Now I am working on the global coordinate. And I find that though the transformation matrix can work well in pasting virtual objects, I don't know what is the detail meaning of the transformation matrix and the transformation matrix from the marker coordinate to global coordinate. Thank you!

The transformation matrix specifies the relationship between the marker and the camera. It is just the top 3 rows of a 4 by 4 homogenous coordinate transformation matrix as used by OpenGL. As this is not really an ARToolKit related question, I suggest you read a book on how OpenGL deals with transformations.. the OpenGL Programming Guide (The so-called "red book") is a good place to start.
