The regional active is an obscure and synthetic judgement and description of the status of the regional development including economic active, system active and social active, and so on. …Depending on the regional development subject as a carrier and medium, the regional cultural ideas influence both sides of the regional active, and the influence shows derivative and permeability, so it becomes the power-source and background factor of the regional active. The regional development is based on the natural resources, but the depth, scope and angles of the utilization relied more on the social humanity including regional cultural ideas. As far as the time and the average condition are considered, being the first productive forceal science and technology have made a decisive role to the development model. However, under the condition of a specific space time, regional culture facts have a great impact on the economic modernization. There is intimate inner logical connection, unanimity and coupling during the regional model of the economic modernization and the different regional historical tradition and the cultural background. For example Wu-yue culture to southern Jiang-su model and Wen-zhou model, northern Jiang-su culture to Geng-che model. This paper is based on the research of the comprehensive national power.
