In modern society, as the highly flourishing of nationality and material created by rationalism, which made people enjoy civilization's great achievement, at the same time had to be suffered from the crisis of modernity, such as mental dissociation, decay of morals and lose of soul. The conflict of spirit and the difficult morality problem brought modern people into mental disorder generally. How to save the mental disorder of modern people, find the solutions to the separation problem between morality and personality, and seek back the lost happiness. Carl. Gustav. Jung, as an Analytical psychologist, what could be relying on to shoulder great responsibility of delivering people from modern crisis? He considered that it was not a skill problem but a moral problem to cure mental disorder. What's the morality integration? It was a viewpoint on morality to support the goodness integrating the evil instead of inhibiting, advocate the goodness to reorganize and consolidate the evil, and transform the evil's destructive power to creativity of life, then to get harmonious on morality and soul finally by take advantage of the third stand of "union of the opposites". The thought of morality integration was an ideological system on morality psychology of morality integration proposed by C. G. Jung from the standpoint of postmodernism, and according to modernity crisis of split personality and moral depravity, for the purpose of achieving integration from dissociation.This paper consists of three parts:First, the 1st chapters was the introduction to discuss the concept of the morality integration, the reason to investigate C.G. Jung's thought of morality integration, at the same time give a summary of the thought research. However, C. G. Jung never gave a clear and defective name of "morality integration", which was divided among his enormous writing. As a result, so far no scholars could have given out the explicit name and systemic description. By studying C. G. Jung's theory of morality integration and soul's salvation, the main objective of this paper was to find the way of achieving the human perfection and morality harmony, and made it possible for modern people to get rid of the great affliction of both spirit and morality. The second, the analytical psychology, as to the source of the theories of C. G. Jung's morality integration was discussed in the 2st chapters, as well as the theory's source in 3st chapters. The thought of Jung's morality integration and analytical psychology were in perfect harmony. In order to get a deeper understanding of Jung's theory of morality integration, the first thing is to know the background and main contents of analytical psychology. This paper regarded the analytical psychology, which gave great concern over the whole mentality of human as innovation and exceed to the "psychology without mentality". Analytical psychology included personality structure, archetype theory, psychodynamics and psychology treatment etc. The origins of the C. G. Jung's thought of morality integration were derived from three resources, one was the Taoism of nei-tan and the thought of "unity of opposites" in the book of "The Secret of the Golden Flower"; the second was a profound intelligence of Buddhism and the satisfactory enlightenment of Mandala; the last one was the thought of everything in pursuit of integration based on "four in one" of Gnosticism. Based on the three sources, C. G. Jung advocated that the human's spirit world having high unity, mental growth was a process that people's original nature followed the reversion of "Tao", morality integration was in a search for the perfection of morality by the "unity of opposites", and the satisfactory of virtue.The third, from 4st chapters to 6st chapters, which was the importment parts of this paper, discussed the mains to relate the main contents of analytical psychology from the standpoint of Jung's thought of morality integration, how to rescue the soul of modern people, and find ways for people to break away from modern crisis. The psycho-dynamics under the viewpoint of C. G. Jung's theories, which regard human's soul as a relatively closed spiritual system, and the dynamics of soul development came from one's inner mental energy. The mentality was harmonious when mental energy ran smoothly; otherwise, they would draw into conflict. Morality integration, from standpoints of mental energy operating, was to solve the psychology conflict and move the mentality energy harmoniously by the Third Road. The archetypes depended on the C. G. Jung's morality integration were described in the 5st chapters, three archetypes, persona,shadow and the Self, which closed to the morality integration were selected to investigate. The over-development of persona could give rise to mendacious recognition of moral, the shadow oppression has brought about the repeated counterattacks of evil, and meanwhile, the Self mean the complete of the people spirit, the objective analysis of human's spirit by rationalism could led to the losing of soul. As a result, using C. G. Jung's thought to deal with archetypes, try to find out the ways to construct whole personality,shadow integration, individuation, and make people go back to whole personality, morality in perfect harmony, realize personality. The 6st chapters, psychology treatment based on the C. G. Jung's morality integration, in order to fulfill "spiritual synthesize" through "spiritual analysis", and promote the completeness of spirit by the ways of confession,elucidation,education and transformation. By combining consciousness and unconsciousness, transform from self-realization to "individuation", and change the relationship of "I-It" to "I-Thou", so achieve the deformation of character and the integration of moral ultimately.In the results chapter, this paper made an objective theory judgment on the C.G.Jung's thought of morality integration. Although bound to the perspective of the subjects and the specific historical era, although C. G. Jung couldn't deconstruct the traditional broken up morality thoroughly, and also not proposed any revolutionary solutions just like Marxist philosophy, only put forward the train of thought to the morality integration of "unity of opposites" based on moral psychology, which was a most important favorable exploration to saving the modern people suffering schizophrenia and morality bankruptcy. In brief, Jung's theories of morality integration were a good medicine to rescue the modernity crisis from the standpoint of post-modernity.
