Hello, I'm glad to answer your question, but my English is not very good, so I can only speak Chinese! The reasons for the differences in international etiquette between China and foreign countries (1) Regional cultural differences have a direct or indirect impact on the formation of culture and on people's behavior, thus potentially restricting the way of thinking and social culture. We can classify Chinese and foreign cultures as regional cultural differences. China, which is relatively isolated, is geographically isolated from the world, which makes Chinese civilization maintain strong stability and historical continuity. Ancient Greece was located in the middle of the whole Mediterranean region, which gave the Greeks the natural advantage of convenient sea transportation. The fierce competition brought by the ocean has formed its open cultural character and cultivated its flexible, open and enterprising national spirit. (2) Differences in Customs and Habits Due to different social backgrounds, there are certain differences in customs and habits. As a totem and sacred symbol of the Chinese nation, the dragon can be traced back to the Neolithic Age more than 5,000 years ago. But not in western culture, which is enough to reflect the differences between Chinese and western cultures. Dragon has become the totem of the Chinese nation, first of all, because it contains the factors of nature worship, that is, people respect it as the god who dominates rain and snow. In fact, the dragon, as the totem of the Chinese nation, is only a conceptual thing, and it is an attachment and alienation to one or several things that exist in reality. Dragons are also common in western culture. But very different from China culture, the dragon is often described as a giant monster in western culture. It looks like a crocodile, wears scales, has huge claws and wings, can swim, fly and breathe fire, and is a symbol of evil forces with fierce destructive power. (3) Cultural differences As we all know, the formation and development of China culture is in the period of the formation and development of feudal society, so China culture is bound to be influenced by feudal ideas. In feudal society, in order to safeguard their own interests and better rule the people, rulers often instilled some ideas into the people through various channels. Throughout the history of western culture, today's capitalist culture began to form during the Renaissance in16th century. In this cultural movement, people preach "humanitarianism", affirm human value, respect human rights and attach importance to human strength. In this context, culture must have the characteristics of "humanism". (4) differences in religious beliefs. In China, both foreign Buddhism and local Taoism pay attention to resignation and afterlife. Western teachings also emphasize the afterlife and stress suffering. Both Christianity and Islam pay attention to resisting foreign oppression and pagans. The formation of this religious difference is closely related to the social background when it was formed. The reasons for the differences in international etiquette are far more than the above aspects, but they are mainly caused by the background of historical development. Therefore, to understand the etiquette of a country, we must first understand the development background of this country, so as to carry out effective international exchanges. I hope it helps you!
