Self-exploration And Magination Of Others In Cultural Identity

With the developing of globalization,cross-cultural communication has become an integral part of human social activities.Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages essentially is a cross-cultural communication.Chinese American female writers are belong to these two different cultures and are marginalized at the same time.In the exploration of cultural identity,they think about how to break the cultural barrier and accomplish intercultural writing.The study of cross-cultural writing,intercultural communication strategies,intercultural communication psychology,Intercultural communication science are of great significance to the Chinese teaching.The study of Chinese American literature is based on the category of Chinese American writers.In addition,this article mainly discusses the Chinese American women's literature of intercultural communication,focusing on the author's cultural identity and cultural perspective.So it is tended to discuss women writers who have been educated in the United States and have American social experience,but they also have Chinese and Chinese ancestry,as well as their novels written in the United States in English.It is hard for Chinese American writers to explore cultural identity in cross-cultural writing.From the overall creation,the rise of Chinese American women's literature has a complex historical background and unique cultural origin.In the process of development,it can be divided into four creative stages.Each stage represents the writer's writing background and his works.In the cross-cultural context,the three writers of Jade Snow Wong,Amy Tan and Celeste Ng are relatively representative,and their works show the difficult exploration and choice of their own cultural identity.In the Chinese American novels,there are differences in the "ego"positioning of the first,second generation of Chinese Americans.They experienced swaying and transmutation at different stages,thus adopting corresponding cross-cultural communication strategies.The first generation of Chinese immigrants grew up in China,so they always adhere to the Chinese culture while adhering to the feudal concept of patriarchal clan system.Facing the strong mainstream culture in their host country,they adopt an adaptive cross-cultural communication strategy,which is superficial and temporary.The second generation of Chinese people experienced the transformation from "assimilation" ideal to "fusion" strategy.From escaping Chinese culture to the exclusion of American mainstream culture,the Chinese people longed for the return,and finally found the "self" in maintaining the original culture and the integration of the "other".On the basis of "self",the first generation of Chinese immigrants,second generations of Chinese and American white people,respectively,take the "self" as the main body and examine the other two,and regard it as a cross cultural "other".The first generation of Chinese immigrants went to the United States in a dream of gold rush.After arriving in the United States,they found that their cultural values were quite different from that of the white society.Even cultural differences exist in family and educational concepts with their children.Unable to change,they chose a cross-cultural communication mode of silence and adaptation.The second generation of Chinese is undoubtedly Chinese in the eyes of American whites.Subjected to racial prejudice,they yearn to integrate into the United States and want to maintain themselves so that they are constantly trying to reconcile the Sino American cultural clashes in cross-cultural communication.However,the white American social culture and Chinese culture are quite different,so the first generation of Chinese in their eyes is not different from the second generation of Chinese.As the sounding of the mainstream culture,they accept and melt culture from all over the world with strong confidence,but they are not equal in this intercultural dialogue,and they often subjectively assume the other's culture with their own inherent impressions.Cross cultural examination is based on the inherent "Chinese impression".There are cultural misreading and innovation in cross-cultural writing.The two above have certain influence and Enlightenment on Chinese international education.Chinese American novels such as "Fifth Chinese Daughter" and "The Joy Luck Club" create mysterious Chinese traditional culture.At the same time,it also created the image of hardworking,simple,stubborn and hardheaded Chinese,which became the "Chinese impression" of American society.In the international education of Chinese,this kind of "stereotyped impression"should be treated carefully.On the one hand,we should use the impression to strengthen the promotion of Chinese culture.On the other hand,we should pay attention to the enlargement and misunderstanding of the stereotype.It is unavoidable that Chinese American writers have misunderstood,filtered and innovating Chinese culture in their dual cultural identity.Is it misunderstanding or adaptive innovation?Is it a default or an exact explanation?How to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of cross cultural communication?All these require further study of Chinese international education.
