| YU Ke-ping pointed out that there has been no link between harmony and socialist in socialist countries before the 21st century. Marxism which emerged in 1940s was the product of the contradictions of capitalist society and the revolution of proletariat against the bourgeois. Marx who has been always combined the revolutionary objectives and struggle means during the process of revolution on burying the old World and establishing the new world put forward the idea of seizing power by violent revolution. Thus, Marxism is considered to be a theory of revolution and struggle in the traditional sense. At the same time, Marx's social harmony thought has been deeply hided in the long run. This is a misunderstanding of Marx. Marxism has a rich philosophical thought which both included the revolutionary theory class struggle and conflict, and contained a wealth of social harmony thought. Marx was in the diligent search for the goal of harmonious human society thought out his life. The communist harmonious society is the ideal of Marx who was worth fighting off. It was in the revolutionary process of burying the Old World and establishing the new world that Marx achieved the thought of social harmony by the utopian to scientific change.As a state of social existence and development, social harmony has been the dream of human vision and common goal for thousands of years. For its research, there has been a long history both in eastern and western culture especially the philosophical thought. The concept of Hegel's society harmony, utopian socialists and the bourgeois were draw upon as the theoretical resources of Marx's social harmony through reference and criticism. Inheritance, critique and reconstruction were the basic attitude of Marxist ideology towards the past social harmony. Marx completed the methodology of speculative criticism of Hegel's idealism and reform which exposed the highest ideal of social harmony of Hegel's perspective-the hypocrisy of a rational state and was inspired through the Community of thinking of Hegel. Marx's thought on social harmony was originated from utopian socialism, but also higher than that of utopian socialism. On the one hand, Marx inherited the ruthless critical spirit by utopian socialists against capitalist system and overcame the shortcomings of the abstract rational thinking of utopian socialists. By the objective evaluation of social harmony thought of utopian socialists, Marx specified the utopian characteristics of utopian socialist thought which made the realization of social harmony depend on genius feelings of heroism and the achievement of the class on the road to reconciliation thought. Marx's thought on social harmony which matured gradually is accompanied by the formation and development of harmonious tones though the criticism of bourgeois economy. Marx exposed the vulgar and hypocritical nature of bourgeois harmonious rhetoric through the critique of bourgeois harmonious narrow and rationalism statements and eclectic sophistry and thus highlighted his scientific thought on social harmony.Marx's thought on social harmony of the formation and development of Marxist historical materialism is consistent and critical of capitalist social reality for the soil, along with the Marx of idealism to materialism from revolutionary democracy to communism. The shift experienced a germination, formation, deepening and further development of the course. Marx's thoughts on social harmony which germinated in the capitalist society of political, religious and social criticism of the economic system, formed in the establishment of historical materialism, and tested in the bourgeois revolutionary movement in Europe had deepened in the study of political economy and further improved in the East Prehistoric social research community.The formation of any kind of ideological and theoretical framework had its theoretical perspective or dimension. Mining scientifically Marxist social of Harmony dimension and paradigm was to understand the essence of Marxist ideology of social harmony premise, examine and sort out the formation of Marxist ideology of social harmony development process. We believed that dimensions of Marxist ideology of social harmony expressed in three dimensions:subjective dimension, practical dimension and historical dimension. The so-called subjective dimension referred to the Marxist ideology of social harmony and implementing the principle of subjectivity. Reality which was the logical starting point of Marx's new conception of history was also thinking of Marx and the logical starting point of social harmony. As the main force of social harmony, Reality was the main practice of social harmony, the value of the principal, but also the evaluation of the main social harmony. Practical point of view of Marxist philosophy was the primary and fundamental point of view, but also the basic ideas and methods of historical materialism. Marx's social harmony maintained the practice of the path to achieve social harmony. Marx believed that social harmony was the product of human practice and practice itself provided contradictory nature of social harmony. Social harmony and practical rationality was a necessary requirement. To understand the thinking of Marx to practice the historical development of social harmony, In the longitudinal history, Marx analyzed under tribal ownership to private ownership, under the social harmony and social harmony, under public ownership and then to the development of social harmony; in the horizontal history, revealed the social harmony by the narrow spot harmony, limited regional harmony to the infinite expansion of the process of the world harmony.Social conflict paradigm was the main paradigm of Marx's thought on social harmony. In the previous studies, sociology almost reached a unanimous decision that the Marxist paradigm of social conflict only had destructive nature. Thus they denied the positive role of Marxist paradigm of social conflict in building on social harmony. In fact, social conflict is not a confrontation with social harmony in Marx's perspective and social conflict played an important role in building on social harmony. Marx believed that conflict and harmonious was coexistence of the binary state of society. Social conflict is a means to achieve social harmony and it is the conflict reality of capitalist society that fully proved the necessity of social harmony.Marx's thought on social harmony was a complete theoretical system. Marx made it clear that harmony between man and nature, man and society, people and among people was the proper meaning of social harmony. Through the analyses between man and nature of the interdependent and mutually reinforcing relationship of dialectical unity, Marx indicated the necessity of harmony between man and nature. In the development process of man and nature's relationships, Marx revealed the root of alienation and conflict between man and nature and predicted that the inevitable trend of harmonious development between man and nature and depicted a bright future of one man and nature. Interpersonal harmony is the core essence of social harmony. Harmonious interpersonal relationship was essentially the harmony of interests. Irrational social division of labor, private ownership and the distribution system were the main reason of conflict interest in capitalist society. Therefore, the interests of harmony must be achieved by eliminating the old division of labor, capitalist private ownership. In addition to the revolutionary struggle, Marx believed that the conscious coordination of the interests concept, interests behavior and interest relationship among people was also an important way to achieve the interests harmony. Marx who took the reality of real people as a starting point to understand the relationship between man and society believed that the individual and society were interdependent and mutually reinforcing relationship between human and social. Human's development and social development was a historical process with the two essential. Social harmony development was the premise and basis of human's harmony development and human's harmony development was power of social harmony development. Harmonious development of society embodied man's pursuit of value of the harmonious development, that was, the all-round development of people. Materialism said that realizing the harmonious development of society surely required the harmony of man and nature, human and social, but in the end it must embody man's own harmony. Harmonious development of man's own was the final destination of man and nature, man and society and man and others. Harmony of man's own has broad and narrow sense. The narrow sense of people's own harmony included both labor harmony and the need harmony and body and mind's harmony. Just as Marx's words, the achievement of harmony of man's own was with a comprehensive approach which fully possessed his essence as a complete person.Marx's thought on social harmony was not a doctrine given to us, but the method. The key of grasping the essence of Marx's thought on social harmony scientifically and illustrating and guiding the construction of the harmonious society is to grasp Marx's scientific method of social harmony. The methodology of Marx's thought on social harmony included materialist principles, dialectical method, theoretical orientation and paradigm of social harmony in the broad sense and in the narrow sense referred to the implementation of materialist dialectics in it. The main method of Marx's thought on social harmony contained the overall social organism approach, the social criticism for community building and the harmony oriented dialectical method of social harmony. The social organism approach has been penetrated the Marx's thought on social harmony. By the structural analysis of social organism, reproduction analysis and historical analysis, Marx demonstrated the state of harmony as a whole from three levels which was the human's harmony as a whole, the overall social harmony and the historical development of the overall harmony. Marx's thought on social harmony was formed and developed on the basis of realization critique of capitalism. And the critical nature was the basic spirit of Marx's thought on social harmony. Adhering to the social criticism was the basic method of the study of Marx's thought on social harmony. The criticism of Marx's thought on social harmony was critical thinking and construction of the dialectical unity. From the macro point of view, social criticism was against the economic base and superstructure of capitalist society and at the micro level, it included the criticism of people, nature and social relationship under capitalist society's industrial civilization. The unity of humanism and naturalism was based on Marxist social critique of the construction of ideological principles of social harmony. The construction of Marx's harmonious society was built on the basis of the production public ownership economy and its target pointed in the "Free People" in communist society. In Marx's thought on social harmony, the criticism was the means and the construction was the ultimate value trend. The spirit of Marx's social criticism made a large misunderstanding of Marx's way of thinking. They believed that Marx's dialectical thinking was revolutionary and critical, but ignored the harmonious features of Marx's dialectical thinking. We can understand Marx's dialectical way of thinking of social harmony from two aspects. One was dialectical nature of Marx's thought on social harmony. The social harmony in Marx's perspective was the universal connection of the various element of society. It was the dynamic development of social harmony and the highest expression of identity of social contradictions. Second, it was harmony features of dialectic thinking of Marx's thought on social harmony. On the one hand, it showed off the establishment of "harmony" concept through Marx's thought on social harmony. On the other hand, it displayed the mode construction of relationship of the basic elements of social harmony, that is, from man and nature, the linkages between people and society which confirmed the general relevance of social development and build the whole social harmony based on the thinking mode of relationships.Marx's thought on social harmony is the scientific truth which has universal significance. Adhering to the guiding role of Marxism and properly using Marx's thought on social harmony to guide the construction of building socialism with Chinese characteristics force us that we must implement Marx's thought on social harmony in China condition. It is the need of continuous innovation by Marxist theory itself and also the reality of the requirements of construction of socialist harmony. Meanwhile, the traditional Chinese thought on social harmony provides a nourishing soil for Marx's thought on social harmony in China condition. In the 21st century, the CPC Central Committee proposed the "building a socialist harmonious society" strategic objectives. In the process of building a socialist harmonious society, the Chinese Communists creatively combine the Marx's thought on social harmony with the practice of social harmony in contemporary China and form the harmonious theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Scientific outlook on development, the thought of building a moderately prosperous society and the theory of socialist harmonious society are both the theoretical results of Marx's thought on social harmony in China condition and the performance of theoretical innovation of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The historical mission of socialism with Chinese characteristics is to achieve true social harmony and communist society by reform, development and innovation.
