Abstract:

The realization of common prosperity is inseparable from the guiding values of culture. China’s traditional culture contains rich genes for common prosperity but they are bound with a small-scale peasant economic foundation and feudal hierarchy. These cultural genes are difficult to transfer into the reality of common prosperity in a traditional society. Western culture started the historical process of seeking national prosperity and strength through modernization. The inherent contradictions of capitalist civilization not only failed to bring the prospect of common prosperity but exacerbated the polarization between rich and poor. Marxism is the only scientific guide to common prosperity, from ideal vision to objective reality. As a loyal practitioner of Marxism, the Communist Party of China journeys on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics to common prosperity through promoting the Sinicization of Marxism. This will help Chinese and Western cultures alike to realize the transcendence of common prosperity in terms of value position, an ideal realm, and spiritual pedigree.

Key words: common prosperity, cultural logic, traditional culture, modernity, sinicization of Marxism
