1.1Researches done by foreign scholars

Although cross-cultural communication is a quite new discipline with a history of about 50 years, several influential works and articles written by both foreign and Chinese scholars have been published, ranging from abstract theories to concrete practices which include almost every aspect in cross-cultural communication.

In Intercultural Communication: A Discourse Approach (Scollon, R.&Scollon,S.W, 2000), the two authors discuss the communication between the Westerners and the Asians (particularly the Chinese people) within the framework of discourse. Although the whole work seems more linguistic than cultural, the discussion on interpersonal politeness and power in Chapter Three offers a good explanation to the different face system between the West and the research.which will be mentioned in the

1.2 Researches done by Chinese scholars

In the 1990s', a number of books in the field of cross-cultural communication are published, such as Intercultural Communication: Knowledge on Improving the foreign Communication Competence（《跨文化交流学:提高涉外交流能力的学问》，关世杰）Intercultural Communication（《跨文化交际学》，贾玉新）, Intercultural communication: Covert Culture in Foreign Language and Literature （《跨文化交际—外国语言文学中的隐蔽文化》，顾嘉祖）, etc. Although these books are more cultural-general than cultural-specific, and what they are mainly concerned is not closely related to food culture, they give us some enlightenment in perceiving and understanding cultural diversity.

The comparison of cultural Customs between China and English-Speaking Countries, In Professor Du's book, Chapter Twelve is devoted to the social functions, the various customs of banquets and the forms in both China and other western countries.

Nonverbal Communication in Intercultural Communication《跨文化非语言交际》，毕继万)and so on. And Professor Bi, in his book, he discussed some related aspects of culture in nonverbal communication.

Some Chinese scholars also give expression to their points of view on this issue. Professor Wang Zongyan, his point of view on cultural evaluation is so close to cultural relativism that he impulses us to ``pick up what is good in another culture''. 

From the above-mentioned, we can find that there have been many books written or researches done on cross-cultural communication; however, the related researches on culture are comparatively few in number. Even if some researches are made. they are sporadic somewhere and haven't formed a system of its own, not to mention the comparative study on food cultures between countries. Therefore, the research that is being done, to some extent, aims to add further researches in the development of cross-cultural communication, and to different cultures in particular.  

 This paper mainly introduces the differences between Chinese and western cultures. This paper mainly discourses from the cultural relativism. In the world, there are many kinds of cultures. We should not make a conclusion through any rules and principles in the cultures. Because of the corresponding of the culture, one value is mastered by its own culture. So there aren't any value can transcend cultural.

 When we understand the differences between Chinese and western cultures, at the same time, we accept the acceptable part of western cultures and combine with the Chinese cultures, so it can enrich our daily life, but there is no lack of their own features. This is our right attitude to Chinese and western culture.
