Civil society is the direction of the Chinese social reform, also is the inevitable trend of social transformation, is required by the market economy of social existence. However, construction of civil society in China is very difficult. On the one hand we need to transplant on the basis of Chinese culture with Western culture and traditions of civil society, the impact and collision of culture is inevitable. On the history of China have not a tradition like as western, Chinese traditional culture and Western culture to differ the public and even contrasting. Western culture emphasize on reason while Chinese culture emphasize on emotion, western culture emphasize on individual instead of countries on which the Chinese cultural emphasis. The deep spiritual and cultural conflict is not only an obstacle to building civil society, which we achieve modernization, the deep-seated obstacles to reform, modernization, after all, is itself growing in the West. On the other hand, contemporary western civil society itself exist problems, therefore it does not provide us with a ready-made, successful template, from which we can learn successful experiences. Because we must be avoided from the outset, people slip into the western social change quagmire, this is our second re-build civil society difficult.Contemporary western civil society is undesired for thinkers, in accordance with the desired trajectory of modernization continues, also with civil society in the contemporary emergence of the modern problems have changed, the specific performance of the diversity of the family, opening of as the private economic sector and public sector recession and the weakening of critical public culture. Contrast is a tool of rational spirit, disillusionment of man and loss of freedom. Modern western public social problems confirm Marx in the 19th century scientific theory of civil society and transcendence. Marx's critique of capitalist civil society is critical as his part of the capitalist social system and is a basic part of existence, although Marx's theory of civil society does not provide resolving social problems of Western people, but in his criticism of capitalism the theoretical framework of the system can overcome the social problems the public today to provide directional guidance of Marxism of contemporary China should build civil society's theoretical guidance.Civil society is modern social form with western cultural tradition, which should be recognized from the development of its concepts and reality, as the result, we will find something unchanged. The concept of civil society experience from the ancient, modern to contemporary, which were embodied in the concept of civil society, the private economic sector and the public cultural concepts, generally speaking, civil society including three levels, economic, political and cultural areas. From realistic point of view, civil society is the typical industrial society, with the development of industrial society are also constantly expand its content, Family, private economy, public sphere and public culture as the basic elements of civil society and the framework. Reason, subjective value and the pursue of free are always underpin the civil society, which came from the soil in the spirit of Western culture, and now become the ethos of civil society. It is important that understand and grasp of the spirit behind the civil society cultural for civil society.as a developing country, civil society of China is not our self, we must reform of economic and government power to promote social reform, that the building of civil society depends on transplantation, depend on external impetus. Outside between civil society and social exclusion in China is inevitable, under the double impact of past and present China's national power to intervene in civil society is too strong, this is the biggest obstacle to building our civil society, we must nurture civil society rational subject and non-governmental organizations to enhance the capacity of civil society itself, in order to promote the development of Chinese civil society itself, and build a healthy civil society.
