The concept of tradition and innovation in the national culture has become one of the main issues in modern philosophy. The concept of tradition and innovation are correlated with different layers of human culture and human history. Interaction in the culture of the people of old and new, and borrowed by a number of ways: simple penetration of the elements of one culture to another, the synthesis and use of borrowings in accordance with traditional norms and customs. We also consider the traditional culture of the Kazakh people, which is characterized by a high continuity in the moral education of the younger generation, the spiritual perfection of the individual. In concluding part of the article there are given practical ways of solution of the problem. These solutions are taken from construction of new capital of Kazakhstan Astana. Astana is constructed in complex with traditional and innovative values. If to analyze architectural features of Astana‘s buildings semiotically, there can be revealed deep national traditional myths on them. We think that promotion of national values in the example of Astana can have significant impact on advance of traditional values both in traditional and innovative way.
