Patriotism is the essence and core of national defense spirit.

Patriotism refers to loyalty and love for one's motherland. Lenin once pointed out that patriotism is a person's deepest affection for his motherland, which has been fixed for thousands of years. This kind of feeling is usually love for one's own nation, people, nature, culture, traditional customs and so on. The Chinese nation has a long history, and the spirit of patriotism formed over thousands of years is also the spiritual pillar of our country and nation. Our patriotism includes loving the excellent cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

Love the fine historical tradition of the motherland; Love the socialist motherland; Love the people; Love China * * * producer; Love the socialist system; Love the cause of socialist modernization and resolutely defend the independence, sovereignty and national dignity of the motherland. Patriotism is the essence and core of national defense spirit. A person who loves the motherland will hate all people and behaviors that hurt the motherland; Only in this way can we think and worry about the security of our motherland. The essence of national defense spirit is based on patriotism.

First of all, national defense is based on patriotism. People have personality and national dignity, and the reason why the state should take precautions is for the dignity of the nation and the interests of the country. Every inch of land is contested, and there is no end to humility. Excessive humility will lose the dignity of the nation and the interests of the country will not be guaranteed.

Secondly, the aggregation of national defense forces is based on patriotism. When the motherland is invaded by foreign enemies, patriotism is the highest aspiration of all citizens. It can summon millions of people to take up arms against the invaders, and all other domestic contradictions will become secondary and subordinate. Finally, the prosperity of national defense is marked by patriotic will and spiritual motivation.

Strong national defense is based on material, but the strength of patriotic will will also cause great differences in national defense forces. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the material foundation of the new China could not be compared with that of the enemy, but Chinese people's Volunteer Army defeated the US imperialist aggressors with strong patriotic will.
