Abstract: The food dietetic culture plays an important role in the world culture. Because of the differences between Chinese and western cultural traditions, the Chinese and western dietary cultures are different in concept, target, pattern, attribution and nature. We study these differences and then find out the points that can shed lights on the inter-cultural communication. Taiwan Professor Zhang Qijun said, “The old saying, 'Eat, drink are what man and woman wish greatly'. With the further deepening of China's opening up, cross-cultural international communication has been increasing rapidly. Food culture plays an important role in it.
Key Words: Chinese and Western dietary cultures; cross—cultura1 communication; differences
摘要:饮食文化在世界文化中起着非常重要的作用,由于中西方文化传统的差异,导致了中西方饮食文化在观念、对象、方式、归属与性质方面产生了差异,研究这些差异,找出可以融会贯通的地方,促进中西文化交流。台湾张起钧教授说过“古语说‘饮食男女人之大欲存焉’”。随着我国对外开放的进一步深入,我国的跨文化国际交际日益增多。而饮食文化在其中的力量不可小觑。
