Edward Burnett Tylor,a British anthropologists,has made a classic definition of conceptof culture. But more similar definition has not build a clear image for we that people havegiven up to make a clear definition now. This paper argues that the complexity of the culturalconcept derived from the complexity of its own alleged object that is human achievements.Similarly, this complexity is also demonstrated the rich of human creativity. On the otherhand, the complexity of the cultural concept also derived from the different of humanperspective. For example, in the different perspective of anthropology and philosophy, theconcept of culture respectively natively are potential “segregation" and "integration" attribute.Jumping out of the concept of culture, we observe and analyze the things which werecalled “culture”,and point out that " the human were created by the culture their own created“,namely standing in front and behind of the culture both is " human". Human are dividedinto different people because they created different culture and were creating by differentculture. This paper also point out human subjectivity in the human and culture relationship--human create culture because own survival needs, and judge the superior and inferior ofculture around him because the superior and inferior of human character. Culture werecreated by human and serve human, so culture should be doubted, criticized and sublatedbased on this reason that culture is derived from the human survival and development needs.
