5、圣節(jié)不是起源于美國本土,且鬼節(jié)只有一種;中國鬼節(jié)的活動主要是祭祀祖先,掃墓及中元節(jié)祭祀孤魂野鬼,氣氛較嚴肅且從古至今未改變過,美國鬼節(jié)的活動從以祭祀為主發(fā)展為以狂歡為主。這表明了中國人沉穩(wěn)、嚴肅謹慎的性格及美國人多變幽默的性格;中國鬼節(jié)期間的掃墓及對鬼敬而遠之的態(tài)度體現(xiàn)了中國人的等級觀念和集體主義,美國人對鬼節(jié)輕松的態(tài)度表現(xiàn)了他們的平等觀念及個人主義。由此本文從中美兩國鬼節(jié)的不同文化闡述了中西方文化的不同。關(guān)鍵詞:鬼節(jié);價值觀;觀念;文化差異Introduction:SpiritFestivalmeansthedaywhichthemaint
