Fei Xiaotong proposed "cultural consciousness" when reflecting on academic research in his life. He said: "People who live in a certain culture have 'self-knowledge' about their culture, understand its origin, the process of its formation, and its characteristics and its development trend, self-knowledge is to strengthen the autonomy of cultural transformation and to obtain the autonomy of deciding to adapt to the new environment and cultural choice in the new era. ". According to this passage, the main role of "cultural consciousness" is:. ['Make the direction of cultural development more controllable.', 'Making people more adaptable to a growing culture.', 'Give people a deeper understanding of the origins and characteristics of culture.', 'Make integration and transformation between different cultures easier.']
