篇一:《中西方文化差异英语作文》
Difference betweenChinese and Western cultures
Undoubtedlythereare so many differences between Chinese and Western culture, such as manners, language and so many others. Maybe history is one of the major cause of it .Chinese culture is older than 5000 years, and Chinese people have developed their own music, musical instruments, painting techniques, traditional Chinese medicine, and not to forget, cooking methods as wellwhich is completely different and unique when compared to Western culture.So this time I’m going to pick some aspects and talk about it.
Like what mentioned above, cooking methods of China is totally different from the westerns’.Not like west people, we have so many ways to deal with foods.It is said that there are more than fifty ways for a Chinesecook to choose every time he dealing withthe same kind offood.No wander to be a great cook in china you have to start training from young child. ComparedwithChinese, westerns seems to be more casual when they are cooking. They usually cook food by frying or stewing. Because they would like to put emphasis on food’s nutrition not the taste of it.
When it comes to the aspect of men’s behavior, there is a vast difference in the rules of behavior between Chinese and Westerns. Westerns are more willing to change the environment rather than adapting themselves to it, which is opposite to Chinese people. Affected by the ancient philosophies of China, we believe in that we must get ourselves into one certain environment. For example, once we come into a new group, we are always told to follow others so that we can become one of it. But westerners would like to make them change and teach them to work in his way.
Besides the behavior of people from two distinct culture, the realization of self-worth is different for Chinese and westerns. Affected by the Confucius’s philosophy from the ancient time. We believed that we should put our countryahead of our own interests. One can be respected only by making contribution for his country, like some war heroes. But westerns do respect those who succeed in his own lives. They believe that man who achieve goals of happiness and success by working hard is worth others’ respecting. Maybe that can explains why so many millionaire inChina can’t have the equal reputation compared to those westerns’.
Anyway, Westerners usuallyfind the Chinese culture complex, and hard to understand, as the Chinese culture has its own values, background and belief system.

材料作文“东西方文化”及范文四篇
【作文题目】
2014年2月14日,元宵节与情人节碰头。年轻人面临亲情与爱情的选择:当汤圆遇上玫瑰,陪“佳人”还是陪家人?不少年轻人颇为纠结。几年前,美国知名咖啡店星巴克在北京故宫开设分店,也引起轩然大波。有人说,这是两种文明的冲突,有人说,这是一段东西方文化相互融合的佳话,也有人说,这是社会变化的必然结果。
对此你有什么想法?请结合现实,自主立意,自定文体,写一篇800字以上的文章。
【范文四篇】
古老的敌意
我大国泱泱上下五千年文明,自李唐盛世八方使者来见,无不臣服,可能便是由那时起我们的祖先便从心底滋生出了那么一份十足的优越感。至于清末闭关锁国,对外来先进技术不屑一顾,经济衰微,江河日下。直到今日,我们才清醒地认识到,中国与外国的对话,不是颐指气使的俯视,不是顶礼膜拜的仰视,而是平等的直视。
曾经沧海已逝,荣华与屈辱都荡涤无存,惟留下的,似乎是对老一辈人的古老的敌意。之所以是古老,就在于它的代代传承,不停不息。时至今日这份充斥敌意的血液才被渐渐稀释,因为我们知道,这不是文明之间的冲突,而是历史必然的融合。
荷尔德林曾说:“人生充满劳绩,但却诗意地栖居在大地之上。”我们本应诗意,却为何要选择敌意呢?元宵节与情人节的不期而遇,本就不是火星撞地球,而是一次潜行于历史中漫长等待后中西文明的相遇,当你苦恼于家人和“佳人”时,当你一手汤圆一手玫瑰不知抉择时,何不带着“佳人”回家一同陪伴家人,何不让中西文化来一次盛大的会面。
要知道,选择诗意还是敌意,决定的按钮自始至终都只有一个掌控者,那就是你自己。古老的敌意的产生虽能追溯其源,但并非其本。人们的姿态摆高了,打开中国地图一看,自己居然是中心!殊不知在别人的地图上,我们只是偏居一隅,甚至偏安一隅。降低自己高昂的头颅,方能正视这个世界的本来面目,学会取其精华,才不会等到我们死守老本直至腐朽才恍悟。
如何消解这份敌意,关键便在于接纳。接纳那支艳红的玫瑰,接纳那杯温暖的星巴克,文明的冲突或许会被解开,会让你感受到焕然一新的世界。
古老的敌意,历久却并不可怕。作为一个时代的新人,我们是推动历史进程的新潮。消解这份敌意,让中西方文明能够有机地融合,这是一个全新的时代,这是一个由我们所创造的时代。
坚守!坚守!
当汤圆遇上玫瑰,年青一代在传统节日与西方节日之间徘徊;星巴克开进了北京故宫,古老的胡同里飘扬着咖啡豆的香味。到底该热情地张臂拥抱,还是迟疑地摆手拒绝。 首先,摇头对外来文化说不似乎不可能。它们有如细流,虽无扑面袭来之势,但已无法阻挡。韩国将端午节作为本国节日申遗之事引起不少国人的愤。但在我看来,这就是各国文化相互融合、碰撞的最好例证。韩国是中国近邻,文化交融不可避免。所以放在当今全球化的局面来考虑,各国文化渗入这篇黄土再正常不过。
但仅因为全球化便对外来文化侵袭视而不见吗?五千年文明孕育了我们,意味着我们背负着坚守传统文化的使命。
为何当传统佳节元宵与情人节相碰时,年轻人会犹豫?为何星巴克进军故宫会引起轩然
篇三:《英语作文-东西方文化差异 -Cultural differences》
Cultural differences
There are plenty of. people in the world. They come from different countried, have their
own race, belief and way of life. What is more, their culture is different from others'. So,
there is no doubt that cultural difference exist among lots of countries, especially between
eastern and western countries.
Compared with the way of life, eastern people always have a bath in the evening or at
night in order to relax themselves after one-day's hard work while western people take a
bath in the morning. so as to keep freshly for the whole day. In general, it is true,
especially for Chinese people. We, Chinese people would like to take baths at night rather
than in the morning. It is a kind of habits we behave all the time.{关于中外文化的作文}.
Compared with the relationships, differences are as follow: firstly, eastern people like to
make friends, sometimes through their friends, parents, relatives. While western people
behave a little shyly. They do not want to make friends all the time. Secondly, eastern
people would like to hang out with the person they do not know about quite a lot. while
western people just like going out with the person whom they get along well with.
Finally, eastern people have much more friends than western people for their quite
different way of getting along with. their friends. There is no doubt that eastern people
are more outgoing than western people, so I agree with these a lot.
As for way of solving problems, eastern people always deal with things indirectly. They
pay much attention to many things around them, and always work for a long time to solve
the problem. However, western people just go straight the heart of the problem and solve
it directly and efficiently. As far as I am concerned, this difference between eastern and
western people is quite normal and correct. Eastern people, especially Chinese people
care about things around them a lot, they always want to satisfy everyone's need, so that
they spend much more time to solve a problem than western people.
As for way of thinking, people in eastern areas usually think indirectly. They used to
think about the things around them a lot and try to deal with things in a reasonable even
perfect way. However, in comparison with the eastern people, people in the western areas
often think directly. They pay less attention to the things around them and care much
more about themselves. Honestly speaking, I disagree to this.In my opinion, everyone is
special and has their right and obligations to do things. There is no need for us to critise
others and what we should do is to respect their own. decision.
There are a lot of differences between eastern and western culture. These are the symbols
of their own characteristics and we need time to dig out more differences so as to learn
more about them. Most importantly, we must respect their culture firstly!
篇四:《中西文化差异英文作文》
Communication Ways of Chinese and Americans
Human communication is the foundation of building a harmonious society, and the emotions that people expressed are the most important part of communication. Emotions, include friendship, family affections and love, are reflected in how you treat others and what the others think of you. Chinese and Americans both have a wealth of emotions, but there are different ways to express the same emotion, which isthe difference between the two nations.
First of all, emotions of Chinese and Americans are similar, they are both full of passion for the world. For friends, Chinese are very hospitable, and Americans are the same. Chinese always show the best things to visitors whenthe visitorsare present. Similarly, there is also more food on the table when gusts are present in America. And for family members, parents love their children and the kids respect their parents naturally both in the United States and in China. For lover, people from China and America both think love is specific and sacred, and they both treat love seriously.
Despite these similarities, the ways to express emotion are quite different between Chinese and Americans.
There are different ways to make friends and maintain friendship in China and in the United States. The intimacies among friends are quite high in China, which reflected in the personal relationship and the money.It is common to use someone’s own personal resources to help a friend to find a job in China. It is also common that the richest man pays the bill when friends gather at a meal. But it is very rare between friends in the United States. Americans insist that friends should have their own personal space and personal privacy.The friendship needs not only the personality of independence, but also the economic independence. That difference mainly depends on the different national values. Chinese people follow the Confucianist culture, which makes REN as the core, and Americans emphasizethe individualism.
Chinese and Americans also have different ways to express emotions with family members at home. Parents use an implicit and intrapersonal way to express their emotions in China, but American parents usually directly say “I love you” to
theirchildren.Children will always be children in the eyes of parents in China, they need to be taken care of and protected. Children rely on their parents andthey are also the hope of their parents in the future. However, in western countries, both parents and children are independent individualsand they are not dependent on each other. It is also the influence of the traditional culture of the East and the West.
For love expressing, Chinese and Americans also have complete different ways. It is a tradition to use poetry to express love no matter in the East and the West. Throughout the works of poetry at all times, we find that Chinese poetry are usually described some natural scenes to express the author’s love, just like “Butterfly ' s Loved Flower”. However a direct expression is usually used in the western poetry. Different expressing ways also reflect in different traditional culture.
With the globalization of economy and information technology, the communication of people from all over the world becomes more and more frequent. Maybe the difference between the East and the West will be cut down and the similarity between them will increase. However, in the present and visible future, we must recognize that the difference of value still exists. Only realizing the difference can we better communicate with others. And only respecting the different national culture can we promote the development of cultural diversity, promote the communication of all the countries.

中国的传统文化的作文(一)
春节是我国最隆重的传统文化。听老师说:古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽,长年深居海底,每到除夕就到岸上的村子上吞食牲畜、伤人性命。因此到了除夕这天,人们躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕,村东头婆婆给乞讨老人一些食物,并劝他上山躲避“年”兽,那老人有办法把那个怪兽撵走。“年”闯进了村子,发现大门上贴着大红纸,屋内烛火通明。院内突然传来“噼噼啪啪”。“年”大惊失色,落荒而逃。于是,老人向人们传授了驱赶“年”兽的办法。从此,每年除夕,家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹。
过年前几个星期,我和妈妈把家里打扫了一遍,又拿毛巾我擦窗户,妈妈擦桌子;奶奶买来肉,我们就赶快把肉放在锅里蒸,蒸好了我们把它和成肉馅,又擀皮,包饺子;我们又和面,蒸馒头;三十晚上我们看联欢晚会。
大年初一,我们换上了新衣服,去吃饭,天快亮了,我们走家串户发压岁钱,有一元、二元、十元、五十元和一百元。回到家爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶也给了我许多钱。

中华民族五千年的文明,积淀了丰富多彩的传统文化,我们有精美的民间工艺;如:剪纸、陶瓷,有古老的民族艺术,如:戏剧、图画;有宏伟的古代建筑,如:故宫、长城;有美丽的神话、传说,如:女娲补天、盘古开天地;还有中国传统节日,如:中秋节、重阳节。我最喜欢的是传统节日——端午节。
农历五月初五为端午节,又称端阳节、午阳节、五月节等等。相传爱国诗人屈原在农历五月初五这天怀抱石头投泪罗江自尽,两岸百姓知道了,纷纷划船捞他的尸体,并向江中放粽子,使鱼、虾饱食后不吃他的尸体。此传说历代沿袭下来,演变成端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟的习俗。端午节,家庭要备一桌丰盛于平日的饭菜,全家共享。大人会在不能喝酒的小孩头上沾上雄黄,或画一个“王”字,去病消灾。吃粽子早在1300多年前的唐朝,吃粽子已在流行。赛龙舟当时楚人因舍不得贤臣屈原死去,于是有许多人划船拯救,借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼以免鱼吃掉屈原的尸体。竟渡之习,盛行于吴、越、楚。
这让我感受到了五千年传统文化的博大精深,我为中华民族的灿烂文化而倍感自豪。
