13、for drinking.Wedding Worship(祭祀祭祀)Ceremony Business In the eyes of the Chinese people，wine is a tool for communication Western Drinking Purposes:Drinking in order to appreciate wine.The influencing factors:1.the influence of religious belief 2.the influence of value 佛教佛教(Buddhism)(Buddhism)在中国的影响较为广
14、泛在中国的影响较为广泛,佛教的五条戒律佛教的五条戒律中就有中就有 不饮酒不饮酒 这一条这一条,很多中国人信奉佛教的教戒，尽可很多中国人信奉佛教的教戒，尽可地地不饮酒或控制饮酒；再加上中国的不饮酒或控制饮酒；再加上中国的酒大多是用粮食酿造酒大多是用粮食酿造的的,所以人们对于饮酒持的是一种比较谨慎的态度：认为喝所以人们对于饮酒持的是一种比较谨慎的态度：认为喝酒只要达到一种微醺之境即可。酒只要达到一种微醺之境即可。1.the influence of religious belief 西西方方人人的的主主流流宗宗教教是是基基督督教教(Christianism)(Christianism)，葡葡萄萄酒
15、酒在在(圣圣经经)里里多多次次被被提提到到。耶耶稣稣在在知知道道了了自自己己的的命命运运后后在在最最后后的的晚晚餐餐上上说说：“面面包是我的肉，葡萄酒是我的血包是我的肉，葡萄酒是我的血”。其目的在于要人们记住他是为人类。其目的在于要人们记住他是为人类罪罪而而死死的的。因因此此，基基督督教教徒徒视视葡葡萄萄酒酒为为圣圣血血-耶耶稣稣的的血血液液，他他们们在在做做弥弥撒撒的的时时侯侯喝喝圣圣血血“吃吃圣圣体体”，视视酒酒为为耶耶稣稣救救世世精精神神的的化化身身，认认为为人喝了酒就能与上帝的心灵相通，从而得到仁慈上帝的佑护。人喝了酒就能与上帝的心灵相通，从而得到仁慈上帝的佑护。中中国国的的酒酒文文化
16、化典典型型地地体体现现了了集集体体主主义义（collectivisimcollectivisim）的的价价值值观观念念。中中国国人人之之间间的的关关系系倾倾向向于于依依靠靠合合作作，也也就就是是一一种种集集体体主主义义的的紧紧密密社社会会结结构构。中中国国人人喝喝酒酒讲讲究究气气氛氛，三三五五成成群群，呼呼朋朋引引伴伴。在在喝喝酒酒时时，中中国国人人常常常常敬敬酒酒、劝劝酒酒，遇遇上上喜喜庆庆节节日日的的时时侯侯还还会会有有一一些些活活动动，比比如如划划拳拳“行行酒酒令令”做做游游戏戏等等来来活活跃跃饮饮酒酒气气氛氛。劝劝酒酒不不仅仅表表现现了了中中国国人人的的热热情好客，更与他们的集体主义思
17、维有很大的关系。情好客，更与他们的集体主义思维有很大的关系。2.the influence of value 西西 方方 的的 酒酒 文文 化化 则则 是是 个个 人人 主主 义义(individualism)(individualism)的的体体现现，一一切切都都以以自自己己为为出出发发点点。尽尽管管他他们们也也会会有有群群聚聚而而饮饮，但但他他们们更更注注重重的的是是个个人人对对酒酒的的浅浅尝尝独独酌酌。西西方方人人强强调调个个人人民民主主自自由由，从从不不干干涉涉强强迫迫别别人人，所所以以他他们们在在喝喝酒酒的的时时候候全全凭凭个个人人自自由由自自主主，不不想想喝喝就就不不喝喝，想想喝喝
18、多多少少就就喝多少，无需客套。喝多少，无需客套。Conclusion Chinese and Western wine culture have respective characteristics.Only by following the differences of Chinese and Western wine culture,we can further undstand the differences between Chinese and Western value.In the communication with the western people,wine is used to its fullest potential to get the desired results.Thank You
