Abstract

Cultural evolvement in the Chinese context shares some commonality with other countries, such as the influence of informatization and globalization, under which capitalism and technology has become two main principles organizing social life. Meanwhile, it has its own unique characteristics derived from the cultural variety of vast territory and large population, one-child policy used to control the population and rapid revolution, development and correction in this country. All these factors have converged to form a chaotic state in the transition of cultural evolvement. Under the background of radical social transformation, neither traditional Chinese cultural systems nor Western values can be used as ready-made standards for people to understand their social life practice. New practice calls for new values to understand itself and the re-constructing process of value systems can present itself as disorder to some extent. In our practice, we have observed some special problems, which deserve to be further discussed.
