When nineteen century's China was engulfed by globality andmodernization which caused by geography discovery and Britain's bourgeoisrevolutionary. The cruel fact made China got off the conceit. That also caused mentalitylose and graveness dispute feeling filled of the whole nationality.The under the sun conception in China tradition caused autism, cemented the paytribute system, extruded the difference between China and foreign countries. Thebehavior was a series of culture boastful, which contorted the angel of Chinese to scanthe world. Upon that, the nineteen century's China thought western countries such asBritain to be rough countries, thought occidental to be animals. These societycollectivity imagine filled of the nineteen century's China, as a culture mind andnation's mentality.The assistant of China's first minister named Liu xi hong. He wrote a itinerarywhich named《The diary in the Britain's carriage》, the itinerary repeated the imagine. Inthe itinerary, he had a loth attitude and figured a ideological Britain's visualize. Hedebased other's culture and maintained culture conservatism. He quarreled withmodernization and globality, kept the singleness and immobile culture identity.On the other hand, the minister——Guo song tao achieved modernization after hesaw about the Britain and thought independent. Then he spark plugged China to scanwidely, to learn western countries and participate in modernization and globality'scourse. In his itinerary——《The diary in a diplomatic mission to western countries》and《The diary of London and Paris》, he overthrew the collectivity imagine which Chinathought of the Britain. He had a amicability attitude and figured a Eutopia of the Britainvisualize, made other's culture and selves culture talked together and had communion.He also extracted the other culture's excellence gene into China's traditional culture,energetically urged knowledge's updated and culture's change.Modernization was a inevitable direction which had been proved all over the world.The process of modernization was a society transform which unenlightened society canhave developed society's diagnostic. And the transform usually caused by internationalcommunion. For that reason, in his itinerary, Guo song tao exquisitely lidlessed the Japan whichlearned western countries. And in his power's confine, he compared the China with theJapan. This had precursory meaning, because today's academician in the Americancompared the China with the Japan too. They were the best compare object inmodernization course. In a sense, Guo song tao turned on the compare between theChina and the Japan. Obey his thought, We can from six aspect to compare: the view ofworld system, international circumstance, government frame, economy frame, societyconformity, knowledge and education. We can see, compared to Japan, China lost thechance to alert of the new international force, lost the chance to extend power andfunction of the government, lost the chance to collect resource in separate district, lostthe chance to promote the city life and strengthen the influence of city in village, alsolost the chance to improve education, advance knowledge and directly use indiversiform occupation. The nineteen century's China had a series of complex specialtywhich baffled the course of modernization. China lost the chance, but Japan achievedactive modernization.Assimilated the lesson, China must envisage "the other", seriously absorbed thegood gene of other's culture, updated the knowledge, drove the culture change whichfaced word and the future.Globality and modernization brought in culture change, which caused the problemof culture identity. On this point, Guo song tao's journey can use for reference. Inother's culture and selves culture's communion, his single culture identity updated to anew open one. His culture identity walked up to globality and modernization. Guo songtao, Marx and American anthropology's father were the forerunner of the global cultureidentity.Guo song tao and Liu xi hong's itinerary contained the code of history and culture,contained the possibility to face globality and modernization. Today we must have anopen culture attitude, update the tradition, absorb other's culture, to achieve globalityand modernization, make our effort to construct the global culture identity.
