The concept of need is an often overlooked concept in the Marxist theory. While, in the system of historical materialism,it has a very important state in the research of human’s survival, development, liberation and freedom which cannot replaced. "Need is human nature."On the one hand, as one kind dynamic activity, people’s needs shape the human; on the other hand, we can rise people’s concrete needs to the philosophy level and use them to verify the realization of human’s free and all-round development.Throughout human history, the development of people’s needs is always along to the development of human. It is closely related to human’s free and all-round development. However,"the needs" are not always the real need of human in the historical process from primitive society to slave society, feudal society and the capitalist society.They are often dominated by some external force,and as a result they impact and block the process of human freedom. Whether people’s needs are conforming with human nature and whether they are alienated reflect what being people are. With the study of the need alienation,the concept of need also has a critical connotation in the theoretical system of historical materialism. And then,the study will guide the progress of the human. Certainly,I must add that the criticism is not just according to something self-created in our head,it is tightly related with the real and historical process. At present,the study of the alienation is still needed.,because,human need is still unilateral,false and estranged, human is still not free. We must point out the abnormality of the original essential structure in human history,bring back its "original figure ",and replay its full part in servicing people.According to Marx’s freedom and liberation thought in his historical materialism system,only human’s need come from people’s real need, and overcome its alienation,can it play its best role on human’s free and all-round development.This requires:Firstly,realize the generalization comprehension and diversification of the need by aid of comprehensive practical activities; Secondly, realize that human is not the independent social existence, get along with nature and others harmoniously, and then has a good grasp of human essence,as well as human all-round development.Finally, we all know that the theory has its vitality and value only when the analysis of the theory can be used to guide the realistic social practice. Consequently, we must promote the process of socialism modernization construction with Chinese Characteristics,National strong,people’s prosperity and social harmony,well-being under the guidance of Marxism in the light of the facts of our country’s reform and openness and modernization construction.
