I want to think about a paper on the hybridity of Japanese culture from the perspective of the differences between Chinese and Japanese food cultures. I hope you can provide some materials o (∩ _ ∩) O. Thank you. "Fan" is a word with China characteristics. There are always people who are busy with all kinds of "meals" but enjoy them. Even some foreign employees can't escape the customs when they come to China.

British Prime Minister Eden once hosted Premier Zhou Enlai with a three-course state banquet. This left an impression on China people: Western countries are not interested in eating and drinking. According to my observation, Westerners really don't have the concept of "rice". In their culture, eating is not an important thing, just to supplement calories. So many people in Europe and America just have a few oranges and a banana crossing the gastrointestinal tract at noon. It makes sense to think so. The most exquisite dish in America is boiled beans with ingredients. If you work hard, it only takes a little more time. In this food culture, you can imagine how charming "dinner" can be.

However, this concept cannot be applied to the Japanese.

A friend who has been to Japan lamented that there are many "dinners" in China and thought that Japan might not have this problem. Unexpectedly, he met a "dinner party" in Japan even less than in China. What's more, although there are many "dinners" in Japan, they often don't have enough to eat, and they have to feed themselves when they come back.

There are a lot of "dinner" dishes in Japan, often one or twenty dishes are served at a meal, and the plates are also large, but the amount of dishes on the plates is pitiful. One dish is just a spoonful on everyone's plate, and even twenty dishes are only twenty. It often takes three or four hours to eat a Japanese "dinner". These twenty dishes were served in three or four hours, and the food behind them was not eaten in the mouth, and the food in front was almost digested. The degree of hunger can be imagined. Many people lament the Japanese "dinner" after spending hours socializing, but they still can't eat enough.

In fact, most friends who think that Japanese people don't pay attention to "dinner" don't know much about the tradition of this country. If we understand the Japanese thinking about "dinner", this kind of "marathon dinner" should be understood even more.

As an oriental country, Japan, like China, has always regarded "dinner" as an important means to communicate feelings and solve problems. Even the most ordinary company employees in Japan have a "dinner party" once or twice a week. Usually on weekends, colleagues in the office go out together, and it is customary to have a meal in a restaurant. In addition, there are various names for "dinner party", such as "Forgetting the Year", "Farewell Party" and "Newcomer Party". These "dinners" cannot be easily refused. In China, not participating in the "dinner" is at best not giving friends face; In Japan, if you don't attend the dinner party, you are in danger of losing your job. Because the "dinner party" in Japan is an "official" activity, its function is to enhance communication between superiors and subordinates, cultivate the feelings between colleagues, and also strengthen the ties between cooperative units. After all, it's part of the job.

Japanese companies or institutions have a strong sense of hierarchy. Usually, the boundaries between superiors and subordinates are strict, and there is little emotional communication. Only on the wine table will the two sides put down their bodies and sit together like brothers. At this time, Japanese bosses will also tell jokes, and employees can laugh and speak loudly without fear. Of course, no one will be so rude as to forget his identity. Japanese business sometimes likes to be conducted on the wine table. After a few drinks, the heads of several cooperative units may decide the future cooperation intention.

Although "dinner party" is not mandatory, employees who always don't participate in "dinner party" will be regarded as unsociable, difficult to cooperate and difficult to control, and will be regarded as unwilling to devote their time to "dinner party" and make efforts for the company's business. This of course means that he has no deep feelings for the company and no spirit of cooperation. Many Japanese employees lost their jobs as a result.

Since Japan's "dinner" carries such social functions, "eating" itself is no longer the focus of the dinner. Japanese-style "dinner" pays more attention to the characteristics and exquisiteness of each dish, regardless of whether the guests are full. In fact, the cost of "dinner" in Japan is quite high.

The "dinner" culture may come from the unique character of the Japanese. Compared with China, it is quite interesting. Like taking a shower. People in China don't shy away from the pleasure of taking a bath. Some people will enjoy themselves while taking a shower. The Japanese regard the purpose of bathing as the comfort of hot water, so they must wash it outside before jumping in. In their view, bathing and bathing are two different things and cannot be confused. Another example is the tea ceremony. China people are famous for appreciating the taste of tea, but they don't shy away from quenching their thirst while enjoying it. In the eyes of the Japanese, since it is tea, you can only drink it in a small cup and slowly feel the taste of tea. In their minds, drinking tea and quenching thirst are two different things and cannot be confused.

The same is true of the "dinner". Japanese and Japanese regard "dinner" as a social occasion. The difference is that China people are not opposed to talking about things while eating; The Japanese, on the other hand, appreciate "eating" in "dinner" as an art of eating, and satiety is not the purpose.

In my opinion, Japanese "dinner" really has something to learn from. This has at least two advantages: first, in Japanese "entertainment", people who want to drink will not pour the wine themselves, but try to pour the wine for others. Others will understand that he wants to drink and will fill it for him in turn. This not only avoids the unintentional loss after drinking, but also respects personal wishes. Second, Japan's "dinner" is in principle a phenomenon of paying for itself and rarely eating and drinking with public funds. Every week, employees pay for their own meals, and temporarily elected officials are responsible for collecting money. After eating, they will return more and make up less. Therefore, most Japanese employees will reserve a fixed percentage of their monthly salary as entertainment expenses. Perhaps because of this, although there are many "dinners" in Japan, they have not become a serious social problem.
