社会学中将由于文化发展与社会发展之间存在的不协调而造成的文化本身应有的社会功能与文化发展的现实间的差距称为社会矛盾。精英文化不足;大众文化媚俗倾向;个人主义价值观的泛滥;文化经费投入不足;人的文化素质的低水准;这些当代中国文化建设中的矛盾都是我们在先进文化建设中不容回避的问题。 In sociology, the gap between the social function due to culture and the reality of cultural development due to the uncoordination between cultural development and social development is called social contradiction. The shortage of elite culture, the tendency of kitsch in mass culture, the proliferation of values ​​in individualism, the inadequate investment in culture, and the low standard of human cultural quality. These contradictions in the construction of contemporary Chinese culture are all problems that we can not avoid in building advanced culture.
