The present disclosure discloses a clothes lifting device for the washing machine and a drum washing machine, the clothes lifting device (32) for the washing machine includes a lifting shell (3201), which is internally provided with an open cavity; a lifting base body (3208), which covers the open end of the lifting shell (3201) in a sealing mode to form an accommodating chamber; and an inlet water filtering portion, which is arranged on the lifting shell (3201) and/or the lifting base body (3208) to communicate with the accommodating cavity and is used for filtering inlet water of the accommodating cavity, and a centrifugal drainage assembly is arranged in the accommodating chamber, an initial state of the centrifugal drainage assembly is a closed state, and the centrifugal drainage assembly is opened for drainage under an action of centrifugal force. The accommodating chamber where the centrifugal drainage assembly is located becomes an area independent of the interior of the inner drum (17), the area is kept communicating with the inner drum (17) through the water inlet filtering portion and can effectively filter the thread scraps, the centrifugal drainage assembly is located in an environment without the thread scraps or with few thread scraps, the possibility of attachment of the thread scraps is fundamentally avoided, and the working reliability of the centrifugal drainage assembly is effectively ensured.
