The turbulence and coexistence of multiculture is the main tendency of world culture development.Multiculture,a generalization of various cultures existing in a country,society or nation,refers to a set of cultural value system which respects the variety of many cultures and allows their co-existence and co-prosperity.Multiculture,which symbolizes the development and prosperity of contemporary culture,is an objective reality which doesn't concern any man's will.In other words,whether man is willing and conscious or not,multiculture,which serves as a survival and development mode,has been affecting man's ways of thinking and values,tempering a spirit and personality which responds to the changes of modern society.Since reform and opening up,western ideas,mode of thinking,standard of value,life style and so on have been pouring into China constantly with the deepening of globlalization,which contributes to the new pattern of cultural influence,collision,communion and competition between the Chinese culture and foreign culture,traditional culture and modern and postmodern culture,the mainstream culture and non-mainstream culture,mass culture and elite culture.It always carries a certain ideology,which provides the foundation for the formation and development of ideology during the proceeding of cultural development.Ideology,in turn,becomes the core and guidance of the cultural development.In modern China,the clash and integration of many cultures brings not only a chance but also a challenge to the mainstream belief dominated by Marxism.There is no doubt that the challenge is severe.Due to the communication and comparison of various cultures,members of our society own those dreams,beliefs and values which are increasingly changing and will further lead to the change of people's roles in life.When we observe the publicity based on the mainstream belief,we can find that the result is not adequate and the main stream ideas cannot go to people's heart but floating on surface,although the government are spending large amount of human resources,physical resources and finance resources when the press media are doing their work in large scale and schools are setting up ideological education classes.Therefore,under the multicultural background,to inspect the mainstream belief building and to explore its inner contradiction,mechanism,values as well as innovation strategy is historically urgent and realistically important.By using multi-disciplinary theory and method,this article explains the inherent logic between cultural diversity and mainstream ideology construction,and investigates the Chinese and foreign historical experience for the construction of mainstream ideology and gives an objective analysis,which is based on the background of multicultural agitate and co-existence and closely revolves the subject of the construction of Chinese mainstream ideology in modern society.Following an detailed analysis of the opportunities and challenges of Chinese mainstream ideology construction which has been brought by the cultural diversity,the article emphatically discusses the value orientation of contemporary Chinese mainstream ideology construction and the basic content under the multicultural background,makes further exploration of the the principle and the concrete path of the contemporary Chinese mainstream ideology construction under the background of multicultural system,and strives to have an in-depth discussion and positive response to the mainstream ideology construction under the background of multiculture.The whole thesis consists of three parts:introduction,text and epilogue.The part of introduction elaborates the reason for doing the topic research.To be accurate,it is concerned with the new situation,new challenges,as well as the understanding of ideological struggle in the current international and domestic situation under the background of contemporary multicultural agitate and coexistence.On this basis,it gives a further illustration of the theory meaning and practice value about the study of China's contemporary mainstream ideology construction.Meanwhile,the article makes clear the progress and problems at home and abroad about the contemporary mainstream ideology construction of our country.Thus it forms the main research mentality and the research methods of this topic.The main body is composed of six parts:?.An interpretation of multiculture in a multidimensional perspective.While illustrating its connotation,the author agues that multiculture bears the characteristic of diversity,inclusiveness and consensus.The thesis also gives an analysis of the differences between multiculture,cultural pluralism and multiculturalism,that is,multiculture emphasizes the origin and nature of different cultures.cultural pluralism refers to the coexistence of different cultures while multiculturalism is a political theory and ideology.In the light of these,the author analyzes the four basic dynamic dimensions which promote the contemporary Chinese multiculture globalization,informatization,social transformation and ideological identity.At last,the author analyzes the present situation of Chinese multiculture turbulence and coexistence,thus putting forward a theocratical hypothesis for a further analysis of the logical correlation between Chinese multiculture and the construction of mainstream ideology.?.The logical correlation between multiculture and the construction of mainstream ideology.Starting from the origins and evolution of ideology,and based on the basic principle of historical materialism,the thesis expatiates the logical process of Marx's theory of ideology and generalizes its basic position,characteristics and main function.Next,the thesis throws light on the related theories of the construction of mainstream ideology,and defines the connotation and denotation of the mainstream ideology.A new generalization is given to the characteristics and function of mainstream ideology.This thesis not only clarifies the differences and connections between political party ideology,national ideology and social ideology but those between mainstream ideology and non-mainstream ideology.The logical relationship of culture and ideology,multiculture and the construction of mainstream ideology are fully mined and analyzed.Also,the author points out that communication and communion is the basic situation of multiculture and Chinese mainstream ideology.Finally the author gives a detailed illustration of the experience and deficiency in constructing Chinese contemporary mainstream ideology.?.Opportunities and challenges for modern China's mainstream ideology brought by multiculture.Firstly,the thesis objectively analyzes that the existence of modern China's multiculture has it's historical inevitability,and points out that there are four reasons acount for the existence of multiculture.The change of social-economic base is one reason while political restructuring is another.And traditional cultural heritage is the third one.Cultural exchange with foreign countries is the forth reason.On this basis,it dialectically comments on some kinds of cultural thoughts which have greater influence on our country's ideology,including neoliberalism,democratic socialism,consumerism,nationalism,and cultural conservatism,and then comprehensively shows the opportunities and challenges,which multiculture brings to our country's mainstream ideology,to lay a logical basis for further exploring the academic context of the construction of mainstream ideology.?.Value orientation and basic content of mainstream ideology of contemporary China in diverse cultural background.It is the key part of the thesis.Firstly,it interprets the issues of social ecology occurring in the development of mainstream ideology of contemporary China in the view of social ecology aspect.It also points out that the value orientation in current China with multicultural background is people-oriented,and the pursuit of ultimate value lies on human's comprehensive free development.Based on it,considering the development of mainstream ideology of contemporary China as a all-round systematic project,it explains the basic issues in the construction of mainstream ideology of contemporary China in details from discourse system,cultural awareness,building of people's livelihood,social justice and ecological civilization which is the core and natural calling of it,further showing the marching with the times is the theoretical character in the development of mainstream ideology of contemporary China.?.The basic principle and the specific path of the contemporary Chinese mainstream ideology construction under the multicultural background.Under the multicultural background,the contemporary Chinese mainstream ideology construction should accurately grasp the "one" and "many",and adhere to the dialectical unity of dominance and diversity,and scientifically treat the "Cheng" and "Qi",and insist on the logical unity of inheritance and development;and treat the“difference”and"the same" correctly,and adhere to the unity of respecting for the differences and diversity;and treat the "breaking" and "vertical" rationally,and adhere to the principle of combining the critical and constructive together;and treat "general" and"special" correctly,and adhere to the unity of international and national.The effectiveness in the development of mainstream ideology relies on the route option,which is the core and should specify in adhering to a basic thinking of“cultural culturalization”in this multicultural background,to strength the construction in socialist core values and improve the pattern of propaganda,to integrate the opinion territory and expand the communication methods,and to optimize the social ecological environment for mainstream ideology,etc.The epilogue part of the article points out that mainstream ideology construction is a process of constant development and advancing with the time under the background of multicultural,the contemporary Chinese mainstream ideology construction is a long-term,hard and systematic project.lt must conform to the tide of times development,follow the universal law of the development of the ideology itself,grasp the development trend of ideology,humanize the public in the form of "moistens everything silently ",strengthen the academic research of Marxism further,and make continuous development and improvement by learning the wisdom from the masses.
