Western discussion on "culture". Westerners discuss "culture" later than China. In English, the word "culture" comes from Latin words such as "colo", "cultus" and "cultum" and contains the meaning of "cultivation, domestication and cultivation". Therefore, the original meaning of "culture" in English refers to the domestication and cultivation of wild animals and plants in nature through manual labor, so that they can become varieties that meet human needs. Later, with the continuous use of the word "culture" in practice, its meaning has been expanding, and its objective object has gradually expanded from the initial care and domestication of nature itself to the education, cultivation and cultivation of people's own instinctive state, as well as the cultivation and care activities of interpersonal relationships. The word "culture" has become a widely accepted term. From the middle of19th century to modern times, scholars have the following representative views on the meaning of "culture":

Taylor: The so-called culture or civilization is a composite whole including knowledge, belief, art, morality, law, habits and other abilities and habits acquired by human beings as members of society.

Crockhon: Of course, the word culture used by American anthropologists is a term, and it must not be confused with common language and limited concepts in history and literature. The definition of this anthropological term refers to those aspects created by people in the whole human environment, including tangible and intangible. The so-called "one culture" refers to the unique lifestyle of a certain human group and their whole set of "lifestyles".

Malinowski: Culture includes a set of tools and a set of customs-human or spiritual characteristics, which directly or indirectly meet human needs.
