Every country possesses its own culture, which is known as culture endowment. Culture endowment is a sort of important production factor. Based on dualism philosophy, culture endowment, as a type of production factor, is put into the category of science and technology and the category of values. The analysis of culture endowment effect in international trade is to introduce culture endowment, as an inherent variable, to the function of international trade. Modern culture endowment is an innovative function.Commodities are the substantial form that indicates culture endowment' existing. Cultural property of commodities is an attribute that every culture endowment relating to commodities production coagulates in commodities. Mankind's laboring behaviors, as a main method, endow commodities with cultural property. Of course, so do other commercial behaviors, such as exchange, distribution, and consumption. Other countries can only imitate, and not reproduce cultural property of commodities.Culture endowment' advantages make a premise for comparative advantage of international trade. Comparative advantage of international trade is a three-dimension structure, that is to say, an ultimate coagulation of such three elements as structural advantages of national production factors, structural advantages of trade commodities, consistency that exported commodities are in line with other nations' consumption structure. Such three elements are deeply rooted in and affected by culture endowment, and depend on the sustainable development of culture endowment' advantages. Against the background of economic globalization, nations' culture endowment' differences, cultural shocks and pools, and customers' individual psychological characteristics, culture endowment play a role by means of their international intercommunion, their sameness inclination, their wave development as well as their mutual substitutions, and in turn determine comparative advantage of international trade.Culture endowment' differences are a fundamental drive for international trade. Thus the cultural drive for international trade eternally exists due to non-repeatability of commodity cultural property. It is the culture guide mechanism based on culture demand that determines the direction of cultural drive for world trade. As a result, thisleads to the sameness inclination of culture endowment in every country. Commerce opportunities of international trade subsequently emerge in the course of sameness inclination of culture endowment.International trade pattern refers to comparison of international trade advantages between every country. International trade pattern has a vicissitude consistent with nations' cultures. The uniform vicissitudes result from such internal element as knowledge gains, and take the substantial form of transfer of world center of science and technology. Transfer of world center of science and technology means transfer of world center of international trade, namely world trade pattern's vicissitude. If one country plans to enhance comparative advantage of its international trade, then its government must grasp the connotation of law of culture endowment' wave development, and make long-term economic plans and development strategies to nurture its culture endowment' innovations and advances as well as governmental policies and tactics to favor sustainable development of its international competitive advantages...
