Publishing Date: 2002-01-01
Features: This book introduces topics such as food culture, wine culture, leisure culture, drama culture, language culture, and architectural culture. Some parts of the book were previously published in 1993 under the title "Tourism and Life Culture" by Tourism Education Press, with a total of 140,000 words. The content is derived from lecture notes prepared for the "Traditional Culture and Sino-Western Comparative Studies" course at Beijing Tourism College. During the revision, it was slightly expanded. In addition to revising the original manuscript and adding over 20,000 more words, the book now includes sections on "drama culture," "language culture," and "architectural culture," doubling its length. The title has also been changed to "Eating, Drinking, Having Fun—A Sino-Western Comparative Discussion." Of course, the content goes beyond just talking about "eating, drinking, having fun."
