Nowadays,in western countries,the association degree increas⁃ing,in the process of communication,if on the other side of the culture is not enough to know,in the actual communication will exist serious misunderstanding and cultural feature is not obvious,the passage of time will affect both in Chinese and Western countries.Therefore,cul⁃tural exchange placed to is an important position,in different coun⁃tries and geographical features,historical background and a variety of different types of development factors analysis,find the differences be⁃tween cultures,promote cultural fusion.

一、The manifestation of Chinese and Western cultural differences

1,the difference of marriage

On the western culture,in the process of the analysis of their dif⁃ferences can be seen,the cultural background is different,the differ⁃ence is obvious.For western countries,if a couple has been married for more than 5 years,it is generally hard to believe.Because,West⁃erners believe that when there is no love between two people,you can choose a divorce.And for the representative of the Chinese people, due to the traditional ideas and moral influence,husband and wife say marriage continue to the end.The single mindedness of the thought is more serious.This is also the eastern people divorce rate is significant⁃ly lower than the main reason for the west.

2,there is adifference in the response to praise

For the Chinese people,after listening to praise,tend to show more modest.For example,to hear people praise their own smart or beautiful,often will deny the praise of others.In the East,modesty is a virtue.But there is a certain difference between the way and the West. If people praise Westerners beautiful or smart,they will be very polite thanks.So this is the difference between the East and the West.In ad⁃dition,Orientals tend not to praise their family on the outside,while Westerners are different.Because of the serious differences between values and ideas,so that people in the East and West tend to appear after the praise,but they are not so different from each other.

3,call the difference

For westerners,whether in any situation,the speaker's seniority how can directly call each other's names or surnames.It seems to be normal in their eyes.But for the Chinese people,only in the case ofthe speaker's age can be directly addressed by the name of the person. If the age difference between the larger,often with Mr.,miss,uncle, aunt,or is the word position,this is the ideology of the Chinese polite⁃ness and pecking order.There is a difference in the culture,resulting in the name is also different.

二、the reasons for the differences between Chinese and Western culture

There are many reasons for the differences between Chinese and Western culture,which can be analyzed from the following three as⁃pects:

1,geographical differences

From the western geographical form,China is in a continental en⁃vironment,closed form more prominent,the living environment from a certain extent restricts people's ideas,long ideas are showing some within the conservative type.The influence of formal geographical fac⁃tors,makes a lot of Chinese showed Changle and introverted character of contentment.But by the impact of this factor,China is too conserva⁃tive in the idea,the lack of a pioneering spirit.And Westerners are more close to the ocean,not only economic and trade are relatively well developed,long-term living in the marine environment,more hu⁃man enthusiasm also showed the characteristics of certain innovation and explore the unknown.

2,economic differences

Economic reasons can not be underestimated.Chinese economy is the typical agricultural economy.For a long time,the self-suffi⁃ciency of the natural economy in the Chinese community to occupy a dominant position.The people are law-abiding conservative,seeking stability,the character of abundance.Western countries belong to the marine economy,so the western character is more outgoing,like to ex⁃plore the unknown.

3,thinking

Chinese people have always respected the Confucian doctrine, the Confucian doctrine requires that people take the overall situation, the collective as the center,opposed to excessive performance of self. This makes the Chinese culture as the main characteristics of the group.The central idea of the Renaissance is humanism,to promote the supremacy of individualism,insisted on developing their own,self expression,so western culture with individuality as the main feature, Westerners pay more attention to the individual interests,the pursuit of human rights,advocatingfreedom

三、summary

Because of geography,history,culture and customs,the Chinese and the West have a big difference in the ideological and cultural as⁃pects.And cultural differences are the obstacles of intercultural com⁃munication,which is an important problem that we are facing.We should correct understanding and definition of cultural differences,un⁃derstanding of the cultural background of different regions,respect the social habits and customs,actively improve their own cultural adapt⁃ability,make Chinese culture will be in the collision of continuous in⁃tegration,in exchange for continuous development.
