Beijing spirit. What does this mean?

Patriotism is the core.

The behavior that is beneficial to the country is patriotism.

Patriotism is the core of Beijing spirit, which embodies the sense of mission and responsibility of Beijing citizens. The May 4th Movement, the July 7th Incident, the founding ceremony, the earthquake relief and the Olympic Games all show the centripetal force, cohesion and feelings of home and country of Beijingers who are concerned about the country and people, the development of the country and the mission of the times.

"Patriotism, as the first meaning of the spirit of Beijing, embodies the responsibility and responsibility of the capital and highlights the height and righteousness of the spirit of Beijing."

"When we put our inner beauty on our faces and show it in our gestures, we can generate an emotion and express our patriotic feelings." Gong believes that for ordinary people, patriotism is a kind of value, a kind of feeling for the motherland, which can be concrete, daily and popular. All people who are conducive to national construction are patriotic.

"Beijing's unique innovation resources and open and inclusive innovation environment have formed an innovation advantage." Huai believes that innovation is an important source of positive mental state and vitality in cities.

Nowadays, Zhongguancun has become synonymous with scientific and technological innovation in China and the source of strategic emerging industries, and its high concentration of scientific and technological intellectual resources is rare in the world.

There are 89 institutions of higher learning and more than 300 national key scientific research institutes, 86 national key laboratories and 32 national engineering laboratories. More than half of academicians of the two academies work and live in Beijing, and the number of headquarters of central enterprises ranks first in the country. 96 of China's top 500 enterprises have settled in Beijing, and the world's top 500 enterprises have set up their headquarters in Beijing. ...

Today's Beijing is a vibrant city with the most innovative advantages, innovative strength and innovative potential.

Tolerance is the characteristic.

Highlight the urban order and integrate into the international community.

Tolerance is the characteristic of Beijing spirit. With tolerance, Beijing culture can show a sense of richness. In the process of the formation and growth of a unified multi-ethnic country, Beijing has attracted and integrated the cultures of all ethnic groups in various regions with a broad mind and an open mind, and has formed a spiritual realm of embracing all rivers and learning from others. To build a world city with China characteristics, Beijing needs an open attitude and a broad mind.

Professor Yu Dan from Beijing Normal University

Yu Dan quoted the saying that "the first goodness begins in the capital" in Biography of the Scholars, and thought that tolerance is not only the magnanimous mind and tolerance of Beijing citizens, but also the inclusive thinking mode of municipal construction, and it is also the cultural characteristic and unique character of Beijing as the capital to respect differences and live in harmony.

The performance of tolerance lies in the institutional guidance and encouragement of establishing urban order. Beijing is expanding the coverage of urban public service system and social insurance system, improving the level of urban management and service, creating a good atmosphere to encourage innovation and competition and tolerate failure, and forming a multi-faceted pattern of inclusive civic literacy and inclusive urban spirit.

At the same time, tolerance is an urban attitude that integrates with international standards. UN-HABITAT once proposed "inclusive city", that is, everyone, regardless of wealth, gender, age, race or religious belief, can take advantage of the opportunities provided by the city to participate in productive activities.

By this standard, Beijing has become one of the most open cities in the region. It is reflected in the positive evaluation of the influence and contribution of the foreign population, social care for the vulnerable groups, and the selection of diverse talents. "New citizens" have expanded from different regions to immigrants from different nationalities and even different countries.

Virtue is quality.

"Being moral is the best and being moral is the first" has created a new fashion.

Virtue is the quality of Beijing spirit. History has not only endowed Beijing with splendid cultural heritage, but also cultivated the civilized and polite character of Beijing citizens. In the future, Beijing will promote the construction of the socialist core value system, carry forward the moral fashion of honesty, friendship, mutual assistance and dedication, and show the inherent character of humanistic Beijing.

Yan Chongnian, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said.

Virtue is the soul of Peking man's traditional spirit and the spirit of setting an example first. It is a generous virtue to tolerate all people, everything and everything. Being moral is the best, and doing things first. This is the past, present and future quality of Beijing spirit.

Yan Chongnian explained that virtue was first seen in the Book of Changes, the first of China's Thirteen Classics. "Yi Xiang Kun" said: "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality." Today, virtue mainly has two meanings, one is daily moral cultivation, and the other is lofty and broad-minded.

As the saying goes, "There are many old cases in Beijing". Daily moral cultivation is the display of Beijing people's moral spirit. Pay attention to kindness, friendliness, fraternity, mutual assistance, etiquette, filial piety, honesty, commitment, dedication, public welfare, group and humility. Cultivate personal morality, family virtue, professional ethics and social morality.

Confucianism takes "the way of university, in which virtue is obvious" as the program of "university", while Taoism takes "virtue" as the classic name of Tao Te Ching, both of which emphasize and cherish virtue. Virtue is the spiritual soul of China culture, and it is also condensed in the spiritual character of Beijingers.

Our country is in the period of social transformation, and it is especially necessary to advocate "respecting morality" and form a new trend of social morality: respecting morality in all things, in ancient and modern times, and everywhere.
