According to more and more frequent communication between Myanmar and China, there is increasing number of Myanmar people leaning Chinese. Teach and spread Chinese in Myanmar has become an important part of Chinese international spread. As we know, language is the vehicle and container of cultural information. Culture is the fundamental element of language. Moreover, language is both a part of culture and a demonstrative form of culture. Language and culture are inseparable. At the same time, the vocabulary is the most basic elements of language and also can reflect a nation's cultural background knowledge of the language system, especially is cultural words. Learners do not understand the cultural background knowledge of the target language, thus, the communication conflicts in intercultural communication often occur. Learning the cultural words is especially important in the basic stages of learning as the purposes of increasing our vocabulary and improving communicative competence.Now, more and more Chinese teachers in Myanmar have noticed the influence of the cultural background knowledge on language teaching. They think the language and culture teaching must combine and teachers start from the initial stage should focus on the teaching of the cultural words in Chinese as a foreign language teaching.
