No matter "the Happiness Polis"."the second Polis"."the Grete Polis" built by Plato,"the City of God" constructed by Aurelius Augustinus,"the Kingdom of Gold" established by Voltaire, or the happiness society of the majority of people by Jeremy Bentham. Fu Liye"s new world, all these reveal the theorists" endless dedication to constructing a happy society."The Five Happiness Theoryin "Shangshu.Hongfan", the great harmonious world of Confucius, and the well-off society of Mencius entrusted the beautiful yearning of people for the happiness of society. Marx and Engels had explored the happiness society theory with their continuously exceeding theoretical courage and unparalleled creativity. With the development of theoretical study and society, the theory has been echoed and proved by practice.The happiness society theory of Marx and Engels mainly includes three aspects:" united labor with a happy mood ","general happiness without the disparity between the poor and the rich ","the revival of freedom, equality and fraternity in higher level". Its theory features three unities:the unity of criticalness and constructiveness, the unity of inheritance and transcendence, and the unity of the unity of the holistic and the periodical. The basic factors influencing the happiness society are:the alienation of labor that affects economic basis, justice that affects the political environment. the ecological environment of the nature that affects the external conditions. The conditions for achieving happiness society mainly includes:the great development of the material productive forces, perfect social harmony, people’s free and overall development. However, the realization of the beautiful blueprint of happiness society can only be achieved through effective approaches. Hence. Marx and Engels resolved it in multiple ways from eradicating the system of wage labor after the proletarian revolution and the building of democracy after the seizure of power to the reconciliation between human and nature.Liberating people who are caught in misery and misfortune and bringing happiness to ordinary people has always been the major goal for the Communist Party of China since its inception, and China has made an active exploration to the building of happiness society. Although Mao Zedong. Deng Xiaoping. Jiang Zemin and Hu Jingtao, the four generations of China’s central collective leadership did not put forward the theory of any happiness society theories, their theoretical contribution to people’s happiness in the practice of social construction made the theory of Marx and Engels shine with Chinese characteristics. Mao Zedong has created a new era in which the socialist era is the really happy times. Deng Xiaoping has consolidated the material foundation of happiness society by constantly attaching significance to economic development, with an aim of achieving common prosperity; Jiang Zemin, by combining the great project of Party building with the construction of happiness society, has begun the process of comprehensive building a well-off society in an all-round manner, a great leap in the process of building happiness society. Hu Jintao has advocated "a harmonious society", which is in essence happiness society. In addition, the scientific outlook on development is also an outlook on happy development in its ethical essence.Whether it is to eliminate the happiness crisis of the capitalist society under the impact of the financial crisis, or to provide theoretical navigation for building a well-off society in an all-round way. we need Marx and Engels" happiness society theory as a guide. With China’s remarkable economic achievement, a happiness revolution aiming at building happiness society is arising, and the Chinese speed is changing quietly shifting towards Chinese happiness. Marx and Engels’s happiness society theories have important implications for the construction of happy economy, happy politics and a happy society.The revelation of Marx and Engels’s happy society theory to economic construction includes advocating economic restructuring from efficiency economy to happy economy, promoting corporate social responsibility movement, and the pursuit of time wealth. The revelation of happy political construction includes paying more attention to fairness so as to promote the construction of a happy China, adhering to public policy’s orientation towards people’s happiness so as to stimulate political participation. The inspiration of happy ecological construction includes advocating happy transition, promoting green development, the main dimensions of the transition of the main dimension from economic development to the well-being of people.
