| 总结: | With China being one of the largest sources of inbound tourists to
Australia, the need to better understand Chinese culture has never been
more highly emphasised by various organisations represented in
Australian media, yet some cultural misreading with thinly-veiled value
judgements are regularly discerned. Accordingly, a better cultural
awareness is imperative for Australians to approach and understand
Chinese people. This paper gives a brief review of the definitions of
culture, its emergence and role in international relations. It then proceeds
to the definition of Chinese culture and in particular, the turbulent history
of modern Chinese culture. After a few preconceptions and misconceptions
of Chinese culture in Australia are presented for discussion, finally some
suggestions are made to help develop a historical and holistic view of
Chinese culture. |
