The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward "more harmonious society" as one of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward "improving the ability to build a harmonious socialist society" as an important aspect of the party's ruling ability, which is the first time in the history of our party. The proposition of this important thesis is an important enrichment and development of Marxist theory, and it is another theoretical sublimation of our party on what socialism is and how to build it. Understanding and grasping the rich connotation of building a harmonious socialist society is of great significance for us to fully implement Scientific Outlook on Development, promote the coordinated development and all-round progress of China's economy and society, and realize the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

The CPC Central Committee proposed to build a harmonious socialist society, which expanded the overall layout of China's socialist modernization from the trinity of developing socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics and advanced socialist culture to include the content of a harmonious socialist society, and achieved a leap of four in one. Building a harmonious socialist society is an important strategic measure for our Party to conform to historical development and change and promote the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is an inevitable requirement of China's economic and social development in the special historical period of system transition and social transformation, to meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people, to consolidate the social foundation of the Party's governance, to realize the historical task of the Party's governance, and to fully implement Scientific Outlook on Development and achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Human society is a historical process from low level to high level. Building a harmonious society of equality, mutual assistance and coordination has always been a beautiful pursuit of mankind. Marx once conceived the future harmonious society model of "free man association", and clearly pointed out in the Producers' Party Manifesto: "It will be such an association to replace the old bourgeois society with class opposition, in which the free development of everyone is the condition for the free development of all people." Marx's exposition on "the union of free people" and "the all-round and free development of human beings" both refer to the target model of the future advanced harmonious society. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee put forward the idea of "building a harmonious socialist society", which gradually turned Marx's scientific exposition into reality. This fully meets the requirements of the law of human historical development and is another major theoretical innovation for our party to promote the great cause in the new period.

The basic contents of building a harmonious socialist society are: first, to establish social relations of mutual respect and trust between people; Second, everyone should do their best, get their place, and live in harmony; Third, we should rejuvenate the country in harmony, start a business in harmony and live in harmony. Building a harmonious socialist society is determined by the fundamental purpose of our party to serve the people wholeheartedly, which not only embodies the "short-term purpose and interests" of the broad masses of the people, but also embodies the "future" interests of the broad masses of the people. Fully meet the requirements of "Theory of Three Represents". In the new period and new stage, if our party wants to maintain its advanced nature, consolidate its ruling position and improve its ruling ability, it must strive to realize the people's desire for social stability and harmony. Only in this way can we win the support of the people and socialism be full of vitality.

At present, China's reform and development is in a critical period. The reform involves economic, political, cultural and other fields in breadth and touches people's specific economic interests in depth. Development has risen from simply pursuing GDP to pursuing humanistic GDP and environmental protection GDP, and the population, resources and environment are coordinated. International experience shows that when a country's per capita GDP reaches 1000 to $3,000, the country enters a period of prominent contradictions. Due to the intensification of various economic and social contradictions, it can develop smoothly and economic development can quickly reach a new level. If it is not handled well, the economy will stagnate or retrogress. At present, China has entered the stage of per capita GDP of $65,438+0,000. In order to avoid possible economic and social problems, consolidate the achievements of reform and development, and promote sustainable economic development, we should actively maintain social stability, promote social harmony, reconstruct social structure, improve social organizations, adjust social relations, give full play to the creative vitality of all social strata, groups and organizations, resolve various contradictions and problems, build a socialist harmonious society, and make the whole society form a joint force.
