Abstract
With the high-speed development of science and economy, the communication between different nations becomes more and more frequent. Discussion and research on the differences between Western and Chinese culture and the trends of the cultures become more and more significant. Since the differences between different cultures continue to exist. In this circumstance, we should learn more about the historical and cultural background of other countries. Only in this way can we avoid possible conflicts and reduce unnecessary frictions and communication barriers, creating a harmonious world.
This thesis first briefly introduces the development of cross-cultural communication in China and Western countries, and then gives a thorough analysis about the cultural clash and differences between China &Western countries through the movie "Guasha Treatment" and tries to emphasize that in the cross-cultural communication the clashes in different cultures are inevitable, but finally the two cultures tend toward reconcilability.

1 Introduction
In such a globalizing world, people have noticed the importance of frequent communication and have realized the significance of cross-communication. But did we know why there are differences among different cultures? Actually, most people know little about the differences or only have some stereotypes. So the cultural conflicts cannot be avoided. The development of culture can reflect a nation’s basic situation and comprehensive quality. To some extent, culture becomes the symbol of nation spirit. With the high-speed development of science and economics, discussion and research on the differences between Western and Chinese culture and the trends of culture become so significant that we can learn from other countries’ cultures to find common ground, which will benefit the interaction and communication among the countries, and help to dispel misunderstanding, reduce the conflicting situation and achieve a win-win situation finally. 电影《刮痧》折射的中西文化冲突和差异:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_29947.html
