Spiritual belief is a kind of belief which arose from North America in the last century.It has formed a certain scale in China and has gradually expanded in recent years.Spiritual belief in China is a kind of social practice,which is produced under the background of modernity,which is based on spirituality and spirituality,or is considered to be an ideological trend with a religious background.In the contect of globalization and the clash of eastern and western cultures,this paper investigates and analyzes the spiritual belief in China,and tries to grasp the new phenomenon of belief in order to understand the dynamic relationship between religion and the contemporary society.Using the research methods of religious sociology and related theories,this paper discusses the following questions on the basis of comparing spiritual belief with the new religion and the traditional religion from the angle of analysis and comparative essays: first of all,the concept of spirituality is comprehensively discussed,the spiritual belief is defined,and the subjects of the research subject are determined with the domestic pursuit of spirituality and the series of practical activities based on the social background of combing and restoring the spiritual belief.Next,with data,charts,descriptions and other methods,the paper explores the community's characters such as practicality,nationality,desalination sect and personality of God,and the pursuit of secular life.Then,starting from the external cause of the rise of spiritual belief,this papers studies the social environment of local spiritual belief by analyzing the changes of modern people's psychological states and emotion,excavating the condition of the rise of spiritual belief under the change of modern society,which is caused by the change between individual and social relations.Finally,starting from the logical construction of spiritual belief,this paper analyzes the internal causes of its rise from the aspects of existence forms,organization forms,communication modes,intentions and main thoughts.It probes into the types of spiritualbelief in China,compares it with traditional religion and new religion,and makes clear the development path of spiritual belief.It is thought that the Western spiritual belief itself can be regarded as a critique of materialism.The domestic spiritual belief is rooted in the real society,integrates with Chinese traditional culture thoughts,emphasizes life,the improvement of life while criticizing the society,and enriches the spiritual world of believers.This is related to the traditional Chinese culture of being practical,which is the unique charm of our spiritual belief and the concrete manifestation of the value of Oriental culture in this century.At the same time,the spiritual belief is the young,and the religious boundary is vague,so there are many problems in the current development process,and lacking due attention and guidance.
