Cultural differences between the United States and China.

The cultural differences between China and the United States are as follows:

First of all, the antiquity of China culture and the modernization of American culture.

China culture has a history of thousands of years. The profound traditional culture is deeply rooted in China and cannot be transplanted. All modern civilizations in China can only be grafted on this big tree.

Any consideration of China is inseparable from the influence of the invisible hand of history on reality. China traditional culture is the theoretical basis for the formation of China people's way of thinking and behavior, and it has an irresistible influence on China's social relations.

America has a history of only over 200 years. American culture is a temple of modern civilization built by a group of modern people according to their own will and mode of thinking. Americans are creating a scientific, wealth and democratic social system in accordance with the needs of modern people. American interpersonal relationships are also established according to modern standards. The developed commercial culture and science and technology in the United States are the remarkable signs of its modern culture.

Second, the nationalism of China culture and the diversity of American culture.

The Han nationality in China accounts for more than 90% of the total population, and the other 56 ethnic minorities are basically similar to the Han nationality in color and race, so China can be said to be a country with a single race and a single culture. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism constitute the main body of China culture, especially Confucianism has a leading influence on China people's thoughts and behaviors. China culture has a strong national character.

The United States is an immigrant country with an extremely complex population. Talents from all over the world gather here, and various cultures complement each other, forming a melting pot of national cultures. Therefore, American culture has the characteristics of diversification and strong flavor of the times, which changes with the times.

Third, the politics of China culture and the economy of American culture.

Since ancient times, stability and unity have been two major events in the history of China. Politics is the commander-in-chief, and centralization and unity are the soul.

As a system in the superstructure of China ancient society, Confucian culture forms a complementary trend with the political power in the superstructure. Confucian culture contains a lot of humanistic thoughts about educating rulers to be benevolent and educating people to abide by ethical education. In ancient China society, agriculture was always more important than commerce, and the imperial examination system closely linked culture and politics, which was strongly political. Looking at social relations, the relationship between people also has a strong political color.

America is a country with a highly developed commodity economy and a strong cultural economy. Science and technology, economic management and other cultures adapted to economic construction occupy a high position. Developed commercial culture such as Hollywood movies, Disneyland and McDonald's fast food. It has attracted the attention of the whole world. The relationship between people in the United States also has a strong economic color, and the accounts of brothers are clear.
