Culture is manifested in human artifacts and activities such as music, literature, lifestyle, food, painting and sculpture, theatre and film.
We should start talking about food culture， it reflects the different national habits and different way of thinking. China attached great importance to form, pay attention to "color, smell and taste", the Chinese cooking, the ever-changing style of food, specific to each of the dishes are very particular about color with the scent. The Europeans not attention in the color of the dishes, they pay attention to the intrinsic quality of the food. And seeing the differences about knife, fork and chopsticks, it not only brought about differences in eating habits, but also affect concept of the easterner and the western. The necessary outcome of knife and fork are buffet, and chopsticks are family members around a common table to dines. So the western let their young fend for themselves from an early age, their children were from home in adult life. But easterner depend on their parents for food and clothing.

In the arts of painting and sculpture, Chinese painting is a splash-ink freehand brushwork, the western oil painting about the human body and the ratio of optical principles. For example, the Chinese people show god can fly, then at the foot of fairy draw many clouds, to reflect fly. The westerners do not understand the abstract artistic expression of this approach, in the classic western themes of religious paintings, in order to explain the angels fly, they give those lovely angels draw a pair of wings. Because they only think of wings can fly.
The westerns very take a fancy to the independence of the individual. Taken care of people is often seen as weak. At give other to the ideas or suggestions, you can’t look down on his ability, and do not have to teach people how to do. Chinese people often give other to ideas and suggestions that concern. Dropping in Chinese friends and staffs is very easily. Asking people to visit each other, you would needn’t to be sure times to visit them without their consent seriously. Americans do not have this habit. You would in advance precisely to make an appointment when there is something going. The other side has not been promised, you drop in their house is impolite behavior.
People from many different cultures background, so cann't get together easier, must have diver of views. We must to knew and to respect each other`s cultures and custom earlier . According to understand the different culture can make a good relation to each other, and great advances have been made.
