Abstract Tea is not only a kind of drink, but also a culture and a spirit. Referring to the tea culture, the first country that emerges in people's minds is often China. Indeed, China is the largest tea producer in the world, so there is rich and special tea culture in China. With the development of history, tea culture has been developed and promoted and it was given a profound cultural connotation. However, because of the different origins and ways of drinking, the connotations of tea culture are also very different. Britain is the largest tea consuming country in the world and the British Low Tea culture gets a new height with the British unique historical background and customs although tea culture originated in China. British Low Tea culture is one of the British landmark features, with noble and elegant temperament. It profoundly affected British lifestyle, and had a great significance in the British literature works. In this thesis, the British Low Tea culture will be studied. This thesis will analyze the history, development, rituals and cultural content of British Low Tea culture by using document analysis and film and television analysis from the perspective of culture and sum up the nature of the British Low Tea culture and enhance the standings of the British Low Tea culture, while promoting the exchange of tea culture between China and Britain, so as to avoid cultural differences caused by culture communication misunderstanding. Key words: British Low Tea Culture; overview; cultural connotation 摘 要 茶不仅是一种饮品，更是一种文化，一种精神。提及茶文化，人们脑海中浮现的第一个国家往往是中国。确实，中国作为世界上的第一茶叶生产大国，其茶文化丰富多彩。经过历史的开展，茶文化得到了开展和提升，同时，被赋予了深刻的文化内涵。然而，茶的起源不同，饮用方式不同，所承载的文化内涵也存在很大的差异。英国作为全球最大的茶叶消费国家，在其独有的历史背景和风俗文化下，形成了英国独具特色的下午茶文化，把茶文化推向了新的高度。英国下午茶文化是英国标志性的特征之一,具有高贵优雅的气质,并深刻地影响了人们的生活方式，同时在英国文化作品中具有重要意义。本文以“英国下午茶文化〞为研究主题,从文化视角出发，利用跨文化交际理论，采用文献资料和影视作品分析的方法对“英国下午茶文化〞的历史开展、礼仪和文化内容做出比拟全面的论述，总结出英国下午茶文化的本质，增加对英国下午茶文化的了解，同时促进中英两国在茶文化上的交流，从而防止由于文化差异造成的文化交流误会。 关键词：英国下午茶；概貌；文化内涵 Contents 云南民族大学毕业论文(设计)原创性声明 i Acknowledgments ii Abstract iii 摘 要 iv 1.
