First, cultivate high-quality talents for building a harmonious socialist society.
The fundamental task of a university is to cultivate people, adhere to people-oriented, and adhere to the dialectical unity of people's natural, social and spiritual attributes. Since ancient times, China has advocated paying equal attention to "respecting morality" and "asking about learning", saying that "the way of a university should be clear about morality, be new to others, and stop at perfection" and "a scholar should learn to be a man". The idea of modern western universities is also centered on the all-round development of human beings. Einstein believed that "students leave school as a harmonious person, not an expert". These ideas all emphasize that the people trained by universities are not only skilled craftsmen in a certain field, but also have humanistic ideas, value orientations and spiritual pursuits based on professional knowledge. By mobilizing students' inner spiritual strength, we can guide them to think about fundamental issues such as "the purpose of life" and "the meaning of life", and then establish their own spiritual realm, and finally become high-quality talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, that is, "harmonious" people as Einstein said.
The basic characteristics of this kind of high-quality talents with humanistic spirit are firm political belief, lofty ideal and morality, complete knowledge and skills and diligent and responsible attitude towards life. In order to achieve this goal, universities should further change their educational concepts, adhere to the education of ideals and beliefs as the core, focus on patriotism education, take basic moral norms as the basis, aim at the all-round development of college students, and combine teaching with educating people to comprehensively improve and perfect the university education system. Therefore, colleges and universities should pay attention to the connotation construction including education, teaching and campus culture. Facing the grand goal of building a harmonious socialist society, they should strive to cultivate college students' consciousness of democracy and legal system, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, pioneering and innovative consciousness and the unity of man and nature, and cultivate a large number of qualified builders and reliable socialist undertakings with humanistic feelings, noble pursuit, professional skills, innovative spirit and all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.
Second, building a harmonious socialist society and enhancing the vitality of innovation
Innovation is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity. To build a harmonious socialist society, we must mobilize all positive factors most extensively and fully, give full play to all aspects of innovation vitality, and constantly promote economic and social development. As a concentration of knowledge, the cultivation of national innovative spirit depends on the pull of universities. The scientific and cultural spirit overflowing from universities and the creative people coming out of universities, with their own innovative vitality, spread to all corners of society, which will largely determine the innovative ability of a country and a nation.
Colleges and universities should take it as their responsibility to improve the national innovation ability. From the subject level, universities should promote the innovation of educational ideas, educational objectives, educational systems, educational management and educational contents. Deepen the education reform in an all-round way, change outdated educational concepts, update educational models, encourage students' personality development, create an atmosphere for the growth of innovative talents, advocate scientific spirit and innovative spirit, and promote students' all-round development. Establish an educational and scientific research team with innovative spirit and ability, strengthen the practical link in teaching, encourage the combination of scientific research and teaching, and encourage the promotion and driving role between teachers and students. From the object level, colleges and universities must base themselves on the strategic height of national economic and social development, focus on the strategic objectives of national development, focus on the main battlefield of national economy, find their own positions in various fields of China's scientific and technological innovation system, strengthen basic, forward-looking and cutting-edge scientific research, and strive to solve major economic and social problems with overall and fundamental characteristics, maintain China's sustained, rapid and healthy economic development, and continuously enhance the country's comprehensive strength.
Third, lay a cultural foundation for building a harmonious socialist society.
University culture is a part of advanced socialist culture. In the process of building a harmonious socialist society, its own cultural strength plays a leading and integrating role in the process of integrating with social culture. The cultural radiation of universities is constantly enriching people's spiritual world, constantly enhancing people's spiritual strength and laying a good cultural foundation for building a harmonious socialist society.
In the social and cultural construction, university culture has never blindly adhered to the nobility and purity of its "ivory tower", but bravely assumed the responsibility of social education with a watchful spirit and the attitude of joining the WTO. At present, under the situation of social ideological trend, culture and values, universities should strictly select, identify, process and integrate the long-term accumulated culture of human society with their unique value system, and accumulate profound cultural details. We should carry forward the innovative character of universities, extract the new university spirit belonging to this era, and make it become the cultural consciousness of universities and even the society, shape the humanistic spirit and scientific spirit suitable for the whole society, constantly improve the cultural taste of universities, further carry forward the humanistic spirit, scientific spirit and innovative spirit contained in China university culture, and let it serve the society and guide the social and cultural trend. Give full play to the bridge function of communication and integration of various cultures, integrate social culture with university culture, infiltrate the responsibility, spirit and educational function of universities into the cultural ideal and spiritual life of contemporary China, enrich and enhance the connotation and quality of advanced socialist culture, further prosper and develop advanced socialist culture, promote the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, resist and eliminate decadent culture, and improve the level of ideological and moral construction of the whole society.
Fourth, to build a harmonious socialist society, we must shape the scientific spirit.
In the process of building a harmonious socialist society, the scientific spirit coordinates the harmonious relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature. Scientific spirit is based on natural science and social science, including the spiritual realm of seeking truth from facts, exploring knowledge, advocating truth and being brave in innovation. As the birthplace of natural science and social science, universities shoulder the important mission of shaping the scientific spirit in serving the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
At present, in the process of building a harmonious socialist society, colleges and universities pay more attention to shaping the spirit of social science. This scientific spirit with humanistic spirit comes from the fine scientific tradition of universities. The two slogans of "democracy" and "science" put forward by the May 4th New Culture Movement, that is, while developing productive forces and enriching the country through science and technology, emphasize that science is to establish new ideas and new cultures and oppose the revolutionary spirit in the old culture and old ideas. It should be noted that at present, in the process of building a harmonious socialist society, it is still an arduous task to truly form an atmosphere of seeking truth from facts, respecting truth, opposing ignorance and superstition and establishing scientific spirit in the whole society. In education and teaching, universities should not only impart scientific knowledge on the level of technical skills, but also integrate scientific spirit into education and teaching, so that the educated should not only have scientific knowledge, but also establish scientific spirit and become high-quality talents with patriotism, high sense of social responsibility and humanistic care. It is necessary to popularize scientific knowledge in the whole society, carry forward the scientific spirit, advocate scientific and rational understanding of things, and form a good atmosphere of loving, learning, believing and using science in the whole society, so that the people can consciously resist ignorant and superstitious ideas, see through pseudo-scientific scams, improve scientific literacy and promote the continuous progress of socialist spiritual civilization. Adhere to the coordinated development of natural science and social science, vigorously develop philosophy and social science, give full play to the important role of philosophy and social science in economic and social development, form common ideals, beliefs and moral norms in the whole society, comprehensively improve the ideological and moral quality of all members of society, and provide scientific spirit for the ultimate realization of social harmony.
