Belief is a special psychological phenomenon for our human beings, which is a basic form of our concept of value. We can define it as a kind of believing to a certain concept, theory and target in our practical human life, which is regarded as the ultimate value and formulated as the fierce emotion and determined pursuit for entrusting on the psychology aspect. Without belief, everything seems to be unimaginable, just as Hegel once said,"even though the temple may be decorated splendid in all kinds of aspects, without the saga, the temple is no longer a temple."Without the saga, there is no awesome respect, and there is no belief left, hence, there is no moral principles, so that, what has been left among our human being is just the trade and argument, even the battles. At present, our China is in a transition period. With the regular foundation of our market economy, the economic globalization is stimulating people's creative enthusiasm, greatly promoting the development of our social productivity, and improving people's material living conditions. Whereas, it makes an inevitable affect and strike on the former ideological thoughts at the same time, so that different cultures, values and beliefs encounter with each other from time to time, making a set of chaos. Therefore, many people are confused with a kind of absent feeling. As for the reasons, we can generally conclude as the lost in belief and cultural bewildering. A word in conclusion, from this kind of point, cultural construction is becoming more and more important, which also attracts the government's special attention and widely concern in the whole society. As a result, cultural construction has been a very important part during our Chinese special social construction. From all of the above, a research on the signification of belief on modern cultural construction is becoming an up-to-date theme. First of all, belief is the nature of our human beings. On the basis of the analysis of the definition of belief, we can get a clear relationship between belief and our human beings. Belief is a special psychological phenomenon for our human beings, which consists of three parts: subject, object and medium. The characteristics of it are its practicality, sociality, overall manageability and transcendence. On the discussion about the relationship between belief and our human beings, the author narrated from the following three aspects: the overall manageability of belief and the construction of our human beings psychological world, the expandability of belief and belief is the ultimate concern about the signification of our human beings existence, which all draw a close connection between belief and our human beings.Secondly, the base of the cultural construction is the foundation of belief. This part mainly concerns two aspects, the significance of culture playing in the human beings existence and the relationship between belief and culture. Culture is a special social phenomenon for our human beings, which developed accompanying with the appearance of our human beings. Culture is the result of humanizing, and the basic conditions for human beings existence. As the soul of culture, belief plays a core part in culture. Therefore, as long as we hold belief, we can hold the soul of culture at the same time during the whole culture construction process. And just for this, belief makes us the basic part of the culture construction.Furthermore, the function of belief in the modern Chinese culture construction. This part presents three mainly topics: the first one is the function of traditional culture transmission of belief. Confronted with the loss of our traditional classic culture, belief shoulders a kind of task of transmission. The second one is the constructional function for the mental world of belief. As a kind of belief, mental world is the ultimate home of spirit. The one who get a certain kind of belief get to the home in his heart. The third one is configuration function for ideal personality of belief. Belief plays a leading part in humans'mental world, so the person who gets a certain kind of belief may present a special mental personality of it, which expresses the direct configuration function to the personality of belief.Finally, what are the basic ways to stick to scientific belief to promote modern Chinese culture construction.On the basis of the analysis of the current situations of Chinese belief, this part talks about the ways to stick to scientific belief, in order to promote culture construction. As for the analysis of the current situations of Chinese belief, three mainly parts are being talked here to help, they are the gradual weakening of the leading belief, multiple tendency of belief and utility of belief. Four more points are being talked to probe the basic ways to stick to scientific belief, they are to enhance self-construction of Marxism belief, to promote contemporary values of Chinese traditional belief culture, to direct the belief culture reasonably abiding to the principle of"one leading, more harmonizing", to realize the relationship between belief and culture correctly to promote the advanced culture construction.
