In different ecological or natural environment,different nations
created their own special culture as well as were modeled by their own
culture.In brief,customs are the summations of consuetude,etiquette
and faith which have been established for a long time in human
society.They are also the social convention of folk life and culture
model type.Customs vividly reflect the nation's habit of public life
and characteristic culture.To get a better understanding of the
different culture,here customs in the U.S.and China are taken for
comparison.Through the comparison,we may have a clearer idea about
different cultures and understand the essence of modern civilization
between East and West.
The contents of customs are wide,including
wedding customs,social etiquette,customs of entertainment and so on.
Some similarities and differences of customs in the above aspects can be
found.
Wedding customs in both countries have gone through for a
long time.As a most grand thing in people鈥檚 life,they are always
attracted a high degree of attention.People will publicly ensure the
relationship between husband and wife with the wedding.
1.However,
Western wedding is solemn and romantic,and the emphasis is sacred and
simple------ "the wedding before God ",while Chinese wedding is
particular about boisterousness and joyousness,also can give
consideration to personal affection of the relatives of the bride and
groom.It shows the significance of Chinese traditional cultural------
鈥渢he wedding before people鈥?
2.The traditional American bride wears
a long white gown and a veil,armed with white flowers.In West,white
is the symbol of purity and sincereness.In China,traditional bride
wedding dress is red-----the symbol of festival and lucky.
3.The
American wedding is often an expensive affair.It鈥檚 usually paid for by
the bride鈥檚 parents,although the groom and his parents help prepare the
guest list.The dining costs of the wedding are generally shared by
both sides.The bride and groom toast separately to each guest to
express their
thanks.(1)
In
both countries,funeral is the last etiquette of a person鈥檚 life,the
dialogue and spirit contact between the living and the dead.People can
express to the respect and concern to the departed.
However,in China
friends and relatives would come to the funeral to condolence the
departed.After that,they wouldn鈥檛 visit the departed鈥檚 home,for there
is taboo that people fear to have bad luck.In America,the call of
condolence should be made as soon as possible after hearing of the
death.If the friends are very close,people can offer services to help
in any way he or she can.People also send plants or flowers to the
family a few days after funeral.This shows the sympathy and love which
is totally different from
Chinese.
(2)
Social
etiquette can smooth the paths between people and help people establish
friendly and pleasant relationships.They aren鈥檛 a set of serious
rules.On the contrary,they are a code of behavior,based on kindness
and consideration.In both countries,respect is the foundation of
interpersonal relationship.
When making new acquaintances and
introductions,there are three common basic rules in both countries:
first,a man is always introduced to a woman; second,a young person is
always introduced to an older person; third,a less important person is
always introduced to a more important person.
However,there are some
differences in appellation in these two countries.In China,people
like to call other with titles which are the symbols of the identity and
status.While in American,people call other鈥檚 name directly to show
their intimacy.In addition,when talking with people,American seldom
talk about personal business,such as age,marriage,income,faith and
so on.While in China,people don't care about others to get a general
understanding of his or her life.
(3)
Holding
dinner party is essential activity to improve emotion in people's
social interaction.The social function of the party must not be
overlooked in both countries.
Although food is indispensable in daily
life,the differences in concepts of food can be found in these two
countries.Chinese pay attention to the color,taste and appearance of
food in the dinner,while American focus on the nutrition.In China,
people talk and laugh in the dinner.They also like to toast and service
food to other guests.However,things are different in America.People
keep quiet in the dinner and only help themselves for the food they
like.They think it鈥檚 impolite to talk and service food to
others.
(4)
With the
comparison study,we can learn that different countries have their own
customs which vividly reflect the nation鈥檚 life habit,human behavior,
moral principles,etc.Customs are the principal part and core of the
history of human social life.Divers as they are,customs are partly the
essence of modern civilization,based on different backgrounds,having a
impact on people鈥檚 thoughts and behaviors.No matter however different
they are,customs have
gradually formed their own characteristics
after thousands of years of development and evolution.Nowadays
countries all over the world have close connections with each other.
People should simply understand different cultures,and customs are one
of interesting ways to exchange and integrate different cultures.When
promoting diversification in culture,every country should stick to the
characteristic and independence of its own culture.
