5、圣節(jié)不是起源于美國(guó)本土,且鬼節(jié)只有一種;中國(guó)鬼節(jié)的活動(dòng)主要是祭祀祖先,掃墓及中元節(jié)祭祀孤魂野鬼,氣氛較嚴(yán)肅且從古至今未改變過,美國(guó)鬼節(jié)的活動(dòng)從以祭祀為主發(fā)展為以狂歡為主。這表明了中國(guó)人沉穩(wěn)、嚴(yán)肅謹(jǐn)慎的性格及美國(guó)人多變幽默的性格;中國(guó)鬼節(jié)期間的掃墓及對(duì)鬼敬而遠(yuǎn)之的態(tài)度體現(xiàn)了中國(guó)人的等級(jí)觀念和集體主義,美國(guó)人對(duì)鬼節(jié)輕松的態(tài)度表現(xiàn)了他們的平等觀念及個(gè)人主義。由此本文從中美兩國(guó)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(jià)值觀;觀念;文化差異Introduction:SpiritFestivalmeansthedaywhichthemaint
