在以洱海地区为中心的洱海区域文化是组成云南四大文化区域的重要部分。它的历史文化较为厚重，早在旧石器时期这里就有人类繁衍生息，洱海区域是云南青铜文化的起点，为云南古代文明发祥地之一。唐宋时期，大理一度成为云南政治、经济、文化的中心。由于三条古驿道在此交汇，它与东南亚、南亚各国在政治、军事、经济、文化的交往频繁。各种文化相互影响、交汇、融合出极具特色的地域文化。 

The Erhai Lake area culture is an essential component of the Four Major Yunnan Cultures.  Dali’s history and culture are comparatively long and rich.  Dated as far back as the Paleolithic period, Dali already had human beings lived and multiplied here.  The Erhai Lake area is the origin of the Yunnan Bronze Culture and is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization of Yunnan . During the Tang and Song dynasties, Dali was the center of politics, economy and culture of Yunnan . Three ancient post roads converged here, hence Dali interacted densely and frequently with some countries in politics, military affairs, economy and culture.  Intercultural converging ,integration led to very rich and unique regional culture in Dali.

以苍山洱海、风花雪月的独特风姿为依托，大理孕育了丰富多彩的民族文化：既有内涵十分厚重以南诏、大理国为主的历史文化；也有儒、释、道融为一体的本主文化；既有与自然和谐统一的民居建筑文化和绚丽多彩的服饰文化；也有体现生活和与自然和谐统一的渔文化；既有以佛教题材为主的石刻艺术和绘画艺术文化；也有体现人生哲理的茶文化和自然天成的石文化等等。

Blessed with the natural charm and beauty of Mt. Cangshan and the Erhai Lake , and distinctive wind , various flowers, snowy landscape and bright moonlight,  Dali has fostered various forms of cultures: historical culture that was formed during the Nanzhao State and Dali State periods, that is rich in content; the local deity culture that integrates Confucianism , Buddhism and Taoism; residence building culture that stresses the harmony between nature and people;  clothes and ornaments culture , that is strong in function and fishing culture that embodies the harmony between life and nature; stone inscription art and drawing art culture, that features Buddhism as subject matters; tea culture that embodies life philosophy; stone culture that is natural in form.
