In nineteenth Century,Simmel expounded a unique "economic culture" proposition.Simmel does not deny the impact of monetary economy on social development,but compared to other scholars,Simmel is more concerned with the social and cultural effects of the monetary economy and the life experience of people in the monetary and economic world.The relationship between subjective and objective culture is an important factor for Simmel to examine the urban cultural situation.Money economy makes money from tools to ends,creating a trend of specialized production and individuation,which indirectly leads to the rapid development of cultural objectification.But the individual is hard to absorb,but life is fragmented by the gradually objectified culture.After the objective culture deviates from the objective and objective harmony and unity,it accelerates the establishment of a huge cultural machine at the level of urban culture.People are enveloped in the sense of money and boredom in life,and feel suffocated and helpless.The asymmetry of subjective and objective culture is increasingly obvious,forming the urban cultural state of "cultural tragedy".Germany in nineteenth Century is similar to the urban cultural crisis in China in twenty-first Century.The urban cultural thought of Simmel is of profound practical significance to the urban cultural crisis in China.But China's own cultural uniqueness and the uniqueness of the times are unpredictable by Simmel's plan.Therefore,the construction of urban culture in China must consider Simmel's ideological value from the perspective of contemporary Chinese society.The goal of urban culture construction is to change the confrontation between subjective and objective culture and realize the harmony between subjective and objective culture.On the one hand,we should give full play to the advantages of improving the objective culture through science and technology,satisfy the objective cultural gains of social equity,and enhance the efficiency of people's use of objective culture.On the other hand,Chinese society should promote the subjective cultural conservation of the individual more,inherit the excellent traditional culture and develop the lifelong education,and improve the adaptability of the subjective culture.
