philosophy of development is the utmost principle of Xi Jinping's ruling philosophy.First of all,the people-centered philosophy of development has the value of the times,which is the appeal of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era,and is the guiding ideology for leading the great struggle and the great dream.Secondly,the main connotation of the people-centered philosophy of development is that development is for the people,development is dependent on the people,and development results are shared by the people.Finally,the sources of the people-centered philosophy of development include Marxist historical materialism,resources of foreign philosophy and social sciences,and the traditional people-rooted thought.This leads to the traditional people-rooted thought,which paves the way for Xi Jinping's transformation and development of the traditional people-rooted thought.The second chapter is the investigation and evaluation of the traditional people-rooted thought.The traditional people-rooted thought has dual attributes.Its positivities are manifested in the fact that the people in the historical development are not only the creators ofmaterial wealth and spiritual wealth,but also played an important role in the changes of the dynasty.Under the influence of the traditional people-rooted thought,the enlightened rulers strongly advocated benevolence government and rule of virtue,and they put forward a series of concepts,such as enriching the people,improving people's political status and benefiting the people.The limitations of the traditional people-rooted thought are manifested in the nature and color of feudalism.The traditional people-rooted thought has a long history,but it is deeply influenced by feudal rule.The rulers seem to safeguard the interests of the people.In fact,they regard the people as a tool to maintain the rule of feudal society.The people are pinning their destiny on the officeholders,but in fact the interests of the people are always not guaranteed.The third chapter emphasizes the creative transformation of the traditional people-rooted thought.In regard of Marxist theory,Xi Jinping reformed the limitations of the traditional people-rooted thought in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of the times,endowed them with new era connotations and modern forms of expression.The people-centered philosophy of development is mainly manifested in breaking the instrumental theory of feudal society,making the people to be the owner of the country,ensuring that the people are widely involved in political life,mastering their own destiny;correctly handling the relationship between the Communist Party of China and the people,breaking through traditional people-centered thoughts of the monarch Subordination,and using the system to maintain the people's ownership.The fourth chapter introduces the innovative development of the traditional people-rooted thought.Xi Jinping's innovative development of the traditional people-rooted thought adheres to the role of the people in the historical development,inherits and develops the ideas of enriching the people,improving people's political status and benefiting the people in the traditional people-rooted thought.In economic construction,Xi Jinping has borrowed and developed the idea of enriching the people,vigorously developing the economy,promoting the development of productive forces,and safeguarding the wealth of the people's material wealth.In political construction,Xi Jinping has developed the concept of improving people's political status.He has insisted that all state power belongs to people,broaden the channels for the people to participate in political life.In ideological and cultural construction,Xi Jinping has enriched and developed the concept of teaching the people,in order to promote the propaganda and education of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and improve the moral cultivation of the people.In the construction of social and people's livelihood,Xi Jinping has carried forward the concept of benefiting the people,in order to solve the problems which people concerned,and make the achievements of reform and development benefit the whole people.The fifth chapter is the reflection and evaluation of the people-centered philosophy of development.Under the vision of Marxist historical materialism,the people-centered philosophy of development theoretically carried forward the enthusiasm of the traditional people-rooted thought,overcame its drawbacks,and insisted that the people are the creators of history and respondents.In practice,the people-centered philosophy of development is a scientific exploration of the socialist road with Chinese characteristics,it provides traditional cultural genes for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity,and it is conducive to stimulating the people's initiative and participating in building socialism and uniting China's power to achieve the Chinese dream.
