What are the 10 differences between Chinese and foreign cultures?

10 The differences between Chinese and foreign cultures are:

1, Diet: China people pay great attention to form, while Europeans are very practical.

Tableware: China people use chopsticks, while Europeans use knives and forks.

3. Way of thinking: China people think abstractly, while westerners think concretely.

4. Attitude towards life: China people pay more attention to spiritual feelings, while westerners pay attention to practicality.

5. Culture: Our oriental culture mainly embodies the concept of "harmony". This concept pays attention to the harmony between man and heaven, man and society, and man and man. It advocates that everything conforms to nature and heaven, especially does not advocate excessive intervention in nature, and all human activities should be carried out in a natural state.

Western culture pays more attention to rationality, advocates fundamentally understanding the world, grasping the world with rational thinking, and actively transforming the world to adapt it to us. Under this idea, people pay more attention to material life and science pays more attention to theoretical research.

6. Consumption concept: East and West are very different. The western value orientation is based on the quality of life, which advocates living for oneself, not for others, for today, not for tomorrow, for this generation, not for the next generation, and saving money for children. Orientals like to save money.

7. Privacy concept: Westerners respect human nature and don't peep at and spread other people's privacy, such as age, income and sex life. Orientals have an inexplicable interest in personal privacy. They like to talk about privacy in private, spread privacy through gossip, and even use privacy as a tool to play tricks on people. This is a kind of cultural ignorance and backwardness.

8. Fertility concept: Europeans are reluctant to have children, for fear that children will affect their quality of life. Therefore, on the whole, western developed countries are experiencing negative population growth, with little pressure on population, resources and ecology. There are still quite a few people in China who advocate having many children and being blessed, and raising children to prevent old age.

9. Concept of competition: The traditional culture of China is centered on the feudal Confucian culture. Confucianism emphasizes the doctrine of the mean, too much is too late, and harmony is more expensive. The market economy, on the other hand, advocates competition, emphasizing that commercial warfare can defeat opponents and win its own development. Europeans believe that society needs competition, people need competition, competition gives motivation and competition gives talents, so that the economy will develop rapidly in diversified competition.

10, Work attitude: Most Americans are also extremely diligent, but at the same time Americans also have a hedonistic side, so they advocate working hard while enjoying themselves. China is closer to the United States. Only China people need to improve their work efficiency and added value.
