What are the reasons for the cultural differences between China and the United States?

Personal views on cultural differences between China and the United States;

1. Although China has experienced many historical changes and the history of slavery oppression in modern times, due to the accumulation of 5,000 years of history and culture, it still maintains the unique folk customs and traditions of the Chinese nation in many aspects, such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals with historical significance and national spirit connotation. In addition, due to the profound influence of history and culture, China people will accept new ideas and judge them with traditional moral eyes. For example, although people in China are not so traditional now, the divorce rate in China is lower than that in the United States, which shows that people in China and the United States have different views on marriage, while people in China talk about taking care of each other all their lives. Americans, on the other hand, pay more attention to the feelings between husband and wife. There are still many people in China who are still nothing, but have the idea of studying high. Although learning culture is the most fashionable thing at present, it is not advisable to be too obsessed with the saying that there is a golden house in the book. In short, China experienced several migrations from the Tang and Song Dynasties or earlier. In the Millennium, foreign culture will be integrated with China culture. In today's information globalization, it is only a matter of time before China merges with other cultures, although there will be a running-in process between them. As modern people, we have to wait and see.

Whether economically or militarily, the United States is the hegemon in the world today. Although the United States is very strong, it does not have a long history in social culture. Today it is less than 50 years since the founding of the United States. Compared with some ancient countries, the United States does not have a profound social and cultural background and a complex local culture with American characteristics. Although the United States is a country established by immigrants from many nationalities and countries, when people are brought into modern American economy and society, they are thoroughly purified and become Americans. Although it will take some time, usually an immigrant who has developed in the United States for two or three generations can only speak English without using his grandfather's mother tongue, and language differences are the key to changing people's way of thinking and cultural foundation. Moreover, it is hard to say which country or nationality he has. Because the United States is a multi-ethnic and multi-racial emerging country, for example, an immigrant from China is likely to marry a Frenchman or a person of other countries or mixed blood in the United States, and his descendants may have descendants with an alien or other people, who do not belong to any ethnic group or race genetically. Therefore, there are only pure Americans in the United States. In addition, in many cultural fields, such as philosophy, art, literature and other scientific cultures that play a guiding role in people's words and deeds, the United States also draws on the strengths of other countries, because it has a strong economic backing, and as long as it feels useful, it can be bought with money. This concept of development will inevitably affect the basic social and cultural development. That is, American popular culture. What Americans often do in a rapidly developing society is "consumption". In developed countries like the United States, there will be no shortage of various consumption places, such as various super department stores and casinos. Even their interpersonal communication is based on "consumption" (of course, this is only a general statement), and this "consumption" culture is sweeping the world. It is this culture that allows Americans to accept new things more quickly, instead of referring to traditional morality like China, such as homosexuality (or homosexual sex). Although not all Americans can accept it and will not criticize American morality or traditional knowledge or ethics too much, more people will think that this is just a normal psychological phenomenon. The reason for this example is that between the United States and China, and between the East and the West, there is often a most controversial point in the understanding of "sex". Perhaps it is such a formal indifferent national "consumption" consciousness that makes the United States invincible without cultural "worry". Maybe he is still young and has a long way to go.

3. The above is my personal opinion. Without reference, there will be some unsatisfactory places. I hope it helps you.
