The invention belongs to the technical field of cell culture in vitro and particularly relates to a glycyrrhiza polysaccharide-containing and animal origin-free low protein culture medium. The culture medium is prepared from the following components: glycyrrhiza polysaccharide, glucose, soybean hydrolysate, putrescine, spermine, ornithine, sodium pyruvate, amino acid, biotin, vitamin D, folic acid, ferrous sulfate, ferric nitrate, EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid).2Na, cholamine, glycerinum, oleum morrhuae, cholesterol, linoleic acid, thymidine, hypoxanthine, hydrocortisone, sodium selenite, tocopherol, sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, disodium hydrogen phosphate, zinc sulfate and copper sulfate. The culture medium disclosed by the invention comprises added glycyrrhiza polysaccharide, and does not contain any added supplementary animal origin protein and/or recombinant animal protein; rapid proliferation of cells can be realized, and the expression ability of the cells is effectively improved.
