As a Chinese, what can be proud of?

Our motherland has nurtured evergreen mountains and rivers, as well as millions of Chinese people over the long years. As a Chinese, there are too many things to be proud of. Let us feel proud and proud of our traditional virtues and national spirit.

I. Patriotism, temperament

Lenin said: "Patriotism is the consolidation of thousands of years to their own motherland, one of the deepest feelings." Only the depth of knowledge can love. Mencius put forward the "rich and noble can not be obscene, poor and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not be bent", can be said to be a centralized embodiment of the Chinese national temperament. Throughout the ages, how many men of benevolence and ambition have set an example for future generations in terms of patriotism in order to safeguard the honor of the motherland and the dignity of the nation. Such as the insightful Lin Zexu, blood stained Wusongkou Chen Huacheng, Tan Sitong was killed, overthrowing the empire of Sun Yat-sen, Lu Xun, anti-Japanese dedication of Zhang Zizhong, as well as countless for the country's sacrifice **** Producers have embodied the spirit of this patriotic spirit of the nation, they are the soul of the Chinese nation.

"The motherland is poorer, I have to fight for her and serve her." This is the voice of all patriotic scientists. Foreign scientists have returned to their motherland to contribute their wisdom and strength to the new China. Qian Xuesen in the face of the U.S. side of the imprisonment, house arrest, surveillance, unwavering; Hua Luogeng gave up in the United States was heavily employed; Li Siguang rejected the British teacher to let him take a doctoral degree and then return to his country's exhortations ......

All of the above patriotism and temperament of the example of the Chinese people permeated with the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, she is the Chinese nation's The spirit of the Chinese nation. However, in the face of the temptation of the material world and the power of the Chinese history, there are many people who sell their friends to seek honor and glory, or sell their country to seek glory. This requires that we always take the interests of the motherland and the nation as our top priority.

II. Endeavor, ambition

A person, a people, a nation, a country to be invincible, must have the spirit of upward mobility, and ambition and determines a person, a people, a country in the way forward in the direction of the efforts of the country.

"The hacking and dyeing of silk, work in the first transformation" shows that the growth of a person and his teenage years have a close relationship, history of young people with great aspirations are not lacking. Mao Zedong, a great man of the generation, went to the revolutionary base in Guangzhou, passed through Changsha and wrote "Qinyuanchun - Changsha", which "asked the vast expanse of land, who is the master of the sinking and floating?" It shows Mao Zedong's ambition to take the world as his own and to fight for it for the rest of his life. The nineteen-year-old Zhou Enlai's "Turning East after the Song of the Great River" also reflects his ambitious ambition to transform old China. It can be said that the young man's ambition is overriding.

Where there's a will, there's a way. But this will only have to the people of the world, to the country for the starting point, for the belonging, only in line with the traditional national spirit, in order to grand and noble. Endeavor to set up the will not only from the big picture, but also from the small place to start, starting from the self, one step at a time, in the life of the way to continually sharpen the drill, complete the big ambition. This requires us to have a swan's will, and strive for excellence.

III. Reform, innovation

The Chinese nation has suffered from foreign invasions and the ravages of the powers, but she is the only one of the four ancient civilizations to maintain their own national invincibility of the great nation. There are many reasons for this, among which the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of following the trend of the times and the courage to reform and innovate are inseparable.

Hailed as "China's eleventh-century reformer" Wang Anshi, in the face of poverty and weakness since the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, boldly put forward the "change of the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to the law, the people do not have enough to worry about," and the Confucian orthodoxy of feudal society in China is what? Wang Anshi's opposition to old-fashioned thinking and Wang Anshi this opposition to the old, the courage to forge ahead with the idea and the bold change of law, the spirit of the courage to move forward, so that he is greatly ahead of the times, for future generations to admire and respect.

The Chinese people are also good at absorbing the advanced culture of other nations and countries, and are willing to innovate. Modern Lin Zexu from China's anti-aggression war and the need for international exchanges, the organization translated and collated into the "four continents", China's first modern comparative system of world geography books. When planning for sea defense, he also started to investigate the western situation, which was a solid step to break the closed and ignorant state of the Chinese people to the outside world for a long time, and for the Chinese people to know the world and to learn the long skills of the west. Until Chen Duxiu started the New Culture Movement, learning from Western "democracy" and "science"; Mao Zedong combined the principles of Marxism-Leninism with the practice of the Chinese Revolution, creating a path of encircling the city in the countryside and finally seizing the victory of the whole country, all of them reflected the reform of the Chinese nation, The Chinese people's fine tradition of reform and innovation is embodied in all of these.

History tells us that in order to improve the quality of the Chinese nation, we can't do it without the yellow land that nurtures and feeds us, and we can't do it without absorbing the advanced cultures of other nations in the world. This requires us to forge ahead, dare and good at reform and innovation.

IV. Diligence and thrift, integrity

Diligence and thrift, integrity is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. "All through the past sage country and family, into by hard work and thrift broken by luxury". The Han and Tang dynasties, the reign of Wenjing, the reign of Zhenguan diligence, thrift, brought the strength of the country, economic prosperity, and the former Qin Sui's extravagance led to the downfall of the formation of a strong contrast. The ancient saying: "Thrift and simplicity are the virtues of man; extravagance and splendor are the great evils of man" indicates the distinctive good and evil attitudes of the Chinese people towards thrift and extravagance.

Not for money or material confusion, not for the power to move, lifelong integrity, clean and honest temperament, which is integrity. Yu Qian in the defense of Ming Beijing, "to leave innocence on earth." He left two kinds of innocence on earth, one is for the nation for the country regardless of personal safety and security of the "innocence" of the heart; the second is usually strict integrity, honesty and integrity of the "innocence" of the wind. As a result of the defense of Beijing, he was rewarded with an official title, but he was resolutely resigned, after being slandered and copied when the family is a family of four. Yu Qian's righteousness, both sleeves clean, not only won the world's respect, in today's deep inspiration. From him, we can see the Chinese people's traditional virtues of thrift, honesty and integrity have been sublimated.

V. Respect for the elders, know the etiquette

Respect for the elders that is, respect for the elders. Respect for elders is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Li Dazhao once said: "...... I do not advocate the son of their own filial piety , but I love their own old man, because he raised me, educated me, for me to pay a lot of effort, love their own old man this is the common sense of man". And today the traditional virtues of respect for the long should be promoted and carried forward, this is a modern society citizens should be the style.

The Chinese people since ancient times and is known as a state of etiquette, our people have never had the traditional virtues of knowledge and etiquette. "The idioms and allusions to treating each other with courtesy, such as "waiting at a banquet", "Cheng Men Li Xue" and "San Gu Yu", have been widely recited throughout history, y reflecting this. this point. Being polite and courteous to others reflects respect for others and is a guideline for maintaining normal relationships. Most people who know and speak politely put others and society first. Can sincerely treat people is also a person's noble character performance. Ask those who speak out against elders, rude to friends, public **** place rampage, can reflect a cultured, educated, polite, civilized people? Today's society, civilized manners, cultural literacy for a person a nation is crucial. Is the fact that material civilization has gone up but spiritual civilization has declined compatible with a nation known as the "State of Manners" and a nation undergoing modernization and construction? To educate students on civilization and manners is the key to improving the ideological and cultural quality of the Chinese nation.

Students, when you greet your teachers, elders and guests courteously; when you have difficulties in reaching out to students; when you learn to express their own filial piety to their parents; when you learn to cherish every grain of food; when you learn to "lenient to treat others, strict in self-discipline," when you dare to admit their own mistakes; when you aspire to a high level of ambition and Down to earth when ...... you do everything, are not in inheritance and carry forward the traditional virtues and national spirit!

Let's be proud of having such a beautiful spiritual home, let our hearts always inhabit and grow here, let our lives glow with virtues and spirituality, and let each of us be civilized, elegant, dignified and graceful!
