The way of eating and dressing can reflect the cultural context and national characteristics of each nation. The way of eating and dressing is closely related to people's lives, so there are many idioms and proverbs about the way of eating and dressing. The process of cultural, political and economic communication between China and Vietnam in history has made the daily eating and dressing of the Han and Vietnamese people have many similarities. However, because the two nations have different cultural traditions, their ways of thinking are also different. To analyze the similarities and differences in idioms and proverbs about the way of eating and dressing between China and Vietnam, we conducted a survey of two aspects: structural characteristics and semantic characteristics. In-depth research on the structure of Chinese and Vietnamese idioms, we divided the structure of Chinese idioms into 7 types, and the structure of Vietnamese idioms into 3 types. Chinese idioms include proverbs, end-words and commonly used words, so the structure of Chinese proverbs is a bit complicated and not the same. The structure of Vietnamese proverbs has a one-part structure, a two-part structure, a balanced structure, a skewed structure and a multi-part structure, in which the two-part structure is the most common. We also analyzed the ways of creating meaning of idioms and proverbs in Chinese and Vietnamese. We analyzed the structure, figurative meaning, literal meaning and rhetorical devices to learn about the way of creating meaning of idioms and proverbs in Chinese and Vietnamese. Idioms and proverbs have strong national cultural characteristics, expressing customs, social context and living conditions of the people. Language is the material that creates a culture with a unique national identity, and it is in language that the characteristics of national culture are most clearly preserved. 12. Practical applicability (if any) Our thesis will contribute to the theoretical research of idioms and proverbs in Chinese and Vietnamese, creating favorable conditions for language teaching and cultural exchange between the two countries. 13. Further research directions The thesis is a comparative study of idioms and proverbs in Chinese and Vietnamese. We hope to continue to delve into research and achieve achievements in this research direction. Especially the study of the structure and method of creating meaning in idioms and proverbs.

Clothing style can reflect the cultural background and the national characteristic of each nation. The clothing style has close relation to the life of the people, so there are many idioms, proverbs related to the clothing style. In the course of the exchange of culture, politics, economy between China and Vietnam in the history, this leads the similar characters in daily clothing style of the Sino and the Vietnamese. But the two nations have their own different cultures, correspondingly, their thought is different. To analyze similar and different characters in idioms, proverbs regarding the clothing style between China and Vietnam, we conducted a survey in terms of both structural characteristic and semantic characteristic. To go into the structural research on Sino idioms and Vietnamese idioms, we divide the structure of Sino and Vietnamese idioms into 7 types and 03 types respectively. Sino proverb includes sayings, xiehouyu and familiar words, so the structure of Sino idiom is quite complicated and different while for the structure of Vietnamese, 2-side structure is most popular. We also analyzed semantic methods of idioms, proverbs in Sino and Vietnamese. We analyzed structure, figurative sense, literal sense and rhetorical methods to understand how to create sense of idioms, proverbs in Sino and Vietnamese. Idiom, proverb bears profound characters of the national culture, expressing customs and habits as well as social background and existing life of the people. Language is material making its own specific characters of the nation, in the language itself, characters of the national culture are reserved at best. 12.
