China has a long history, which has created a colourful and profound(深远的) Chinese culture. However, Western culture is very different from Chinese culture. Language is a big part of it.
Language not only includes the history and culture of the nation, but also includes the nation's views on life, lifestyles and ways of thinking. Chinese language is a combination(结合) of sounds, shapes and meanings. But the expression and understanding of Western languages don't have such broad and profound meaning. It is simple, common, and direct.
Chinese people often ask each other about their ages, jobs, or whether they are married. Always they will ask “Have you eaten?” “Where are you going?” and so on to show their attention. This is a common greeting for them. But Westerners are confused when they come across the situation like this. They may think, “What does it matter to you whether I eat or not as well as where I go?” In English, greetings are usually given by the time or the weather. For example, they use “Good morning/afternoon/evening” or “Hello/Hi” to greet each other simply.
