The relationship between culture and literature refers to the influence of culture on literature and the effect of literature on culture. Culture is an important part of the development of human society. It includes the history, traditions, values, beliefs, customs and other aspects of human society. On the other hand, literature was an art form that expressed human thoughts, emotions, experiences, and other cultural activities in the form of words. Culture and literature were closely related. The creation and spread of literature need to rely on a specific cultural environment, and the development and evolution of literature are also affected by culture. For example, people in different cultural backgrounds have different ways and styles of understanding and expressing love, life, society and other topics. These different cultures and styles will also affect the creation and spread of literary works. Literature could also be used as a carrier of culture to convey and express specific cultural values and concepts through the form and content of literary works. For example, some literary works reflected the cultural style and values of a certain period or showed the characteristics and style of a certain cultural group by describing the story of a certain character. The relationship between culture and literature is mutual, influencing and promoting. As an art form, literature not only reflects the cultural needs and values of human beings, but also shapes and reflects the cultural forms and concepts of human beings to a certain extent. Therefore, the study and understanding of literature also needed to be combined with the specific cultural environment and social background to better reveal the relationship between culture and literature.
