Abstract: Harmony is the core value of the complete system of Chinese traditional culture which has lasted thousands of years. It mainly manifests in the harmonious space, development, society, politics, sociability and health. In the West, the harmonious idea also has a long history and many great philosophers regard harmony as a cultural pursuit; meanwhile, harmony is also the social ideal pursued by Communists. In contemporary China, harmony is in accordance with the aims of the CPC's Socialist practice and is interpreted deeply in such aspects as awareness, aim, diplomacy and demonstrative approaches. The harmonious society theory of contemporary China is the result of summarizing the social and political civilization achievements and continuous Socialist practice. It contains the essence of the contemporary advanced culture and directs the way to the advanced culture. Constructing harmonious culture is an important task in it. Harmonious society is a cultural stage; it needs the direction and support of culture and includes the requirement of culture construction. To construct harmonious culture, we need to establish harmonious concept and the cultural workers must undertake the grand task. We must reinforce the construction of harmonious culture and realize the harmony of culture itself, so as to achieve the beneficial interaction among different cultures and the harmonious development mechanism of culture itself. Cultural harmony is the highest stage of social harmony.
