A: Having studied English for so long, what do you think make up the cultural differences between China and the Western world?
B: Oh, there is plenty. For example in terms of culinary and cookery, Chinese emphasize on form and appearance,as often categorized into "colour, smell and taste." Therefore, there is a very large variety of Chinese cuisines. On the other hand, in Western cuisine, dishes focus on more substantial aspects such as nutrition and quality. I think these are the major differences between Chinese food and Western food.
A: Indeed, colours have different symbolic meanings to different countries. In Chinese culture, red represents fortune, wealth and happiness; whereas in Western countries, red is the colour of blood, implying impulsion, defiance and chaos. Therefore, Chinese prefer to wear red on important festivals; whereas Westerners tend to choose blue, which is often regarded as a representation of calmness and composure.
B: What do you think is the difference in terms of logics?
A: Chinese people have more abstract logics, Westerners more concrete.
B: What about their attitudes towards life?
A: To Chinese people, sensual and psychological experience is more important. Westerners focus on practicality and usefulness.
B: I agree. In general Chinese people rarely express their friendliness through means of intimate physical contact.
A: Yes, and I think it is a shame.
