“文化”一词主要来源于拉丁文“Cultura”,它的主要原意是指耕作、培养、教育等等,是与自然存在的事物相对而言的。例如:野生的禾苗不是文化,经过人工栽培出来的水稻称为文化,天空的雷鸣闪电等自然现象不是文化,而原始人把它们想象为具有人格力量的神灵时便可称为文化现象。今天我们常从考古挖掘中所获得的资料去研究先人们的文明程度。可见,文化是人类创造的一种东西,而不是自然存在的事物。这样看来,文化可说是无所不包,从吃、穿、住、行到家风道德,从风俗习惯到政治 The term “culture” is mainly derived from the Latin “Cultura”. Its main intention is to cultivate, cultivate, educate and so on, in contrast to what is naturally occurring. For example, the wild seedlings are not cultures, the cultivated rice is called culture, and the natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning in the sky are not cultures. When primitive people think of them as gods with personality power, they can be called cultural phenomena. Today we often learn from the information obtained from archaeological excavations to study the civilization of the forerunners. It can be seen that culture is a kind of thing created by mankind, not a thing that exists naturally. In this sense, culture can be described as everything from eating, wearing, living and traveling to the ethos of the family, from customs to politics
