Abstract: This paper contrasts some Chinese and English Materials of National Museum of China, in hope of finding the similarity and differences between common Chinese and English tourist materials and exploring the reasons why Chinese tourist materials are different from English tourist materials. The similarity of Chinese and English tourist materials is that they both give information to tourists according to science and history. There are three differences between Chinese and English materials: plainness versus ornaments, different focuses and different sentence constructions. In this paper, the reasons can be concluded as differences in the ways of thinking, languages, cultural backgrounds and functions of tourist materials.
