摘要

The cultural dimension refers to the five cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede and supplemented by later scholars.Its role is to serve as a framework for measuring the differences between cultures of various countries.The Joy Luck Club shows the cultural differences between China and America by describing the contradictions between four pairs of Chinese mothers and daughters.At present,most of the analysis of cultural differences in novels lack systematic summary and deep excavation.As we all know,the root of the contradiction between mothers and daughters is the cultural conflicts,and this paper will take Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory as a framework and use“the joy luck club”as the text to reveal the deeper cultural reasons for the contradictions between mothers and daughters through literature and theories.
