First, correctly grasp the scientific connotation of the national spirit and the spirit of the times;
National spirit is the sum of national consciousness, national psychology, national character and national temperament formed by a nation in long-term social practice. It is an inherent and continuous historical and cultural tradition in national culture and the most essential and concentrated embodiment of national culture. In the development of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, hard-working and brave, and self-improvement with patriotism as the core. The national spirit with patriotism as the core is rooted in China's excellent national cultural tradition and integrated with the excellent revolutionary tradition formed by our party leading the people in the long-term revolution, construction and reform. It is deeply cast in our national consciousness, national character and national temperament, and it is cast in the vitality, cohesion and creativity of our nation. It has become the value orientation and source of strength for people of all ethnic groups to unite as one and work together.
The spirit of the times is that China has entered a new era. In the great struggle of contemporary China people, we have constantly cultivated, accumulated and formed the great spirit of keeping pace with the times, pioneering, seeking truth and being pragmatic, and courageously striving for the first place with reform and innovation as the core. The spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core is the great achievement of the combination of the theoretical character of Marxism advancing with the times, the enterprising ideological character of the Chinese nation and the practice of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. It has been deeply integrated into all aspects of China's economic, political, cultural and social construction, and has become a powerful spiritual force for people of all ethnic groups to constantly create a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Second, scientifically understand the relationship between the national spirit and the spirit of the times;
The national spirit and the spirit of the times are actually complementary and compatible, and no one can do without anyone. They can form a complementary and compatible relationship in the process of unification. The spirit of the times is inseparable from the national spirit, because any kind of spirit of the times is always embodied in a specific nation and country and in a very specific ethnic group. However, any nation has its own national spirit. When the spirit of the times is embodied in the national spirit, it must be related to the national spirit and must adapt to the characteristics of the nation itself. It will inevitably brand the national spirit with the spirit of the times, and the national spirit needs to be enriched with the spirit of the times. The development of national spirit is supplemented by the spirit of the times. In the process of national development, the progressive thoughts and trends representing the times are constantly absorbed, accepted and solidified by the nation, and finally become their own thoughts.
Third, the significance of carrying forward and cultivating the national spirit and the spirit of the times:
1, the national spirit and the spirit of the times are the spiritual support for a nation to stand on its own feet in the world's national forest and continue to survive and develop. Grasping the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core will grasp the essence of the socialist core value system.
