The Spread of Chinese Culture in the English Major Education

Abstract

With the development of globalization, Chinese culture has become increasingly prominent on the international stage. Chinese culture has a long history, contains rich cultural connotations and ideological essence, and has had a profound impact on the development of Chinese and even world culture. With the rise of China and the improvement of its international status, the dissemination of Chinese culture in the international arena is getting more and more attention. Under such a background, as the inheritor and disseminator of Chinese culture, and as an important carrier for the dissemination of Chinese culture, the English major in universities bears the important responsibility of cultivating talents with international vision and cultural communication ability. However, at present, there is a serious "cultural imbalance" in China's English education and foreign exchanges, i.e., only focusing on the introduction and learning of English-speaking cultures, the so-called "input", and neglecting the introduction and dissemination of Chinese cultures to western countries, the so-called "output" and "dissemination". "Output" and "Going out". Therefore, many students have studied English for more than ten years, but they do not know how to introduce China's natural landscape and traditional culture to their foreign friends in English, and they cannot introduce China's political and economic system and national policy in English. Communication means absorption and dissemination, however, compared with the study of Western culture, there is still a large room for improvement in the inheritance and dissemination of Chinese culture in the teaching of English majors.
