In a highly globalized world, the number of transnational communications has increased. The spread of British and American film cultures has reached deeper into the etiquette culture of western countries. Etiquette can not ignore the role of a nation and a nation in international communication. With the continuous influx of Western culture, Chinese traditional etiquette has also been constantly impacted by Western etiquette culture. Therefore, understanding the differences between Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures and integrating them with western rituals and exploring the establishment of a social etiquette culture system suitable for China’s contemporary era can eliminate misunderstandings arising from cultural barriers in cross-cultural communication so as to achieve exchanges between China and the West. Smooth progress. This article analyzes the contemporary values ​​of Chinese traditional etiquette and analyzes the British nobles and traditional cultural etiquette in the early 20th century. Britain is essentially a typical aristocratic society. Under the rule of the hierarchy, the nobility was the product of the feudal economic system at that time. . The etiquette and customs that have been adopted by the nobles of the world in Europe in order to maintain a peaceful and friendly relationship are the source of the elegant etiquette that we admire today. The analysis of the influencing factors of Chinese and Western etiquette differences focuses on the differences between Chinese and Western etiquettes in terms of social etiquette, dining etiquette, wedding etiquette, business etiquette, etc., and then explores the reasonable and effective fusion of Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures, and finally achieves the ideal realm of a harmonious society.

The goal and purpose of research

The reputation of the Chinese nation as a state of etiquette and etiquette plays an active role in the historical evolution of Chinese culture. Today, the global integration of the economy and the networking of information sharing have brought modern people to an infinitely stretched and continuously enriched space. This is the global village. In this village of 6 billion inhabitants, communication and communication are becoming more and more frequent. Persuasion and understanding are more and more important. Among them, the etiquette of the “first impression” of public relations is even more indispensable.

Today's China is facing an unprecedented challenge. Whether it is material, spiritual, or cultural, it urgently needs a set of complete and reasonable values ​​for unity. The etiquette culture is undoubtedly this kind of unified "predecessor". Therefore, how to carry forward traditional etiquette and rationally and effectively merge with Western etiquette should become the topic of people's thinking and discussion. Because different cultures have different etiquette, this requires us to understand that learning different cultures seek common ground while reserving differences while respecting their own etiquette culture to avoid misunderstandings and obstacles caused by lack of understanding. Strengthen communication and understanding and promote mutual understanding and recognition among different cultures. With the development of society, etiquette education has

Research status at home and abroad

With the continuous development of Chinese and Western cultures, Chinese and Western ceremonies are being merged with each other. Westerners have gradually accepted the rational factors of affection in oriental culture. Chinese people have also accepted the etiquette and communication methods of advanced civilization in Western culture. More and more people realize that Chinese and Western ceremonial culture will inevitably penetrate each other and continue to develop. Before Chinese and Western liturgies were properly integrated, more and more Chinese and foreign scholars participated in the study of Chinese and Western ceremonial culture in order to better communicate and communicate in the world.

From the reference point of view, Chinese scholars have more specific research on Chinese and Western rituals. However, more emphasis is placed on the differences between Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures. For example, (1) Jin Pinzhuo's "Chinese and Western Cultural Differences in Etiquette" introduces differences in Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures from the aspects of communication style, food etiquette, dress etiquette, personal outlook on life, social customs, and hierarchical concepts. (2) Deng Hui's "On the Influence of Chinese and Western Cultures on Etiquette" discusses specifically the influence of cultural differences between East and West on etiquette in terms of social communication methods, personal outlook on life, legal concepts, social customs, and hierarchical concepts. (3) Ren Xueping's Differences in etiquette under different cultural environments between China and the West discusses the differences between Chinese and Western rituals in terms of greetings, salutations, handshakes etiquette, acknowledgments, color language, and introduction of etiquette. (4) Lin Yi's "Chinese and Western Etiquette Differences in English Learning" explored cultural differences and their role in promoting language learning from the perspective of differences between Chinese and Western rituals. (5) Wu Anning's Analysis of Differences between Chinese and Western Etiquettes analyzes the different forms of etiquette expressed by the Chinese and Western cultures in terms of appellation and address, meeting, banqueting, and women's priorities. The cultural roots of differences between Chinese and Western rituals are analyzed. Differences in thinking and values ​​between different ethnic groups. (6) There are also many scholars who choose one aspect of etiquette to study the difference between Chinese and Western rituals. For example, Song Jihong’s “Contrastive Study of Chinese and English Social Etiquettes from the Perspective of Cross-Cultural Perspectives” has conducted a comparative study of social etiquette from five perspectives: appellation, greeting, introduction, visit, and gift giving. The main reasons affecting the difference between Chinese and English communication etiquette are: equality and hierarchy concept, concept of time, high context and low context culture, and face problems. Zhang Yan's Differences between Chinese and Western Social Etiquettes uses English and Americans as representatives of Western culture to compare the differences between Chinese and Western cultures in social etiquette, and discusses the causes of differences from the cultural background and values. Zhang Caixia's Diet Etiquette Differences in Chinese and Western Diet Cultures compare Chinese and Western dietary etiquettes in terms of different cutlery, time orientation and seating arrangement. Lin Yeyun, in the Foreign Business Etiquette Training and Development Prospect, compared Chinese and Western business etiquettes and pointed out the integration of etiquette in business interactions. (7) Li Xiaojun's “Differentiation and Fusion of Chinese and Western Etiquette Cultures” is less in many literatures. Mention the article of fusion. After discussing the difference between Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures in terms of language, catering, and apparel, and then exploring the reasonable and effective integration of Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures, the ideal of a harmonious society can be achieved. In this article, the author only mentioned fusion a little, but did not do a specific analysis and introduction of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

As far as the current research status is concerned, foreign scholars have relatively few literatures on Chinese and Western etiquette research, and more emphasis is placed on discussing etiquette from a cultural perspective. For example, Robert Cummings Neville’s Olympic Games and the Power of Ritual., on the basis of different cultural backgrounds of China and the West, traced the etiquette and the origin of the Olympic Games, discussed the power of etiquette and the etiquette of the Olympic Games. symbol of. Another Western scholar Mattarmstrong's Differences between Eastern and Western Culture describes the Chinese and Western cultures and the etiquette that should be noted in the small details of daily life such as parties, three meals, traveling and so on. The nuanced descriptions have made many suggestions for Chinese and Western communication.

At the same time, in all studies, whether domestic scholars or foreign scholars, only a little mention of the integration of Chinese and Western ceremonies, so there are not many references in this area. And because of the different vision for each study, the same research object also has different insertion points and research priorities. Therefore, research needs to be more in-depth and detailed. With the formation of the global village, international exchanges have become more frequent. It is believed that more and more people will pay more attention to the fusion of Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures, so as to promote international communication and exchange, and ultimately promote the harmonious development of the world.

Difficulties in research and innovation

Etiquette culture is a relatively general concept, which involves a very wide range and penetrates almost every aspect of social life, playing a significant role in achieving harmony between people, people, and society. Therefore, in the analysis of the differences and integration of Chinese and Western ritual cultures, it is impossible to be comprehensive. Only a few representative research objects can be selected to summarize the research results in a more general way and add some of their own opinions. At the same time, judging from the current research situation, there is very little research on the integration of Chinese and Western ritual cultures. Based on the analysis of the differences between Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures, this article seeks the integration point between Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures and faces the opportunities and challenges of the integration of Chinese and Western ceremonial cultures. Avoid misunderstandings that blindly accept Western etiquette and abandon Chinese traditions. Remind us that in today's vigorous advocacy of building a harmonious society, it is still necessary to conduct a comprehensive review of traditional etiquette, to clean up, to find out what to abandon and inherit, and combined with the horizontal reference and fusion of Western etiquette to meet the requirements of the new generation.

In addition, from the perspective of research, we contrast the study of Western etiquette, international conventions to be followed in international exchanges, and there are some differences between China's traditional etiquette. China is a state of etiquette, with 5,000 years of traditional civilization and 5,000 years of ceremonial culture. Living in such a state of etiquette, we are edified and cultured by etiquette culture and we have Chinese traditional etiquette. Therefore, in the study of western etiquette culture, it presents a realistic research problem. The regional differences make it impossible for us to better understand the essence of western etiquette culture and cannot obtain first-hand information. At the same time, the defects of Chinese traditional etiquette reflected in the contemporary era, under the background of cultural diversity, we should face reality, overcome communication barriers, and achieve smooth and effective cross-cultural communication. In order to achieve better communication and communication in the world, more research is needed.
