浅析西方“吸血鬼”文化与东方“鬼”文化之对比

摘要

随着全球化的不断发展，跨文化交际也越来越重要，并且深入到我们生活的各个方面，“鬼”文化作为世界性的文化现象，中国和西方都有着悠久生动的鬼文化。

人们对于“鬼”文化的精神追求也不断深入与发展，这是一种精神文化的象征。

同时，了解东西方“鬼”文化的异同也能够促进跨文化交际中精神文化的交流。

中国的“鬼”是人死后的灵魂；

而西方鬼文化的代表是“吸血鬼”。

“鬼”的观念的产生不仅是因为古人对大自然的崇拜和畏惧，还是古人对黑暗的畏惧，对理想精神生活的渴望。

“吸血鬼”文化是西方文化中的重要组成部分，“吸血鬼”又称血族，是西方世界中一种有名的可怕生物。

由于他们具有永生的特点，因此他们的行踪十分隐蔽。

本课题将主要通过对比的手法来比较两者的异同，最后在总结全文的基础上，再次强调鬼与吸血鬼文化的重要性，并探讨东西文化根源与现实功能，以及中西承载的深厚文化内涵。
