Last century in the democratization wave causes domestic and international academic circles' concern toward the academic term"Public Sphere". "Public Sphere" is an important achievement among researches of Jurgen Habermas, an independent realm which regulate between the national power organization and the private sphere. In this realm, the public can express ego and participate the discussion of public business, which becomes public opinion, influencing public power organization. Public sphere in Jurgen Habermas'theories means "the public sphere of the propertied class", which is through analyzing England, France, German etc in 17 and 18 centuries. Western capitalism society in Jurgen Habermas concrete history experience and abstraction come out of an ideal diagram view, also express as morals philosopher and political philosopher of Jurgen Habermas is to the reality social judgment.In late 19'c, along with "social sphere's"expansion, the emergence of the welfare state, intervention doctrine, media, the public sphere experienced a kind of structure variety. Nation and society permeate mutually, misty the boundary of private realm and public sphere. The public sphere is separately collapsed to break up by"the nation -socialization" and"society nationalization", "the development becomes an arena which loses the power". This is"the structure of the public sphere transformation" writing by Habermas. With freedom, reasonableness, criticize for the public sphere of marking change to "the management disorder of absolute monarchy association realm". People's character lose, the democracy strength become weak, legitimacy defection and damage, this is one of the modern western crisises.People eliminate to melt to the public sphere, the public spirit weaken of present condition, plead loudly return of civism to return.In the several thousand years in China's history, the absolutist system of the feudalism monarch and ancient clan system educated typical of subjects of a ruler's culture, with citizen right consciousness, the corpus realize for main factor of the long-term imperfection of the civism, but the public sphere between nation and private sphere has been absent .In China the current democratization wave with setting up the harmonious and social progress, how "subjects of a ruler's culture" is to be rich with modern"citizen culture" of the democracy characteristic transformation, develop modern civism, grow reasonableness, criticize, freedom of public sphere deserve study of topic.The author believe that public sphere can conduct and actions as an ideal standard to adjudicate and improve contemporary China development, as is universal in democratic societies. The usage abstracted by Habermas comes out of the ideal model of "public sphere". As a tool to analytical Chinese social present condition, "public sphere" undoubtedly pass the construction to build Chinese public sphere to push democratization progress. For the construction or purchase path of public sphere, the author believe, rebuilding from the perspective of citizen spirit cut, because long-term feudalism the bottom of the absolutist cultural educate of "subjects of a ruler's culture" caused seriously lack of the civism main factor, and this is also the most hypostatic problem in the Chinese public sphere construction or purchase. The mechanism of democracy can be gradually perfect, but the civism mold to need more time.
