Abstract

Food plays a crucial role in the growth of society and human civilization. It is an essential premise for human existence. However, different states have different food and food habits. That is because they have different cultures, especially food culture. This thesis expounds the differences in terms of food culture between China and western countries. By analyzing these differences, we can improve our ability in cultural communication. Food culture is a special cultural phenomenon. This thesis endeavors to analyze the cultural differences in terms of Chinese and Western food cultures from the perspectives of concept, content, etiquette, and the eating ways of food, and points out that with the development of cross-cultural communication, more communication and interaction will arise between Chinese and Western food cultures and they will develop together.
