What is the basic connotation of the spirit of the Chinese nation?

The basic connotation of the spirit of the Chinese nation: the great national spirit of unity and solidarity, love of peace, diligence and courage, and self-improvement with patriotism at its core. The great national spirit has always been the source of unremitting strength that inspires our nation to rise to the challenge, unite and help each other, and overcome strong enemies and difficulties.

When we talk about the spirit of the Chinese nation, people generally think of patriotism. From Qu Yuan, Yue Fei to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War and so on are patriots in the broad sense. Patriotism is undoubtedly a great national spirit, but it is not unique to the Chinese nation.

In fact, the United States and European countries have strong patriotism, even polarized into a kind of white centrism. The reason why people regard patriotism as the main characteristic of the Chinese national spirit is that the Chinese nation has been subjected to bullying, oppression and exploitation by foreign nations since the nineteenth century, and it needs patriotism to unite people's hearts and to strive hard for national liberation. p>There is no doubt that the spirit of the Chinese nation as a tradition has also influenced every contemporary Chinese. Any simple denial or affirmation of it will not help, the key lies in how to treat the Chinese national spirit critically.

The so-called critique is to distinguish, that is to say, to distinguish which is the essence and which is the dross, so as to remove the dross and take the essence. This is the true promotion of tradition. While promoting tradition, we should also face the world. The intermingling of Chinese civilization and world civilization (mainly Western civilization) is an unavoidable historical destiny, so we must learn from all the fruits of human civilization and enrich ourselves.
