What is the content of the national spirit of the Chinese people? __________________________________________________________________

The spirit of the Chinese nation is gradually formed by the Chinese nation in the long process of social and historical development, it is a reflection of the social life of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, the most essential and concentrated embodiment of Chinese culture, the cultural concentration of the way of life of all ethnic groups, their ideals, beliefs and values, the spiritual bond, support and motivation of the Chinese nation's survival and development, and the national innovation of the advanced socialist culture. It is the spiritual bond, support and driving force for the survival and development of the Chinese nation, and the national soul of innovative socialist advanced culture.

The basic connotation of the spirit of the Chinese nation: In more than 5,000 years of development, the Chinese nation has formed the spirit of creativity, the spirit of struggle, the spirit of unity and the spirit of dreaming with the spirit of patriotism at its core.

When talking 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 whitecentrism.

The reason why people regard patriotism as the main feature of the Chinese national spirit is that the Chinese nation has suffered a lot from the bullying, oppression and exploitation of foreign nations since the nineteenth century, and it needs patriotism to unite people's hearts and strive hard to obtain national liberation.

In addition to patriotism, people also believe that hard work, bravery, love of peace, indomitable, self-improvement and so on are various specific manifestations of the Chinese national spirit. In its 5,000-year history, the Chinese nation has indeed manifested these virtues. However, it must also be recognized that other outstanding peoples in the world also possess these virtues. That is to say, they are not the unique nature of the spirit of the Chinese nation, but the attributes of human civilization***, and can even be said to be the universal human nature.

Patriotism generally consists of five levels: love of flesh and blood, love of countryside, love of nation, love of motherland, and love of the world, which is the spiritual driving force of the Chinese nation's unceasing existence and cohesion, and is y rooted in China's long history and cultural traditions. The traditional spirit of patriotism is composed of the following: to return to one's ancestors, to unite the Chinese nation, to take responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation, to save the country and the people, to love one's country, to return to one's roots, to serve one's countryside and to serve one's countryside and to serve one's countryside.

The word "patriotism" appeared as early as in the book "Strategies of the Warring States"; Xunyue's "Han Ji" of the Eastern Han Dynasty has the saying "love of country is like a family". Confucianism not only pursues the ideal personality, but also diligently seeks the national character, placing the honor and dignity of the country in the highest position, and for the sake of the country, one can "kill one's own body and become a benevolent man". This concept of national character constitutes the real source of modern patriotism.

The spirit of the Chinese nation is a profound system of thought. Its core content (basic idea) is unity and solidarity, love of peace, diligence and courage, and self-improvement, with patriotism at its core.

In addition, the scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts, the spirit of sacrificing one's life for the sake of death, the ethical spirit of respecting the elderly and the virtuous, the innovative spirit of keeping pace with the times, the entrepreneurial spirit of hard work, and the spirit of unity between heaven and mankind and the spirit of harmony and harmony, etc., are the 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 melody of the pulse of the national thought, and this main melody will form different movements that are either tragic and generous or vigorous and exciting under different historical conditions and different situations.

For example, during the democratic revolution, the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Long March, the spirit of Yan'an, the spirit of the Red Rock, as well as during the socialist revolution and the construction of the Daqing spirit, the spirit of Lei Feng, the spirit of the two bombs and one star, the spirit of the fight against floods, the spirit of the fight against SARS, the spirit of human spaceflight, and so on. These different movements are not only the concrete expression of the main theme of the spirit of the Chinese nation, but also continuously enrich and develop the main theme of the spirit of the Chinese nation.
