This subject is to research whether the English majors know more about their traditional culture. It analyses the deficiency of Chinese traditional culture in English Majors that can improve and change our methods of English learning. Researching it can combine English and Chinese traditional culture well and it can give some constructive and useful suggestions in learning English and intercultural communication. To the English Majors, many times we pay more attention to their English study so that we neglect their study of traditional culture. We can balance this situation after studying it and integrate Chinese traditional culture into English study.
