To make society a stable and harmonious kingdom is always a common purchase for human society. However, during the period of social transformation, China is facing a series of disharmonious incidents. But for China, the way of compromise has always played an awkward role in both the Chinese political thought history and the Chinese political system history.Therefore, on the basis of analyzing the conceptions of compromise and political compromise, and seeing from the different perspectives including the happens, passes and results of mass disturbances, this article tries to prove that when facing social contradictions, the members of the society of China are not lacking of the will and act of political compromise. However, if seen from the perspective of the modern democratic politics construction, it is not difficult to find that the political compromise existed at present China means more of damaging individual rights and reducing self interests rather than a constructive way of dealing with political contradictions. Upon the above awareness of present political compromise situation in China and to further indicate the constructive significance of political compromise for current China, this article identifies the political compromise with active compromise and negative compromise. At the mean time, it points out that the basis of active compromise not only lies in the system constructions, but also lies in the culture cultivation. This kind of political compromise situation shows why political compromise in China’s awkward position. Therefore, it is necessary to further tap the predicament of political compromise. This article puts forward three key points, including the cultural values, the system arrangement and the social structure.On the cultural values, first of all, cosmology and moral performance of the fierce competition around the political discourse of the imperial power at the institutional level, as well as political and cultural dimensions of the ideological and moral absolute, the truth as well as by ideology, culture, in order to solve the problem method, resulting in moral supremacy, absolute, or so, or that, never a large area of social compromise. Secondly, only modern Chinese history continues the tradition of unified thinking, and even the resulting anti-traditionalism. The disintegration of the traditional political and cultural order, and its formation under the integration concepts and values have been corrosion, resulting in the rejection of tradition on the roads and culture of the revolution on the political changes, overall Westernized and the heart of the deification of human deification ideas, which further confirmed and exacerbated by the lack of traditional Chinese political system of compromise and cultural resources. Finally, due to the impact of path dependence, until the founding of New China, the Communist Party of the development, ideology played a pivotal role as the basis of legitimacy to consolidate their own power, and has been to master the interpretation of the ideology or initiative ideological continuity, unity, and purity. The ideology of this rigid demand caused by the rigid thinking of the maintenance of stability, the face of social conflict is to conceal, delay, evasive attitude, and therefore can not produce the sense of political compromise.On the institutional arrangements, the reasons for the lack of enthusiasm for political compromise on the performance of institutional compromise lack of resources, as well as the public authority to exercise lack of supervision mechanism of power, resulting in the "public authority" does not compromise on the "private rights". First, the lack of institutional resources from the bottom line consensus, system security, and specific operating three, only mutually acceptable related to institutional norms and constraints, in order to reach a basic consensus and compromise of institutional awareness and mechanisms. Second, the mechanism of institutionalized compromise, only by the state power is possible under the conditions of self-restraint and supervision by the people, the state public authority has been restricted, constrained, it can not fail to accept a compromise, and thus the formation of institutionalized compromise mechanism. However, the moment many of the social contradictions and problems appear to a large extent is not yet sorted out the relationship between "public authority" and "private rights", often the result is a "public authority" on the "private rights" does not compromise, and even suppress.On the social structure, into an interest diversified, heterogeneous society, the social class structure become more diverse, the conflicts and contradictions between the inevitable. First of all, in breaking the social, the social structure in China began stereotypes, and social mobility has begun to emerge weakened or regular trend, social exclusion is more serious, trust is becoming less and less, the entire community was filled with a crisis of confidence. In fact, in the general crisis of confidence behind the basic mechanism is based on the imbalance of the "social rights". Imbalance of social rights, such a logic:because of the imbalance of a de facto uneven, so the gap between rich and poor is widening, increased social discontent and society in general crisis of confidence, all sectors of society, especially between a vested interest in a strong class and the vulnerable segments of the conflict intensified. This social logic, those who have neither the power nor the right to the grassroots in the face of the class contradiction is difficult to have a positive political willingness to compromise and action.China’s political tradition of political compromise culture spirit and institutional arrangements for the lack of resources, as well as the formation of cooperation and compromise between social class divide, caused some obstacles on the Chinese political realities of a political compromise to resolve the political conflict. Therefore missing from the more than three levels deep level analysis of the political compromise, both conducive to the development of socialist democratic politics, and it helps to unite the reform and consensus building a harmonious society.
