This paper proposes the Multi-Dimensional Framework of Human Civilization, a dynamically closed system consisting of five core dimensions: the value dimension, institutional dimension, transformation dimension, dynamic dimension, and carrier dimension. The framework establishes a consistent explanatory logic—values set the direction, institutions form the structure, transition breaks bottlenecks, science provides dynamics, and talent serves as the carrier—and advances civilization studies into a rigorous social science theory. Grounded in the holistic experience of human civilization and respectful of civilizational diversity, the framework reveals the general laws governing the emergence, operation, leapfrogging, and sustainable development of modern civilization, offering a unified paradigm and analytical tool for cross-civilizational comparative research, independent modernization paths, and innovative global governance.
