Before the nineteenth century, culture more than often was described as a kind of phenomenon, especially art, literature, architecture and thought. With the transformations in social conditions and ways of lives, particularly after the industrial revolution, the modern meaning of culture is different; instead of a kind of phenomena, now it's seen as a kind of objects. Rather than recording "artistic achievements" and "the ideal evolution," now culture explores changes in the society, economy, politics and lives as well as the consequent challenges and reactions. Culture is not established; it is always on the way of being established. As part of the Western "study of culture", "culture study" develops from the general discussion about culture into a disciplinary discourse, in other words, including human thought, social actions, the contact with alien cultures, the structure of economic production, down to the contemporary culture study. It has to be noted that this culture study is the reflection and criticism by the New Left scholars in the sixties about the political and social crises in Britain and creates a new trend of culture study.
