Abstract:: Based on the ideas and theories of scientific socialism, Marx and Engels developed a series of classic propositions on the integration of education and productive labor. These propositions exhibit the following five fundamental characteristics: (1）Based on large-scale capitalist industrial production, they primarily focus on the issues related to workers' labor; (2）targeting specific groups, they focus on the education of the working class and their children; (3）highlighting specific content, their discussion revolves around the educational content and the educational idea of comprehensive development; (4）based on the bidirectional proposition of education and productive labor, they elaborate on the dialectical relationship between education and productive labor; (5）based on the division of strategic stages, they develop the idea of integrating education with labor in a socialist society.
