Abstract:

Understanding the traditional cultural origin and development of the ideology of common prosperity is of significant importance for theoretically grasping the concept of common prosperity. According to historical materialism, the concept of common prosperity put forward by the Communist Party of China is originated from the development of traditional Chinese thoughts. The pre-Qin period witnessed the emergence of the idea of enriching common people from Confucian people-oriented thought, serving as a precursor to the ideology of common prosperity. After the unification in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the advent of a unified nation provided the possibility of using state power to handle with poverty issues. Concurrently with the emergence of utopian thinking and ideas of equalizing wealth, practical strategies to deal with poverty were also proposed. However, the low productivity level in traditional agricultural societies made resolving poverty remain as an ideal. In the modern era, the traditional cultural roots of common prosperity merged with the essence of Marxist ideology. The socialist anti-poverty ideology gained acceptance among the majority. Eventually, the Communist Party of China advocates the concept of common prosperity. It can be seen that the concept of common prosperity is a great innovation of Chinese Communists while it is rooted in Chinese traditional culture. It is the result of the Sinicization of Marxism. Only the combination of Marxism and Chinese traditional culture produces this theoretical fruit of common prosperity.
