民间文化是显示一个国家特色的地方，我国有56个民族，因此民间文化也非常丰富多彩，让我们一起去下面的文章欣赏一下吧~
A folk culture is a small isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a GREat variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central religious concept of Demut 'humility', clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order. By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, 'popular' may be viewed as clearly different from 'folk'. The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

作文地带知识拓展:

• 文化（Culture），广义指人类在社会实践过程中所获得的物质、精神的生产能力和创造的物质、精神财富的总和。狭义指精神生产能力和精神产品，包括一切社会意识形式：自然科学、技术科学和社会意识形态。文化是一种社会现象。它是由人类长期创造形成的产物，同时又是一种历史现象，是人类社会与历史的积淀物。确切地说，文化是凝结在物质之中又游离于物质之外的，能够被传承和传播的国家或民族的思维方式、价值观念、生活方式、行为规范、科学技术等，它是人类相互之间进行交流的普遍认可的一种能够传承的意识形态，是对客观世界感性上的知识与经验的升华。
