In history, the tradition has ever been the worth source and the spirit foundation of the Chinese culture, playing an important role of providing the spirit mindset and value norm for the society. This consecution that has ever made the China civilization keep a kind of stabilization in a period of time. However, from the middle 19th century, in order to being subjected to the huge challenge that cause by the modernization and western culture, some obvious fracture had appeared between the Chinese and their traditiona, this kind of fracture not only make Chinese cultural spirit can't backlog, but also educate the modern Chinese treat their tradition in a self-contradict mindset. Therefore, re-analyzing the relation between the modern Chinese and their tradition can contribute to examine the dilemma of lacking some cultural basic in modern China.We can say that, the traditional consciousness of Chinese culture gets a good body in the idea of "orthodoxy" of the Confucianism. As a foundational idea of the Confucianism, the idea of "orthodoxy" ostensibly perform as a consciousness that the preach was passed through mutually inculcate by a group of sage, and also that how does the accept can promote this sage spirit of teachings traditionally. But, actually, this traditional mindset is not only a kind of words habit of the Confucianism, but also the born way of meaning of it. Therefore, through looking back to the careers of spokesmen in the history of Confucian "orthodoxy", and reading a certain "information" that was displayed by Confucius in the Analects, this text point out, the Confucian "orthodoxy " can carry out and spread itself to the accept, only because that, every individuals that is under this tradition musts be a "historic beings" firstly, and meanwhile, every concrete arrangement of tradition has to lay its foundation on every individuals' concrete existence, opening to their current livings, and then, it can carry out real fusion between the tradition and the current livings in their comprehension with participation thus.
