摘　　要：文化的定义是长期困扰文化学界的难题之一,近年来信息学界、生物学界和文化学界的一些学者开始采用信息概念来界定文化并日益受到关注。文化的信息定义并不能为"什么是文化"或"文化是什么"给出一个终极答案,但它能够基于信息的流动而把精神文化、行为文化、物质文化与制度文化整合为一个文化理论分类的动态模型,并为以探究各种具体文化现象科学规律为己任的各门社会科学提供有益启示。The definition of culture is one of puzzles that have permanently haunted the culturological circles for a long time, and in recent years, some scholars of informatics, biology and culturology have adopted the concept of information to define culture, which is being caused more and more attention. Although the informational definition of culture cannot give an ultimate answer for ＂what it is culture＂ or ＂what culture is like＂, by the way of information flow, it can incorporate spiritu- al culture, behavioral culture, material culture and institutional culture into a dynamic model for the theoretical category of culture, and can offer fruitful revelations for many social sciences whose duties are to explore the scientific laws of different kinds of specific cultural phenomena.
