Abstract: Political identity, the public support and recognition of the political system at psychological and practical levels, is conducive to the operation and development of the political system. The ultimate goal of political identity generation is to achieve a balance between psychology and practice. It originates from practice and finally returns to practice. The generation of political identity not only needs the acceptance of the identity subject at the psychological level, but also makes the identity subject participate in the social and political practice, so as to deepen the sense of political identity during the practical experience. The generation path at psychological level includes system shaping path and political socialization path, while the generation path based at practical level refers to political participation path. Institutional shaping, political socialization and political participation have their own uniqueness and are complementary to each other; they play an active role in the process of political identity generation.

Key words: political identity, institutional shaping, political socialization, political participation, political system
