Abstract：The differences between Chinese and Western ideas on the conflict of civilizations determine the different historical trends of Chinese and Western civilizations. In the history of Western civilization, although there was once the prosperity of ancient Greek civilization and the short-term unification of the Roman Empire, the historical norm of political division, ethnic division, religious and secular confrontation, geographical expansion is accompanied by the interruption of civilization, ethnic conflicts cannot be bridged, political communities are limited to local areas, and religion and secularity are mutually exclusive, reflects the logic of “division” of Western civilization. As the only civilization form that has been inherited for thousands of years and has never stopped flowing, Chinese civilization embodies the logic of “integration” because of its natural internal unity. Adhering to the common belief that “the land cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be dispersed, and the civilization cannot be broken”, Chinese civilization has not only shaped the national community of “one family under the world”, but also formed the national community of “Hua Yi Wu Wai”, the political community of “great unification”, and the cultural community of “pluralistic integration”. Because of its inherent unity, Chinese civilization, while maintaining the sense of geographical belonging and national identity of the Chinese nation, has accumulated the concept of national community of “Hua Yi unification” and the value criterion of “harmony is precious”; the great unification tradition of “Kyushu Coherence, Pluralistic Integration” and the eclectic spiritual temperament have cultivated the collectivism ethics of “home, country and world” of Chinese civilization.
