Why should we carry forward the national spirit and the spirit of the times?

The significance of carrying forward 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 among the nations of the world 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.

(2) 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.

(3) The spirit of the times is the great achievement of the combination of the theoretical character of keeping pace with the times of Marxism, 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 the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Third, carry forward and develop the national spirit and the spirit of the times.

National spirit is the spiritual pillar on which a nation depends for its survival and development, and the spirit of the times is the trend and direction of the development of the times. Vigorously carry forward the national spirit and the spirit of the times, and provide spiritual impetus for the continuous promotion of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. As a college student, I think we should do the following:

(1) Enhance deep patriotic feelings. Patriotism is the core of national spirit. In the new century, college students should love their hometown in various ways, strive to cultivate strong patriotic feelings, and develop this patriotic feeling into patriotic feelings, with loving the motherland and contributing all their strength to the construction of the socialist motherland as the greatest glory and damaging the interests, dignity and honor of the socialist motherland as the greatest shame.

(2) Establish a sense of responsibility and cultivate the concept of citizenship. College students should think from another identity "citizen", understand the spiritual essence of "citizen country" and "national citizen", actively exercise their rights as national citizens, and fully participate in the decision-making, management and supervision of state and social affairs; At the same time, we should be brave enough to undertake the obligations of citizens, put ourselves in a big collective, share the same destiny, pay attention to the interests of others and listen to the voice of society; Be responsible for your words and deeds, without shirking or perfunctory.

(3) Establish a sense of competition, efficiency and innovation. The fierce competition under the market economy ultimately boils down to the competition for talents. Contemporary college students should abandon the negative thoughts of "moderation, equality and conservatism", "strike when it strikes", "dare to be the first" and "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" and do their part; Work and study stress efficiency, seek methods, assess the situation, make decisions, and master the ability to survive in competition and seek the highest point; Innovation is the core of the spirit of the times and the soul of national progress. College students should have the courage and confidence to break the rules, forge ahead and be brave in innovation.

(4) Establish the pioneering spirit of the times. Under the rule of small-scale peasant economy and feudal autocracy, people have long developed a deep-rooted narrow and closed traditional habit. With the deepening of reform and opening up and the increasingly close international exchanges after China's entry into WTO, an all-round and multi-level opening pattern has become the requirement of the times. College students should abandon the open-door view, absorb the outstanding achievements of the world with an inclusive and pioneering mind and a positive attitude, and enrich and expand themselves.

Take the rejuvenation of China as our responsibility, strive to realize the ambition of serving the country, increase the founding talents, and practice the patriotic trip. We should consciously carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, combine genuine talent and practical learning with the ambition to serve the country, make due contributions to the country and the nation, and realize the life pursuit of being a loyal patriot.
