Features: The postmodern period is more determined by various new, culture-oriented forms of social and economic modernization. The characteristics of postmodern culture lie in its more critical new relationship with scientism, culture-oriented economics, and its pragmatic, non-utopian relationship with progress and modernization. For postmodern culture, modernization is not only one form but multiple steps, which must genuinely benefit people. Like any society, China also faces continuous challenges: to treat the imminent modernization with humane methods and to experience the various steps of modernization in the postmodern period.
