What is the core of Chinese national spirit?

I. The core of the Chinese national spirit The core of the Chinese national spirit is the great national spirit of unity, friendship, diligence, courage and self-improvement with patriotism as the core. This is a high-level summary of the core content and basic ideas of the Chinese national spirit, which provides us with a correct guide to accurately grasp the Chinese national spirit.

Second, the content of the Chinese national spirit Jiang Zemin pointed out in the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "In the development of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, hardworking and brave, and self-improvement with patriotism as the core." This is a high-level summary of the core content and basic ideas of the Chinese national spirit, which provides us with a correct guide to accurately grasp the Chinese national spirit. In fact, it is a unified induction of national spirit.

However, as Hu Jintao pointed out, Theory of Three Represents is not only the fundamental guide for us to promote practical innovation, but also a brand-new starting point for us to deepen theoretical exploration. We should take Jiang Zemin's exposition on the Chinese national spirit as a fundamental guideline and a brand-new starting point, push forward the research and understanding of the connotation of the Chinese national spirit on the basis of careful study, accurate understanding and hard practice, combine the inheritance of the excellent national traditions with the reflection of the requirements of the times, and constantly enrich and develop the connotation of the Chinese national spirit.

The Chinese national spirit is a profound ideological system. Its core content (basic idea) is the great creative spirit, great struggle spirit, great unity spirit and great dream spirit with patriotism as the core. In addition, the scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts, the sacrifice spirit of risking one's life and forgetting one's death, the ethical spirit of respecting the elderly, the innovative spirit of advancing with the times, the entrepreneurial spirit of hard struggle and the harmonious spirit of harmony between man and nature are all rich ideological materials for us to understand and grasp the spirit of the Chinese nation.

The spirit of the Chinese nation is like the main theme of the pulse of national thoughts. Under different historical conditions and environments, it will form different movements of tragic generosity or high spirits. For example, Jinggangshan spirit, Long March spirit, Yan 'an spirit, Hongyan spirit, Daqing spirit, Lei Feng spirit, "two bombs and one satellite" spirit, flood fighting spirit, SARS fighting spirit, manned space flight spirit and so on during the democratic revolution. These different movements not only embody the main theme of Chinese national spirit, but also enrich and develop the main theme of Chinese national spirit.

Third, the significance and nationality of the Chinese national spirit.

Nationality refers to the psychological quality characteristics of national culture embodied in a specific national cultural type and existing as its basic core, and is the highest level abstraction of specific national cultural characteristics. National spirit is a nation's self-awareness, its members' sense of identity and belonging to its own nation and noumenon culture, a nation's will and quality with its own national characteristics and spiritual temperament formed in the course of historical development, and a concentrated reflection of a nation's values, ideals and ways of thinking. Compared with other national spirits, the spirit of a nation shows irreplaceable unique stipulation, which embodies the incommensurability of the spiritual characteristics of different nationalities, because different nationalities have different natural environments and lifestyles, and the unique cultural creation on this basis constitutes the historical foundation of the nation. Without the existence of a nation, there is no national spirit. Stalin pointed out in "Marxism and Ethnic Problems", "We must also pay attention to the spiritual characteristics of people who are combined into a nation. The difference between different ethnic groups lies not only in their different living conditions, but also in their different spiritual forms in terms of national cultural characteristics. " It is often said that American national spirit, British national spirit, French national spirit and China national spirit all show the national differences of national spirit.

The Times

The epochal nature refers to the epochal nature of the national spirit in its historical evolution, that is, the fundamental nature of advancing with the times. Any national spirit exists in a specific era and is closely related to politics, economy and culture in a certain era. Culture and spirit, in the final analysis, are the reflection of a certain social and historical life. As the spiritual pillar and motive force of a nation's development and progress, national spirit is always associated with historical tasks in a certain historical period. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the historical task, the nation should actively, actively and timely sublate, renew and transform its national spirit, make it reflect the new historical characteristics, grasp the new laws of the times, realize the combination with the new spirit of the times and become a new national spirit. National spirit is actually the accumulation and accumulation of "spirit of the times" in each historical period.

Historical inheritance

National spirit is a spiritual feature or ideology that comes down in one continuous line in the development of a nation. It is the spirit that a nation gradually forms, enriches and matures in its continuous development. It has always been connected with a nation's historical and cultural blood, and it is the product of the continuous accumulation and sublimation of national cultural traditions. The national spirit of any nation is closely related to its traditional culture. Marxism holds that people create their own history, not at will, but under the established conditions of inheriting the past, so does the creation of cultural spirit. Any particular national spirit "has the specific ideological materials passed on to it by its pioneers as the premise." The national spirit of different times is an inheritance of the national spirit of the previous era. The identity of national spirit in different historical stages and social forms is the basis of inheritance. For example, the modern Chinese national spirit is the inheritance of the ancient Chinese national spirit, and the contemporary Chinese national spirit is the inheritance of the modern national spirit.

Conscious initiative

Conscious initiative means that the national spirit can be conscious, introspective and self-conscious, thus denying and sublating itself. "The self-denial and renewal of the national spirit depends on the consciousness of the national spirit. If the essential feature of the spirit is freedom (freedom means that it can' self-regulate'), then the essence of the national spirit lies in its self-regulation, and this self-regulation awakening and consciousness is the consciousness of the national spirit. " The national spirit is not static, and it should be constantly self-denying and self-renewing with the development of social history. The consciousness of national spirit shows that the concepts and values generally recognized or recognized by national members are not necessarily national spirit, but the concepts and values that must be recognized and maintained are national spirit. Our Chinese national spirit is a conscious national spirit that has been sorted, refined and processed by intellectuals, especially philosophers, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Through continuous efforts, philosophers of past dynasties "promoted the national spirit from simple consciousness and the principle of * * * concentricity to theoretical form, thus deepening and strengthening the national spirit and moving from spontaneity to consciousness."

make public

Openness means that different national spirits have the fundamental nature of mutual communication, mutual introduction, mutual absorption and mutual promotion. Although the national spirit is mainly based on members' practice, it also absorbs the ideas, principles, thoughts and theories of foreign national spirit that are suitable for the times and social material environment of the nation and conducive to its survival and development. Of course, this process is full of mud and sand, and the cultural garbage that comes with cultural opening may be combined with the negative and backward factors in the broad national spirit. Excellent national spirit is both national and world-wide. It is attractive and infectious to foreign descendants of the same race and ethnic members of other origins, and it is an integral part of the world cultural treasure house. The openness of national spirit makes cultural exchange possible. There are both conflicts and integrations between different cultures. Conflict shows the relative independence and regionality of national spirit and culture. Integration shows that different cultures can communicate with each other and absorb nutrients from each other, which embodies the national spirit and cultural openness. When human history entered civilization from barbarism, especially the formation of "world history", the closed-door state of nations and countries was broken, and material production and exchange became worldwide, so the cultural spirits of all ethnic groups began to introduce, absorb and promote each other. In this case, the cultural spirit of any nation can't be closed all the time.
