How to realize the cultural factors of Chinese traditional political and its influences and enlightenment to the contemporary era has been one of the most important issues with great concern of the academic community. Many researchers have discussed it from different aspects, but its systematicness and normalization is still not enough. This paper takes the Chinese traditional political as the research object, applying the basic principles and methodology of Marxism, especially the cultural critical theory of Marxism, taking deep interpretation of a cultural perspective to sum up our Chinese traditional political conflicts and analyze its origin. Through the cultural criticism and inheritance, we can get a further objective understanding of the generation, the development and the characteristics of Chinese traditional political. At the same time of discussing the existing historical inevitability and rationality this paper also reveals its historical limitation profoundly. The main content of the article is divided into six parts:The first theme is about Chinese "grand unification" political structure in the formation of the geographical environment. It analyzes a variety of geographical conditions conducive to uniform, that is, the distribution of hills and plains and the unique political function of the North China Plain. It also analyzes regional differences and inconvenient traffic caused by varied landforms, which are not conducive to uniform. It discusses political domination in strengthening natural differences and the historical inevitability of monarchy, that is, the adaptation of geographical environment to "grand unification" politics and the strengthening force of ethnic wars to it.The theme of the second part is the culture of Chinese traditional blood patriarchal clan. It analyze from the formation of the blood patriarchal clan namely the country politics and the unity of blood culture, from the unification of blood patriarchal clan and autocracy, from the basic feature of blood culture namely the typical of blood patriarchal clan culture, from the mix of the relationship between the blood patriarchal clan and politics and the lasting effect of blood patriarchal clan. It pays more attention to combine the unification between the political organization and clan organization, the unification between monarchy domination and blood domination and the unification between the concept of country politics and the concept of clan blood. It tells them briefly and state the role blood patriarchal clan plays in the traditional rule namely the influence the patriarchal clan system in the early country structure the weaken impact of the blood patriarchal clan and the new change of absolute monarchy.Let us regard the culture of Chinese traditional politics as the third theme, and analyze it from the forming of social standard culture which can also be called the forming of social standard culture system, the value of the target of the social standard culture system, and the basic characteristics of social standard culture, that is, obligations based one-way and norm nature of the role-based. It discourses the effects of social standard culture to Chinese traditional politics, including the forming of the obligation-based culture system, the construction of "ceremony" voluntary system of norms, and shows the cultural characteristics of the role-based.Part IV focused on China's traditional political culture, it is a comprehensive analysis of the cultural symbols, political symbols and ideological symbol-a political myth, for example, the architectural symbol-when analyze Palace, we discuss the impact of the cultural symbols of China's traditional political functions of political symbols, the functions of political myth, ritual etiquette of the function, the function of the palace building and described the four superimposed to generate a new concept, the formation of the invisible soft obey power and accomplish the same or similar political function to clear the authority of the imperial power.PartV takes the ethical culture of Chinese traditional politics as the theme, we can analyze it from these following aspects:the formation of ethics, that is, the formation of organization of culture constraining politics; the basic characteristics of the ethical culture, that is, the agreement of the ethical culture and Confucianism; and the close combination of the ethical culture and political rights. It expounds the influence of the ethical culture on the Chinese traditional politics, that is, the restraint of ethical culture upon political organization and monarchical power, and the effect of ethical culture on the authoritarian politics.Part VI takes the Sage politics culture of Chinese traditional politics as the theme, we expound the external rationality of the Sage-inner and Monarchy-outer political culture, that is, the power of the Monarchy and the duty of the Sage, the mortal of the Sage and the power of the Monarchy, and the feats of the Monarchy and the mortal of the Sage. As a result, we reveal the inner contradictions of the Sage-inner and Monarchy-outer political culture, that is, the illustration of the reality of the combination of the Sage of the Monarchy, the hypocrisy and the counter-culture of the Sage-inner and Monarchy-outer political culture.Cultural criticism is to cultural heritage. Cultural critique of Marxism chose the value of standards and basic principles should be the "essence, to its dregs. Indeed, the cultural work in China's revolution, construction, reform and various historical periods have played an irreplaceable role, we are not old-fashioned retro, do not advocate the use of traditional political culture to guide the modernization. From a cultural perspective profoundly expounded China's traditional political and historical limitations and the significance of the political development road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, in order to further clarify contemporary China has chosen the path of development suited to their own national conditions, to build the history and reality, domestic and foreign, traditional modern national culture values and objective selection.
