Abstrakt: The rise of studies on the culture of science at the beginning of the 21st century in China is not merely an extension of studies on the split between scientific culture and the culture of the humanities, which stemmed directly from the introduction of CP Snow's thesis into China, but also a consequence of the re-meeting, conflict and fusion of Western and Chinese cultures since the 1980s. From the perspective of cultural conflict and cultural integration, the author examines the development of studies of the culture of science and some resulting academic tensions over the past 20 years. He points out that the new direction of contemporary Chinese culture lies in the promotion of the culture of science, which is, together with the building of a culture of innovation to make the economy more prosperous, aimed at the promotion of national intelligence.
