Introduction to Traditional Chinese Culture Review Materials

The Spirit of Struggle for Self-improvement In the struggle against heaven and earth, the Chinese people have never been willing to admit defeat easily, and have always been unyielding in their struggle. The Book of Changes summarizes this as "Heaven walks with health, and the gentleman is unceasing in his self-improvement. It is this spirit of self-improvement that supports the development of the Chinese nation and inspires the Chinese people to rise up in difficult times, to advance in adversity, and to never succumb to foreign oppression. Self-improvement is also embodied in the personality traits of self-reliance and self-respect, forming the national spirit of the Chinese people, who emphasize name and honor. As Confucius said, "The three armies can take away the marshal, but a man cannot take away his will." Mencius said: "rich and noble can not be obscene, poor and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not bend, these three is a great man." This makes people pursue an independent and perfect personality, and this virtue has been passed down to become the spiritual power of people fighting for the country and the nation, and promoting the development of the society.

From Yue Fei's "Laughing about drinking the blood of Huns" to Wen Tianxiang's "Leaving the heart of Dan to shine through the sweat of the green", this sense of worry is a kind of patriotic spirit. This sense of worry is a patriotic spirit, reflecting the noble feelings of the world for themselves.
