Study On Construction Of Wealth Conception In Contemporary China

Wealth is indispensable in the process of human existence and development,and it is an important goal pursued by human beings in their whole life.In the development of human society,people show their willingness to desire wealth,create wealth,own wealth and enjoy wealth.Meanwhile,some basic understandings and views have been formed on issues such as “what is wealth?”,“what created wealth?” and “how should wealth be distributed and consumed?”.This is the conception of wealth.It is a historical category.In the context of contemporary Chinese development,the conception of people's wealth has been evolved,deepened and developed constantly.The capital logic,which has accompanied by the market economy development,has begun to colonize people's conceptual areas in recent years.With an overall control both physically and spiritually of subjective capital,there is a deviation on people's awareness of wealth-related problems.Wealth thus has been regarding as the ultimate goal of human beings' life,and more than a tool for human's survival and thriving.Based on people's awareness of wealth,their understanding of the issues of “what created wealth?” and “how should wealth be distributed and consumed?” had been deviated too.Through the study on the construction of the conception of wealth in contemporary China,reshaping people's understanding of the issues about “what is wealth?”,“what created wealth?” and “how should wealth be distributed and consumed?”,it can not only help contemporary people correct their attitude,cognition and understanding toward wealth correctly,but also provide beneficially spiritual guidance for us to pursue wealth and promote our self-development and social progress in the present and future.This study focusses on the problems existing the conception of wealth in contemporary China,in connection with the situation of contemporary Chinese development,this study exploring the theoretical consensus of what wealth conception should be constructed in contemporary China,and putting forward the practical measures of the construction of wealth conception so that people can be cultivated consciously,practice and form a consensual wealth conception.On the one hand,it provides a theoretical support for proposing the problem of the conception of wealth in contemporary China.On the other hand,it provides guidance for the development and progress of wealth in contemporary Chinese society.This study follows two logical frameworks: one is combing and reflecting the construction process of wealth conception in the context of contemporary China,grasping the inside logic of the development and evolution of Chinese wealth conception since the foundation of the People's Republic of China.The other is researching the related problems of wealth under the horizon of Marx's conception of wealth,and attempt to put forward the theoretical consensus and practical measures of the construction of wealth conception in contemporary China.Based on these,this thesis focus on the following three aspects.Firstly,this study is starting from the historical origin and real problems,illustrating the profound historical inevitability and realistic urgency of the construction of the conception of wealth in contemporary China.These provides background and theoretical basis for the study on the construction of wealth conception in contemporary China.These are backgrounds for the study of this thesis.Through lengthways combs and reflects wealth conception construction in three important historical period since the foundation of the People's Republic of China,it can be seen that the construction of the conception of wealth is an important issue in every important historical period.Of course,it is also an inevitable and historical option made by our country in order to meet the needs of economic and social development at that time.Through breadthwise anatomies the basic problems and its cause,it can be seen that the conception of wealth is activated from the condition of the contemporary Chinese society development.It is thus evident that the construction of the conception of wealth in contemporary China has following the inherent logic of Chinese social development.Secondly,this study explores the historical formation and main ideas of the theory of Marx's conception of wealth,which is the theoretical support part in this thesis study.Using the negative dialectics to comb the formed skeleton of Marx's thinking on issues related to “wealth”,firstly dialectically reveals the basic content of capitalist wealth conception: “surplus value” is the absolute nature of capitalist social wealth;“alienated labor” is the main source of capitalist society wealth;“exclusiveness and exploitation”are the distribution patterns of capitalist society wealth;“luxury and moderation” are the consumption patterns of capitalist society wealth.Based on these,Marx began to carry out the theoretical thinking and practical exploration beyond capitalist wealth conception.He believed that under the guidance of capitalist wealth conception,on the one hand,the social object mutated,and the capital logic dominated the development of social history;on the other hand,the social subject is served,and the individual's freedom becomes something unsatisfactory.Marx carried out a practical exploration beyond capitalist wealth conception since then.He believed that,in the future society,it is possible to free the society from mutating by constructing a free association;it is possible to get people out of service by realizing the true combination of wealth and civilization,and let them become free human beings.Based on these theoretical achievements,Marx gradually evolved a new understanding about the issues as “what is wealth?”,“what created wealth?” and “how should wealth be distributed and consumed?”,and then,formed his own wealth conception.Finally,as for the conclusion in this thesis,it uses the theoretical thinking and basic viewpoints of Marx's conception of wealth,analyzing systematically and discussing deeply the conception of wealth in contemporary Chinese society,trying to put forward the theoretical consensus on the conception of wealth that contemporary China should construct,and propose the practical measures in the construction of the conception of wealth.The construction of the conception of wealth in contemporary China must construct a theoretical consensus on wealth conception primarily,which is an essential precondition for people can be cultivate consciously and practice wealth conception.There are four areas in the theoretical consensus of construction of the conception of wealth in contemporary China.The first,is that wealth is “something that satisfies people's needs for a better life.” The second,is that “labor” creates the wealth of modern Chinese society.The third is the wealth in contemporary Chinese society should be a kind of “shared distribution”.Finally,the fourth is that the society shall have a conception of “frugal consumption” towards wealth.The purpose of this study on the construction of wealth conception in contemporary China is not only to propose a theoretical consensus on the possibility of wealthy conception construction,but also,more importantly,is to put forward a practical strategy,so that it consciously enables people to internalize these theories into ideas in their mind and put them into practice.In the context of contemporary China,in order to construct the conception of wealth,firstly,it should develop from the perspective of deepening the understanding of the theory and promoting identification of emotions.Secondly,it should depart from the angle of boosting the identification of wealthy conception and consciously internalize through cultivation of conception and construction of institution.
