前言

　　What is culture? Is it characterized by art or literature? Does it includeactions， feelings or thoughts? Is it ideas， objectives or ways? What about beliefsor values， or customs or tradition? Is it something as simple as a field of activityor as complex as a never-ending experiment?　　Culture is all of these， but it is true that it cannot be truly defined by a singlestroke of words. In everyday conversation， the word "culture" might .refer tosuch fields as literature， art， or music; yet scientists who study culture see it assomething more complex， a way of life as well as acting， feelings， and thinking.And even within these "definitions" of culture there are different views on whatexactly culture is.　　So what exactly is culture? The answer depends on you. However， it is notwhat culture is that makes it so important and fascinating; it is what it means andwhat it represents. A culture defines and sets something apart from everythingelse. It makes something unique and therefore meaningful， not only to itself butalso to the diversity of the world. A culture brings awe and inspiration as well asinterest and curiosity.　　For thousands of years， the Culture of China has attracted many people fromall over the world， being so unique， elegant and inspiring. The Chinese culture，a culture that has evolved for thousands and thousands of years， contains rarebeauty and enchantment with history. It has drawn so much interest that it isintegrating with other cultures and has played an important role in world society，and in China itself.
