The development of curriculum culture (DCC) means that the curriculum changes constantly from old quality to new one and the progress of culture. The main aim of the research on DCC is to discover the standards of curriculum culture and to grasp the objective law of it by exploring the evolution process of curriculum culture. The research includes seven parts which have inner connections, such as raising the core problem of DCC; researching on the environment of DCC; analyzing on system construction of curriculum culture; exploring the developments of all types of curriculum cultures; developing the diffusion of the tract of curriculum culture; probing into the transition of the tract of curriculum culture; discussing the objective value and criterion on DCC. This paper is conducted by the dialectical materialism of Marxism in methodology and the concrete methods of culture analysis, history research, and comparative research.Curriculum is a norm culture. Its developments is restricted by the environment of social culture. The curriculum is the culture practice of human. Human plays a dynamic role in DCC, affecting the environment of social culture, making curriculum reform in demands, improving the changes of curriculum culture, and influencing the progress of social culture.The curriculum culture, which is composed of the essences of outlook on curriculum values, curriculum rules, curriculum symbols, curriculum traditions, and curriculum materials as a compound whole is a sophisticate system.

The ancient education of Latin America is the primitive education of Indian, but the modern curriculum culture of Latin America is transformed from Western, being a branch of the Western curriculum culture.The diffusion of tract of curriculum culture is an important form of DCC. Without diffusion of curriculum culture, there is no DCC. The conditions of realizing diffusion of curriculum culture include five aspects: the value of culture innovation, sharing culture, the relation of diffusion, the media of diffusion, and the methods of diffusion. The diffusion of curriculum culture may be divided into two types, namely internal diffusion and external diffusion. The whole tendency of the DCC shows from powerful culture to weak one with contradictory and collision of the two cultures.
