Under the complicated situation of the current world pattern, national culture will once again usher in the opportunity of historical appearance under the threat of cultural globalization. Whether it is the need to maintain the independence of national spirit or to improve the centripetal force and cohesion of national states, culture is an inalienable theme. It takes a long period of social practice for a cultural concept to develop from bud to maturity, and in practice, it obtains the common value identity of all people. A mature and stable cultural identity is also the value norm, which contains the common value appeal and value expectation of a nation. Marxism itself is the theory and method of transforming the world and understanding the world. No matter the transformation or understanding, there must be corresponding subjects to undertake this mission, and the function of value norms is to mark the specific subjects to undertake this mission. From this point of view, the value norm function of Chinese excellent traditional culture will help anchor a specific subject, that is, the subject who undertakes the cause of Marxism in China.
