Without such a strong driving force, the Chinese nation could not have lived endlessly in the past five thousand years. As one of the main cradles of human civilization, it has created a splendid Chinese civilization. Without this powerful driving force, it is impossible for the Chinese nation to flourish in the process of development, to integrate many ethnic groups, and to form and maintain the trend of unity and unity. This trend has been going on for thousands of years. Without this powerful driving force, it is impossible for the Chinese nation to set off a wave of reform and opening up, blaze new trails, keep pace with the times and open up a new era of national rejuvenation in the late 20th century, when globalization is developing rapidly and the pressure is increasing day by day, and the survival and destiny of the nation are facing challenges again.
Revolutionary spirit is the soul and backbone of the Chinese nation, and it is the fusion of the traditional spirit of the Chinese nation and the spirit of the times. I think the contemporary revolutionary spirit is an open and inclusive spirit. With the development of society, it has become a spirit of self-improvement, kindness, diligence, exploration, innovation, patriotism, honesty, struggle, reform and opening up. To further establish and carry forward the revolutionary spirit is the need to promote China's modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Revolutionary spirit is the combination of national traditional spirit and the spirit of the times.
Revolutionary spirit is the fusion of national traditional spirit and the spirit of the times. As mentioned above, the development history of the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present has proved its great vitality. The spirit of self-improvement is an enterprising spirit and a fighting spirit with strong tension. Ancient philosophers in China put forward the idea that "a gentleman strives for self-improvement" by observing the changes of the universe. Self-improvement includes national self-improvement and individual self-improvement. It is the true spirit of the Chinese nation not to be afraid of difficulties and hardships and not to yield to any oppressor. A history of the development of the Chinese nation is a history of continuous self-improvement, struggle against the living environment and internal and external evil forces. Self-improvement not only refers to the struggle in normal environment and prosperity, but also refers to the struggle in difficulties and adversity. Heroes of past dynasties pursued the strong passion of "being born to be a hero and dying to be a ghost hero" and practiced the perseverance spirit of "thinking about change if you are poor, and not falling into the sky" and "thinking about change if you are poor, and helping the world". Throughout history, there are countless examples of struggling in adversity. King Wen was arrested and played Zhouyi; Zhong You wrote Spring and Autumn Annals; Qu Yuan's exile is a tribute to Li Sao. Zuo Qiu is blind and has "Mandarin"; The ruler of the revised version of Sun Tzu's Art of War; It's not Shu, but Lu Lan. Han Fei imprisoned Qin, expressing embarrassment, loneliness and anger. Sima Qian was humiliated by corruption, but he was still angry and wrote history books, which was the first in biographical history books. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, lived together for ten years, learned from the scriptures for ten years, and finally achieved great things. Its spirit is a model for future generations.
The spirit of benevolence has a long history, and it is the criterion for our people to live in harmony. For thousands of years, through the tempering of generations of philosophers and sages, the idea of benevolence has been sublimated and condensed, which has become the benchmark and yardstick for the Chinese nation to build a moral building and has been widely recognized by the people. The spiritual connotation of benevolence is very rich. In the Book of Changes, the virtue of a gentleman is emphasized by "the terrain is rich and the gentleman carries things with virtue", that is, the spirit of "benevolence" is emphasized. It is said in Shangshu that "tolerance is the greatest", which also reflects the spirit of kindness and tolerance. What is "benevolence"? "Benevolence" means loving, being friendly and following blindly. Ask Ren. Confucius said, "Love". Zhang Ziwen is a native. Confucius said, "It is a benevolent person to be able to do five things for the world.". When asked, say "fairness, tolerance, trust, people and benefit". The basic principle and method of benevolence is "loyalty and forgiveness", so as to achieve "if you want to establish yourself, you will become yourself" and "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". The spirit of benevolence advocated by Mozi reached the extreme. Mohism advocates "universal love" and the harmonious realm of "all people in the world love each other", that is, "the strong are not weak, many are many, the rich do not bully the poor, the expensive are not arrogant, and the deceivers do not deceive fools". Mencius took compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong as the purpose of benevolence, courtesy and wisdom, which was a more profound exposition of the spirit of benevolence. In a word, the spirit of benevolence covers ten aspects: courtesy, tolerance, faith, sensitivity, benefit, wisdom, courage, loyalty, forgiveness and filial piety. This spirit of kindness has nurtured generations of Chinese sons and daughters, and has been carried forward continuously.
Diligence is a great force for our nation to settle down, create wealth and explore the unknown. Diligence is one of the virtues that our country always attaches importance to. According to the tradition of our nation, diligence includes diligence in study, thinking, exploration and work. Never put down your books and work tirelessly, which is called diligence; It is diligent to eat and wear warm clothes and make great efforts to govern; Very hard, very hard. Diligence includes two interdependent factors: diligence and hard work. You can be diligent if you are willing to work hard, and you can't do anything without diligence. "erudite and determined, good at asking questions and thinking." Diligence is good at diligence, but not good at playing. "There is a road in Lushan, and there is no limit to learning the sea." These ancient proverbs, which are widely circulated, embody the spirit of diligence advocated by our nation. Since ancient times, people have established their studies, made their statements, established their careers with diligence. Hanging beams and stabbing stocks, reeds weaving into three unique skills, fools moving mountains, etc. are all household anecdotes and legends. It is this diligent spirit that inspires our nation to struggle from generation to generation.
The spirit of exploration is a powerful propeller for the development and prosperity of Chinese civilization. Philosophers and wise men in China have regarded exploring the unknown world as an important purpose of their lives. This kind of exploration points to the laws and values of the universe, that is, grasping the essence and laws of objective things, understanding the value of life, and emphasizing the pursuit of truth and value through understanding things. It is considered as the starting point of self-cultivation and governing the country. Therefore, this kind of exploration is endowed with lofty significance. Therefore, Confucius "heard the Tao early and died late"; Qu Yuan is not afraid of "a long way to go, but a" top-down pursuit ",though he died without regret. In addition, this kind of exploration is not only "understanding the changes from ancient times to modern times while studying nature and human beings", but also the exploration in natural science and literature and art. Therefore, in the history of China, not only the ideological and political research is rich, profound and diverse, but also outstanding thinkers, philosophers and politicians have been produced, and many outstanding achievements have been made in natural science, leading the coquettish world for thousands of years. The fruitful achievements in culture and art are unique and colorful, and they are the treasures of world civilization.
The spirit of innovation is a great driving force for the continuous development of Chinese civilization. The Chinese nation is full of wisdom and creativity. The development of Chinese civilization is accompanied by China's innovations in politics, economy, culture, science and technology in the past five thousand years. Taking science and technology as an example, Robert Temple, a British scholar, pointed out in his book China, a country of discovery and invention under the guidance of Dr. Needham, a world-famous authority on the history of science and technology in China, that more than half of the basic inventions in the contemporary world may come from ancient China civilization. He listed China's 100 "No.1 in the world". Except for the "Four Great Inventions", almost all of them originated from China's inventions in modern agriculture, modern shipping, modern petroleum industry, modern meteorological observation, poisonous gas, guns, parachutes, manned flight, brandy, whisky, steam engine and so on. According to Dr. Needham, "From the 3rd century A.D. to the 3rd century A.D.13rd century, China maintained a level that the West could not reach". The innovative ability of the Chinese nation is universally recognized. Only in modern times, due to the rigidity of feudal system and the resulting weakness of the country, such innovative spirit was bound and suppressed. The establishment of New China has opened up a world for the development of our national innovative spirit, but the long-term mistakes in the left-leaning guiding ideology have weakened the great potential of this development to a certain extent. Reform and opening up have brought about great emancipation of the mind and productivity, and it is a beautiful spring for China people to give full play to their intelligence and creativity. In the past 22 years, China's innovation and development in ideological theory, science and technology, economic construction and other aspects are like lava eruption, which is unstoppable and has achieved epoch-making brilliant achievements, once again proving to the world the great creativity and innovation of the Chinese nation.
The noble spirit is a noble spirit between heaven and earth. Qi is righteousness and backbone; Festival, for righteousness, moral integrity. China's traditional spirit holds that human life contains value factors and is the carrier of life value. Life is precious only if it carries morality. Therefore, people with lofty ideals throughout the ages are based on honesty. Wang Fuzhi put forward: "Life carries righteousness, and life is precious"; "Life depends on righteousness, life can be abandoned" is the condensation of this spirit. Mencius' famous saying, "Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent", has become a classic yardstick of China people's honesty. Wen Tianxiang used his life to practice his eternal swan song, "Who will never die in life since ancient times, and keep the pure heart shining in history", and set up a monument to the spirit of honesty. Over the past five thousand years, many people with lofty ideals have emerged throughout the ages. They are either upright and honest, remain uncorrupted, and devote themselves to the people, or upright and upright, risking their lives to plead for their country, or being loyal to their country, or fighting bloody battles, or not afraid of danger and giving their lives for justice. Their lofty integrity shines brightly in history and shines for generations. It is this spirit of the Chinese soul that has pushed the Chinese nation to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, across the long river of history and come to today.
