After the death of Marx

the way of interpretation and practice of Marx’s theory diversified. Marx’s thought itself also has a development process. In 1845

Marx’s intellectual inquiry had a "paradigm shift"

from the humanitarian philosophical critique to the exploration of the structure of human society and its historical development. When Marx’s theory traveled to China

it was at the time when China was searching a way to "avoid be perished under foreign aggressions"

so it drew attention as a new ideology that might enable China to get out of the development dilemma of the time. Guo Moruo and other Chinese scholars first tried to understand Chinese history via Marx’s theory of the succession of five productive mode. In this process

there has been a problem of coordination between macro theory and specific scenarios. This essay attempts to clarify Marx’s concepts of "slavery" and "Asiatic mode of production" and the historical reality of China. The thesis holds that re-recognizing the various interpretations of Marx’s theory and the practical experience associated with it from the perspective of cross-cultural and comparative intellectual history is an important field of contemporary Marxism.
