农耕文化、游牧文化和海洋文化构成了中国三位一体的传统文化内涵。考古学与文化史学研究表明,中国是典型的海洋大国,创造了灿烂的海洋文化,传播、推动、主导着中华海洋文化的发展。虽经历西方海洋文化的冲击,但中国海洋文化发展未曾中断。进入改革开放尤其是海洋世纪以来,海洋文化的发展进入崭新的轨道。海洋文化民间信仰与海祭活动得到恢复;海洋文学艺术百家争鸣,百花齐放;海洋文化研究促使海洋文化学的学科理论、体系不断完善,一门新兴的海洋文化学科逐步成熟并得以建立;国民海洋意识不断提升;“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设引起众多国家共鸣等。尽管在发展过程中不可避免地存在一些不足,然而面向未来,海洋文化研究的历史使命日益凸显,把握“和谐海洋”发展主题,以文化“走出去”为动力,开创中国海洋文化大发展、大繁荣的全新格局正在逐步形成。
