Abstract：Common values of humanity is not only a value proposition put forward by the Chinese leaders in the new era to advance the major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, but also a new value system grounded in the materialist conception of history. It adheres to the fundamental principles, internal logic, and theoretical pursuits of the materialist conception of history. Common values of humanity are not purely theoretical abstractions detached from reality but rather value concepts generated through human social practice, distilled value consensus forged in material productive labor, value creations that align with the historical development of the world, and value pursuits universally yearned for by the humanity. This value concept carries profound theoretical implications of the materialist conception of history, inheriting and advancing its theoretical logic, fundamental perspectives, and lofty ideals, thus possessing a solid theoretical foundation in the materialist conception of history. Simultaneously, common values of humanity represent a value proposal put forward by China for the benefit of the human society amid the accelerated evolution of global transformations. It also addresses the prominent contradictions and challenges in contemporary human historical development by offering value concepts, policy propositions, and practical pathways with real-world relevance. This endows the materialist conception of history with new theoretical and practical dimensions, enriches and develops it, and revitalizes and demonstrates its enduring vitality in the modern era. Through inheritance and innovation, common values of humanity not only firmly rest on the theoretical cornerstone of the materialist conception of history but also exhibit historical rationality in guiding human value choices in the current era. Consequently, it points the way toward consolidating the greatest common denominator of shared values for the human society. China, together with people from all countries, jointly promotes and practices common values of humanity and advances the building of a human community with a shared future. This aligns with the historical trend of humanity’s yearning for and pursuit of a better world, follows the laws of historical development, and is a historical choice with unquestionable legitimacy. In the new context of accelerated global transformation, it is essential to adopt a materialist historical perspective to recognize the historical inevitability, historical determinacy, and value legitimacy of the shared values of all humanity from a deeper theoretical standpoint. This deepens the understanding of the profound ideological implications of “historical choice,” strengthens the historical confidence and initiative in advocating and practicing these shared values, and enables people to fully grasp their importance, feasibility, and practicality in thought. This enhances practical consciousness, allowing China to collaborate with people from all countries in jointly building a human community with a shared future and taking more resolute steps toward creating a more beautiful world, thereby opening new horizons.
