Differences between eastern and western cultures

Eastern culture and western culture have the following differences:

1. Food culture: In terms of food, China people attach great importance to form and "color, aroma and taste", so in China cooking, the styles of dishes are ever-changing, and each dish pays great attention to the collocation of color, aroma and taste. Europeans, on the other hand, are very practical. They never try to change the color of their dishes. They pay more attention to their own nutrition collocation and protection, and pay attention to the internal quality of dishes.

2, the difference between tableware: the West was divided from the beginning, which derived the westerners' thoughts and habits of paying attention to independence. When children grow up, they will break into the world independently. The dining system brought by chopsticks highlights the family unit where the old and the young sit together, thus giving orientals a relatively strong family concept.

3. Color preference: In the cultural background of China, red represents luck, wealth and auspicious celebration, while in the western concept, red is the color of blood, indicating impulsiveness, provocation and turmoil. China people like to wear red clothes on festive occasions, while westerners generally choose blue because they think blue represents calmness and composure.

4. The difference of thinking mode is that China people think abstractly, while westerners think concretely.

5. The difference in attitude towards life lies in that China people pay more attention to spiritual feelings, while westerners pay attention to practicality.

6. In painting and sculpture art: Chinese painting is freehand brushwork, while western oil painting pays attention to the proportion of human body and optical principle.
