历史视域下“美好生活”的要素构成与基本特征

党的十九大提出了新时代社会主要矛盾的变化，并要求全党永远把人民对美好生活的向往作为奋斗目标。一部新中国成立以来的奋斗史、发展史和改革史，在一定意义上而言也就是一部中国共产党领导中国人民对美好生活的追求史。从前提性、标志性、本质性的三重维度来看，在不同的历史阶段，美好生活的要素构成也相应发生不同变化，呈现不同的具体特征。这一过程在实质上也是中国迎来从“站起来”“富起来”到“强起来”伟大飞跃的历史折射。

Composition and Basic Characteristics of "Better Life" from the Perspective of History

The Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the evolution of the principal contradictions facing Chinese society in the new era, and demanded that the whole Party always take the people’s yearning for a better life as its working goal. The history of struggle, development and reform since the founding of New China is, in a sense, a history of Chinese people’s pursuit of a better life under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. From the three dimensions of premise, symbol and essence, in different historical stages, the elements of a better life have changed accordingly, presenting different specific characteristics. This process is also a historical reflection of China’s great leap from “standing up”, “getting rich”, to “getting strong”.
