Cross traditional culture

Patriotism is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the core of our national spirit. Patriotism education should not only seek the source from historical wealth, but also reflect the distinctive times and highlight the contemporary value of patriotism. Patriotism is a historical category, which not only embodies the national tradition, but also has the characteristics of the times. Patriotism education in colleges and universities must strengthen the sense of identity and belonging to national culture. Culture is the immortal soul and blood foundation of a country and a nation, and it is also an important standard for China to identify with the country for many years. Comrade Hu pointed out in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "We should vigorously carry forward the spirit of patriotism." "The national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core inspire fighting spirit." The Chinese nation is a great nation, with a glorious tradition of "patriotism as home" and "patriotism as hunger". Patriotism runs through the history of our great nation and is always a banner that unites, mobilizes and inspires the people of the whole country to work together and advance together. It is a great force to promote China's social and historical progress, and it is also the spiritual pillar of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "We must carry forward the spirit of patriotism and improve national self-esteem and self-confidence, otherwise, we cannot build socialism." He also earnestly warned us: "If China does not respect itself, China will not stand, national dignity will be lost, and the relationship will be too great. Any leader in China who makes a mistake on this issue will collapse, and the people of China will not forgive him! " Patriotism and national cohesion in an open environment and perspective are the source for a country and a nation to enhance their international competitiveness and truly move towards prosperity. It is always based on national self-confidence and national spirit independence in national culture. Only by maintaining the uniqueness of the nation can we maintain an independent and distinct self in the blending of world cultures and find the spiritual pillar of unity and forge ahead of all ethnic groups in the process of modernization. Therefore, patriotism education in colleges and universities must pay full attention to guiding teachers and students to deeply understand the unique charm and value of China's traditional culture, inherit and carry forward the great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, diligence and courage, and self-improvement, and further enhance national self-esteem, self-confidence, pride and sense of belonging. Lenin once said: "Patriotism is a person's deepest feelings for his motherland, which have been fixed for thousands of years." This feeling is often reflected in the lofty integrity of serving the motherland and the people wholeheartedly and going through fire and water, even if it is shattered. At the same time, it is also manifested in people's concern about the country's political and historical development, their anxious attitude and simple feelings in daily life. Looking back at the history of our country, we can clearly see that the banner of patriotism not only arouses, gathers and guides a batch of national heroes who advance wave after wave, but also makes generations forge ahead in unity and struggle hard under the banner of patriotism, so that our nation, which has been full of worries, has not been discouraged and suffered setbacks after five thousand years of history, and finally established such a powerful new China today. "Poems express ambition, songs express ambition, and texts express Tao". China's excellent traditional culture has played an important role as a carrier and hub in cultivating, expressing and containing the patriotic feelings and ambition of national elites in past dynasties. The profound knowledge that runs through Changhong and comes down in one continuous line is even more lingering, and there are countless examples: in ancient times, Qu Yuan said, "When a bird flies against its hometown, the fox must die first." Sima Qian's "always thinking about the urgency of the country" Cao Zhi's "Give my life to the national disaster and suddenly feel at home when I see death". Li Bai's "national humiliation is not over, how can he become famous?" Fan Zhongyan's "Worry about the world first, joy after the world". What can't you do for your country? And "serve your country faithfully". Wen Tianxiang's "Whose life has not died since ancient times? Let's take care of our history. ”。 Gu's "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". These proverbs all show a sacred sense of responsibility for the future of the motherland and the destiny of the nation. In modern times, the poems reflecting patriotism have become more vivid and dignified: from Lin Zexu's "Born for the country, died for the country, why should every cloud has a silver lining avoid it" to Tan Sitong's "I laugh at the sky and leave two Kunlun mountains"; From Sun Yat-sen's "China is not revolutionary" and "Those who dare to have an imperial system will be attacked by the world! ",to Li Dazhao's" iron shoulders and morality, wonderful hands to write articles "and Zhou Enlai's" reading for the rise of China "; From the strong voice of "scientific democracy" during the May 4th Movement to "building our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood" during the Anti-Japanese War. All thoughts are stirring and devouring mountains and rivers, and all regard "saving the country for survival" as the core of patriotism. In the long history of 5,000 years, patriotism, as the core of national spirit, has always been the spiritual bond of Chinese national unity, the basic source of cohesion and centripetal force, and a great force to promote social development and progress in China. This spirit, which entrusts with the heart of national destiny, has poured into the thoughts of China and condensed the hope of the country's prosperity. The country is strong and the people are happy, which is the simplest value orientation of patriotism and the goal pursued by countless people with lofty ideals.
