The difference between cultural tradition and traditional culture

Definition and scope, dynamic and static, influence and function.

1, Definition and Scope: Traditional culture usually refers to a stable cultural phenomenon formed by long-term historical evolution of specific regions and ethnic groups, including language, ideas, beliefs, art and customs. It emphasizes the historical inheritance and national characteristics of culture. Cultural tradition refers to deep-rooted cultural factors such as beliefs, values, codes of conduct and lifestyles passed down from generation to generation in a society or group. It includes not only traditional culture, but also broader and deeper cultural connotation.

2. Dynamic and static: Traditional culture is more of a static cultural phenomenon, emphasizing the inheritance and protection of the past. The cultural tradition is more dynamic, which includes not only the cultural elements of the past, but also the cultural innovation and development of the present and future. In the process of communication, cultural traditions will continue to be combined with new social and historical conditions, resulting in new cultural connotations and manifestations.

3. Influence and function: Traditional culture has an important influence on the sense of identity and cohesion of a nation or society, and is usually regarded as the cultural treasure and spiritual wealth of a nation or country. Cultural tradition has a deeper influence on people's way of thinking, behavior and values. It is an important part of social culture and plays an irreplaceable role in social stability and development.
