Abstract
Diet plays an important role in the social life. In the currently fast-developing society, especially when the inter-culture communication is becoming increasingly wide, we can strongly experience the culture shock between Chinese and western cultures, in which the most outstanding shock lies in the Chinese and western dietary cultures. Under different cultural backgrounds, Chinese and the western develop their own distinctive dietetic culture, which, to a great extent, reflect the difference between the Chinese value and the western value. There are so many differences between the Chinese and western dietary culture includes the food subject, dietary customs, cooking method and the table manners. This paper is trying to illustrate the different values that are reflected in the food culture through three aspects: individualism and collectivism, conservatism and pioneering spirit, rationalism and sensibility.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background information
Nowadays, the society develops so rapidly, so there are so many cross-cultural communications. All of us can feel the collision between the Chinese culture and the western culture.
As an important part of the culture, the dietary culture is a quite significant part of the world culture either in Asian or in the western countries. Chinese people always say that “Food is the paramount necessity of the people”. The writer of this paper thinks this saying exactly shows the importance of food culture. In the past years, both China and the western countries have developed different food culture under the different cultural background, and thus we can see the different values reflected in these different dietary cultures. To master these two different food cultures and various values reflected can help us to have a deep understanding for the difference and deal with the culture exchange.
