The cultural construction of subjectivity reflects the characteristics of modernity and nationalism in China’s modernization. Modernity is the intrinsic necessity of modernization need to constantly develop and improve. Nationalism as an important and indispensable prerequisite of the modernization, also constantly interact with modernity. The cultural construction of subjectivity as a whole is a combination of these two aspects. The intrinsic quality of culture which has nationality and time force the cultural construction of subjectivity to be the unification of modernity and nationality. Confucianism is a traditional national culture which still affects modern society. On the one hand, Confucianism as a national culture is an important cultural background of the cultural construction of subjectivity, the other hand, Confucianism as the traditional culture is an important cultural resource of the cultural construction of subjectivity. The relationship between Confucianism and the cultural construction of subjectivity is complex and intricate because of its dual role. The cultural construction of subjectivity and a sound can not be separated from Confucianism. The process of development of cultural construction of subjectivity cannot be separated from Confucianism. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the relationship between this two sides and how to have a better incorporation.This thesis which base on the evolution of the relationship between Confucianism and the cultural construction of subjectivity, seen the Confucianism as a union of cultural background of cultural construction of subjectivity and cultural resources.
