The construction of the Chinese discourse system of higher education and the exploration of modernization of Chinese higher education's road are the integration of knowledge and practice,and the integration of educational ideas and educational practices.Prosperous Chinese civilization provides a broad space and strong impetus for the exploration of Chinese higher education ideas and practices.However,at present,when Western terms,concepts and categories have become the"prototype theory"of modern higher education,with the inconsistence of the theories and ideas of Chinese higher education and limited summary of the experience of Chinese higher education,it is difficult to achieve the spiritual independence of higher education theories.The construction of the discourse system of higher education requires the con-sciousness of civilization under the mutual learning of Chinese and Western civilizations.This kind of con-sciousness is to interpret the spirit of Chinese higher education in the long history of civilization(not limited to the short period in modern times),to answer the question of"living in China"and"why it is China"of higher education,so as to build the consciousness of the subjectivity of Chinese culture.In order to iden-tify the philosophical basis and civilization root of the western higher education discourse system,the con-struction of Chinese higher education discourse system needs to take the Tao(body)theory as the ideolog-ical framework to classify subjective ontology-metaphysical,and use the integrational thinking to classify the ontology of Western higher education which is separate from knowledge and value,which is a change of methodology and ideological circumstance.The construction and self-assertion of a new discourse system of higher education based on the return of ancient civilization need to adhere to the"civilization conscious-ness"of civilization's exploration,integration and understanding of civilization.By further analysis of the logic and pragmatics norms of the core terms of higher education,it can be found that the core terms of higher education have the characteristics of control,civilization root,times and interactivity.The"rational"discourse of Western higher education has caused a great impact on the"nature and principle"discourse of Chinese higher education.Through the combination of Chinese and Western rational discourse,a compre-hensive rational discourse or a train of thought is constructed.The dissimilation of higher education shows the necessity of criticizing the"discourse power"of higher education.The return of the discourse power of the subject of higher education can inject strong impetus into the construction of the discourse system of higher education.The practice of Chinese civilization reveals the value identity and ideological heritage of higher education,including but not limited to the theory of"neutral education",the higher education po-litical philosophy of"reaching out to the world"and the academic spirit of"inclusiveness".
