Abstract: Green productivity is the green essence of new quality productivity, the practical innovation of high-quality development, and the productivity paradigm of building a beautiful China. The dynamic evolution of“natural productivity -- social productivity -- green productivity”marks a brand new theoretical form of the factor hierarchy of the productivity system under the new historical conditions. The green lifestyle is the confirmation of the value orientation of green productivity, clarifying the ecological endowment of real people, the ecological orientation of comprehensive human development, and the ecological interaction of green productivity. In the historical field of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, green productivity logically demonstrates the coordinated development of laborers, labor objects, and labor tools, and dialectically presents the ontological orientation of people’s happy life and beautiful ecological environment. The construction of ecological civilization is the establishment of a practical approach for green productivity, which must achieve an organic connection and virtuous cycle of“sensible”principles,“tangible”construction, and “effective” beauty. Elucidating green productivity can not only deeply grasp the theoretical methods of building ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics in the new era, but also help promote the practical vision of building a beautiful China.

Key words: green productivity, natural productivity, social productivity, people’s stance
