The integration of science and humanity is a hot topic, whether in the education system, social issues or not. It is related to the training of the outstanding scientist, innovation of cultural achievements, all kinds of engineering safety, the relationship between humankind and nature, as well as group events and so on. Academic analysis on the topic inclined to compare humanity and science in a static surface, some scholars related to the practice areas, but all lack of reflection with philosophical depth, and from the comparison of Western philosophy, Western scientific and Chinese philosophy,Chinese science, and it is rare to build the theoretical framework.Philosophy should be concerned about the real, deal with real problems, come from reality and to reality, which is the basic concern of this article, namely from the current development of domestic philosophy status quo, the trait of confrontation status quo of domestic science and humanity to bring forward the theory conception, and finally appeal the theory turn to the practical level, thereby proposing solutions for development of philosophy, and the confrontation of science and humanity in the aspect of practice. Philosophy is not only exquisite literally closely argued theoretical system, but also the self-cultivation on the grounds of obliterate of subject and object which relates to the awareness of the world behind its literal perception. So raising the Chinese and the Western at the same time has brought us a big philosophical perspective, in this perspective to reflect on philosophy, reflect on science and humanities will undoubtedly be more profound and comprehensive.On the research methods, in order to know all kinds of situations, this paper basically uses the case and measurement methods (including bibliometrics), closely linked to reality. On the basis of analysis of reality, this paper adopts varying methods of documental, comparative, historic, etc. to characteristics humanities and science, finally to proposed Chuang-Xue.This article tried to explain and demonstrate the following topics:1. It is hardly to say that the overall development of contemporary Chinese philosophy discipline has produced a new paradigm which can reflect the characteristics of the times and to deal with various philosophical problems, namely we lack of a master. Philosophers who are proficient to do some sort of historical analysis on a knowledge point which continuing the tradition of injection for thousands of years, and proficient to introduce foreign works which lack of our own theory foundation to concern these exotic, which is relate to the current inbreeding in philosophical discipline talents, do not pay a attention to interdisciplinary training and other factors, and the deep reason is the lack of a sense of innovation. This can be seen from the hundred NEDD analysis.2. There is almost no contemporary Chinese philosophy explained and respond to the current situation of confrontation between Chinese humanities and science. Science are absolutely dominant and domineering in almost all aspects of science policy, and traditional humanities have declined."Suppressing" the arrogant science, and demonstrating the humanities should become one of the focus points in new philosophy building. And the philosophy of science which is the most appropriate to communicate the two can hardly bear the heavy responsibility no matter in the aspect of its theory or in the aspect of its research community, which can be seen from our analysis on the research community of philosophy of science.3. Li-Xue refers not only to the Western natural sciences, but also to a broader understanding, such as Chinese Li-Xue—Investigate Things and Extend Knowledge study, both of them tend to the Refining of Things, the former is characterized Things Study, the later is characterized Self Study, and Investigate Things and Extend Knowledge study is appeared to have the natural advantage in the communication of sciences and humanities, such as the mode named midphysics (形而中)4. Xin-Xue Serves the Refining of Self, it appears as the study of tendency nature in China, and psychology in the west, the former is characterized Self Study, and the latter is characterized Things Study. The former focuses on accurate empirical analysis of human body and the speakable experiment on the function, the latter focuses on the overall experience of its knowledge, sensibility, sense, and behaviour.5. There are two dimensions of creation, the Refining of Self and the Refining od things. So Chuang-Xue can integrate Li-Xue and Xin-Xue within and outside, dialectical materialism leads to the Refining of Things, spiritual matter leads to the Refining of Self, Learn the nature and attain mental ideal(知本达至) is up to blend two of them. Chuang-Xue is not to creation studies in China, but China’s creation studies, which has a series of unique feature as "the unity of knowing and doing","settle down and get on with one’s pursuit", self-cultivation, generating, etc.. It is a viable idea to construct the philosophy of science with distinctive self-cultivation feature under the perspective of Chuang-Xue, we call it philosophy of self-cultivation science. 6. It does not becomes the power to reform the society, until Chuang-Xue could be understood by everyone. In some sense the open University of Chinese Culture gives example to us; in the realm of curricula education, we should pay attention to the " Introduction to Chinese Culture" and Politics-ideology teaching to propagate Chuang-Xue; academic pursuit should stress creation, such as the essence of the Chinese ancient culture and the social reality in China, so the intellectuals must blend in social, also interdisciplinary research should be strengthened.In short, we cannot satisfy with the old paradigm of the philosophy,and we should strive to transform the paradigm of traditional Chinese metaphysics to Archimedean point of new philosophy, based on the local characteristics to establish the Chinese discourse system.
