前言

Social progress lies in exchanges, as does the development of cultures as well as personal friendships. It has been proven through world historical practice that the achievement of cultural prosperity and socialprogress in the 21th century depends on mutual understanding and exchange.Thanks to the rapid development of transport and communications, mutual exchanges are becoming increasingly frequent day by day, but at the same time new problems have emerged under new circumstances.Human culture can be divided into two levels. The surface level, or"living culture," which involves all aspects of survival such as eating, drinking and clothing, has been universally propagated. Through fusion, integration and imitation of each other, living culture has played the role of deepening friendship and enhancing mutual understanding among different peoples.The deeper second level of human culture we also need to pay attention to is known as "conceptual culture," exchanges which have also been carried out, but still far from sufficiently. Although also formed over a long period of time through rich historical accumulated development, conceptual culture evolves from the original national traditions, so its nature is more concealed and more profound. Yet, it also allows for concise abstract ways of thinking, more accurate ways of expression and more systematic written records, and can be constantly accumulated, readjusted and improved.
