They lose the memory of their own nation’s history and the cultural symbol which match with their figures and station. These people, such as Amy Tan and other ChineseAmerican writers as well as the daughters in The Joy Luck Club, are born and grow up in America, so they don’t realize the meaning of their yellow skin and dark hair. They feel confused and embarrassed to lose the relationship with history only when they are considered as Chinese by others, but they know nothing about their native culture. Although Chinese people are deeply affected by the western culture, especially American culture, in the process of globalization, more and more people realize that Chinese culture has its own value, and it cannot be eliminated. Chinese culture can absorb other cultures’ essence and can keep pace with the world’s development despite the backward aspect of it.Culture should be treated seriously, and anything that belongs to culture can’t be discarded easily, such as the dragon symbol. Dragon in Chinese culture symbolizes the stubbornness and the Chinese nation, but in western culture, it symbolizes the evil, so some one argues to cancel the dragon symbol. More people, however, argue that the dragon symbol could not be cancelled, for it is the root and the most important thing in Chinese culture. If it were cancelled many Chinese idioms and expressions would lose their root, such as “l(fā)ong teng hu yue” and “l(fā)ong ma jing shen”. Chinese people should have confidence on Chinese culture while learning the excellent cultures from other countries。 our own culture should be transmitted to others so that there will be less difficulties in the process of munication.The westerners view China as a closed country and the people are conservative, lacking of creativity, so a correct attitude to our culture should be held. At the end of the novel, the understanding and reconciliation not only shows the author’s inheritance of Chinese traditional novels, but more important, embodies a correct attitude towards culture, that is, to inherit the mother culture and to absorb the new culture and to find balance between cultures. Today, in the multicultural context, if the traditional Chinese culture is given up, there would be no bridge between tradition and new cultures, but if only the native culture is taken seriously and the differences between cultures is exaggerated, the conflicts between cultures will be more intense, and then, there will be no hope of peace, mon development and prosperity. ConclusionIn the novel the Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan describes the conflicts between the mothers and the daughters. The misunderstandings between the mothers and the daughters in the novel are caused by the different cultural backgrounds and experiences. Fortunately, through painful efforts, the mothers and the daughters begin to understand and municate each other at the end of the story, which metaphorically demonstrates the transition of the relationship between Chinese and American culture from conflicts to blending. As to our Chinese culture, it faces many challenges in the context of globalization. Although learning new technologies from other countries and absorbing the essence of other cultures are necessary, Chinese culture should be protected. History and present interacts each other, and they inherit each other. There39。s no country in the world which can ignore the past with today’s prosperity. If anyone forgets his past, and loses his history, he will bee a person without history and tradition, and he cannot really locate himself in the multicultural society, and he will lose the base of development. The Chinese nation has a long and old history。 the ChineseAmerican39。s history which is bestowed by their nature shouldn39。t be ignored, and this is the real reason for the mothers to try to bine their history with their lives in American and pass them on to their daughters. In this sense, the aim of recalling the history is to grasp the present and the future better. Bibliography[1] Beidler, Peter G. Writing Matters.
