The thought of contemporary Chinese cultural conservatism characterized the whole consciousness of Chinese culture’s modern development which shows a conversion focusing from “breaking” to “founding” from one aspect, and this change has its inner necessity. The positive significances are: First, it helps to further enhance the subjectivity of national culture in Chinese contemporary cultural construction, and founding on this to better absorb foreign culture especially western culture; Second, it helps to create a social cultural atmosphere to understand Chinese culture more completely and profoundly, and better critically inherit Chinese culture’s good traditions; Third, it reflects requirements of the time which must concentrate the wisdoms of multi-ethnic cultural communities to solve common puzzles of the “global village”. At the same time, there are also some disadvantages: first is the narrow cultural mentality; second are dogmatism and monism cultural view; third is its weakness in theoretical construction.
