Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and the simple wish of the Chinese people over the centuries.Although Confucianism has not explicitly put forward the concept of “common prosperity” the theory and practice of getting rid of povertyand pursuing a better society contain Confucian expressions and useful explorations of this universal value of common wealth. Althoughthe current academic circles have paid attention to the connection between common prosperity and traditional culture the Confucianconcept of “why to realize common prosperity ” what kind of common prosperity to realize and “how to realize common wealth” have been discussed. The question of “how to realize common prosperity” and the philosophical mechanism underpinning itlack more in-depth discussion. Confucian thinking on common prosperity is more based on the perspective of moral philosophy whichhas three main points first it is to speak of humanism in relation to the Way of Heaven and to take the equalization of the Way ofHeaven and the principle of love and benevolence as the philosophical basis for common wealth second it is to adopt the way of moraljustice to realize fair and just distribution and to pay attention to the simultaneous affluence of the material and the spiritual andthird it is to emphasize the way of getting rich in a justified and virtuous way as well as the concept of common wealth that can helpthe whole world. These provide important ideological resources for us to promote the shared co-constructed and co-beneficial commonprosperity in socialism today.
