Why do Westerners like to have parties while Chinese like to have dinners?

The primary purpose of a party is to satisfy the basic social need of human beings -- chatting. The secondary purpose is to drink, pick up girls and dance.

The primary purpose of a party is to satisfy the basic social need of human beings -- chatting. The secondary purpose is to drink, pick up girls and dance. Rare only a few friends in the local, to gather time to gather weekly chat, very difficult to gather, who knows who has which day which half a year ago on the calendar termin... To save the trouble, just set a regular time for all the free friends and friends of friends... If you're free that day, you're sure to meet someone else to chat with.

Germans were too shy to talk because there were so many strangers, so they needed a drink to break the ice -- a party was formed. Because there will be a lot of strangers of the opposite sex, embarrassed to directly ask for sex, so have some music, dance can feel each other's intention - disco came into being.

Any time, any place, with a desire to eat, anything can be a reason to run to the table. Happy time, so happy let's have a big meal to celebrate! When sad, so sad let's eat a big meal to scatter the mind. Holiday, today is a rare XX festival, we don't eat a meal are sorry for this holiday! Birthday time, today's birthday we don't eat a meal that still count as a birthday? An ordinary day... What a boring day! Let's have a big meal! Old classmates/old friends haven't seen each other for a long time. I must go to have a good meal today. I know a place where the food is delicious. Let's have something to eat and talk about it.

Food culture occupies a very important position in the daily life of the Chinese people, and because of our special preference for "eating", countless various cuisines have been derived, so that we can proudly say that Chinese food is the first in the world. In the process of Chinese People's Daily interpersonal communication, the table occupies an extremely important position. Moreover, because Chinese people attach great importance to "human relationship", "dinner party" becomes more natural.
