How is tt relatedwith the traditional Chinese culture in terms of inheritance and transformation？ It is argued that，with the civll society being developed and conditions for llving with individual freedom in Chi- na， ^cultivating life consciousness” has apparently become a proposition of the tmes. What'more，similar ssues were raised after Europe and North America entered modern society.
