Abstract

The term "culture" originates from "The Book of Changes". Western culture is derived from the Latin word "Culture," originally referring to practices such as farming, dwelling, and training, among others. British cultural scholar E. Tylor defined "culture" in "Primitive Culture" as a complex group of abilities and habits acquired by any member that includes knowledge, beliefs, morals, and customs. In the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, "culture" can be extended to the understanding of "culture" in "Primitive Culture." The culture of teaching Chinese as a foreign language encompasses the knowledge, beliefs, and morals of both parties. This article discusses "cultural language loss" and "bilingualism," exploring strategies for the development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
