There are several varieties of tea. In some ways, Chinese tea represents Chinese culture.Just like tea in China, coffee also holds an important position in western countries. The word "coffee" comes from the Greek "Kaweh", meaning "strength and passion." Coffee stands for the western culture and the characteristics of the western people.As the representatives of the east and the west, tea and coffee are not only two kinds of popular drinks, but also symbols of two different cultures. As a Chinese common saying goes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea are the basic and indispensable necessities in the daily life of Chinese people. There is a counterpart saying in the western people’s mouth that if I’m not in the coffee house, then I will be on the way to the coffee house. This reflects the roles of tea and coffee in the people’s life in China and America respectively.In the past few years, Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture have developed rapidly. Chinese tea and American coffee play a increasingly important role in Chinese and American people’s life. Tea houses and coffee houses have become a good place to make friends with strangers, promote feelings with family members and friends and do business transactions. As the intercultural communication deepens and tea culture and coffee culture grow, more and more Chinese people develop a passion for coffee and Americans begin to drink tea.However, there are some similarities and differences between Chinese tea and American coffee culture. Therefore, a study is necessarily carried out to seek for a feasible way for intercultural communication between Chinese and American people.The growing environment of coffee and tea is very different. Coffee grows in hot Africa, South America, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica and other places. These places have tropical or subtropical climate, which is good for coffee growing. Tea grows in mild and humid climate, such as China's Hangzhou and other places. This hot and mild climate is representative of the main differences between Chinese and American cultures.This thesis intends to facilitate the intercultural communication between Chinese and American people by probing into the Chinese tea culture andAmerican coffee culture, especially their similarities and differences. The paper firstly gives some basic information to Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture and then focuses on the similarities and differences between Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture as well as the factors which determine their differences. Finally, a conclusion is given to the whole thesis.1.1 Chinese Tea Culture1.1.1 Brief Introduction of Chinese T ea CultureChinese tea culture is an important component of Chinese traditional culture. The tea has a long record and it is hard to pinpoint exactly when tea begins in Chinese history. There is evidence to suggest that the drinking habits elsewhere in the world originate directly or indirectly from China. According to the definition in The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Language, culture refers to the material and spiritual wealth created in the practice process of human social history. Thus, tea culture refers to the material wealth and the spiritual wealth related to tea. In a narrow sense, tea culture only refers to the spiritual wealth.Chinese tea culture mainly consists of the methods of preparing tea, the equipment for making tea and the occasions when tea is drunk in China. Chinese tea has both the embodiment of Chinese spiritual civilization and the extension of the ideological form. Consequently, it contributes to enriching the cultural wealth and aesthetic appreciations of Chinese people.Tea has an extensive and profound influence on the development of Chinese culture. Tea culture raises the standards of cultural atmosphere. With the development of globalization, Chinese tea culture will have more impacts on other parts of the world in the future.1.1.2 History of Chinese Tea CultureThe story of tea begins in China in this way. In 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nong was sitting under a tree while the servants were boiling drinking water. Suddenly, some leaves fell into the boiling water. Shen Nong, a herbalist, decided on trying the infusion of water and leaves that is created accidentally by his servants. The drink mixing water and leaves is called tea. Since Shen Nong found tea, tea has remained in China for a long time. As a kind of popular drink, tea was accepted and loved by millions of families.China is the homeland of tea. It is believed that tea-shrubs appeared in China as early as five to six years ago and the cultivation of tea plants has a history of two thousand years. Chinese tea, as well as Chinese silk and porcelain, is an outstanding contribution to the world’s material and spiritual civilization.Since the foundation of Chinese People Republic in 1949, the annual production of tea has increased rapidly from 7500 tons to over 60 million tons. In 1982, the first unity “home of tawny man”was set up with the purpose of developing Chinese tea culture. And then in 1998, Chinese international peace tea culture communication house was launched. With the development of tea culture, more and more cities began to hold “the festival of tea”like Yunnan’s Pu-erh tea festival and Fujian Wuyi tea festival.1.2 American Coffee Culture1.2.1 Brief Introduction of American Coffee CultureCoffee tea culture refers to the diffusion and adoption of coffee as a widely consumed stimulant by a culture. Some social atmospheres or social behaviors rely heavily on coffee. In the United States, September 29th is celebrated as “National Coffee Day”, from which we can see the importance of coffee in people’s daily life.1.2.2 History of American Coffee CultureThe history of coffee dates back to the 9th century. Firstly, found in Ethiopia, coffee beans were taken to the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Y e man, Egypt, Persia, Turkey and North Africa in the 15th century. Muslin merchants brought the beans to the port city of V enice and then coffee spread across Europe and eventually arrived in America.The origin of coffee involves varied legends, two of which are widely accepted, that is, the shepherd’s story and Arab monks story.According to the story, a shepherd in Ethiopia named Kaldi noticed one day that the sheep that had eaten the red cherries from a kind of plant suddenly became hyperactive, jumping on the mountain. The shepherd tried some of them and soon became overactive like his herbs. Afterwards, he gave them to the monks to eat and they felt refreshing after eating. Finally, the fruit is used as a refreshing medicine. The fruit is today’s coffee.According to Arab monks story, the snow Chloe marr was banished for a crime for the reason that he had fallen in love with the king’s daughter. Due to desperate starvation, he plucked the fruit from an unknown plant, cooked them and ate. After eating, he became comfortable and refreshed. Therefore, he took a lot of the marvelous fruits with himself. On the way, when he met sick people, he would give them the marvelous fruits. Thanks to his kindness, the king forgave him and let him returned home. The cure medicine was called coffee.Tea and coffee, as two popular drinks in the east and the west, play an important role in people’s daily life. With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living conditions, China and America have formed tea culture and coffee culture with their own characteristics.Chapter Two Similarities of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureAlthough tea and coffee have different origins and history, they share some similarities. On the one hand, they both have a long history. With the globalization of politics, economy and culture, tea appears in the Western countries and coffee also appears in China.On the other hand, tea and coffee have some common functions socially and economically.2.1 Cultures with a Long HistoryBoth tea and coffee have a long history and legendary past. Chinese tea has a long history about five thousand years and coffee dates back to one thousand years. They have become the representatives of the east and the west respectively.As tea and coffee spread widely, numerous tea houses and coffee houses emerge continuously. Just as coffee has become an important part of people’s daily life in the west, tea becomes a part of people’s daily life in China.2.2 Common Social FunctionsTea and coffee are more than daily drinks. Even though they grow in different places, they share common social functions. Their social function is unique and enormous. Nowadays, more and more like relaxing themselves with family members and friends over a cup of coffee or tea.With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living, more and more people go to tea houses or coffee houses for a cup of tea or coffee instead of at home to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.In China, when a guest or a visitor arrives home, the host usually make a cup tea for him to show friendliness and respect. People are always very modest. Even though they offer the guest the best tea at home, they will say they have no good tea to treat the guests. Then they will chat with each other as they drink tea. Drinking tea can cultivate people’s morality, edify appeal and achieve spiritual enjoyment.There are some special cases where tea is provided and consumed. For example, in order to show respect to the elders, the younger generation will offer a cup of tea. Family members sometimes get together in a tea house for a family reunion or meeting. What’s more, children’s serving tea to their parents is regarded as a sign of regret, submission and apology. In addition, in Chinese traditional marriage ceremony,the bride and groom kneel in front of their parents and serve tea to them to show their gratitude and respect.Just like tea, coffee also plays an important role in the society. Coffee houses serve as centers for social interaction and places in which people can chat, relax, exchange ideas and enhance mutual understanding. It concentrates on the relaxation of life and the reception of guests as well. Living in such a fast-developing world, people sometimes desire to find a relaxing environment to enjoy delicious food and refresh themselves. Drinking coffee is not a bad choice. Taking a sip of coffee and recalling the past is the shadow of life.In a word, both tea and coffee has the function of alleviating the mental fatigue and refreshing body and mind. Also, tea and coffee play a significant role in promoting friendship, maintaining personal relationship, activating inspiration and relaxing mind.2.3 Common Economic FunctionsIn the past several decades, Chinese tea industry has developed rapidly. The tea export quantity amount repeatedly broke the record in the past consecutive years. The price of tea rises by 6.66% year by year. Tea is the widely consumed beverage, which can quench their thirst, build character and cure diseases. Tea carries forward the traditional virtues of cultural and artistic shows, self-cultivation and promotes national unity, economic performance and social progress and development of trade. Traditional virtues are accumulated over thousands of years by the ancient people of the good moral respected, embodying national spirit and social habits. Traditional tea culture mainly manifests selfless dedication, perseverance, humility courtesy, diligence and thrift. A prosperous development of the tea industry is going on. China is the only one of the largest tea countries that produces all kinds of tea in the world. The economic value of tea lies in its great contribution to the overall economic development of China.Coffee is also one of the main economic goods in the world trade. Just behind petroleum, coffee is the second most traded product in the world and 7million metric tons of coffee has been produced annually since 2010. According to the statistics, an American worker spends about 20 dollars on coffee every week. In spite of the slow economic growth of the USA, the demand for coffee is still on the increase and coffee still holds a stable and powerful position in the consumption.Chinese tea and American coffee have created GDP to China and Americarespectively. With the development of globalization, the improvement of living conditions and the change of life style, the business of tea and coffee will play increasingly powerful role in boosting the economy.Chapter Three Differences of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureDespite the fact that there exist some similarities between Chinese tea and American coffee, they differ dramatically from each other in terms of origin, efficacy and drinking art.3.1 Origin and DevelopmentCultivated in different places, tea and coffee have distinctive origins and developments.Culture is a delicate thing, at first glance nothing be refined, but penetration in people's daily lives, such as tea, such as coffee.The appearance of tea is said to begin in ancient China more than 5,000 years ago. Shen Nong, an emperor discovered tea leaves and invented the drinking of tea. As the story goes, Shen Nong stopped to have a rest on a visit to remote place and his servants were boiling water to sever the emperor when the leaves from the tree fell into the pot, making a brown drink. Out of curiosity, the emperor tried to sip it and unexpectedly found it refreshing. Later, it became the national wide drink of China, called tea.As the Chinese tea spreads widely, it was firstly introduced to the Arabian and then in the early seventeenth century, it was exported to Europe, from which it spread to the whole world rapidly. Chinese tea, just like Chinese silk and china, has become the symbol of China.The origin of coffee is also intriguing and interesting. According to the story of a shepherd, he observed that his sheep became overactive after eating the red cherries of a certain plant and then he tried some by himself and became hyperactive like his herb. Since then, coffee has been in existence in people’s daily life. Another legend goes that an Arabian was banished to the desert and he and his followers boiled and ate the fruit from the unknown plant due to starvation. The unknown fruit saved them. The fruit is today’s coffee.Coffee beans was first discovered in Ethiopia as a kind of food rather than a drink. Later it was brought to the Middle East and was spread to Egypt, Turkey, Y emen, Persia and North Africa in the 15th century. And then coffee was much popularized by the British India Trade Company in England, from which time coffee has spread across Europe and America.Chinese tea and American coffee have different origins and developing roads andeventually form different cultures and customs.3.2 EfficacyAs popular beverages, Chinese tea and American coffee not only can relax people but also they have unique efficacy.People believe that tea is a healthy drink and a drink of the soul. As to efficacy, tea works effectively against cancer according to scientific studies. It is scientifically confirmed that tea contains a great deal of biochemical ingredients which are beneficial to people’s health. Not only can tea cultivate taste and refresh the spirit., but also cure some common diseases, such as cancer. Additionally, tea helps to fight against harmful bacteria and virus, promote blood circulation and improve the function of the digestive system. It is obvious that tea have many pharmacological effects that are irreplaceable by other drinks.As for coffee, it is found out that coffee can effectively prevent the recurrence of gout. Containing vitamin B, coffee is good for the skin. And it can hold people in high spirit and remove fatigue effectively. However, drinking too much coffee will make people overexcited and cause anxiety and sleep disorder.Tea and coffee enrich people’s life and contribute to their body. Generally speaking, it is better to drink tea than drink coffee because coffee contains too much caffeine, which will on the one hand help people keep a clear head and refresh them and on the other hand stimulate people’s nerves and make them sleepless, causing health risk.3.3 Drinking ArtDrinking tea and coffee is more than to quench thirst. It is also a kind of art, a kind of spirit enjoyment. The drinking art of tea and coffee includes the methods of preparing, the equipment used to boil them and the way to drink.The drinking art of tea is complicated and particular. It is a complex procedure from the growth of tea to the time tea is enjoyed by people. The following four elements in regard to tea art should be paid much attention to.(1)The art of tea leaves: The quality of tea is largely determined by the quality of the prepared tea leaves. Chinese people thought of many good ways to preserve tea leaves so as to keep the original flavor of tea.(2)The art of tea sets: The tool of making tea and the utensil of drinking tea are called tea sets. Tea sets came into being in the slave society and began to change fromMing Dynasty. The shape, color and style of tea sets have experienced a series of changes. The changes in the styles and patterns of tea sets show the development of tea culture(3)The art of water: Water is the foremost element for making good tea. Fresh and clear water is the primary choice. The temperature of water is also very crucial. The optimal temperature of water should be controlled between 80。

茶文化与咖啡文化对比研究
茶文化与咖啡文化对比研究A comparative study of Chinese tea culture and the western coffee cultureSchool of electric power, South China University of technologyXian Y ouqianCulture contains many aspects, for example, diet culture, etiquette culture, clothes culture, custom culture and so on. Different environment and history resulted in different phenomena, like China and the western countries. As all we know, there is tea culture in China, but coffee culture in the western countries. If you earnestly learn something about tea culture and coffee culture, you will find that there are many differences among them. And through this, we can learn more about our own culture, at the same time it can help you communicate with foreign people, and find the reasons why they love coffee.Tea cultureOrigin of tea cultur eTea originated in China, tea culture occupied an important place in our lengthy history. T ea culture is a shining star of the Chinese diet culture. Tea was discovered during 2737 B.C. to 2697 B.C. And then, with the number of people who drink tea increasing, tea culture gradually came into being. According to historical records, tea culture originated in the Jin Dynasty, and tea culture formally came into being in the Tang dynasty, and its silver age was in the Song dynasty.During the southern and northern Dynasties, the society was disordered, various cultural ideologies blended and metaphysics was quite popular. Knights of the pen think that they could keepconscious when they drink tea unlike alcohol. Gradually they treated drinking tea as a spiritual phenomenon. The first book about tea was written by Lu Yu, in the Tang dynasty. “The book of tea” was the earliest existing, themost complete and the most comprehensive tea monograph, which was deemed to tea encyclopedia. In the Song dynasty, there were some professional tea-sampling associations among bookmen. But the popularization of tea culture was in the Ming and Qing dynasty.Embodiment of Tea cultureEtiquetteChina is known as the nation of the etiquette. In us China, we emphasize ceremony. When you go to visit some people or you were invited to your friend’s home, the first thing is to give you a cup of hot tea. As all we know, this means you are welcome there.Carrier of emotionIn China, there is a custom. That is to toast to someone with tea. In Chinese, we call this as Jingcha. Through this, we express our benediction over the other people and our respect for people. When you drink tea with your friends, it is the embodiment of friendship. When someone will be away from you, you can invite him to teahouse to express that you are reluctant to his leaving and you wish to meet him again.The link of SocialityIn China, it doesn’t matter you were familiar with each other, you could drink tea together. In Yibin, Sichuan province, my hometown, people always get together in teahouse. There, they drink tea, and then, they talk with each other. Sometimes some people are doing business. Especially, when in spring festival,people will be willing to expend their day time in the tea house. There, they can meet their friends whohadn’t met for one year because of their going out to work. Through tea, they expanded their circle of friends, at the same time, tea also make friends closer.Embodiment of moralityWhen you brew up tea for the first time, tea tastes bitterly, and then when you append water again, you will find that tea tastes well. So I think Chinese people love drinking tea and this is also embodiment of bearing hardships spirit of Chinese. Chinese can get Satisfaction during labor. So there is an idiom in China: when bitterness was finished, sweetness begins.And tea is also the symbol of probity and self-motivated. We used to say that, “qin g cha dan fan”. And so, many people use tea to express that they don’t car e about fame and wealth.Embodiment of Chinese cultureUsing tea to welcome people is embodiment of our emphasizing etiquette and to express what they really aspire after. And tea culture is deep and implicative. And these are also characteristics of Chinese culture.Coffee cultureCoffee, a word, derives from Greek and the meaning is passion and strength. More and more people like drinking coffee. Coming with that, coffee culture influences us more and more. Nowadays, in China, more and more young people will chose coffee not tea. So we should learn more about coffee culture, and find the reasons why more and more Chinese chose coffee not tea.Origin and d evelopment of coffee cultureAfrica is the hometown of coffee .Coffee tree originated inEthiopia and was brought to Yemen and Arabia with the slave trade. Dutchman brought the alive coffee trees and seeds of coffee to Europe in 1616. Coffee plantation reached most scale in middle South America during 1740 to 1850. Actually it is European to make coffee get back to its hometown and bring coffee to their colonies. And there, with favorable land and climate condition, coffee became flourishing. Nowadays, the cafés are around the world. And coffee is changing our lifestyles and behaviors. Many years ago, when people got up or went to work, they would brew up a cup of tea. But now, people mostly will brew up a cup of full-bodied coffee.Embodiment of coffee cultureEtiquetteIf you go to visit an American family, the host will ask you”Do you want tea or coffee?”most Americans will choose coffee. And this is just to show that you are welcome there.Embodiment of fashionNowadays, more and more people like drinking coffee, especially people in the western countries. And in China, young people will chose to go to a cafénot a teahouse. They all consider drinking coffee fashionable as the same as foreigners.Daily necessityIn the western counties, people will drink coffee every day, whether if they are working or in daily life. They just think that coffee is their daily necessity.The contrast between tea culture and coffee cultureChinese tea culture is more old-line than coffee culture. According to historical records, tea is discovered during 2737 BC to 2697 BC. And tea culture originated in the Jin dynasty and tea and formally came into being in the Tang dynasty. But about 1000years later, coffee was first brought to Europe.Tea culture originated in China, but coffee culture originated in Arabia and the first p popularization of coffee was in western countries. So we can come into a conclusion that their cultural background is different. So their characteristics are also the characteristics of Chinese culture and the western culture. Tea culture is deep and implicative. But coffee culture is direct and full-bodied. Tea is just like the elderly but coffee like young man.。

中国茶的饮用过程注重品茶的乐趣，尝试不同品种的茶，品茶的轻松愉悦。
茶具也是中国茶文化的重要部分。
茶具的质地和设计往往代表品位和身份。
相比之下，西方咖啡文化注重口感和咖啡的加工方式。
咖啡往往加入牛奶或糖，以增加口感或减少苦涩。
此外，西方咖啡文化中的烘焙和磨豆过程也非常重要，不同的咖啡加工方式和磨豆程度能够产生不同的口感和香味。
四、饮用场所中国茶文化注重家庭环境和私人空间。
许多中国茶店建筑结构传统，装饰简约大气。
茶吧、茶馆和茶室也是许多中国人与朋友聚会的喜欢场所。
这些场所通常安静，配有茶具和美好的环境，是放松和舒适的场所。
西方咖啡文化则喜欢在咖啡馆、酒吧和餐厅交换信息和社交。
茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同
茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同茶承载了很多中国文化的元素，可以说是中国人生活方式的一种代表。
而咖啡，则与西方文化有着不解之缘，咖啡代表的是一种精神，一种与西方文化息息相关的热情、自由、开放的精神。
茶和咖啡是当今世界日常生活中最重要的两大饮品。
茶的清香沁人心脾，喝茶时清新淡雅的意境让人陶醉，咖啡的香醇亦是令人如痴如醉，让人在忘我的境界里回味无穷。
茶和咖啡的起源、传播、饮用方式，文化内涵等方面更能折射出中西两种文化的演变和差异。
一、起源与发展 1．茶的起源与发展早在秦汉以前，我国四川一带已盛行饮茶。
西汉时，茶是四川的特产，曾通过进贡传到京城长安，我国古代川东鄂西就是茶树的发祥地。
神农氏是"三苗"、"九黎"部族之首领。
在《史记•吴起传》与《说苑》等古籍中有"三苗氏，衡山在其南，歧山其北，左洞庭之坡，右彭蠡之川"的记载，这说明神农氏的部族发源在四川东部和湖北西部山区，这正是今日大神农架的地域。
《神农百草经》中写到:"神农尝百草，日遇七十二毒，得茶而解之"。
在这样一个植被茂盛，至今还盛产茶叶的环境里，神农尝百草完全是可能的。
从《王褒僮约》所记载的饮茶、卖茶的事实看来，我国汉代以前，川东鄂西地区生产和利用茶叶的事业已相当发达。
人们不难设想从采野茶到人工栽培茶树，从自给自用到"产、供、销"的过程，需要多长年代。
所以说我国祖先发现利用栽培茶叶的历史是悠久的。
自神农氏尝百草得茶以后，在原始公社后期，茶叶成为货物交换的物品。
商末周初，巴蜀人已经开始饮茶，公元前1066年武王伐纣，茶叶曾经作为贡品。
战国时期，茶叶已有一定规模。
在汉朝，茶叶成为佛教"坐禅"的专用滋补品。
而魏晋南北朝，茶立足于长江流域同时向北方普及，饮茶之风扩散开来。
隋唐时代，全民普遍饮茶，茶业昌盛，出现了茶馆、茶宴、茶会，提倡客来敬茶，此时也产生了世界上第一部茶文化专著《茶经》。
浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比
浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比改革开放以来，我国社会不断进步，经济不断发展的同时，茶文化与咖啡文化也有了很大的发展。
以茶与咖啡为基本切入点，其代表着不同的物质文化，茶文化与咖啡文化被称为是中国和西方文化的代表，在其具体的发展过程中，对其精神文明的建设有着重要的意义。
因此，本文主要从茶文化与咖啡文化的起源入手，对其茶文化与咖啡文化的不同点进行细致详尽的探讨，从而更好地促进中国与西方文化的交流与合作。
标签：茶文化；咖啡文化；对比一、引言茶与咖啡是当今社会中普遍流行的饮料，在人们的生产生活中占有重要的地位。
而从茶与咖啡的文化方面的角度来看，其二者各自代表着不同的文化，茶是中国传统文化的象征，从古至今流传而来，有着深厚的历史底蕴。
咖啡文化则是西方国家的典型象征，由于历史背景、生长环境等因素的不同，导致其二者有很大的差异性。
因此，从这个层面来讲，茶和咖啡，有着不同的内涵、历史，那么这个时候就引发了一个问题，茶文化与咖啡文化到底有着怎样的不同。
本文对此进行详细叙述。
二、茶的历史起源及茶文化概述不同年代，茶的功能也不相同，唐人饮茶谈艺术，宋人饮茶重意境，元代饮茶粗犷豪迈，明清讲求修身养性。
自古“琴、棋、书、画、诗、酒、茶”则是文人雅士的七件雅事，俗事文化和雅事文化都包含“茶”，由此可见在这雅、俗两个文化层面，茶占有重要的一席之地。
对茶的历史起源与茶文化进行系统的研究，有助于我们对茶文化有更加系统的了解。
2.1茶的历史起源。
人类的饮茶史据传说从上古神农尝百草之后就开始了，那个时候是作为药用。
相传彭祖得饮茶养生之道，活了八百多岁。
后其携二子彭武、彭夷定居于闽北山中，武夷山因此而得名。
后来周朝统治者借鉴商纣灭亡的原因，颁布禁酒令，倡议群臣百姓以茶代酒。
闽北某山被时闽王划为茶山以备上贡茶叶之用。
有历史记载的是西汉时一个道人吴理真在四川蒙顶山种植茶叶，此后茶叶种植才作为经济作物推广开来。
而中国并没有像日本那样固定下来形式化的茶道，甚至说，中国没有“茶道”这个概念。
中西文化中咖啡与茶文化之对比
摘要：茶与咖啡是目前世界上消耗量占据主要地位的两种饮料。
茶是中国人日常生活的调剂品，具有不可替代的重要地位；咖啡是西方人士生活中的必需品，随处可见。
但茶与咖啡各自代表着中西方国家的文化差异。
关键词：茶文化；咖啡文化；中西方比较近年来，中西方文化差异成为热点研究课题，随着全球经济一体化的深入，各种文化也开始相互渗透、交融。
中国的茶文化因此不可避免的受到西方咖啡文化的影响与挑战。
一、西方咖啡和中国茶的历史起源（1）西方咖啡的历史起源说起咖啡，顾名思义：是一种灌木或者是乔木，带有白色的小花，并且其种子可以用来饮用，或将其研制成粉末。
在古希腊语中咖啡最原始的意义就是粉末或者是乔木。
咖啡最原始的故乡是非洲埃及的咖法省，因此，咖啡名字的由来其实也就是源自于咖法的发音。
最广为流传有关咖啡的神话是：曾经有一个生活在埃及土地上的牧羊人，他的名字叫卡尔迪，一天他在寻找丢失羊群的过程中，发现羊儿正在啃食一种暗红色叶子的红色浆果，这使他感觉非常奇怪，由于处于好奇，他亲自品尝这种红色的浆果，并有一种很兴奋的感觉，能够使昏沉的大脑保持精神高度集中。
这种红色的浆果其实就是咖啡的种子。
（2）中国茶的历史起源茶树主要产于中国西南部的热带以及亚热带地区，这些地区多森林，气候温暖湿润，十分适合茶树生长。
其实，茶属于常绿树种，其带有白粉色花瓣似的5朵花，跟中国的木兰花十分相似.关于中国茶的传说已经有几千年的历史。
中国的农业之神――神农氏是中国历史上最早发现茶的人。
他曾经在《神农本草》书中记载，经过多次实验，发现只有一种植物的叶子能够较好的减轻身体的病痛，这种神奇的叶子就是茶树。
关于饮茶，还有一个故事：古代有一个皇帝，他喜欢坐在树下浇水，恰巧树叶落进水中，他出于好奇喝了这种水，感觉浑身顿时变得轻松，心情也开朗起来，有种焕然一新的感觉，于是他利用这些叶子做了多种实验，促使中国人开始饮茶。
二、西方咖啡与中国茶的主要社会功能（1）西方咖啡的主要社会功能英国早期的咖啡厅主要是用来谈论工作的重要地方，不仅涉及到政治与艺术等内容，同时还涉及到部分文学化的内容等。
中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的比较

中国茶文化、日本茶道、韩国茶礼、英国下午茶和俄罗斯茶俗。
(1)儒释道合一。
中国的茶文化可以说是儒释道三家所共同造就的，它同时融汇儒释道三家的基本原则，茶具有清新、雅逸的自然天性，能使人静心、静神，有助于陶冶情操、去除杂念、修炼身心，这与中国人提倡的“清静、恬淡”的哲学思想相吻合，也符合中国传统儒道佛三家追求的“内省修行”思想。
中国社会科学院研究员王玲教授认为，中国茶文化的精神是以道家的天人合一、天地人三才思想来提携;以儒家中庸和谐的思想为指导;以佛家“普渡众生”的精神为宗旨，中国茶文化是浓缩了中国传统思想精华的一个文化体系。
(2)物质与精神的统一。
茶文化是一种物质文化与精神文化完美结合的中介文化。
茶作为一种物质，它的形和体是异常丰富的，其造型千姿百态、命名丰富多彩，其滋味、色泽、香气又各具特色，形成了极其丰富的产品文化。

中国茶文化与法国咖啡文化之比较
中国茶文化与法国咖啡文化之比较本文从网络收集而来，上传到平台为了帮到更多的人，如果您需要使用本文档，请点击下载按钮下载本文档（有偿下载），另外祝您生活愉快，工作顺利，万事如意！摘要：中国是茶文化的发源地，茶在人们的日常生活中起着举足轻重的作用；咖啡文化对法国人的重要性也正如茶对中国人一样，绝对有过之而无不及。
它们有相似性，但也有很多不同点。
本文就从两者之不同之处入手，对其进行详尽的比较分析。
关键词：中国茶文化；法国咖啡文化；比较分析众所周知，茶和咖啡已成为风靡世界的两大饮品，茶的清香沁人心脾，喝茶时清新淡雅的意境让人陶醉；咖啡的香醇更是令人如痴如醉，让人在忘我的境界里回味无穷。
中国是茶文化的发源地，茶在人们日常生活中起着举足轻重的作用，同样，咖啡对法国人的重要性也正如茶对中国人一样，绝对是有过之而无不及。
法国人说“我不在咖啡馆就在去咖啡馆的路上”，看似简单的一句玩笑话，却是法国人生活的真实写照。
如今，茶和咖啡已经被衍生为茶文化和咖啡文化，都追求一种优雅、放松、静心享受生活，注重品味的一种生活文化。
然而这两者之间除了具有相似性外，还有着许多不同之处。
我们就从以下几个方面做个比较。
一、茶和咖啡的起源关于茶的起源众说纷纭，至今都没有统一的说法。
很多人认为是直接或间接从中国传到世界各国的，但也有证据表明印度和非洲也有可能是茶的发源地。
在国内，关于茶最早的原产地也有好几种说法：西南说，四川说，江浙说等。
尤其是发源时间更是众说不一，分别有神农说，西周说，秦汉说，六朝说等，而且民间流传的神农水晶肚，达摩眼皮变茶树神话故事更是为茶的起源增添了神秘的色彩。
咖啡的起源也是这样，在无数的咖啡发现传说中，基督教发现说《牧羊人的故事》和伊斯兰教说《阿拉伯僧侣》是流传最广的。
不过说法比较一致的是历史学家们都同意咖啡的诞生地是衣索比亚的咔发。
1669年由于土耳其大使把咖啡传入到法国，法国人便把咖啡的文化浪潮推到了最高峰。
关于起源之说，两者虽然都带有扑朔迷离的传奇故事和神话色彩，但值得注意的是两者之间存在着很大差异，它们在各自发展的过程中扮演着不同角色；中国在茶的起源里似乎一直是主角，而法国在咖啡的起源中就有点喧宾夺主的意味了。

浅析中国茶文化和西方咖啡文化的差异
Science &Technology Vision 科技视界英国前首相温斯顿·丘吉尔曾说过,一支烟代表着的一个国度的文化气质。
那么我们是否可以推断,一种饮品或许可以象征一国的文化味道?茶,承载了中国文化的诸多元素,可以说是中国人生活方式的典型代表。
唐朝元稹有诗云,“茶。
香叶,嫩芽。
慕诗客,爱僧家。
”简洁明了的道出了茶的本性及人们对它的喜爱。
而俗话说的“开门七事———柴米油盐酱醋茶”也足以说明茶叶于中国文化生活的重要性;西方人离不开咖啡,又正如中国人离不开茶一样,“我不在咖啡馆,就在去咖啡馆的路上”确是法国人生活的真实写照,故将咖啡看作西方的文化解码也当恰如其分。
如今,茶叶的清新和咖啡的香醇已经为全世界越来越多的人所津津乐道,但却很少有人关注它们所折射出的中西两种文化之间的差异。
下面就让我们从二者的起源和发展谈起,追溯一段被人忽视的岁月。
1茶的起源与茶文化1.1茶的起源茶起源于中国几乎是一个不争的实事。
早在《诗经》和《尔雅》中,就有关于茶树的记载,只不过那时的“茶”是写作“荼”的,如“谁谓荼苦?其甘如荠”(《诗·邶风·谷风》)。
后来唐朝陆羽的《茶经》也有明确记载,“茶者,南方之嘉木也……发乎神农氏,闻于鲁周公”,一个知名的传说便是神农氏“尝百草而得茶”。
为了救济黎民苍生,传说中农耕的创始人神农氏,带着獐鼠打算尝遍山间所有草药。
一天,獐鼠中毒后无意吸允了一颗青树的汁液,便奇迹般的复活了,神农氏尝过汁液后也倍觉神清气爽,便开始号召大家广种此树,这也便是后来的茶树。
关于茶的起源,也有不一致的意见,比如英国一些专家则认为茶发源于印度或亚洲其他地方。
随着考证才明确了19世纪英国在印度发现的茶树是从中国偷运过去的,至此才逐渐达成共识,即中国是茶树的原产地,大体位置是西南地区(也有江浙地区等说法)。
中国人向来是嗜茶的,借用林语堂先生的话说,“中国人最爱喝茶,在家中喝茶,上茶馆喝茶,开会时喝茶……”,的确,留心观察就会发现,像“茶余饭后”、“粗茶淡饭”、“人走茶凉”这样带“茶”的成语几乎脱口而出。
中国茶道和美国咖啡对比
中国茶道和美国咖啡对比中国茶道和美国咖啡是两种不同文化背景下的饮品传统，它们具有独特的氛围和仪式感。
本文将对中国茶道和美国咖啡进行对比，并分析它们在文化、仪式感和社交意义等方面的异同。
一、文化背景中国茶道是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，起源于公元8世纪，凝聚了中国哲学、宗教和礼仪思想。
中国人视茶为一种艺术和精神的象征，讲究品茶、斟茶的仪式，将其渗透进日常生活中。

相比之下，美国咖啡文化的历史相对较短，始于18世纪最初的咖啡馆文化。
美国人倾向于追求快节奏的生活方式，他们将咖啡视作促进社交和提神的饮品。
咖啡馆成为了社交活动和休闲娱乐的场所，富有活力和创意。
二、仪式感中国茶道强调仪式感和礼仪，茶席上的布置和陈设精心设计。
传统的茶道包括烧水、取茶、冲泡、斟茶等一系列流程，每个环节都有特定的动作和姿势。
品味茶的过程需静心细品，以感受茶叶的气味、口感和香气。
在美国，咖啡文化更注重个性和个人喜好。
咖啡店提供各种各样的咖啡饮品，顾客可以根据自己的口味选择不同的咖啡豆和调制方法。
咖啡饮品的制作过程也具有一定的仪式感，例如手冲咖啡、拉花艺术等。
然而，美国人更注重享受咖啡的口感和咖啡店的氛围，而非追求传统的仪式感。
三、社交意义中国茶道被视为传统礼仪的一部分，用于待客和社交场合。
茶席上人们可以自由交流、深入思考并增进彼此之间的理解。
茶道中讲求和谐、尊重和友善的待人方式，这种社交方式充分体现了中国人的传统价值观。
美国的咖啡文化更加开放和便利，咖啡馆成为了人们社交和结交朋友的场所。
在咖啡馆里人们可以一边享受咖啡一边聊天、开展工作或进行学习。
美国人重视社交与人际关系，咖啡馆提供了一个社交的平台，也创造了社交的机会。
总结：中国茶道和美国咖啡在文化背景、仪式感和社交意义等方面存在较大差异。
茶道强调中国传统文化的沉淀和精神追求，注重内省、平和和和谐。
而美国的咖啡文化更加注重个性化、便利和社交的方式，更接近现代生活方式的需求。

Tea culture is a shining star of the Chinese diet culture. Tea was discovered during 2737 B.C. to 2697 B.C. And then, with the number of people who drink tea increasing, tea culture gradually came into being. According to historical records, tea culture originated in the Jin Dynasty, and tea culture formally came into being in the Tang dynasty, and its silver age was in the Song dynasty.During the southern and northern Dynasties, the society was disordered, various cultural ideologies blended and metaphysics was quite popular. Knights of the pen think that they could keep conscious when they drink tea unlike alcohol. Gradually they treated drinking tea as a spiritual phenomenon. The first book about tea was written by Lu Yu, in the Tang dynasty. “The book of tea” was the earliest existing, themost complete and the most comprehensive tea monograph, which was deemed to tea encyclopedia. In the Song dynasty, there were some professional tea-sampling associations among bookmen. But the popularization of tea culture was in the Ming and Qing dynasty.Embodiment of Tea cultureEtiquetteChina is known as the nation of the etiquette. In us China, we emphasize ceremony. When you go to visit some people or you were invited to your friend’s home, the first thing is to give you a cup of hot tea. As all we know, this means you are welcome there.Carrier of emotionIn China, there is a custom. That is to toast to someone with tea. In Chinese, we call this as Jingcha. Through this, we express our benediction over the other people and our respect for people. When you drink tea with your friends, it is the embodiment of friendship. When someone will be away from you, you can invite him to teahouse to express that you are reluctant to his leaving and you wish to meet him again.The link of SocialityIn China, it doesn’t matter you were familiar with each other, you could drink tea together. In Yibin, Sichuan province, my hometown, people always get together in teahouse. There, they drink tea, and then, they talk with each other. Sometimes some people are doing business. Especially, when in spring festival, people will be willing to expend their day time in the tea house. There, they can meet their friends whohadn’t met for one year because of their going out to work. Through tea, they expanded their circle of friends, at the same time, tea also make friends closer.Embodiment of moralityWhen you brew up tea for the first time, tea tastes bitterly, and then when you append water again, you will find that tea tastes well.
