“文化”是个人、民族或种族在一定的自然环境和社会生活的过程中,累积起来的精神活动的总和。“文化传统”则是创造文化的个人、民族或种族的后代子孙,有选择地继承、保留下来的有效成分。因而可以说,孕育特定文化的空间越广阔,时间越漫长,这种文化就越优秀,其创造和继承者的力量就越强大。 “Culture” is the sum of mental activities that individuals, nations or races accumulate in certain natural environments and social life. “Cultural traditions” are the active ingredients that are selectively inherited and preserved by the descendants of individuals, nations or ethnic groups that create the culture. Therefore, it can be said that the broader the space for conceiving a particular culture, the longer the culture will be and the stronger the culture of creation and successor will be.
