From ancient to modern times,China has always been a nation of national paramountcy.The country and society are not divided.The ideology has been deeply rooted in the minds of the ordinary people till today.The situation of "strong nation,weak society" has penetrated throughout the history of class in China and the state has not changed much from the founding of new China to the reform and opening up.With the deepening of reform and opening-up,China's economic society has been gradually liberated from various constraints,and has gradually formed into an independent category,which has been continuously developed and expanded.Social construction and governance has become the historical mission of Chinese Communist Party.Marx's social outlook is about scientific world outlook of the society,and is the prime ideological source of the social theory of Chinese Communist Party,and it is the principal dominated ideology to guide China's social construction and governance.The practice of China society's own growth and development is both an objective process and a theoretical exploration process.Marx's social outlook is the theoretical achievement of Marx's study on human social society,especially the history of European society started with economics.Society is the core category of Marx's historical materialism.Marx's social outlook is the important content of Marxism.The society in Marx's thought is not the "no society" or "weak society" which is completely consumed by the country and the autocracy,but is the society with its own independence and the existence antagonistic to the country.The society which is parallel with the nation has its own development law,which is independent of human will,and has its objectivity.Marx's social outlook is the theoretical generality to this objectivity.Starting from the original,Marx's social outlook can be summarized as:Marx's view of social nature,social development and social values.First of all,the concept of social nature emphasizes which "material production and living relationship" or "economic relationship" is the essence of society."Material production and living relationship" refers to the relationship between people's life existence and continuation,which is the real life of people's "eating,drinking,living and wearing",including material production and self-reproduction.Material life is the premise and foundation of human existence and development,and it is an eternal historical activity.The production and reproduction of real life is the decisive factor in the historical development process.Secondly,the view of social development is the concept about social development.Social development is a progressive process of social movement,transition and spanning.Marx's social development concept is mainly about the root,power,law of social development and the major way to resolve conflicts.Society is self-expanded,operated and developed according to its own laws.In other words,the society is essentially following the law to reform and develop itself.Although people are in the midst of it,they can not change the society arbitrarily,can only transform the society on the basis of understanding,grasping and conforming to the law.Again,Marx's social values are materialist view of freedom.Freedom is both a realistic category and an ideological category.The freedom of the realistic category is restricted by the level of productivity,and the level of productivity determines the degree of freedom realizing.The freedom of ideological category is an ideal pursuit,a kind of spiritual coagulation.Real freedom and ideal freedom constitute Marx's social values.Marx thinks that freedom is the highest common nature of people.It can be gradually implemented only in the development of production and finally under the condition of highly developed production,that is,in the communist society,can be truly realized.In value terms,Marx not only affirmed the guidance role of free ideas,but also pointed out the tools,means and process to realize freedom,namely,the material life practice including production and labor.Marx took economics as the starting point to study society.Similarly,the study of Chinese society should be based on economics.Reform and opening up is the process of China's social recovery,growth and expansion.Centered on economic construction,the "national economy" at the beginning of reform has gradually shifted to the parallel situation with "national economy" and "social economy".The social construction with the theme of "people's livelihood" is a vivid portrayal of Marx's view of the essence of society.Reform is to remove the fetters that constrain the development of productive forces,namely,to liberate the productive forces and to promote the productive forces.The reform path of the Chinese government"streamlining administration and delegating power" is essentially liberating the society and liberating the productive forces.China's 40 years of reform achievements are nothing more than social development with rapid productivity progress.Prosperity,civilization,harmony,freedom,equality,the rule of law and so on in the socialist core values have highlighted Marx's values view from different aspects.China's economic society has its own law of development which grew up in the reform of the national delegating power,as an independent category,once displayed in front of the world,similarly as the "civil society" of Marx's thoughts.lt is the epoch mission of the Chinese people to respect the social governance of this law.Social governance mainly includes three ways:national governance,social autonomy and the both together.National governance mainly includes the decentralization,security system,the rule of law,the rule of morality and so on.Social autonomy mainly refers to the self-governance of the economic society,including the independent operation within the market subject(enterprise),the free association between the subjects following the law of the contract and the agreement.The capital essence of economic society can easily lead to the generation of poor and vulnerable groups,and the nation and society can remedy this social problem through social security system.Both national governance and social autonomy should adhere to the basic principles of rule of law,shared governance and ethic governance.The goal of Chinese social governance is the permanent harmony and stability of the society and the development as soon as possible.Although China is not yet a welfare country and welfare society,the overall strategic orientation of social governance is the development side-by-side of economic society and welfare society.Economic society mainly points to productivity development;Welfare society mainly points to social stability.
