Utopia is a name for an ideal community, taken from the title of a book written in 1516 by Sir Thomas More describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system.The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempted to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature.He believes that private ownership is the source of all evil, it must be eliminated.
In the society of Utopia,the poverty and misery are all removed. It has few laws, nolawyers and rarely sends its citizens to war.
In the utopian world, the property is public, the people are equal, the implementation of the principle of on-demand distribution, the people wear uniforms uniforms, dining in public restaurants, officials are public elections.The money is Completely abolished,and citizens only doing work which they enjoy and which is for the common good, leaving them with ample time for the cultivation of thearts and sciences.
For example, Tao Yuanming ,the famous writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,wrote a novel:"Peach Blossom Spring".In his novels, the writer shows the ideal of pursuing a better life and the dissatisfaction of the real life through depicting the peaceful life and the free and equal life of the peach blossom.
Today utopia tends to have a much broader meaning. It is generally used to describe any imaginary, ideal society. Sometimes it is also used to describe today's attempts to turn some theory into practice. Often utopias are also used to denote certain good but unachievable (or almost impossible) recommendations, desires, plans, and the like.
In many cultures, societies, and religions, there is some myth or memory of a distant past when humankind lived in a primitive and simple state, but at the same time one of perfect happiness and fulfillment. In those days, the various myths tell us, there was aninstinctive harmony between man and nature. Men's needs were few and their desires limited. Both were easily satisfied by the abundance provided by nature. Accordingly, there were no motives whatsoever for war or oppression. Nor was there any need for hard and painful work.Humans were simple and pious, and felt themselves close to the gods.
