traditional culture
Inherited social practices
Traditional culture refers to customs, beliefs, practices, and arts passed down through generations within a community or society.
It encompasses the accumulated wisdom, rituals, stories, music, crafts, and social norms that define a group's identity and heritage.
The phrase often carries positive connotations of authenticity and continuity: They work to preserve traditional culture against modernization.
It can also appear in debates about change versus preservation: Traditional culture clashes with contemporary values.
