of the western nation pay attention to the space expansion and military conquest. So westerners have a scientific attitude of the food diet, this also very standard and arbitrary, and they like to eat the meat food.3.2 The impact of the economic systemMarx once said: “Ideas of consciousness is initially directly with peopleproduce the material activity, and people's physical contact and the reality of language intertwined production.” (Marx, 1972: 89) This point of view clear expressed the symbiotic isomorphism relations between the cultural and economic activity. Peter, Koslowski also said that, “the most important ec onomic behavior is decided by the cultural, their cultural engraved with cultural cachet.”(Peter, Koslowski, 1999: 229) The real economic growth depends on the culture. The traditional economy of China is a typical self-sufficient economy. People are more law-abiding and conservative, because they can live for the whole life rely on a piece of land. And their culture is more introverted. Moreover, China’s ancient civilization originated in the river basin, it belongs the agricultural civilization, "agricultural civilization character" inspired the Asian emphasis on ethics, and the principle of life is “harmony, and love for the high”. In the ancient China, people are still more poor rather than the western countries, at that time, the lower people just required eat their fill and wear the warm clothes, the Chinese people in the old ancient, because without something to eat and drink, a lot of people and children are being starved to death. You can not image the horror in that time. Followed the progress and development of the social, people have been get the basic meet in terms of food, they do not worried just because they have not enough food to eat, on the other hand, people are paying attention to the nutrition of diet food, and trying to convince themselves to eat more healthy, more nutrition, so now there have been many so-called food therapy.The ancient Greek civilization of the west is originated in the Aegean coast, belongs to the Marine civilization, besides Europe's farming is not far as China's agriculture as important in ancient society, so the Europeans like to explore the world, and their cultural is more comparative extroversion. Lai Anfang is mentioned in the book of <<An outline introduction to Britain and America>>, “pursuit of freedom and eq uality has been the guiding principles and goal of the western culture.”(Lai Anfang, 2004: 229) And through the industrial revolution, the western countries is early enter into the industry economy, "industrial civilization character" contributed to thewesterners have stronger struggle spirit and legal consciousness to protect one’s own interest.

毕业论文：浅谈中西方饮食文化的差异
浅谈中西方饮食文化的差异摘要: 本篇论文主要探讨了中西方饮食文化的差异。
在世界文化这一大旋窝中，饮食文化在世界文化中起着十分重要的作用。
中国是一种农耕文化的陆地文化，而传统的西方文化是一种畜牧文化的海洋文化，两种不同的文化反映出人们生活方式的差异，其中饮食文化更是具有代表性的一个方面。
餐饮产品由于地域特征、气侯环境、风俗习惯等因素的影响，会出现在原料、口味、烹调方法、饮食习惯上的不同程度的差异。
正是因为这些差异，餐饮产品具有了强烈的地域性。
中华饮食以食表意、以物传情，其博大精深不可言喻。
西方饮食精巧专维、自成体系。
中西饮食文化的差异来自中西方不同的思维方式和处世哲学。
在中国，烹调是一种艺术；在西方，烹调则是一种劳动。
在不同的文化背景下,无论是在饮食观念、饮食对象、饮食方式等各个方面，这些饮食文化的差异都是显而易见的。
随着国际之间的交流与融合，中西饮食文化业将会在交流中共同发展，这对全世界范围内的文化交流将起到促进的作用。
关键词: 差异文化饮食文化引言中美饮食文化的差异在一定程度上会引起文化误区。
比如，在很多中国人眼中，汉堡包、肯德基、麦当劳就是典型的美国食品。
而事实并非如此。
美国的食物很杂。
美国人一般而言都比较吃墨西哥、中国、泰国和印度食物。
因此，在本文中，主要从双方的饮食观念、饮食对象、饮食方式等方面来具体探讨中西饮食文化的差异。
从不同的角度去探讨彼此饮食文化的差异，不仅可以提高人们在文化交流的意识和适应能力，还可以增强我们对外国文化的理解、宽容和接受。
这使中西饮食文化业能在交流中共同发展，相互融合，而且对全世界范围内的文化交流将起到很好的促进作用.营养观念1.1中方的观念在中国的饮食文化中，人们对饮食味道的追求远远超过了对营养的注重，只要好吃又要好看，营养反而显得不重要了。
由于中华民族几千年来生产力都处于低下的水平，人们总是吃不饱，所以才会有一种独特的把吃看得重于一切的饮食文化。
人们常说的“色、香、味俱全”，味是最重要的。
