Abstract: From the perspective of civilization history,the change of modern Chinese culture deeply reflects the dialectical and unified relationship between the creativity and continuity of Chinese civilization. In modern times,China has encountered an unprecedented national and cultural crisis. Chinese culture has integrated and assimilated the advanced achievements of Western civilization in the conflict with the West,constantly breaking through the limitations of her inherent culture and creating modern new culture. By combining with the specific practice of the Chinese revolution and national culture,the basic principles of Marxism creatively have embarked on a path of the New Democracy. Thereby China achieved national independence,institutional renewal,and the rebirth of Chinese culture. If this issue is viewed from a developmental perspective,the new culture represented by Chinese Marxism and the New Democracy is still Chinese culture. The transformation of modern Chinese culture is not the rupture but the rebirth of Chinese culture. That the change of the rebirth of Chinese culture in modern times has important historical value and practical significance in building modern Chinese civilization.

Key words: the Chinese culture of modern times, creativity, continuity
