The essence theory of Deng Xiaoping’s socialism, as the significant components of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, is the summary of the experience and law of socialist construction. Being at the crucial period of building an all-round well-off society, it is necessary to keep the socialist orientation and reveal the superiority of socialism. Therefore, it is obvious that interpreting Deng Xiaoping’s socialist essence theory is important with advancing with times.The core content of Deng Xiaoping’s socialist essence theory is to emancipate and develop the productive forces. The productive forces category is the inheritance and development of the thought of the Marxism. As the core factor of Deng Xiaoping’s socialist essence theory, the productive force category contains other contents of Deng Xiaoping’s socialist essence theory, as well as the fundamental objective and value orientation.The productive forces category of Deng Xiaoping’s socialist essence theory is the inheritance and development of the thought of the Marxism. What Deng Xiao thought of the productive forces is not limited to the ability that human beings change the nature, but the thinking pattern of philosophical problems from practices following the Marxism. Human’s production practices are divided into the following aspects: the production of materials of living production and producing materials, the production of spiritual living materials and producing materials, the production of human’s quality and human’s production with the social organization form. Accordingly, the productive forces that human is using for the social production is the integration of the practice ability from these four aspects.According to the productive forces of the Marxism, the essence theory of Deng Xiaoping’s socialism can get a new explanation. The productive force of the Marxism includes: preceding the production of materials of living production and producing materials, preceding the production of spiritual living materials and producing materials, preceding the production of human’s quality and human’s production with the social organization form. To emancipate and develop the productive forces just is the productive forces of emancipating and developing these four aspects. Accordingly, “ to eliminate exploitation and polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity” also contains theses important aspects. Besides, the productive forces of social production in socialist form with eliminating the exploitation are the significant embodiment and fundamental guarantee.Based on the productive forces of the Marxism, re-interpreting the essence theory of Deng Xiaoping’s socialism, for one thing, can get rid of narrow understanding for the productive forces with traditional thinking pattern. For another, it can offer the essence theory of Deng Xiaoping’s socialism with new meaning. What’s more important, it can bring some problems into the essence theory of Deng Xiaoping’s socialism reasonably, including the problem of “people oriented”, the problem of “public ownership” and the problem of “distribution according to work”.
