Abstract：In Pavilion of Women, by virtue of numerous dietary activities delineated, Pearl Buck traces deep into the core of Chinese Dietary culture and leads the Western readers to savor its rich and profound pregnancy: being observant of rites, pursuing harmony with nature in accordance with yin-yang theory, advocating a well-balanced diet in moderation and practicing medicinal cuisine for health promotion and sickness-prevention and -healing and etc, which reflects Chinese people’s traditional moral principles, customs, esthetic consciousness and philosophy of living. Pearl Buck’s Pavilion of Women serves as a telling counterexample against Westerners’ deep-rooted “Other” image of the Oriental dietary culture: uncultivated and weird, which, in a way, reflects Buck’s sensible attitude toward cross-cultural interpretation.
