On the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixteenth in 2004, it is advanced "the CPC Central Committee on Strengthening the Party's governance capacity-building decisions" made a new proposition "harmonious society", this is our party's independent exploration of the socialist construction, is the epoch-making products and collective wisdom. This new proposition has enriched the Marxist-Leninist theory of social construction, is the product of Marxism in China, is a product of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, it will fully embody the essence of socialism, thus showing a socialist society superiority. But the socialist harmonious society we building is a great system, including the political, economic, cultural, educational, family, organization, between the sexes, between the same sex, between young and old, peers and other relationships between the various angles wide range of fields, content-rich, complex, vast and complex system, the construction of the social system. We also want to build a harmonious society under the guidance of scientific concept of development, which is people-centered society. People-oriented is the most significant criteria to build a socialist harmonious society, of which, the "person" is not abstract, but concrete, realistic, social, who are the masses, including, by both sexes as pluralistic society constitute the main body. From a macro point of view, men and women members of society living in different social strata, different economic regions and different social and cultural environment, not only sustains life, the social production of the normal operation of the key factors, is the distribution of interests of the community who, in the interests of inevitable contradiction between the distribution, gender harmony from a macroeconomic viewpoint, that is, to gender roles in the role of social status; from the micro perspective, men and women members of society to work and live in a different organizational environment and family environment, especially in the family in, gender status, conflict resolution, family violence is the product of a certain period of social relations, gender harmony from a micro perspective, is to deal with gender roles in the role of family relationships.Gender harmony has deep roots and its theory of rationality. Marx and Engels in the principles of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, under the guidance of the Women's Liberation and anti-capitalist exploitation of the concept of women's equality to the basis of Lenin in the Soviet revolution and the proletarian revolution in the practice of women self-emancipation of the mind and the Soviet regime in the construction of women's legal, political and labor implementation of equal rights and protection, although not proposed the concept of gender harmony, however, reflect the rich of gender harmonious ideas. After the founding of new China, the Chinese people under the leadership of the CCP were active in the practice of gender harmony, protection of the interests of the sexes. From Mao Zedong to women under the new democratic revolution against the "four rights" thinking and "the two combination", the five rights of women to achieve gender equality, to in the socialist construction under Deng Xiaoping's thinking of women's political participation and democracy under the rule of law in Women to see the world thought, to Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" of women under the Marxist concept of the proposal and the basic national policy of gender equality in the formulation, and finally to Hu Jintao, under the guidance of scientific concept of gender harmony and comprehensive construction well-off society "Half the Sky" to emphasize the role of practice, gender harmony in-depth study and exposition of the theory.Since the reform and opening up, our social development has undergone tremendous changes, the original pattern of interests is broken, gender ambivalence is aggravating, to alleviate these conflicts, our Party and country began to explore the great history of gender harmony, adhering to Marxist feminism, combined with China's actual national conditions, gradually explored the gender Harmony Road. Concluding thisexploring way, we found that our results are fruitful, achievements are worthy of recognition, manifested in:putting gender awareness into the mainstreaming of decision-making, providing the advanced concepts for gender harmonious policy; constituting two "Development of Chinese Women", putting women's development into the national action plans; establishing gender equality as the basic national policy, our country has achieved gender equality in government policy and the legal construction of a high degree of consistency; constituting a complete system of rights laws and regulations to protect women's rights, providing legal protection for promoting gender harmony; Constructing of the advanced gender cultural policy to promote women's development and create a favorable cultural environment. Moreover, these results played a positive role to the construction of socialism today:to promote social fair and harmony, lessening gender conflict;promoting women's own development, and ultimately to promote the progress of society and the nation; increasing the Party's policies and governing ability. Therefore, studying this period of history, not only conducive to the harmonious development of both sexes, but also insisting on socialism with Chinese characteristics has great practical significance.
