摘要
文章通过对中国和美国"鬼节"的起源、历史发展和风俗的分析,从霍夫斯泰德的文化维度理论和克拉克洪与斯多特贝克的价值取向理论入手,探求在中美"鬼节"中反映出的两国之间的文化价值观差异。"鬼节"对于中美两国来说都是非常重要的节日,节日最初时的祭祀仪式是相似的,但随着历史的发展,两国的过节方式产生了巨大的差异。如今,每逢"鬼节"中国依然是以祭祀祖先为主,而美国等西方国家却已把万圣节看作是欢快娱乐、尽情玩闹的节日。
This paper makes a thorough analysis of ＂ghost festivals＂ in China and America from their origins, development histories and customs. Meanwhile, the differences between Chinese and American cultural values reflected in ＂ghost festivals＂ are explored based on Hofstede＇ s Cultural Dimensions Theory and Kluckhohn ＆ Strodtbeck＇ s Values Orientation Theory, which is beneficial to overcoming potential communication barriers caused by the different cultural values and promoting mutual understanding and communication be- tween Chinese and Americans.
