There is no doubt that they had formed related cultures respectively. Comparing the two cultures, one could find out that there are many differences between them. Th

5、ose are presented in the following directions: differences in the classifications, difierences in the spreading ways, differences in the protocols and so on. All these differences leave an impression that coffee cultxire seems simpler and freer than tea culture. For example, the protocols of tea are

6、 strict, rules cannot be changed. While in making coflfee one can do whatever he likes. These differences can be traced back to the forming of these two cultures. Both tea culture and coffee culture are a reflection of their related society Different people have different thinking modes. The orient

7、people seem more fantastic, they believe in things that do not exist, such as gods. They would adjust to the nature and keep things the original way The westerners, on the contrary, prefer realism. They would change the environment instead of adjusting to it. The study of these two cultures will con

8、tribute to the understanding of the differences between orient culture and western culture. Also it will help the interchange of these two cultures.Key words: tea culture； coffee culture； difierences； thinking modes茶与咖啡都拥有着悠久的历史，因此它们都衍生出了相应的文化。对比这两 种文化很容易发现两者的不同。这些不同之处体现在分类、传播方式、相关礼仪 及其它方面上。这些差异无不昭示

9、着相较于茶文化，咖啡文化显得更加的自由随 性。一如两者在礼仪上的差异：茶礼仪已经固定下来并有着一套严格的步骤；而 咖啡礼仪则相对简单的多。深究下去就能发现除客观原因外，这些差异都与东西 方传统文化及人们的思维模式有关。东方人比较感性，讲求融入自然；而西方人 则更加理性，较之于适应环境他们更愿意改变环境。只有了解了这两种文化，才 能更好的理解东西方文化的差异，促进东西方的文化交流。关键词茶文化；咖啡文化；差异；思维模式I.INTRODUCTIONThere have always been differences between tea culture and coffee culture. P

10、eople seldom think about the reasons. In fact, tea culture and coflfee culture are different because they have differences in social atmosphere, history and literary background. People have done lots of researches on it. The researches can be mainly divided into three directions: research on tea cul

11、ture, research on coflfee culture, and research on the similarities and differences between them.As about the discussion of tea culture, the researchers mainly talk about the history the protocol, and the influence of tea have on thinking modes, and they only discuss tea culture independently. In th

12、e discussion of coflfee culture, they mainly talk about the origin of coffee, the broadcasting of coffee, and the differences of coffee culture between different countries. Yet they still talk about coffee culture separately. General Analysis on the Comparison of Chinese Tea Culture and French Coffe

13、e Culture by Wang Yiilan goes deeper about these two cultures. (Wang Yiilan : 2008) It is good that she discusses them comparatively, but the shortcoming is that: it only talks about coffee culture in France, and it mainly talks about tea and coffee themselves instead of the culture.Considering the

14、present study condition and the shortcomings they have, this thesis will make an analysis on tea culture and coffee culture comparatively in the following sections. In part two, the thesis will introduce tea culture and coffee culture in details, includes their definitions, origins and classificatio

15、ns. And then in part three, the thesis will make a through analysis on the differences between them. These differences include the different broadcasting method of tea and coffee, different protocols and the related works. Also in this part, the thesis will introduce the present conditions of tea an

Finally, the thesis will make a conclusion that these differences are the result of the different thinking modes between the orients and the westerners. The Chinese people believe in nature, while the westerners prefer realism. The Chinese prefer the unity of heaven and humanity while the westerner make the
