However, there are some barriers caused by different face perception between Chinese people and westerners to the mutual munication and understanding between them. Chinese people always try to maintain their public image and emphasize modesty, but westerners try not to harm the both sides’ positive face and emphasize on equality. In view of this, this paper interprets and summarizes the characteristics and classification of face view by referring to the previous research attempting to make a parative study on face in English and Chinese in verbal munication from addressing terms, requests, thanks, pliments and apologies. This paper mainly talks about the differences between Chinese face view and western face view and analyzes their manifestation in English and Chinese verbal munication. In addition, this paper also explores the differencenarrowing trend of face consideration and provides suggestions to avoid conflicts caused by different face views. In hopes that it can make people realize the importance of face view and help them increase their intercultural awareness when using face view.

In international munication, China, as a representative of the East, pours great attention into face view. Meanwhile, the western countries expect to save face as well. However, whether in definition, content, expression or politeness principles, China and the West are very different. As a result, these differences often affect intercultural collaboration in face understanding and politeness strategies. Analysis of the distinctions, study of the reasons, and understandings of the different politeness principle obviously make for decrease of cultural clash as well as effective conduct of intercultural munication. “Face” is rich in content and everyone concerns for their “face”. “Face” culture is an interesting culture phenomenon and is covered under the topic of human relations. Actually, “face” and “face” culture are the reflection of people’s attitude towards the munication between people. They are important factors in human relations.
