-on carrying forward the socialist core values

The prosperity of a country cannot be separated from the spiritual support; The progress of a nation depends on the growth of civilization.

We often say that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation should not only create miracles in economic development, but also write brilliantly in spiritual culture. In today's comprehensive deepening of reform, what kind of spirit can we glow to lead the ideological trend, condense knowledge and overcome difficulties? In the great struggle to pursue the Chinese dream, what kind of values can we carry forward to make our country, nation and people stronger ideologically and spiritually?

"Advocate prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony, advocate freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law, advocate patriotism, professionalism, honesty and friendliness, and actively cultivate and practice socialist core values." The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China summarized the value goal, value orientation and value criterion of socialist core values from three levels: country, society and citizens. These three "advocates" outline the value core of a country, the ideal of a society and the spiritual home of hundreds of millions of people, and inspire strong voices in the whole society.

Material poverty is not socialism, spiritual emptiness is not socialism. After development, China attaches more importance to spiritual beliefs, ethics and social customs than ever before, and has a strong sense of belonging to mainstream values and common beliefs. The heated discussion about "help or not" of the elderly who fell to the ground reflects people's cherish and anxiety about moral conscience; Education equity, employment equity and judicial justice have repeatedly become the focus of public opinion, showing people's attitudes and expectations towards social rules; The concept of building a modern civilized country embodies the ideal and pursuit of creating a solid sense of happiness for the people and making the country cast a stronger soft power. Life needs to be driven by faith, society needs to be guided by knowledge, and development needs value navigation. The guiding requirements of the three "advocacy" correspond to the requirements of the times at these three levels, which can be described as the general trend and the right time. This is the reason why the socialist core values have aroused heated discussion, generated recognition and gained popular support since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

History has proved that poverty, weakness and backwardness of a country and a nation are terrible, but what is even more terrible is spiritual emptiness. Loss of ideals and beliefs, no inner constraints, no scruples in behavior, no matter how many external demands, there will be "more thieves in law and discipline"; No matter how rich the material life is, it is inevitable that there will be "golden jade outside, but it will be defeated." In modern times, seeking the value core of the country, realizing the ideal of social unity and building the people's spiritual home are the goals of China people and the important connotation of the Chinese dream. In this sense, the socialist core values are the rudder of the dream of life struggle, the calcium of the Chinese national spirit and the soul of rejuvenating the country in contemporary China. From the perspective of the unity of knowing and doing, we should explore the beautiful moral will and emotion contained in everyone's heart, internalize the socialist core values into the consciousness of social groups and individuals, and externalize them into the code of conduct of groups and individuals, thus generating cohesion, rejuvenating combat effectiveness and consolidating the ideological foundation for comprehensively deepening reform.

Only when the people have faith can the country have strength. Integrating the education and publicity activities of socialist core values into the whole process of national education and spiritual civilization construction, connecting with the practical experience and great achievements of reform and opening up, and connecting with the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we can continuously form a broader value identity, which will not only help national development, but also cast souls for national progress.
