Abstract

The speech chosen to study is Xi Jinping?s speech on Chinese Dream in 2013, which was made after he was elected to the new chairman and could be regarded as his inaugural address. Within the theoretical framework of Fairclough?s three-dimensional model, Halliday?s Systematic Functional Grammar and Shi Xu?s historical-cultural approach, this research interprets the social and cultural factors affecting the text production and then reveals ideological meaning and historical-cultural significance. The results of this research show that, the speech on Chinese Dream has its political inclination, reflecting Chinese Communist Party?s ideology and political principle, to serve for the ruling status of the Party. At the same time, Chinese Dream expresses strong national and racial consciousness, which roots in Chinese traditional culture and has Chinese cultural peculiarity very different from American Dream in western society. In summary, Chinese Dream not only has strong political meanings, but also has significant social and cultural meanings.
