中国问候语“你吃了吗？”的文化折射

中国是个食文化大国,饮食是中国文化中美感和礼制最古老的源头。从历史溯源,人们不难理解为什么"你吃了吗"这句问候语会如此盛行;但目前外来文化的冲击使得这一富有民族特色的文化现象呈日渐衰微之势;从长远和大处着眼,各民族文化应该是保持多元互补、共同发展的态势,而不能趋一求同。

The cultural refraction in the Chinese greeting "Have you eaten?"

China is a country with a rich dining culture, and eating is the most original source of aesthetic perception and social etiquette in the Chinese culture. Looking back in history, we can understand why the greeting "Have you eaten?" was so prevailing. But at present because of the impact of foreign cultures, this greeting typical of Chinese culture has shown a tendency towards declination. From a long-range and macroscopic point of view, the cultures of different nations should develop in a mutual-complementary and co-existing state, while singleness in culture should be avoided.
