通向共同富裕:中国反贫困思想的传统文化资源及其嬗变

Approaching Common Prosperity:Traditional Cultural Resources of China’s Anti-Poverty Ideology and Its Evolution

认识共同富裕思想的传统文化起源及其发展,对于在理论上把握共同富裕思想有着重要意义。从历史唯物主义的角度看,中国共产党的共同富裕思想是中国传统思想发展的结果。先秦时期从儒家民本思想中发展出的富民思想可谓共同富裕思想的先声。在秦汉统一以后,大一统国家的出现使得以国家力量解决贫困问题具备了可能。在大同思想、均贫富思想出现的同时,一些解决贫困问题的现实策略也被提出。然而传统农业国家生产力水平低下,使得解决贫困问题只能成为一种理想。近代以后,共同富裕的传统文化根脉与马克思主义魂脉相结合,社会主义的反贫困思想为大多数人接受,并最终由中国共产党人提出了共同富裕思想。可见,共同富裕思想是中国共产党人的伟大创见,其思想来源于中国传统文化根脉。只有在同马克思主义这个魂脉相结合以后,这个根脉才能结出共同富裕的理论硕果,共同富裕思想的提出是马克思主义中国化的结果。

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.
