To individuals, it is the mental attribution of settling down; to nations, it is the power source of continuing and developing national culture. Under the background of modernization, globalization, marketization, and informationization rapidly developping, and in the nowadays which the society filling with contradictions between tradition and modern, moral and interest, spiritual and material, multiple and unitary, to build and hold the spiritual home is particularly necessary and urgent.The human theory of Karl Marx provides a theoretical basis for understanding spiritual home on two levels of Existential Theory and Value Theory. The reflection on spiritual home is the fundamental reflection of human nature; the concern on situation of spiritual home is the concern on human's existence and value. On the view of Marxist existence theory, the practice is the fundamental existence form of human being. At the same time, people exist in community and beyond. A person can not separate from social group. Human being and nations live beyond because of ideal. The way of existance makes the spiritual home construction both personal and national necessity and meaningful. People have spiritual needs; the construction of spiritual home reflects an intention of people showing their value in order to meet spiritual needs.Spiritual home is not an air pavilion; it is produced in people's social life practice, it is the resault in the dual role of objective and subjective construct together. According to the differences of subjects, spiritual home is divided into individual and group. They promote aeach other and complement each other.
