12、 Culture is a kind of historical phenomenon. It was produced with the development of human society. Although China and western countries located in the different area of the world, the social development course is the same roughly. They are both development from the primitive society to modern socie

13、ty. Therefore, they have many similarities in culture. Ghost culture, as the common culture of Chinese and western of vampire culture, also has its similarities. As the worldwide cultural phenomenon, ghost culture has a long history both in China and western countries. Chinese ghost is the soul afte

14、r death. The production of the Ghost idea is not only the worship for nature of the ancients, but also the fear for darkness and the longing for ideal the spiritual life. The reason of the vampire culture popularity is benefited from the literature and film partly. In the west, there are lots of lit

As the important part of the Chinese and western culture, Chinese ghost and western va

17、mpire culture is the common product of human spirit activities. Knowing the differences and similarities between the Chinese and western culture, we can better to solve the conflict of cross-cultural communication and contradiction. This paper will focus on the comparison of the two parts. The first

19、nally, based on the summing up the whole paper, this thesis emphasizes the importance of ghost and vampire culture. Whats more, it discusses the cultural root and the functions of reality and it inherits the profound cultural connotation between Chinese and western culture.1 Comparison of vampire an

20、d ghost 1.1 The background of vampire The legend of Vampire is originated from the fear and worship for blood of western people. The development of understanding the world and human themselves was formed gradually, and the process is very long. The ancient western people feel difficult to understand

21、 disease, death and physiology phenomenon, especially for blood. Therefore they imagine many kinds of monsters. The vampire is the typical one. This shows that western human ancestors fear of nature. If there is a complete history of the documentary record, that is the history of the vampire.-Rousse

22、auAs a symbol of the life, the blood has an important status in the Christian and the tide of European civilization. From the beginning, blood act as the symbol of evil and mystery. Therefore, it laid a solid foundation for the appearance of vampire.1.1.1 The early origin of the vampireAccording to

23、the Bible, the origin of vampire is Cain. Adam and Eve were drive out of the Eden garden by the God. After that they lived in wild. They gave birth to a lot of children. Cain is their first child, the third people of the world. As Cain killed his own brother and be punished by God. Cain must make th

24、e living with peoples blood. Although he can live forever with the blood, he only can live in dark place and be cursed after his generation. After that, Cain married with Lilith (Lilith first appeared in Sumerian myth, the first wife of Adam in the old agreement of Judaism, for she dissatisfied with

25、 God then left the Garden of Eden). Lilith taught Cain howto suck the blood from people to gain power. According to this, some one think Lilith is the real one of the original vampire. Actually, all of these are invented by later generations, but these laid the foundation for the literature of vampi

26、re. It is also the most popular statement about the origin of the vampire. 1.1.2 The reality cause Actually, there are many other versions about the origin of vampire. But one of the most convincing and also the most scientific basis statement is about the plague during the dark period of the middle

27、 century. During the middle of the 14 century, at the east Europe range of the east of Prussia, Silesia and Bohemia, these areas spread with disease. In order to avoid infected, people did not distinguish whether the patient is really die or not, and buried those people in a hurry. Few days later, p

28、eople open up the grave for some reason, they found that body changed the posture, and even some body still stained with blood. In fact, it was because that the people who buried at that time has not really dead, they were just in a deep coma. And after they waked up, they were struggled in the grav

29、e. However, in the poverty, block and foolish place, the people said that was the vampire. Then, the ghost stories about the vampire were spread quickly. When they cannot rely on the government and themselves, people began to seek the liberation and a relief in spirit. Thus, it caused the legend of

30、vampire for hundreds years.1.2 The causes of Chinese ghost culture The ghost culture in China is one of the important content which cannot be neglected in Chinese traditional culture. It reflects many aspects of the peoples values. We can not simply consider the ghost culture as superstition. After

31、all, the awareness of ghost culture has rooted in the peoples mind. We should know the rooted cause of the production of ghost culture. Analysis詞性不正確 the related materials and customs can help us know better about the ghost culture. According to this, we can know more about the ghost culture, then u

32、se it do some contribution to human-being. In fact, the source of the ghost is multiple, complex and changeable. First, the ghost is linked with the soul, and the soul is related with dreams closely. At that time, the people believed that though people were dead, but the soul is in the world. So, ou

33、r ancientancestors draw the conclusion that people is made up by two parts, the body and the soul. The body can die, however, the soul never die. When the pPeople died, the soul delivered from the mans body, and then it becomes the ghost. It is just an explanation for the cause of ghost. The ghost c

34、ulture comes out following the idea of ghost. 1.2.1 The fear for natural force The economic basis determines the superstructure. Any production of the social phenomenon has its profound social resource. And all of the productions can be obtained from the basis of social existence, including the ghos

35、t culture of China. Because of poor science and technological level of the feudal society people, people can not explain the dreams and sudden death. Therefore they imagine the existence of ghost In order to seek the life material, our ancients battled with nature for a long time, and separated them

36、selves with the surrounding environment gradually. Then they had a clear sense of themselves, and knew the certain natural phenomenon and process. They found that some natural phenomenon can bring the enjoyment unexpected. However, some natural phenomenon can bring them disaster, even death. When th

37、e human at that time could not get rid of the terrorist and fear of the natural force, especially all kinds of natural hazards that they couldnt solve around them, they gradually formed the concept of the ghost and soul. It also reflected that in the society of low productivity people is weak and fe

38、eble before the naturale phenomenon. 1.2.2 The desire for the psychological life In the ancient society, the worker lived the life under oppression of the cruel ruling class. The contradictions between the ruling class and the public are extremely sharp. However, people did not dare to attack the ex

39、ploiting class in public. They still wanted that something can help them to easy the pain, they hope some one can punish the evil people and give the reward to kind people. Therefore, people created a false ghost society that largely the same with reality society. In the false world, people can rele

40、ase the suffering and unfair of the reality world wantonly. In their mind, they can use the supernatural ability to reward kind and punish evil people. In this way, they can pursuit the social justice and the happy life in their mind. To some extent, the ghost culture meets the peoples psychological

41、 demands. At the same time, these kinds of psychological needs in turn promote the development of ghost culture in China. 1.2.3 The political reasonIn order to control of peoples thought better, political masters of the feudal society largely imported the Buddhist thought. The masters hype the Buddh

42、ism thought that as a man sows, so let him reap among the common people. The thought was the concept of ghost culture. Thus it played the role of maintaining the feudal grassroots for political power.1.3 The similarity of vampire and ghost 1.3.1 originality:Came out with humans image The important r

43、eason of the similarity between Western vampire and Oriental ghost culture come from the ancient peoples distortion thought for dream and soul. Dream is fantasy. When Chinese and western people is still in the primitive society of low productivity, peoples thinking ability cant understand the physio

44、logy phenomenon of dream. In the dream, people seem to go everywhere easily and meet anyone. This can not happen in reality world. In addition, the shape of vampire and ghost imagined by people is similar to human. 1.3.2purpose: In order to meet the demand of humanThe ghost culture of the east can s

45、atisfied the feeling of missing the dead relatives for people. In addition, it also can meet the curiosity of human. Therefore, the vampire culture also has the same functions for human-beings. Therefore, people created a false ghost and vampire society that is largely the same with real society. In

46、 the false world, people can release the suffering and unfair of the reality world wantonly. In their mind, they can use the supernatural ability to reward kind and punish evil people. In this way, they can pursuit the social justice and the happy life in their mind. To some extend, the ghost and va

47、mpire culture meets the peoples psychological demands. At the same time, this kind of psychological needs in turn to promote the development of ghost and vampire culture in China. 1.3.3cause: Due to the fear of dying The life and health are the essential things for people, and yet people are linked

48、with disease and death closely. It is a great threat for both Chinese and western people in ancient time. Therefore, it forced people to find a way to explain and pray for liberation in urgent need. However, their thinking ability is extremely low at that time, and people could not find the scientif

49、ic explanation. Then, they gradually formed the concept of the ghost and soul. And the vampire also is an explanation for the plague and the rabies at that time in Europe.2 Characteristics of vampire and Chinese ghost2.1 The characteristics of the vampire 2.1.1 Basic features No shadow: people belie

50、ve that vampire have no shadows. The shadow and image are the symbol of the soul, therefore, the vampire have no shadow.The long and sharp fangs: vampire usually gains the blood by sucking blood of living people. Usually, they can hide the feature. It has become the main feature of the vampire. Actually, this statement belongs to the imagination of literature writers, as the early vampire does not like that. They need not have to access people, and they still can inh
