culture

According to the traditional concept of human beings, culture is a social phenomenon, a product created by human beings for a long time, a historical phenomenon and the accumulation of human social history. To be exact, culture is a way of thinking, values, lifestyle, code of conduct, artistic culture, science and technology that a country or a nation can inherit and spread. It is a recognized ideology that can be spread and passed down for human beings, and it is a sublimation of perceptual knowledge and experience of the objective world.

The culture we understand in our daily life mainly refers to the culture as an ideology, focusing on the spiritual level of culture. For example, the books we read, our knowledge, upbringing and so on, we call it culture, but this culture is not the same as the concept of culture put forward by anthropologists since 19 century.

In addition, there is a sentence, which can be found in the common definition of culture in popular textbooks: "Culture is the sum of all material wealth and spiritual wealth created by human beings". Although there is nothing wrong with this definition, it is also different from the concept of "culture" understood by modern anthropologists and culturists.

1. From the content point of view, culture is the sum of human activities, processes and achievements in conquering nature, society and human beings themselves, while civilization mainly refers to the essence of cultural achievements.

2. In terms of time, culture has always existed in human existence, and human beings produced primitive culture before civilized society, and civilization is a certain stage of human cultural development.

3. From the form of expression, culture is a dynamic, gradual and uninterrupted development process, while civilization is a relatively stable and static leap-forward development process.

4. Culture is a neutral concept, while civilization is a commendatory term. Materializing human activities, processes and results in the process of human conquest of nature and society is an objective existence, which has both excellent achievements and dross, both favorable and unfavorable factors for human beings. It's all culture. Civilization is related to certain values, which refers to the positive achievements and progress of culture. As a value judgment, it is a concept of praise.
