The cultural differences between China and France As a traditional country,Chinese culture is very different from western culture,especially France.Chinese is slightly conservative.French people that is known as romanticism is more open and free. Let me talk about the manners,costume and wine culture. France is the world cultural center for centuries and also a country that people pay more attention to good manners.French often come and go with greetings to someone they don not know in public,like in a market or a variety store.However,it's strange for Chinese to have a greeting to a stranger without introduction.Chinese people also have good manners in public.Teenagers will offer their seat to old men,kids,pregnant woman and someone disabled on the bus.But most of the French teenagers do nothing in this situation. Frenchmen stress extremely affective expression.For example,if you are invited for a dinner by your relatives and friends,you always need write a letter of thanks for their hospitalit and kindness.Chinese won’t do that,if we have this custom,it is more between best friends in particular. In France people pay more attention to grace and noble.If you take a walk in France,you will see all the ladies dressed up really pretty.Their costume has the main colors in black and white.Now dressing in black and white is still classic look.People all over the world especially the fashionistas follow French fashion style,because Paris as the host city for one of the ‘big four’ fashion weeks is in France.And the Chinese costume plays an important role in showing Chinese culture,such as Qipao and Tang suit.Chinese are fond of red because of the meaning of auspiciousness.On the contrary,they dislike black and white. In France we have to talk the red wine.It’s so loved by people,not only is it with perfume,like a symbol of French romance.It said that different red wine should match with different food.Sometimes people drink rice wine,white wine or beer.It’s nothing special. No matter what culture China and France are,I think both of them are precious treasure of the human spirit civilization.
