Abstract: In the Zhujiang River Delta,the origins and propagation of different kinds of culture have close relations to its climatic change, especially to its sea-land change in Holocene. These relationships are shown in three respects.-(1)Different kinds of culture such as fishing-gathering culture,hunting-gathering culture,horticultural culture and rice-growing culture,show the environmental charac-teristics at that time. The environmental change resulted in the cultural evolution.(2)The rise of horticultural culture and rice-growing culture had different cultural ecological factors, and they were not a successive developing process.(3)The environmental change promoted the propagation of the late primitive cul-ture and the rice-growing culture,and the formation of the late primitive cultural district and the rice-growing cultural district. Although these two cultural districts had different characteristics since they were in different periods, they had one common ground, i. e. they were all hydrophilous culture of the tropics and the subtropics.
