Keywords:: mainstream ideology; interface of translation; ideological identification

Abstract:: Within the modern Chinese social space where people’s ideas and values are changing rapidlyand multiple social trends are interacting with each other，it is of great significance to strengthen people’sidentification with，acceptance of and obedience to the mainstream ideology on their own initiative，becausethis is closely related to the legitimacy of the CPC’s governance，the success in the socialist modernizationwith Chinese characteristics and the fulfillment of the Chinese dream for a great rejuvenation of the Chinesenation. Against a historical background of de-ideologicalization going together with re-ideologicalization，through constructing three translation interfaces（ i.e. interfaces between ideology and material，democracy aswell as law），the mainstream ideology，which is relatively abstract and removed from people’s daily life，canbe translated into a form which is able to take root in people’s mind from its original form characterized by bigtheories and grand narratives. Through these translations，the mainstream ideology will evolve into an integralpart of people’s mentality and value system. In this sense，making the mainstream ideology translatable atdifferent interfaces provides us with an effective way to strengthen the construction of mainstream ideology andconsolidate people’s identification with it on their own initiative.
