Face is something that is emotionally invested, and that can be lost, maintained, or enhanced, and must be constantly attended to in interaction. In general, people cooperate and assume each other's cooperation in maintaining face in interaction, such cooperation being based on the mutual vulnerability of face. In China and American, the expression "To save face" describes the lengths that an individual may go to in order to preserve their established position in society, taking action to ensure that one is not thought badly of by his or her peers. And the etiquette of payment also varies from Chinese and American. 2.Etiquette of payment in China and America 2.1Etiquette in China In China, people also see that one men who pay For the expense for all of the people who accompany him. For example, in Chinese restaurant, Chinese always get together and share their happiness or sadness when they are eating. When they finish their food, people don’t need to worry about who will pay for this meal, because, generally, most of them come to the reception desk to struggle to pay for the expenditure. Someone even pay for the meal in advance, which can earn his face, and others will thank for him, and he also can get a sense of satisfaction. So in China, if one man invite you to have a dinner, which mostly means he will pay for you. 2.2Etiquette in American In American, people tend to have dinner for payment of AA system, which means they have to pay for themselves, even one couples following AA system too. So when people invite another one to have a dinner, he just want you to come with him. If he say, it’s my treat. Then he will pay for the expense. So it’s common that people see Americans gather money to pay for the check when they have relished their food. 3.The reasons For the differences of payment of Chinese and American China has a long history, one of the traditional culture of confucian values pay the attention to the cordiality. They are many things which can be solved by a meal. We also can know that Chinese regard the payment for meal as a kind of investment. They believe they can get reward. There is a saying “Courtesy demands reciprocity” in China, and this saying just reflect this phenomenon. Chinese pay their attention to the collectivism. These collectivism culture reinforce extended families and collectives where everyone takes responsibility for fellow members of their group. So Chinese always pay for the meal positively in order to get fame or be respected by others. While in America, American are keen on AA payment system. They think that this kind of system is a kind of respect to other’s privacy. They pay the attention to the interest and doesn’t want to own other people anything. Their won’t solve the problems on the table. They just want to appreciate the meal. We know that America praise highly on freedom and American is belonging to the group of individualism, competition rather than cooperation is encouraged; personal goals take precedence over group goals; people tend not to be emotionally dependent on organizations and institutions; and every individual has the right to his/her private property, thoughts and opinions. So they won’t pay for others, they just want to deal with his own business. 4.The importance of knowing the difference of payment Supposing that one Chinese goes to America one day, one of his new friend say to him:“ hey, buddy! Do you want to get a food with me?” “why not.” Then they come to eat together. When they finish the food, the Chinese sit to wait the American to pay, when the American pay For the food, the Chinese guy become mad because the American only pay for himself, so he has to pay for his expense. Then when they get out of the restaurant, the Chinese guy wear a mad impression on his face and only say bye to the American without any other words. As a Chinese, he thought that what this American friend done has make him lost his face. But for the American, he thought that he use a normal way to make friends and keep both of them has face, why the Chinese guy feel angry with me. This kind of awkward situation caused by their different face culture background, if any of them know the differences between the two kind of cultures, this embarrassing situation will be avoided.
