By the end of the 20th century, men have entered the era of digitalization. As the leading trend of contemporary social development in China, digitization has rendered Chinese traditional humanity spirits awkward and helpless, resulting in profound revolutions in various aspects in China while causing Chinese humanity spirits in default at the same time. Therefore, men of insights in all circles in China are exploring the solutions hoping to overcome negative influences caused by digitization on human beings and return its original function of benefiting mankind. As Edward Turner once said, if we can learn from revenge effects, we won't say no to technology but try to improve it. Fundamentally speaking, a series of negative effects brought by digitization are caused by lack of humanity spirits in highly developed modern science and technology. Therefore, it is a necessity to investigate and study humanity spirits in the background of digitization, restricting, limiting and guiding its development. Only when good humanity spirits are integrated into digitized network can we eliminate or relieve the crux of present Chinese humanity spirits, coordinating relations between men, and regulating their behaviors to promote normal development of the digitized society. Therefore, this dissertation, with digitization as its background, presents a realistic interpretation of Chinese humanity spirits in hope of promoting its harmonious development.Based on the above thoughts, the dissertation, first of all, examines digitization and its technological limitations, classifying its development into historical stages, analyzing its concepts, processes of development as well as limitations in the era, and considering digitization technology as the background and necessary conditions for development in present age. At the same time, the digitization spaces created by digitization technology also has its historical and present limitations.In the second place, the dissertation traces the coherence in development of humanity spirits in both China and western countries, and explores its state of development with the focus laid on comparing the evolutions and main features of humanity spirits in China and the western world, claiming that conflicting and fragmentary humanity is prevalent in the west, which is unable to lead humanity spirits construction of the present day, while Chinese traditional humanity spirits has obvious characteristics of Asian production, which combines with feudal dictatorship and betrays and counteracts with the inside information of humanity spirits at the same time.Next, based on what is given above, detailed analyses of the interactive development between technology and humanity spirits are given with the historical development of technology as the main line. The interactive relation between technology and the development of Chinese humanity spirits is pointed out with a reasonable foundation set and digitization technology background laid. Then further analyses of the harmonious development of Chinese humanity spirits are given from the dimensions of significance, theory and reality.In the end, four paths for the harmonious development of Chinese humanity spirits are given on basis of analysis of the principles for the harmonious development of Chinese humanity spirits in the era of digitization technology and its inspirations from Confucianism.
