Publishing Date: 2002-01-01
Features: This book introduces food culture, wine culture, leisure culture, drama culture, language culture, and architectural culture. Some of the content was published in 1993 under the title "Tourism and Life Culture" by Tourism Education Press, with a total of 140,000 words. The content was originally written as lecture notes for the "Traditional Culture and Sino-Western Comparison" course I taught at Beijing Tourism College. It has been slightly expanded during organization. In addition to revising the original manuscript and adding over 20,000 words, this edition also includes "Drama Culture," "Language Culture," and "Architectural Culture," nearly doubling the book's length and changing the title to "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry—A Sino-Western Comparative Dialogue." Of course, the content is not limited to discussing "eating, drinking, playing, and having fun."
