Carry forward tradition, cultivate virtue and gain new knowledge.

Teachers and students:

Hello, everyone.

In the long years, our motherland has nurtured mountains and rivers that are evergreen all the year round, and has also cultivated thousands of China people in Qian Qian. As a China person, there are many facts to be proud of. What makes us proud is our traditional virtues and national spirit. So the topic of my speech today is "Inheriting traditional virtues and carrying forward national spirit".

1. Patriotism and honesty

Lenin said: "Patriotism is the deepest feeling for our country that has been consolidated for thousands of years." Only by knowing how deep, can we love deeply. Mencius put forward that "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent", which can be said to reflect the integrity of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, many people with lofty ideals have set an example for future generations to safeguard the honor of the motherland and national dignity in patriotism. Such as knowledgeable Lin Zexu, Chen Huacheng who fought bloody battles in Wusongkou, Tan Sitong who was killed in the Reform, Sun Yat-sen who overthrew the imperial system, Lu Xun who left the cold face behind, Zhang Zizhong who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and countless * * * producers who gave their lives for their country all reflected this national patriotic spirit. They are the soul of the Chinese nation.

"No matter how poor my country is, I will fight for her and serve her." This is the voice of all patriotic scientists. Foreign scientists have returned to the motherland to contribute their wisdom and strength to the new China. Qian Xuesen is unwavering in the face of detention, house arrest and surveillance in the United States; China gave up the job that was heavily hired in the United States; Li Siguang rejected the suggestion of the British teacher that he should get a doctorate before returning to China. ...

The above examples of patriotism and honesty are permeated with the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and she is the spirit of the Chinese nation. However, in the history of China, faced with the temptation of the material world and the threat of power, there were many people who betrayed their friends for glory when they were young, and betrayed their country for expensive when they were older. This requires us to always put the interests of the motherland and the nation first.

2. Work hard and make up your mind

If a person, a nation and a country want to be invincible, they must have the spirit of striving for progress, and determination determines the direction of a person, a nation and a country's efforts on the road ahead.

"Zizi dyed silk, the contribution lies in the initial transformation" shows that a person's growth is closely related to childhood, and there are many aspiring young people in history. On the way to the Guangzhou revolutionary base, the great man Mao Zedong passed by "Qinyuanchun Changsha" written by Changsha, in which "Ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs?" It shows Mao Zedong's great ambition to take the world as his responsibility and fight for it all his life. Nineteen-year-old Zhou Enlai's Song of the Great River also reflects his great ambition to transform old China. Can be described as young and ambitious.

Where there is a will, there is a way. However, only by taking the people of the world, the people of the country and the people of the nation as the starting point and attribution can this ambition conform to the traditional national spirit and appear grand and lofty. Strive to be determined not only from the big picture, but also from the small things, from the self, step by step, on the road of life, constantly sharpen the character and complete the ambition. This requires us to be ambitious and work hard.

Three. Reform and innovation

Although the Chinese nation has been invaded by foreign countries and ravaged by foreign powers, it is the only great nation among the four ancient civilizations that can make its own nation invincible. There are many reasons, which are inseparable from the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation to conform to the trend of the times and be brave in reform and innovation.

Wang Anshi, known as "the reformer of China 1 1 century", faced with the present situation of poverty and weakness since the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, boldly put forward that "heaven is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, people don't say anything, and the earth is not afraid", which is in sharp opposition to the Confucian orthodoxy in China feudal society. Wang Anshi's anti-conservative and enterprising thought and bold reform and enterprising spirit made him far ahead of the times and respected and admired by future generations.

At the same time, the Chinese nation is a nation that is good at constantly absorbing the advanced cultures of other nations and countries and is brave in innovation. In modern times, in order to meet the needs of China's anti-aggression war and international exchanges, Lin Zexu organized the translation and collation of The History of the Four Kingdoms, which became the first systematic world geography work of China in modern times. When planning coastal defense, we should also first investigate the situation in the west, which has taken a solid step to break the long-term ignorance of the people in China and help the people in China understand the world and learn western skills. Until the New Culture Movement initiated by Chen Duxiu, he studied western "democracy" and "science"; Mao Zedong combined the principles of Marxism-Leninism with the revolutionary practice in China, which initiated the road of encircling cities from rural areas and finally won the national victory, reflecting the fine tradition of reform and innovation of the Chinese nation.

History tells us that to improve the quality of the Chinese nation, it is inseparable from the yellow land that nurtures and nurtures us, and it is also inseparable from the timely absorption of advanced cultures of other nations in the world. This requires us to forge ahead, dare and be good at reform and innovation.

Four. Diligence and integrity

Diligence and integrity are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. "Looking at the sage country before, from frugality to luxury". During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan brought national strength and economic prosperity, which was in sharp contrast with the ruin caused by the extravagance of Qin and Sui Dynasties. The ancients said: "frugality and simplicity are human virtues;" Luxury is gorgeous, and people are the worst, which shows that the attitude of the Chinese nation towards thrift and luxury is clear between good and evil.

Integrity means not being confused by money or material, not being moved by power, and being honest all your life. Yu Qian, who defended Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, said, "The world should be innocent.". He left the world with two kinds of naivety, one is "naivety" for the sake of the nation and the country regardless of personal safety; The second is the "innocent" style of being strict with self-discipline and being honest. Because of his meritorious service in defending Beijing, he was rewarded and promoted to rank and knight, but he resolutely refused. Later, when trapped in the property, he was a family member. Yu Qian's honesty has not only won the respect of the world, but also inspired today. We can see from him that the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation's diligence and integrity have been sublimated.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) respects elders and knows how to be polite.

Respecting the elderly means respecting the elders. Respecting the elderly is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Li Dazhao once said: "... I don't advocate that my son should be filial to himself, but I love my old man because he raised me, educated me and made great efforts for me." It is human nature to love my old man. " Today, respect for traditional virtues should be advocated and carried forward, which is the norm of citizens in modern society.

The Chinese nation has been a famous country of etiquette since ancient times, and our people have always had the traditional virtue of knowing the book and reaching the ceremony. The idioms and allusions widely circulated in history, such as "Waiting for an empty seat", "Giving charcoal in the snow" and "Visiting a thatched cottage", profoundly reflect this point. Being polite to others is a respect for others and a criterion for maintaining normal relations between people. Polite and polite people mostly put others first and society first. Being sincere to others is also a manifestation of a person's noble sentiment. Can those who are rude to their elders, rude to their friends, and rampaging in public places describe themselves as educated, educated, polite and civilized? In today's society, civility and cultural accomplishment are very important to a person and a nation. Material civilization has gone up, but spiritual civilization has declined. Is it compatible with a nation known as "the state of etiquette" and a nation undergoing modernization? Etiquette education for students is the key to improve the ideological realm and cultural quality of the Chinese nation.

Students, when you politely say hello to teachers, elders and guests; When you lend a helping hand to a classmate in trouble; When you learn to show filial piety to your parents; When you learn to cherish every grain; When you learn to "be lenient with others and be strict with yourself"; When you dare to admit your mistakes; When you are ambitious and down-to-earth, all you do is to inherit and carry forward traditional virtues and national spirit!

Let us be proud of having such a beautiful spiritual home, let our hearts inhabit and grow here forever, let our lives glow with virtue and spiritual brilliance, and let each of us be civilized, elegant, tolerant and graceful!
