"Cultural Consciousness" answers self-awareness and mutual understanding among various cultures and how to achieve harmonious coexistence under the trend of the world's cultural coexistence, conflict, infiltration and blending in the era of globalization.The cultures and conscious thoughts of Chinese and Western and the rich and profound cultural thought of the Marxist theoretical system become the ideological and theoretical wealth of resources of this thesis. Cultural consciousness has existence and value of the theoretical foundation. From the point of Ontology, cultural consciousness is in fact the people's consciousness, self-awareness and is the prerequisite for human development. From the point of value view, the cultural consciousness is the consciousness of value, it is the choice and pursuit of value to human. In general, cultural consciousness is the research about the development of cultural and human, which has important practical significance for the development of social and human. Human development has always been the eternal theme of the times, and cultural consciousness is generated in the process of inquiry of a questioning of human existence in a reasonable and rational human existence.

The type of cultural consciousness is diversity in accordance with the breadth, depth and character, formed by the source.Cultural consciousness is not only a cultural phenomenon with cultural practice, but also is the ideological basis and premise of cultural development. Logical prefiguration of cultural development embeds the objective necessity of the existence cultural consciousness. The survival of specific practices constitutes the reality foundation of cultural consciousness, and in a certain historical period of cultural practical activities reflects the cultural consciousness that can be achieved.

Culture with consciousness, it is always not satisfied with the status quo but always try hard, through self-reflection, self-critical process, to achieve the ideal state of their own development. Therefore, we must grasp the generation of cultural consciousness from the human perceptual activity starting, with the course of human and the object world of conflict and tension, build and change, surpass and bound in the human, social and cultural interaction.Discussion on a theoretical level includes the premise of the analysis of cultural consciousness, philosophy thinking and values of the reflection.
