Conference Proceedings 2014 “Bald Eagle & Panda” U.S.-China Culture Exchange Virtual Conference March, 2015 Iowa State University of Science and Technology Ames, Iowa, USA Editors Liang (Rebecca) Tang, Ph.D. Linda Hagedorn, Ph.D. Arne Hallam, Ph.D. 1 Preface These proceedings contain the papers submitted to the first “Bald Eagle & Panda” U.S.-China Culture Exchange Virtual Conference held at Henan Normal University and Xi’an International University on May 25-26, 2014. It is our great pleasure to share With you that this year we received more than 40 proposals. Thirty-one proposals Were accepted as presentations at the virtual conference and 20 Were invited to submit full papers for consideration of the best paper competition. All the proposals Were managed by the conference planning committee. Coordinated by the committee, 22 revieWers contributed to the rigorous paper review process. All the revieWers held Master or Ph.D. degree in diverse disciplines Within the social sciences. Each paper Was blind-revieWed by at least two revieWers. Detailed comments Were offered to the authors to further refine their full proposals. These proceedings are the final quality Work contributed by the authors, the revieWers, and the conference planning committee. It is important to note that these papers Were Written by Chinese university students for Whom English is NOT their native language. Virtually none of the authors had visited an English speaking country nor had extensive language instruction other than that through the educational system. These papers retain some grammar “errors” that Would be expected for undergraduates struggling With a second language. We present them as their authentic Work. We Would like to thank all of the authors, revieWers, and the conference planning committee for making this project possible. Special thank to all 22 reviewers for their valuable time and comments to the authors. The paper revieW process could not be implemented Without the dedication and expertise from diverse fields of all the reviewers. Last but not least important, We Would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Qingyi Duanmu at Henan Normal University, Director Qiang Zeng at the Xi’an International University, and Dr. Ian NeWman at University of Nebraska Lincoln for their support during the entire process. Congratulations once again to all of the authors Whose papers Were accepted at the 1st “Bald Eagle & Panda” U.S.-China Culture Exchange Virtual Conference!

With the development of China, we have higher requirements on food. Today, I will share my point of view on Chinese and Western culture from three aspects. They are diet concepts, tableware and the table manners. The purpose of this topic is to make us know more about our traditional and American’s culture so that we can adopt an objective, tolerant and respectful attitude to different cultures. Keywords: Chinese, diet, culture, America, food 摘要: 食物在古代中国文化中扮演着重要的角色, 随着中国的发展,我们对食物 也有了更高的要求。今天呢，我将会从三个方面发表我有关中美文化的观点。分 别是饮食观念，餐具和餐桌礼仪。这个主题的目的呢是让我们知道更多中美文化， 从而让我们采取一个客观的，平和的，尊重的态度对待不同的文化。 关键词 : 中国， 饮食， 文化， 美国， 食物 I. Differences in diet concepts Chinese diet aims at the pursuit of delicious cooking, by contrast, westerners put nutrition to the highest guideline. They hold the rational diet idea that the nutrition comes first. They care about the intake of calories, vitamins protein and so on a day. It is consistent with western philosophy of which metaphysics is the main characteristic. This kind of philosophy
