Cultural communication, cultural fusion, cultural conflicts, and culturalcolonization are accompanied by the fierce collisions, which tests the cultural identitywhich is the foundation of cultural existence between the different nationalities andcountries.Cultural identity is the process of cultural acceptance, acceptance andconsciously practice. People internalize the outside world through by identifying withthe external cultural and improve the people’s essential strength. meanwhile，according to the identity of culture in practice, people realizing the externalization ofpeople’s essential strength. Cultural identity affects people’s whole ideological system,including the ideological concept, value pursuit and ideal faith, etc. In accordancewith the cultural identity, people established his own spiritual world. The people’sspiritual world will change the outside culture world. Cultural identity contains theprocess of the internalization and externalization.The cultural identity once formed, it will Influence people. For the individual,cultural identity constitutes the individual’s ideological system, guides the individual’svalue judgment and behavior. cultural is the sign of the individual identification,which is the boundary of the individual identity and significance of the coordinates。Cultural is also the standard and basis for the individual seeking similar and be in agroup. For groups, cultural identity is one of the core elements of group formation anda form of group characteristics, cultural identity is the basis of a distinction between"we" and "they", which can strengthen group cohesion, centripetal force and thefunction of guiding the community development direction. For the entire human race,cultural identity is a means of satisfying the needs of the people’s spirit and thehuman’s spirit pursuit, which makes up the human’s spiritual home.Cultural identity is a process of continuous development，the unity of oppositesof the elements of the internal constitutes the dialectical movement of cultural identity,which promotes the cultural identity continues to develop. First of all, from the angleof the object of cultural identity, the standard of cultural connotation and acceptance isthe unity of opposites of a pole and pluralistic. The cultural content, cultural forms and cultural value of Social existence are diverse, but people identify with a kind ofculture in the end. The performances, standards and targets of people’s culturalidentity are diverse, but people eventually choose one. Secondly, from the perspectiveof the subject of cultural identity, cultural identity is the unity of opposites of theindividual and the overall. Cultural identity is the individual’s recognition, acceptanceand practice of culture. Culture is the crystallization of the overall wisdom. Culturalidentity is not only the unity of the individual thoughts and whole wisdom, but alsothe overall fuse the individual. They are contradictory to each other, which promotethe development of cultural identity. Finally, from the perspective of valuerelationship of the cultural identity, cultural identity is the unity of opposites of therealistic need and ideal pursuit. Cultural identity in the first place to meet people realneeds, such as guiding practice and specification group life. But the cultural identityalso reflected the people’s ideal pursue, such as the faith belief, value. Culturalidentity Is a reflection of people’s transcendence。The performance of the unity ofopposites of the cultural identity, a pole and pluralistic, the individual and the overall,the Reality and ideal Constitutes the dialectical movement of cultural identity.Cultural identity continues to develop in the unity of opposites of them.In practice, people’s cultural identity is rooted in the common activities， thecommon pursue of interests，regulations and the ideal value form the root cause of thecommon cultural identity. Once there were problems in common activities, people’scultural identity crisis rises.In the traditional society，the backward production, the clan kinship ties of socialrelations and regional exchanges，which make The cultural identity of people presentthe consistency, integrity and ideal. But they are based on the single culture andbackward form, religious beliefs, which is false. This kind of cultural identity is asimple, mechanical and oppression of human nature.People’s cultural identity progresses with the development of modern society.People’s cultural identity is more scientific and more abundant. People are starting tofocus on the value of the individual and the pursuit and care the reality of life. Butpeople began to change common activities at the same time. With the rationaldevelopment and public authority has been weakened, people began to have doubtsabout the legitimacy of the political; people are more the pursuit of material interestswith the development of the capitalist market economy. Traditional values and moral values are replaced by the concept of material interests. The traditional ideals andbeliefs decline with the emphasis on secular life, material satisfaction. These changeshave led to the emergence of the modern cultural identity crisis. Traditional cultureshocks diverse culture. The unified cultural identity order began to collapse. Peoplelack of a unified cultural order and begin confuse for their own ideas, values andideals. Personality development makes individualism, hedonism, money worship andother phenomena appear, and because of modern production, the so-called personalityis digested by mass consumption, the monotony of the product. People meetstimulating in the production and consumption of substances. It’s the ideal and thereality of homogenization. Ideal faith traditions disappeared instead of the pursuit ofmaterial, the body’s desire to meet and stimulating of low psychological. Culturalidentity crisis caused confusion social order. Exacerbate conflicts between peoplemake desertification of the human spirit, sense of uniqueness and value of the loss ofhuman. People were descending into matter.In the process of modernization China inevitably suffered the crisis of culturalidentity. The value of multiculturalism impacts on core value system. Moral decline,materialistic, spiritual desertification, and loss of faith are becoming more rampant.China’s political activities, economic activities and cultural activities are losing thetraditional identity, traditional cultural values are encountering modern crisis. In orderto solve the current spiritual culture crisis, we need to build with Chinesecharacteristics, Chinese style and cultural identity of vigor Chinese, and ultimatelypromote the development and progress of Chinese society.This paper attempts to theoretically study the theory of cultural identity, clarifythe meaning, function, dialectical picture and practical roots of cultural identity, studythe historical development of cultural identity from the practice, comb historical yformation, the development of modern and contemporary crisis of cultural identity,and seriously think and put forward own views of cultural identity. Researching on thedevelopment of cultural identity is endless. I hope this can provide an idea of thetheoretical study of the current cultural. |
