In the thesis, the author first compares the two types of Wall Culture vertically and horizontally based on evolution of social patterns; then apply induction to summarize the pros and cons of them; fi nally make objective comments on China’s Wall Culture, hoping to raise people’s awareness of cultural innovation.
