Cultural soft power has become an important component of overall national power and one of the driving forces of social development in an era of enhancing globalization. Many countries are endeavored to improve their cultural soft power as well as the economic, scientific and technological, and military strength. More and more scholars at home and abroad are concerned with the study of cultural soft power issues.Cultural soft power is an objective force which comes from the non-mandatory use of cultural resources by subjects to affect objects. Material production is the material base of the cultural soft power. Spirit production can enlarge cultural soft power resources and provide guidance to the development of subjects and objects. Science and technology is the technological basis of cultural soft power. Ideology lies in the core level of cultural soft power, exercising controlling roles over cultural soft powers. Cultural soft power is produced in the process of interaction between subjects and objects on the basis of social productivity.Study on the cultural soft power from a historical view can contribute to upholding and enriching related Marxism principles. Cultural soft power provide new ideas about "history joint forces" and "the social organism theory", making us rediscover some of the issues of them and give them new connotation and distinct characteristics of the times. Culture soft power is an important force for social development as well as other forces and highlights the role of culture in the process of social development. Cultural soft power also highlights the mutual interaction and penetration between various components in social organism. This illustrates that only place culture soft power in the process of interaction and penetration between various elements of the organism, can we fully, correctly understand and grasp the essence of culture soft power and its development. To that end, we have to reject cultural determinism.Nowdays, the nations that occupy the commanding height of cultural development would have strong cultural soft power and be able to gain the initiative in the fierce international competition. Therefore, we must take advantages and learn lessons from developed countries and China's historical cultural evolution experience and take corresponding countermeasures to improve our cultural soft power according China's current situation, to promote the construction of socialist harmonious society, and to enhance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
