Abstract: Modernity has just been unfolding and still in its ascendant when the postmodernity eagerly dress itself up and go on the stage, which macroscopically contributes to the amazing phenomenon of multidimensional coexistence and mutual competition, causing the predicament of culture selection and culture identity. This microscopically brings about a series of sickness: the lack of culture individuality, the weakening of culture supporting and culture nihilism, etc. In order to find ways out of the difficult position, the contemporary culture of our country must be built on the position of the tolerance of other cultures, holding the attitudes against culture nihilism, under what view ultimately promotes national culture identity, achieves the conversion of culture conversation mode and reflects profoundly cultural contents.

Key words: modernity, postmodernity, culture predicament, culture construction

摘要： 现代性方兴未艾，后现代性就粉墨登场，宏观上使中国文化的语义场呈现出多维并存、竞相博弈的奇异景观，衍生出文化选择、文化认同上的困境；微观上带来了文化个性缺失、文化支撑力弱化、文化虚无主义泛滥等病症。要走出这些困境，我国的当代文化建设应站在宽容“他者”文化的立场上，本着反对文化虚无主义的精神，提升民族的文化认同感，推动文化对话模式的转换，并展开对文化内容的透彻反思。
