Abstract：

Marx's definition of the essence of human beings has three levels: labor or practice is the essence of human beings; The essence of human beings is the sum of all social relationships; Human needs are the essence of human beings. The essence of human beings is constantly generated in their practical activities, not singular, but diverse and colorful, just like the real world of human beings. We attempt to explore the realization of human essential power from the perspective of human essential power, not only by creating abundant material wealth, but also by creating abundant spiritual wealth and social relationships. This will inevitably generate new forces, new concepts, new ways of communication, and new needs, thereby promoting the comprehensive development of human beings.

Key Words：
