The theory of Marx's oriental society is one of the most controversial subjects. From people knowing it, the controversies over it have being gone with the revolution and construction of the oriental society, even it led to worldwide dispute, and different person ,in different time, gives a different comprehension to it.Marx and Engels paid close attention to the oriental society because they tried to deliver the oriental people from the miserable living conditions with the capital conquering the oriental societies; they mainly explained the fate of the oriental society by the historical materialism. The oriental society would go out from closed condition, the manufacturing and living of the oriental society would accomplish the modernization by this means; All these were the main contents of the initial theory of Marx's oriental society.The group of Mincui refused worldwide associating, refused to accept the modernized fruits, just on the basis of the nation's living particularity , the serious society becoming divided and the malpractice going with the capital modernizations, they refused to accept the positive achievement of the capitalist modernization to transform the oriental society. They gave the society a historical idealist explanation.With the development of the revolutionary condition, the camp of Mincui began to split, some of them changed their political stand to Marxism, and tried to explain the history and the reality by historical materialism. The political situation changed violently and the revolutionary brewed, all these made it clear that the Russia had already been a pioneer in the social revolution. The reality of Russia made Marx and Engels paid much attention to the oriental society, looked closely at the particularity of the oriental society's development, in the joining of the historical materialism and the field of vision from the oriental society, the theory of Marx's oriental society came into being in the end.The theory of Marx's oriental society included :It would be a humiliated way of total alienation for the oriental society if they put capitalism into practice; It would not need the whole process for the science and technology to give the same birth in other country any longer, having the aid of internationalcontact, the oriental countries can span several historical stages of development; The particularity of the contradiction in the country commune of Russia was the premise of the oriental society to span several historical stages of development; Because of the international contact, the way wasn't only in breaking through the capital society any longer, political factors and military factors can also take on the same mission in different countries; The country starting revolution was not prescribed in the most advanced capitalist country, having sufficient factors, the oriental societies can also launch socialist revolution; The oriental societies did not have to choose revolution and construction way just according to the west countries, in the aid of using the science fruits of the west, the backward countries can span several historical stages of development; The crux of west modernization was to deprive the peasants, the oriental societies have to resolve the modernization and the problem of the peasants in their development if they want to turn it into reality; Avoiding the suffering in developing capitalism spontaneously and enjoying the fruits of the capitalism, which was the two primary principles that the oriental societies must persist in modernization ; The oriental societies must end the spontaneous development, and only by this means, can the oriental societies fulfill the social conscious; The superiority of the country commune can be bring into play only in the socialist times. The theory of Marx's oriental society brought to light the laws that the way in realizing the communism was not the only west model, it revealed the whole principle combining the universality and particularity, which criticized the European Central Theory in society development. This theory made the oriental societies stride into the epoch of liberating themselves, it promote explaining history to creating history, opening the transformation from the negative society liberty to positive society liberty. The theory of Marx's oriental society carries the historical materialism through thoroughly. It is the guide for the oriental societies in their revolution and construction.But, the scientific theory cannot solve all problems of the oriental societies in their development; Social practice is a more complicated process. The policy can only be correct by combing the theory of Marx's oriental society and the reality of different countries, there are many possibilities of historical factors that bring about mistakes-, the international and the national conditions change...
