What are high context culture and low context culture?

The so-called high-context culture means that the connotation is rich and the words are simple. In Chinese, it is concise, and even can only be understood but difficult to express. In daily life, some famous sayings and epigrams belong to high context, and many people also take this high context as their motto, because this context is really too high, which attracts people's yearning and is held by life. For example, "A gentleman is always striving for self-improvement" is a typical high-context language. The opposite of high context is low context culture. Low context has the characteristics of concrete and detailed, and at the same time it is trivial, nagging and meticulous, which is low context. Here, the product description, or conveying a friend's address or telephone number, is the low-context mode, which is the basic content of social daily communication.
