Abstract
Chinese humanities need to participate in global dialogue with Chinese self-creativity, and the paper proposes the three stages in the participation as comparative culture, cross culture to inter-cultural turn. While comparative culture may be viewed as comparison between two parallels, cross culture is more like a bridge between cultures, emphasizing on communication. Intercultural turn, however, focuses on the integration and the blending of different cultural traditions, seeking a deeper understanding of other cultures and eventually reaching global cultural integration. The tasks of comparative culture, cross culture and intercultural turn are to develop humanities on different levels, aiming respectively at cultural diversification, interaction, and integration. Therefore, the paper proposes that the development of Chinese humantities in the contemporary context should also move from the stages of comparing and crossing to intermediating so as to build a system of self-creativity.
