Labor is an important category of historical materialism,and Marx’s concept of labor is an important part of historical materialism.Marx raised the category of labor to the height of philosophy and found the key to understand the history of social development in the history of labor development.Labor is the most basic practical activity of human beings and the basis of human’s own and social development.The Twentieth National Congress pointed out that the Party should adhere to the people-centered development concept and continue to make efforts to improve the people’s lives,enrich the people’s sense of gain,happiness and security,and make new achievements in common prosperity.Based on the standpoint of historical materialism,Marx’s view of labor deeply summarizes the basic laws of the development of human society,points out that labor is the essential activity of human beings,and labor creates human beings and human society,and explores a path of labor liberation.Following the principle of consistency between logic and history,this paper studies and explains the historical background,theoretical origin,and formation track of Marx’s labor concept,especially the main content of Marx’s labor concept,and then makes a tentative discussion on the development of Marx’s labor concept in the new era,to deeply understand and grasp Marx’s labor concept,and to carry out great labor practice under the guidance of Marx’s labor concept,It is of great significance to devote ourselves to the grand cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.In addition to the introduction,the full text is divided into four parts:The first part explains the historical background and Ideological origin of Marx’s labor concept.With the rise of the European Industrial Revolution,machine production rapidly replaced the traditional mode of production.While the social productive forces grew,the social relations changed greatly.The feudal landlord class was overthrown,and the bourgeoisie became the leading force of the political system.With the continuous accumulation of capital,a new group-the proletariat was created.The proletariat also gradually stepped onto the stage of history as an independent political force.Influenced by the labor outlook of Classical National Political Economists,German classical philosophers and utopian socialists,Marx’s labor outlook came into being under the call of history and the times.Marx criticized the limitations of the predecessors’ labor view,absorbed the scientific part of it,and laid the foundation for the proposal of Marx’s labor view.The second part explains the formation track of Marx’s labor concept.This part,taking time as the thread,mainly combs the text materials of Marx in various periods,and divides the formation track of Marx’s labor view into three periods.The initial proposal period: Marx discussed the choice of labor occupation in his graduation thesis of middle school,and thought deeply about the real labor problems after working in the newspaper office;The formation and establishment period: Marx criticized the labor alienation in the capital society from the perspective of political economics and combined with the real labor problems,and studied the social and historical significance of labor from the standpoint of historical materialism;Mature development period: Marx deeply exposed the productive labor in the capitalist society,put forward a scientific socialist labor concept,made a historical review of the assumption of labor liberation,and thoroughly corrected the wrong labor thought.The third part explains the basic content of Marx’s labor view.This paper expounds the basic content of Marx’s labor concept from three aspects: philosophy,political economy and scientific socialism.It mainly discusses that labor is the logical starting point of historical materialism,that labor creates man and human society,and that the history of labor development is the key to the history of social development;Labor is the only source and creator of value,and surplus value is the value created and exploited by workers;Labor under private ownership is alienated labor.Only by eliminating private ownership can we realize the liberation of labor and thus the liberation of human beings.The fourth part explains the development of Marx’s labor concept in the new era.The Chinese nation is diligent in labor and creation.Our brilliant achievements are inseparable from labor.The labor concept of the new era is a labor concept with Chinese characteristics,guided by Marx’s labor concept and combined with China’s specific reality.The labor concept of the new era is prominently reflected in the three aspects of labor education,labor equality and labor happiness.It inherits,enriches and develops Marx’s labor concept,so as to realize the scientific guidance of Marx’s labor concept to the labor practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era,form a social atmosphere of everyone’s labor,equal labor,and labor to create happiness,and contribute to the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
