What exactly do communist party's Trinity and Quaternity mean?

Trinity refers to the all-round development of socialist material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization construction and harmonious society construction. This shows the overall layout of China's socialist modernization. At the beginning of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Deng Xiaoping at the core put forward the strategic policy of attaching equal importance to the construction of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization.

The 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further clarified what is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's economy, politics and culture in the primary stage of socialism, and how to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics's economy, politics and culture. Since then, the overall layout of China's socialist modernization has expanded from the construction of two civilizations to the "trinity" of socialist economic construction, socialist democratic political construction and socialist cultural construction.

Four in one:

The four-in-one is the development from the trinity of socialist economic construction, political construction and cultural construction to socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and harmonious society construction. This is a new major breakthrough made by our party in the overall layout of socialist modernization, and it is also of guiding significance for future planning.

After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, the economy has developed, the people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the comprehensive national strength has been significantly enhanced. Relatively speaking, the problem of social harmony is becoming more and more prominent, such as social stratum differentiation, widening income distribution gap, especially between urban and rural areas, and widening industry income gap. There are complicated contradictions between different interest subjects and interest groups, especially the contradiction of interests, and the contradiction of material interests among the people has become an unprecedented complex situation.

It is more and more difficult to solve these contradictions and problems. Faced with such a situation, the harmonious development of society will naturally be mentioned in a more important position than in the past. Social harmony and stability is an important condition and guarantee for building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also an important goal and symbol of a well-off society in an all-round way. The goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way inherently contains the requirements of a more harmonious society.

Extended data:

As early as the first half of the 1960s, our Party put forward the idea of "modernizing agriculture, industry, national defense and science and technology, and building the motherland into a powerful socialist country". However, the four modernizations here are only the four main aspects of modernization, which does not mean that modernization is limited to these four aspects.

Socialist modernization includes not only the modernization of agriculture, industry, national defense and science and technology, but also the construction of socialist economy, democratic politics and advanced culture, as well as the construction of socialist society.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee clearly put forward the idea of building a harmonious socialist society, which shows that our party has paid more attention to social construction, social harmony, social fairness and justice for more than 50 years, and has a deeper understanding of the connotation of modernization. This will definitely have an important impact on the long-term planning ideas in the future.
