摘要

Religious reflect and influence the cultural character of a nation. Different religious consciousness reflects the different cultural development path of social personality. People's religious consciousness in China and Japan are both gradually formed along with the booming development of commodity economy at the end of fifteenth century. Because of the same Confucian cultural circle of East Asia, with rich connotation that is significantly different from the medieval western public awareness of religion, they exhibit similar external characteristics and internal performance on a variety of levels. From the intercultural communication perspective, through the analysis on the commonalities of people's religious consciousness in China and Japan, it helps to understand the inside and outside connection of both, and then really promote the smooth realization of intercultural communication.
