Abstract
There is common value system in Taiwan's society. Communication and interaction is, thus, possible. This common value system is difficult to comprehend since political symbolism has misplaced its meaning. Moreover, cross-straits relations are a crucial factor behind this tendency. Basically, political symbolism is bound to be related to the issue of cross-straits relations. This paper attempts to return to this common value system, which is one of Taiwan's genuine characteristics and cultural practices. If Taiwan were in a crisis, it would not only be one caused by antagonism but also by the continuing daily thoughtlessness. Regardless of one's political and cultural standpoint, Taiwan's society is already there and has always been there. Whatever changes in cross-straits relations there might be, this situation will not change. Here the issue of Taiwanese identity emerges-a phenomenon that requires the help of phenomenology. Taiwan's life world is global with local features. Taiwan society is not only open but continually adapting. Localization is a natural historical development.
