Self-reliance is an excellent quality of the Chinese nation, and it is also a personality quality advocated from the very beginning in China traditional culture. Self-reliance is of great value for perfecting individual personality and promoting individual and social development. Cultivating college students' spirit of self-reliance is the only way for individual growth, development and perfection, and it is also the inevitable goal of higher education. As the main force in the future construction of the country, college students' mental outlook is directly related to the future of the country. Therefore, it is of great social value and strategic significance to cultivate the spirit of self-reliance of college students. First, the value implication of the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance of contemporary college students. The spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance that we advocate today has distinct characteristics of the times: First, self-improvement and self-reliance are independence based on self-awareness. As an adult, college students should have an independent personality. Consciously, he should be equal and independent with his parents, teachers, relatives and friends, and economically, he should have a contractual relationship without dependence and attachment. "Sweat and eat your own food." Second, from the perspective of civic awareness, self-reliance is a responsibility. Civic consciousness is a sense of responsibility, responsible for yourself, others and society. Third, self-reliance and self-improvement are open cooperation under an equal mentality. Self-reliance in the modern sense is not closed and introverted, but self-confidence and openness, and win-win cooperation. In the mutual relationship, we don't just ask for help or help others, but exchange our strength equally in the competition, so as to get the due results brought by cooperation. Fourth, self-reliance or innovative development with knowledge and wisdom as capital. College students already have high intelligence and basic knowledge. In the era of highly developed science and technology, simple manual labor is still the traditional way of self-improvement, but college students should be encouraged to use their knowledge, specialties and specialties to creatively develop themselves, realize their own values and constantly enrich the connotation of self-improvement and self-reliance. The spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance is of great value to college students, which is mainly reflected in the following four aspects: First, practical value. The improvement of practical ability is the sharpest weapon for people to transform the world, and it is also the basic condition for human survival and development. In the process of transforming and creating the world, and when college students face daily life, study and work, they will always encounter many unexpected or insurmountable difficulties. If you can't have the quality of self-reliance and self-reliance, but blindly ask for help from others or have the psychology of escape, it will be of no benefit to the improvement of college students' practical ability Only people with the spirit of self-reliance can give full play to their subjective initiative and creativity, actively create various favorable conditions, control and eliminate the negative effects of various unfavorable external environments and their own negative emotions, stick to the end, make full use of realistic conditions, overcome difficulties, creatively accomplish the purpose of established tasks, and promote and improve people's practical ability. The second is the survival value. In the current domestic and international background, competitiveness and development potential are the necessary conditions for a person to survive. Only college students with the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance can have a strong will, correctly understand the gap between themselves and reality, correctly treat setbacks, understand their strengths and weaknesses, clarify their pursuit goals, be down-to-earth, and step by step towards success with a high degree of consciousness and firmness, so as to gain a foothold in society, find their own position and adapt to the fiercely competitive society. Therefore, the spirit of self-reliance has important survival value for college students. The third is the development value. College students with the spirit of self-reliance can increase their consciousness, firmness, decisiveness and self-control, base themselves on reality, not indulge in fantasy and dependence, strengthen their ideals, persevere, work hard and remain optimistic when encountering difficulties, so as to achieve academic and career success, which has better development potential. Academic and career success can further stimulate and consolidate the quality of self-reliance and self-improvement of college students. Therefore, the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance is an effective driving force for the all-round development of college students. The fourth is social value. The spiritual quality of self-reliance should rise to a national quality and national characteristics. The Chinese nation with a long history has always stood among the nations of the world with the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. However, at present, China is in a special period of reform and opening up and transition to a market economy system. Multiple values interact and collide with each other, especially the impact of various bad ideas in the market economy. People's original traditional fine quality is being severely challenged and gradually diluted. If the Chinese nation wants to occupy a place on the fierce competition world stage, it must inherit and carry forward the spiritual quality of self-reliance, unite and unite the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to strive for self-improvement, overcome difficulties, realize the great goals set by the party and the state, practice the four modernizations, realize the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and realize the great goals of building a new socialist countryside and building a harmonious society. Second, the principle of cultivating the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance of contemporary college students. The university stage is a stage in which individuals are psychologically mature but not fully mature. This is the key stage to strengthen the cultivation of college students' self-reliance and self-reliance ability. Therefore, colleges and universities play a major role in guiding and cultivating college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, and the specific training should follow the following principles: 1. Guiding principles of education. The purpose of educational guidance is to convince educators by expounding some ideological theories, to persuade educators positively, to start with improving ideological and political morality, to convince people by reasoning, and to guide the educated to continuously improve their ideological consciousness in order to make progress in all aspects. Because the formation of individual self-improvement spirit is a long-term historical process, it needs to be continuously strengthened in the process of individual growth, development and education. When cultivating college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, we should pay attention to seeking truth from facts, put facts and reason, and convince people by reasoning; Pay attention to pertinence and be targeted; Respect people, pay attention to guidance and other basic requirements, and report through persuasion, education and explanation. Talk, discuss, debate, read books, read newspapers and other forms, and consciously guide college students to realize the importance of self-reliance and self-reliance, and consciously guide practical actions to become conscious and conscious behaviors. 2. Target incentive principle. The goal is people's expectation for the future according to certain subjective and objective conditions. Goal motivation is mainly to establish a feasible goal to stimulate and mobilize people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. To cultivate college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, we must establish a goal that is suitable for college students' reality, and take this goal as the guide to inspire college students to constantly strive for it and act for it, so as to continuously cultivate and establish the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance in the process of realizing the goal. The function of cultivating college students' self-reliance and self-reliance by using the principle of goal motivation is reflected in three aspects: First, goals can make people recognize the future development prospects, enhance confidence, stimulate the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, and form the internal motivation to achieve goals. Second, goals can make people feel a sense of accomplishment, from which they can see the direction of personal value realization and the value of future achievements, and form a certain incentive force. Third, the goal can only be achieved through hard work, and all kinds of obstacles and difficulties will be encountered in the process of realization, which is a test of people's willpower and thus helps to cultivate the spiritual quality of self-reliance and self-reliance of college students. 3. The principle of value clarification. As one of the most influential theoretical schools of ideological value education in modern times, value clarification is also of great guiding significance to the cultivation of college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. Generally, the purpose of ideological and political education in colleges and universities is to form values through evaluation process and value clarification, to help the educated clarify values through three stages: selection, cherish and action, and to promote the formation of unified values. Nowadays, with the continuous expansion of opening to the outside world and the in-depth development of socialist market economy, college students are also facing the impact of multiculturalism and values. In the changing social situation with diverse values, in order to promote the formation of the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance of educational objects, we must affirm and attach importance to the subject position of educational objects in self-cognition and development, and attach importance to cultivating their value judgment and choice ability. Under the conflict of diverse ideas, college students should be allowed to freely understand, identify and accept the quality of self-reliance, and abandon the secularized and vulgar concepts and attitudes such as "waiting for parents", getting something for nothing, opportunism and daydreaming. Actively use the correct world outlook, outlook on life and values to educate, carry forward and cultivate the spiritual quality of self-reliance and self-reliance. 4. Typical demonstration principles. Typical demonstration is a way to guide college students to improve their spiritual realm of self-reliance and self-improvement by showing typical people or things with self-reliance and self-improvement spirit. Educate through living typical figures or events, so as to arouse the thoughts and feelings of educators, realize the value of self-reliance and self-reliance, and consciously reflect the spiritual quality of self-reliance and self-reliance in action. Typical can represent the general, more prominent than the general. Advanced models contain universal characteristics and represent the correct direction and general law of the development of things. Typical power is infinite. People and things with recognized examples of self-improvement and self-reliance have strong persuasiveness, are the direct driving force to motivate and spur college students to make progress, and have a very realistic and intuitive educational role. The specific forms of typical demonstration are various, which can shape positive models or negative models; Can also shape the collective typical or individual typical, etc. In the cultivation of college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, we should establish more positive models and cultivate college students' quality of self-reliance and self-reliance with excellent character and deeds. 5. The principle of practical experience. The so-called practical experience principle refers to the method of training and cultivating the excellent quality and behavior habits of educational goals through purposeful, planned and organized practical activities under the guidance of educators. The principle of practical experience is a method that enables the educated to transform their subjective world as well as the objective world. In the process of cultivating college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, we should be good at using the principle of practical experience and establish the spiritual quality of college students' self-reliance and self-reliance through practice. When using the practical experience method, there should be a special person in charge to strengthen leadership; When using various methods, we should pay attention to choosing appropriate forms and methods for different objects and different situations; Should be carefully organized and planned, and strive to focus on the cultivation goal of self-reliance; We should be strict and persistent, so that the educated can gradually form a good quality of self-reliance and self-reliance through long-term practice and exercise, and become a powerful weapon to guide and dominate actions. Third, the ways to cultivate the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance of contemporary college students 1. Benchmark: Adhere to the integration of diverse forms of education. The cultivation of college students' spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance can not rely on a single form, but needs to integrate various educational forms, complement each other, cooperate with each other, and work together with the educated to achieve good results. First of all, we should build a dynamic and three-dimensional ideological and political education model that combines family education, social education and school education. Adhere to people-oriented, classroom as the main channel, campus culture as the carrier, network as the expansion, and cultivate college students' self-improvement spirit in an all-round, multi-angle, focused and step-by-step manner. Secondly, we must adhere to the organic combination of modern education forms and traditional education forms. We should not only rely on traditional forms such as blackboard newspaper, poster, broadcast, propaganda edition and report meeting, but also rely on vivid and fast modern educational means such as network technology and multimedia technology to carry out educational activities, such as building online moral education bases, online books, lectures and movies related to self-improvement, so as to subtly cultivate students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. Third, actively carry out interdisciplinary interactive education activities and effectively expand the sources of classroom information for self-reliance and self-reliance. For example, using the knowledge of psychology, history, sociology, education and other disciplines, we can understand that self-reliance and hard struggle are the important qualities of the Chinese nation's creation and survival to this day, so as to establish lofty goals, establish self-confidence, take national rejuvenation as our responsibility, persevere, stand on our own feet, enhance our psychological quality, and maintain a high-spirited mental state when encountering setbacks, overcoming difficulties and growing up healthily. 2. Focus: expand the social practice platform for college students. At present, college students generally show poor practical ability, which is mainly manifested in the lack of will and confidence to overcome difficulties actively and the lack of spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement at the ideological level. Therefore, it is necessary to expand college students' practical platform and cultivate students' practical ability in practical education. A series of organized activities such as holiday social practice, weekend public welfare activities and youth volunteer service can be used to guide and cultivate students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, and these activities can be linked with grades and rewards to arouse students' enthusiasm. Its purpose is to enable students to improve their labor concept, exercise their labor ability and cultivate the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance in the process of study, exercise, self-transformation and self-improvement. We can also cultivate college students' spiritual quality of self-reliance through frustration education. Frustration education means that educators use reasonable educational methods to help the educated treat setbacks correctly, consciously set difficulties and obstacles, and improve the psychological endurance and autonomy of the educated. Frustration should not be regarded as a stumbling block on the road of life, but as a kind of wealth to temper people's will and inspire them to forge ahead. Practice has proved that the implementation of frustration education is conducive to helping college students shorten the time to adapt to society, and is more conducive to cultivating their spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, becoming mature social people as soon as possible and being able to face all kinds of difficulties correctly. 3. Joints: Pay attention to the conciseness and edification of campus culture. College students are always in the tolerance of university culture, immersed in the spirit of university culture all the time, and subtly changing their moral feelings, values, behaviors and ideals. Therefore, the influence of campus culture on students is enormous and intangible. The standardization of campus environment can temper people's will and cultivate people's sentiment. Good school spirit and class spirit are more conducive to cultivating college students' spiritual quality of self-reliance and self-reliance. Colleges and universities should widely publicize the general spirit of independence and self-improvement of college students in some developed countries through the internet, newspapers and magazines. And introduce their efforts to be independent of their families and work to go to school as adults. It is suggested that colleges and universities stipulate that students must have certain working hours and social practice time during the four-year period, and record them in the archives. Colleges and universities should use holidays to organize students to leave factories and engage in industrial and agricultural production and labor in rural areas, so as to create opportunities for students to earn a living independently, increase their understanding of society, form a good school spirit and cultivate their spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. You can also carry out work-study programs to guide students to establish the quality of self-reliance and self-reliance. Cooperate with family education institutions and other companies, extensively open up ways of work-study programs, give them excellent quality education of "self-confidence, self-reliance, self-reliance and self-esteem", let more college students solve the problem of personal living expenses by themselves, help them establish confidence and determination to overcome difficulties in life and work, and make them stand on the society with the tenacious quality of self-reliance and self-reliance after entering the society. We should follow the example of advanced typical figures. For example, Central South University itself has a typical resource advantage of superior convenience. In 2005, Academician Huang Boyun and Academician Hong Zhanhui were both in our school. One of them created a scientific feat for the self-reliance and self-reliance of the country and the nation; One is to create the honorary title of "National Excellent College Students for Self-reliance and Self-reliance" for the ordinary contributions of others, which is a valuable resource for us to carry out self-reliance and self-reliance education. We can take this opportunity to build a positive campus culture and condense our excellent school spirit. As a class, we should also form a corresponding self-improvement class spirit and cultivate students' spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance from more concrete actions. For example, organize class students to study and discuss typical cases of self-reliance and self-reliance, carry out hard physical exercise, regularly carry out military training and field survival training, unite and cooperate, strive for advancement, and cultivate the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance through hard work. 4. Support point: improve the social service support system. The whole society should pay more attention to the cultivation of the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance, and attach great importance to self-improvement and self-reliance education as a basic education project. The national education department should fully reflect the requirements of self-reliance and self-reliance spirit in the basic objectives and specifications of personnel training. Whether professional education, the formulation of teaching syllabus and the organization of teaching help to cultivate and embody the spirit of self-reliance is one of the important bases for teaching evaluation in colleges and universities. In cultivating students' quality, we should attach great importance to the role of practice, encourage the establishment of teaching and production practice bases and various forms of social investigation activities, so that college students can participate in production practice extensively and get in touch with workers and peasants extensively, and experience the great power of self-reliance and self-reliance in practice and sublimate the realm of life. Establish an educational mechanism and mode of interaction among schools, families and society. Cultivate off-campus moral education bases, guide students to visit grassroots, rural areas, communities and other places, form horizontal communication and vertical contact, and make schools, families and society form a "trinity" educational network. In addition, in the name of the government, practical supporting measures are taken to stipulate that shops, enterprises, communities, institutions and other departments have the obligation to provide college students with opportunities for exercise, so that college students can have a stage for practice. Advocating parents to let their children bear hardships and stand hard work, self-reliance and self-reliance can become talents who can quickly adapt to society. 5. Direction: Enhance public opinion and value guidance. Give full play to the guiding role of healthy and good social atmosphere, and take self-reliance education as an important form of social education. At present, China is in a great era of building a well-off society in an all-round way, realizing the great rejuvenation of the nation, building a new socialist countryside and building a harmonious society. Social reality needs the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. Therefore, in order to integrate the cultivation of self-reliance into the construction of social moral system and the process of moral education in colleges and universities, we must give full play to the guiding role of society as an organism. On the one hand, the whole society should care about the healthy growth of college students, support the education of self-reliance and self-reliance, vigorously publicize and carry forward the main theme of the times through newspapers, radio and television, provide more and better cultural products and services for college students, cultivate their concept of mate selection and scientific life values, and establish the spiritual quality of self-reliance and self-reliance. In a word, it is a systematic and complicated project to strengthen the socialist self-reliance and self-reliance education of college students in the period of social transformation, which requires the full play of all sectors of society and joint efforts to promote the solid and effective development of self-reliance and self-reliance education. Fundamentally speaking, under the influence of the main force of education with school education as the theme, to strengthen the cultivation of college students' spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance, we must rely on the coercive power of the government and the public opinion power of social groups to govern the external environment in the process of college students' growth, provide a good external environment for their healthy growth and cultivation of self-reliance and self-reliance, and actively guide them to work hard and self-reliance.
