Introduction and Background
The concept of culture can be elusive; its definition is often contingent on the context in

traditions, beliefs, practices, language, and diverse aspects that distinctly set one apart from
others of different cultures. Among many cultural groups worldwide, Chinese culture emerges as

Mid-Autumn Festival are celebrated with colorful rituals. This paper will explore the diverse
aspects and complexities within the Chinese culture, particularly concerning health-related
matters such as healthcare beliefs, special considerations that should be taken in caring for
people in this community, faced disparities, their cultural effect on their health, and comparison
between American culture.
