Division of labor in the Marxist theory in a very important position, more than Marx in his writings on the division of labor were studied. Based on the Marxist theory of the origin of the division of labor, basic characteristics, the main content of the expounded, trying to understand the economic globalization and market economy under socialist division of labor, ownership issues, and rural labor and urbanization to this problem.Early history had also conducted many studies on the division, in which Adam ? Smith, Say, who the most representative, the division of their visits to the origin, praised the positive impact of the division of labor or that the negative effects of division of labor. Marx and critical succession Adam Smith and other scholars division of labor based on the idea, through the alienation of labor division and philosophical conversion, formed its own division of labor theories, including alienation and social division of labor, division of labor and production relations and productive forces, division of labor and the contents of the three parts of the superstructure. On the alienation of labor and social division of labor, in"Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844", the Marx were the basis of this philosophy to reveal the source of the alienation of labor, but it fell into alienated labor and private property of the circular maze. On the one hand, he considered that the reasons for private ownership is the alienation of labor, the other hand, he also considered that private ownership is the result of alienated labor. In"German Ideology"in Marx's philosophy on the basis of historical materialism, correctly pointed out that the historical development of social division of labor is the leading source of alienated labor. Alienation of labor is a historical development of social division of labor stage, the social division of private property only to a certain stage of development of the product, rather than the eternal existence. On the relationship between the division of labor and productivity, Marx pointed out, on the one hand, the level of productivity determines the division of development, embodied in the technical efficiency of production determines the division of labor and the knowledge and skills of workers determines the division of labor. On the other hand, division of labor on productivity promotion and the promotion of the role of specific performance in the division of labor that workers streamlining procedures, greatly improving the efficiency of labor, division of labor that made possible the invention of machines, working tools has led to great improvement; division significantly saving labor time. On the division of labor and production relations, Marx believed that the division of labor is the production process of social integration between the way people, according to people working in the production process on the object, the ownership of the means of production relations among people formed a specific economic relations. Division of Labor and superstructure is divided into two parts, including the division of labor and social consciousness and the division of labor and class, the country produces. Social consciousness is the social division of labor after a product that people interact, and a real sense of human physical labor and is accompanied by the emergence of the spirit of division of labor was developed. Division of labor led to the emergence of countries, due to the development of the division of labor caused by a single individual's interests or the interests of a single family all the mutual interaction of individuals with the common interests of the contradictions between. It is because of special interests and the common interests of the contradiction between the common interest before taking the actual state of this individual interests and the interests of all from the independent form, while the special interests through the state this illusory"general benefits"can be achieved.Highlights the contemporary value of the division of labor theory is that: firstly, the division of property is to observe the social basis of the nature of economic globalization, economic globalization is just the nature of contemporary capitalist division of labor in the worldwide launch, which is the logic of capital in the new era embodiment, the globalization of capital. Secondly, the division is to examine the changes in the ownership structure of China's starting point, China's ownership structure changes essentially reflect the diversity of development and changes in division of labor, it is required to adapt to the inevitable result of development of productive forces. Third, the division of labor theory of surplus labor will help understanding of agricultural and urban development. Contemporary China, due to the development of social division of labor, separation of a large number of agricultural producers and land, causing a large number of rural surplus labor production, triggering a large-scale agricultural surplus labor in China to the city's transfer process. With the surplus labor into the cities and towns, with a special national conditions of China's urbanization process has also accelerated. The continuous development of the division of labor is the basis for the transfer of agricultural surplus labor is an important condition for the development of modern industry, which promoted the economic and social change, so closely linked to urban and rural areas.
