Since the class society started, human beings have not stop the pursuit of justice.As the reasonable standards for people to measure the societal system , the theme ofjustice is often oriented to the basic structure of society, which reflects thesocio-political and economic systems that divide citizens’ basic rights and obligations .At the same time, justice is not only a political goodwill, it also provides a reasonablevalue for the rule of law and democracy. So, justice is the moral foundation of the ruleof law and democracy. From the political philosopher John Rawls’s view, justice is notonly the most important value of the many values , it is also the standard to measureand weigh a variety of value, which is "the value of many values".After the birth of marxism, continuous theoretical exploration and revolutionarypractice with Marx, Engels, and other great educators of proletariat was not suspended.The scientific connotation of justice was gradually revealed, and the justice ofmarxism was formed. It with developmental level of social productivity as thefoundation, emphasized the historical reality of justice.
