Chinese weddings
• Chinese wedding customs are still maintained traditional style. Chinese wedding wearing a red cheongsam. The Chinese regard the color red as the symbol of happiness， success， luck， faith and growth． They like red very much， which comes from worship of the Sun． In traditional Chinese weddings， there are double Xi characters in red， red scarves， red flowers and the bride wears a red coat.
The atmosphere of Western-style food is particular about scenery. The good restaurant is generally built in the beautiful mountaintop, park or the revolving dining-room of the city center high building. So Western-style food is “Eat the scenery” but not “Eat taste”.

The Differences between Chinese and western Culture
Diet
For one thing, Chinese and Westerners are different concepts in the diet. Chinese people are focus on the taste. They pursue all the Color, flavor and taste. But Western concept of rational diet. They pursue nutrition and they absorb Calorie and protein .Chinese people choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material in order to make delicious food. Western country like English or American, they don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sells stored materials. Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniques for cooking. For example, We can cook a chicken in over ten ways and people can taste all them with relish. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food.
首先,中国人和西方人在饮食上是不同的概念。中国人民正在关注的味道。他们追 求所有的色、香、味。但西方的概念合理饮食。他们追求提高和他们吸收热量和蛋 白质。中国人民非常小心地选择食物。他们只使用新鲜的材料来制造可口的食物。 西方国家像英国或美国,他们没有新鲜的食品,因为它们从超市买他们的食品,只出售 存储材料中国有很多的想法和技巧用于烹饪。 例如,我们可以煮鸡在超过十种方法,人们就可以品尝所有他们津津有味。西方的人 并没有很多技能用于烹饪,他们大多只煮、蒸、烤食品。
• 新娘吃的食物也是一种文化象征传统婚礼上，新 娘一般会吃红枣、花生、桂圆和瓜子。其中的象 征意义可以从这四种食物的读音中看出。当这四 种食物放在一起读时就是“早生贵子”。 。
Western wedding
• Western wedding customs is a romantic style， Married to western costume; The bride dressed in white, football, wearing a white garlands, but also cast a long white, carrying white flowers.
在中国，人们看重食物的味道与分享。中餐以美味征服世界。中国有句古话： 欲征服人心，先征服人胃。进餐时，大家一起围坐在餐桌旁，所有人共同分享 一个盘子中的食物，主人还会热情的为你夹菜。一顿饭后，人们之间的情谊会 加深。
What’s more ,Chinese and westerners are different ways and manners in the diet. As well as I’m concerned, there is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people, I think. Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Chinese just use chopstick to pick things and pass it into their mouse . But western people who use fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and use fork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Apart of this, Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemade cake, tea and cheese.
在西方，人们看重就餐的环境。一家好的餐馆最好建在风景如画的山顶、公园 或者城市中心的高楼上。所以西餐吃的不是味道，是环境。
The atmosphere of Chinese food is particular about taste and participation. Chinese food conquers the world with taste. There is a folk adage in China “If I want to conquer your heart, I will conquer your stomach first”. Everybody sits around table while eating Chinese food, everybody is eating the dish in the same plate, the hospitable host will also nip the dish into your bowl, it is so friendly. The friendship between person and person is deeper after a meal.
