Modern nations are often composed of multi-ethnic. Citizens in construction of their national identity through the political system, at the same time, also pulled out of the tribe of the identity, with cultural attitude to maintain their own national identity in this population. So modern nation-state identity itself contains the dual nature of culture and politics: the identity of the compatriots- ethnic community the strong culture; Citizens of citizens- the identity has a distinct political nature of political community. Although the boundaries between the two is often not so distinct, but in the modern nation-state identity, still can be divided into culture and national identity politics national identity.Culture is also known as "belonging" national identity, national identity that citizens of cultural psychology, namely the individual national and traditional culture of "national" acceptance, beliefs, language, poetry, etc. This national culture of national identity in the family of the national culture of national cultural identity, national identity and ethnic of sovereign states three aspects such as the national cultural identity.

Supranational community and the emergence of the national community, economic globalization and the establishment of multinational companies, the conflict between different nationalities regions and civilization, the nation’s weak governance and the differentiation of the national consciousness, make the nation state has had the huge change, in the form of national internal contradictions, the construction of national identity has become increasingly difficult. But, after all, the challenge of globalization is a kind of incentive, and the weakening of national identity, its basic reason lies in fragile and governance capacity of national governance system of weakening.To reconstruct the national identity of globalization era, must integrate culture value and citizenship, narrowing the difference of ethnic areas of culture and economy, promote social members to the national culture and national system of rational subject, through the rational reflection of citizenship, interpretation and reconstruction, some of the basic concept of the public and political value internalized into the inherent political beliefs and attitude; A sound system of political value system and civilization, realize the value of political socialization process, establish citizens loyal to the country’s political; Through the construction of the ability of political mobilization, benign social organization ability, as well as a sound public service ability, improve the structure of state system and management ability.
