We all need to learn the differences between Chinese and Western culture. Diet ·Cooking method is different. There are many cooking methods in China, such as stir-frying, pan-frying,quick-frying,deep-frying,boiling, steaming, etc. Chinese people always try their best to use these cooking methods to make the food better, so they pay attention to forms. In addition, rice is Chinese main food. Westerner's cooking method is very simple.Boiling is the regular method. Keeping the food's nutritional value is the most important thing for them,so they do not pay attention to cooking methods, they focus on content. Bread is Westerners' main food, and fast food is very popular in their countries. ·Tableware is different. Chinese use chopsticks. We all know that it's hand, and fork is in left hand. It reflects independence. ·Dining mode is different. Chinese family often sit together at the table,eating all the food there, so Chinese people have an overall concept. While Westerners put the food into small pieces in advance, and one piece for each person, you can see that Westerners have individual consciousness. ·Drinking is different. Chinese people like drinking tea, because it can refresh, eliminate fatigue, and improve endurance.With the development of our society and improvement of people's living standard, more and more teahouses are built. You can feel Chinese tea culture from their decorative styles. Westerners like drinking coffee, which comes from the Greek "Kaweh”. It means power and passion. Etiquette culture Etiquette is the rule of communication, and it is also a language and a tool. Because of the differences in national history, the etiquette culture is different. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
