Cultural patterns are one of the topics in the study of sociology and cultural anthropology. It is divided into special texts.

There are two types of chemical patterns and universal cultural patterns.

A special DAO culture model refers to the unique cultural system of each nation or country. It is a distinctive cultural system composed of the organic combination of various cultural characteristics and cultural clusters. There are different cultures between nations or countries, that is, different cultural patterns.

For example, the economy dominated by agriculture, the large rural population, the strong family concept, the importance of human ethics, and the worship of ancestors and traditional authorities have formed a traditional Chinese cultural model. The capitalist economy with developed industry and commerce, dominated by urban life, individualism, and the ** system, are interconnected to form the cultural model of the United States. Each cultural model must have its own consistency, otherwise it is impossible for various cultural characteristics and cultural clusters to be combined to form a unique cultural model. Most scholars believe that the reason for this consistency is a uniform standard of social values, while others believe that it is a potential desire shared by people in a society.

The universal cultural model refers to the fact that all cultures are made up of different parts, and this cultural structure is applicable to the culture of any people. According to the American anthropologist C Wisler, the universal cultural pattern consists of the following 9 parts: language; material qualities; Fine arts; Mythology and scientific knowledge; religious practices; family and social institutions; Property; ⑧**；War.
