Culture of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The culture of England is sometimes difficult to separate clearly from the culture of the United Kingdom, so influential has English culture been on the cultures of the British Isles and, on the other hand, given the extent to which other cultures have influenced life in England.
Art
The Hay Wain by John Constable is considered an archetypal English paintingMain article: English art
English art is a term referring to a body of art originating from England. Nikolaus Pevsner attempted a definition in his 1956 book The Englishness of English Art.
It has developed over several millenia, to recent movements such as Brit Art, and now encompasses a variety of forms - painting, photography, sculpture and performance art.
It is often considered that English landscape painting typifies the tradition of English art, mirroring as it does the development of the country house and its landscaping.
[edit]
Cuisine
Main article: English cuisine
England being the first instrialised country in the world, urbanised workers were in many cases cut off from regional food traditions. Some consider that English cuisine has consequently suffered from a widespread image of blandness and lack of distinctiveness. The openness of English diners to exotic dishes has also meant that English cooking does not enjoy as high a profile as other nations' culinary traditions. More recently, a new style of cooking called Modern British has emerged that combines traditional British ingredients with foreign culinary influences.
The Full English breakfast remains an enring tradition for many, despite the increasing popularity of the continental-style breakfast, or no breakfast at all, for busy workers. Tea and beer are typical drinks. Cider is proced in the West Country, and the south of England has seen the reintroction of vineyards procing high quality white wine on a comparatively small scale.
England proces a range of cheeses in various regions, including:
Stilton cheese
Wensleydale cheese
Lancashire cheese
Dorset Blue Vinney cheese
Cheshire cheese
Double Gloucester cheese
Red Leicester
Other foods associated with England include:
Sunday roast
Lancashire Hotpot
Cornish pasty
Spotted Dick
Mince Pies
Fish and chips (and mushy peas)
Clotted cream from Devon and Cornwall
Yorkshire pudding
Sausage and mash
Eccles cake
Scones
Shepherd's Pie
Cumberland sausage
British Curries
Balti
Chicken Tikka Masala
Other typical British dishes

Folklore
Morris dancing is one of the more visible English folk traditions, with many differing regional variations.Main article: English folklore
English folklore is the folk tradition which has evolved in England over a number of centuries. Some English legends can be traced back to their roots, even as far as before the Roman invasion of Britain, while the origin of others is fairly uncertain or disputed. England abounds with folklore, in all forms, from such obvious manifestations as the traditional semi-mystical Arthurian legends and semi-historical Robin Hood tales, to contemporary urban myths and facets of cryptozoology such as the Beast of Bodmin Moor.
Morris dance and related practices such as the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance preserve old English folk traditions, as do Mummers Plays. The utopian vision of a traditional England is sometimes referred to as Merry England.
English mythology is no longer widely believed. Whereas some folklore legends were formerly believed nationally across the whole of England, most can generally be divided into regional areas of England.

Heritage
In recent years, Stonehenge has become a focus for modern summer solstice celebrationsStonehenge holds an iconic place in the culture of England. Other built structures like cathedrals and parish churches are associated with a sense of Englishness. The English country house and the lifestyle associated for centuries with an élite minority now forms an interest among many people in England as typified by visits to properties managed by English Heritage or the National Trust.
Landscape gardening as developed by Capability Brown set an international trend for the English garden. Gardening and visiting gardens are also a facet of the culture of England for many people.

Literature
William Hogarth's depiction of a scene from Shakespeare's The Tempest is an example of how English literature influenced English painting in the 18th centuryMain article: English literature
The term English literature refers to literature written in the English language, or literature composed in English by writers who are not necessarily from England. Writers noted for expressing Englishness, or associated particularly with regions of England, include William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy (Wessex), A. E. Housman (Shropshire), Rupert Brooke, Jane Austen, Arnold Bennett and the Lake Poets (Lake District).
But Joseph Conrad was Polish, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Edgar Allan Poe was American, Salman Rushdie is Indian: all have enriched English literature.

Music
Main article: Music of England
England has a long and rich musical history. The United Kingdom has, like most European countries, undergone a roots revival in the last half of the 20th century. English music has been an instrumental and leading part of this phenomenon, which peaked at the end of the 1960s and into the 1970s.
The achievements of the Anglican choral tradition following on from 16th century composers such as Thomas Tallis, John Taverner and William Byrd have tended to overshadow instrumental composition. The semi-operatic innovations of Henry Purcell did not lead to a native operatic tradition, but George Frederick Handel found important royal patrons and enthusiastic public support in England. The rapturous receptions afforded by audiences to visiting musical celebrities such as Haydn often contrasted with the lack of recognition for home-grown talent. However, the emergence of figures such as Edward Elgar and Arthur Sullivan in the 19th century showed a new vitality in English music. Ralph Vaughn Williams and others collected English folk tunes and adapted them to the concert hall. Cecil Sharp was a leading figure in the English folk revival.
Finally, a new beat out of Liverpool emerged in 1962. The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, became the world's most popular musicians of all time. The "Fab Four" opened the doors for British acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, Queen, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin to the globe.
Some of the leading contemporary artists include Kaiser Chiefs, The Arctic Monkeys, Robbie Williams and Coldplay.
[edit]
Religion
The Church of England functions as the established church in England. Other churches which have started in England include the Methodist church, the Quakers and the Salvation Army.
See also Religion in England.
[edit]
Sport and leisure
Cricket, football and rugby union are generally considered the national games. In recent years, more specifically after the 2003 Rugby World Cup, rugby union has become increasingly popular; as has cricket, following England's success in regaining the Ashes in 2005.

Culture
William Shakespeare.Main article: Culture of England
The culture of England is sometimes difficult to separate clearly from the culture of the United Kingdom, so influential has English culture been on the cultures of the British Isles and, on the other hand, given the extent to which other cultures have influenced life in England. It has also been spread over large parts of the globe e to the British Empire.
England has proced many famous authors including William Shakespeare, arguably the most famous in the history of the English language. This tradition has continued with the likes of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf, who are all often considered among the greatest writers of their time[citation needed]. Among these, stand the likes of many great English poets such as Lord Byron, John Keats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and many others. Also, Britain remained a central figure of literacy excellence throughout the past few centuries, notably Romanticism and Modernists.
Composers from England did not achieve the same recognition in comparison to their literary counterparts and were often overshadowed by European composers. However, in popular music English bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones have achieved success only rivaled by U.S. music. England is also credited for being the birth place of many pop culture movements, notably punk and acid house.

‘贰’ uk和English和England、British的区别
UK和English和England、British的区别:
1、意思不同:
UK是United Kingdom的英文缩写,也就是英国的英文缩写。英国的全称叫大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国,英文是United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
English有两个意思,一是英语,一个是英国人。
England表示英国,主要指英格兰。
British也表示英国,主要指大不列颠。它也用于表示所有英国人,或者英国英语。
2、概念范围不同:
UK主要是指英国这个国家,包括地理范围和民族文化等。
England主要指的是英格兰,英格兰是英国的主体部分,英格兰集中了英国80%的人口。
English表示英国人的时候,这里的英国人通常指的是英国的主体民族英格兰人。
British主要指大不列颠,包括英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰。它也用于表示所有英国人,或者英国英语。
3、使用环境不同:
UK主要是指英国这个国家,这是一个地理范围的概念,而English,England和British主要是强调民族和文化的概念,它们都可以表示英国。
English主要指英格兰这个主体的人和语言,England就是英格兰,British是大不列颠岛的人和语言。
(2)英国文化英文怎么写扩展阅读:
以上几个词之间的关系要分清的前提是要了解英国的组成,以及英国的语言和民族的发展。英国是由大不列颠岛和北爱尔兰以及一系列附属岛屿共同组成的一个西欧岛国。除本土之外,其还拥有十四个海外领地,其中以英格兰人为主体民族,占全国总人口的占83.9%。
这四个词在使用的时候,应该注意相关的语境,不同环境下使用不同的名称。另外,英国之所以叫英国,主要是因为它的主体是英格兰,所以习惯上这么叫,即中文叫英国,英文叫England。
英国名义上没有官方语,实际上以英语为主要语言。英格兰以外地区有其他官方语言,例如威尔士北部还使用威尔士语,苏格兰西北高地及北爱尔兰部分地区仍使用盖尔语。
