Abstract: Promoting the coordinated development of material and culturalethical advancement is a distinctive hallmark and an inherent requirement of the Chinese path to modernization. Reflecting from the perspective of the Chinese path to modernization on the threefold premises for the coordinated development of material and cultural-ethical advancement is of considerable significance. The theoretical premise clarifies the dialectical relationship of “unbalanced unity” between material and culturalethical advancement, and elucidates the conceptual connotations of the two and the logic of their interaction. The historical premise, in light of the stage-by-stage leaps by which the Chinese path to modernization has moved from catching up to keeping pace and on to leading, traces the practical forms and the inherent laws of evolution of the coordinated development of material and culturalethical advancement under different historical conditions. The value premise anchors itself in the fundamental goal of wellrounded human development and provides a normative benchmark for evaluating how effectively material and culturalethical development have progressed together. The three premises respond in turn to the three foundational questions of conceptual definition, historical evolution, and ultimate value orientation, and together build a complete framework of theoretical analysis for understanding the coordinated development of material and culturalethical advancement.
