A Study on the Differences Between Chinese and Western Food Culture and the Translation of Chinese Cuisine

Abstract

Diet is one of the important factors for human survival and development, but different regions, climatic conditions and customs have formed their own distinctive diet cultures. In the process of globalization, the cultural exchanges between China and the West are becoming more and more frequent, which provides a good opportunity to understand the cultures of other countries, and one of the most concerned cultures is food culture. Therefore, this paper analyzes the dietary differences between China and the West, and then summarizes and analyzes the translation strategies of Chinese recipes, hoping to bring positive effects to the communication and integration of Chinese and Western diets.
