Comparison of Traditional Chinese and Western Holiday Food

Food is the most important thing in life. Whenever you think of festivals, you will be associated with food, such as New Year's Eve dinner is indispensable, the family get together and have a good time; the first month of the 15th Lantern Festival is of course to eat the Lantern Festival; May 5 over the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to eat rice dumplings; August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival, we have to eat mooncakes, and so on. Festive food in our country festival culture in the proportion is obvious. But I have not heard in the Western traditional festivals to eat what food, take the most representative of Christmas (currently also very popular in our country), in this day people get together to celebrate the holiday staple food - turkey, as if there is no impression, but rather Santa Claus, Christmas tree, Christmas cards, Christmas gifts to our deeper impression. The other important western festival, Christmas tree, Christmas cards and Christmas gifts are more impressive to us. Another important western traditional holiday - Thanksgiving Day, we pay more attention to the meaning of the holiday itself - "thanksgiving", "thankfulness" than on this day. We pay more attention to the meaning of the holiday itself-"thanksgiving" and "gratitude"-than we do to what we eat on this day. Dietary customs are social regulations and agreed-upon social behaviors in human dietary culture. Due to the geographical, social, economic and cultural differences between China and the West, there are differences between the two in terms of holiday diet. I. Dietary practices in the Chinese and Western festival culture in different proportions Dietary culture in traditional Chinese festivals occupies an important position, the celebration of traditional Western festivals occupies the main position, the dietary practices are relatively less content. Important traditional festivals in China have their own representative food. Like the Lantern Festival to eat Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival to eat dumplings, Mid-Autumn Festival to eat moon cakes, the first day of the Lunar New Year to eat dumplings. Food culture is the main part of our traditional festivals.
