The economic success of China is changing the way Chinese people look at money. The people, who now have more money available, are beginning to enter into a material consumer culture. This new excess has allowed more spending on movie, books, concerts, dramas, and a host of other things. This has dramatically changed since when people were interested more in buying food than in entertainment. These new consumptive habits and attitudes have created many differences in society. This is especially true of the gap between generations. Young people today focus a lot of their attention on brands, which are made up of both international and domestic name brands. The desire to possess these famous name brands in clothing and electronics, has led to the massive increase in these industries. Another interesting effect has been the rise of tourism and its related industries within China. Chinese tourists are beginning to explore their own country in increasing numbers. The opening of the new railway to Tibet is an example of the excitement people have for visiting famous places in China. More people are now being exposed to the wonders of China’s cultural and natural heritage. Therefore, environmental protection and green consumption are on the rise. This new awareness of the environment and culture is echoed by China’s large consumption on education and educational products. It can be argued that education has become a big part of the people’s consumption. All of these new consumptive attitudes are changing the face of China, as it becomes more global.

中國經(jīng)濟的成功正改變著中國人看待金錢的方式。擁有更多周轉(zhuǎn)資金的人們正步入物質(zhì)消費的文化當(dāng)中。這使得他們可以將更多錢消費于看電影、購買書籍、聽演唱會、觀看戲劇和其他許多事情上。這完全改變了人們先前喜歡把錢花在購買食物而絕非娛樂的歷史。這些新的消費習(xí)慣和態(tài)度給社會帶來了諸多不同。這尤其體現(xiàn)在幾代人之間的代溝問題上。當(dāng)今年輕人關(guān)注的焦點是國內(nèi)外的名牌。擁有名牌服裝和電子產(chǎn)品的欲望使這些產(chǎn)業(yè)有大幅度增長。另外一個有趣的現(xiàn)象是中國旅游業(yè)及其相關(guān)產(chǎn)業(yè)的崛起。不斷增多的中國旅游者正開始開發(fā)本國的旅游業(yè)。青藏鐵路的開通便是中國人游覽名勝古跡興奮之情的例子?，F(xiàn)在，越來越多的人去游覽中國的文化和自然遺產(chǎn)，因此環(huán)境保護和綠色消費不斷興起。中國在教育和教育產(chǎn)品上的巨大消費體現(xiàn)著環(huán)境和文化的新意識。教育已經(jīng)成為人們消費的一大部分。隨著中國國際化程度的加強，所有這些新的消費態(tài)度正改變著中國的面貌。
