Abstract: The term “propositions for scientific socialist values” is an important concept in Xi Jinping Thought on Culture. This discursive innovation has deep historical and cultural roots. Prior to the May Fourth Movement, Marxist theory had not yet been widely disseminated in China, progressive Chinese intellectuals largely engaged with fragmented and scattered elements of scientific socialism in a vague and undifferentiated manner. Following the May Fourth Movement, the terms “scientific socialism” and “the scientific form of socialism” gained increasing popularity. Through comparison, differentiation, and distinction between scientific socialism and other theories, progressive intellectuals transitioned from a state of conceptual confusion toward that with more differentiated perspectives and clearer value distinction, thereby gaining an initial understanding of the value principles embedded within scientific socialism. From the founding of the Communist Party of China to the period prior to the new era, scientific socialism continuously evolved through Chinas revolutionary struggle, nationbuilding, and reform practices, with its inherent value propositions being progressively explored, reinterpreted and enriched. Since the advent of the new era, the concept of “propositions for scientific socialist values” has emerged in response to new theoretical demands. It has expanded the field of scientific socialism from the dimension of “values”, thereby deepening the understanding of scientific socialist theory.

摘要： “科学社会主义价值观主张”是习近平文化思想中的一个重要概念，这一话语创新具有深厚的历史文化渊源。五四运动前，马克思主义理论尚未广泛传播，先进中国知识分子主要是模糊、混沌地理解零星、散碎的科学社会主义。五四运动后，“科学社会主义”“科学的社会主义”的使用日渐普及，先进知识分子在其与其他学说比较、辨别、区隔中实现混沌式统合到视域分化、价值分野，初步认识到其中蕴含的价值理念。从中国共产党成立到新时代之前，科学社会主义在中国革命、建设与改革的实践中不断发展，其蕴含的价值观主张不断被挖掘、赋义与丰富。新时代以来，“科学社会主义价值观主张”概念在回应新的理论诉求中得以出场，这一概念从“价值观”维度拓展了科学社会主义的新领域，深化了对科学社会主义理论的认识。
