Interpretation of Lei Feng Spirit

The contemporary value of Lei Feng's spirit

Forty years ago, Mao Zedong and other old-generation proletarian revolutionaries issued a call to learn from comrade Lei Feng. Over the past forty years, the spirit of Lei Feng has been y integrated into the blood of Chinese children to build the motherland and dedicate themselves to society. The spirit of Lei Feng is the spirit of culture that is constantly enriched and developed in practice, named after Lei Feng and with the spirit of Lei Feng as its basic connotation. It has become a synonym of spiritual civilization and a symbol of advanced culture in our time. The spirit of Lei Feng not only belongs to China, but also to the world; it has not only won the past and the present, but will certainly win the future. Society is progressing and the world is developing. The times are constantly enriching and developing the contemporary value of the Lei Feng spirit that walks with history.

Value ideal: the unity of truth, goodness and beauty

The value goal pursued by the spirit of Lei Feng stipulates that its value connotation has the quality of ideal. This is the basic basis for the lofty nature of the spirit of Lei Feng. The value goal embodied in the spirit of Lei Feng is mainly embodied in two levels:

First of all, on the ideal level of personal self-worth realization, the general value goal embodied in the spirit of Lei Feng is the spirit of self-improvement. "Self-improvement" is an important feature of the spirit of the Chinese nation and the noble moral pursuit of the ****-producers, which manifests different connotations of the times in different historical contexts. For the self-realization of the value of life, it implies the unremitting pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, and the aspiration for an ideal personality. The reason why Lei Feng can stand out from the ordinary life and become the "man of the hour" lies in the fact that he has this value ideal, and is y rooted in the fertile soil of the times.

Secondly, from the level of responsibility and mission imposed by the society on individuals, the value goal pursued by Lei Feng spirit is "collectivism" and "serving the people wholeheartedly", which is the core value concept of Lei Feng spirit. The collectivist value ideal embodied in the Lei Feng Spirit is the win-win interactive ideal of realizing individual value in the collective and enhancing collective value in the realization of individual value. In other words, in socialist construction, individual self-worth goals do not exist in isolation, and social value goals depend on the orderly integration of countless self-worth goals. Only by promoting social value goals with self-value goals and driving self-value goals with social value goals is the true value ideal of Lei Feng's spirit. As Lei Feng said, "Human life is limited, but the service for the people is unlimited, I want to put my limited life into the unlimited 'service for the people'". This is an effective way to realize the perfect unity of the "two value goals" of society and the individual.

Value Reality: Combination of Advancement and Extensiveness

Value reality is the most essential value attribute of Lei Feng Spirit, which is the value fact that its ideal value stipulation has been objectified and realized, and it is a kind of actual value existence. The value reality of Lei Feng's spirit can be analyzed from the two levels of "quality" and "quantity".

The "quality" of the value reality of the Lei Feng spirit refers to the advanced intrinsic value of the Lei Feng spirit, and the best value realm achieved in its reality. In terms of the reality of the "quality" of the provisions of the reality of the best realm of Lei Feng spirit value is neither out of reach, nor within reach, but the perfect combination of advanced and extensive, is the value of the subject of the maximum demand, the degree of acceptance and the practice of the degree of acceptance of the high degree of unity, this is the reason why the Lei Feng spirit has a permanent value of charisma This is the inner basis of why Lei Feng spirit has permanent value charm. Lei Feng spirit is noble, fully embodies the ****productivist worldview, outlook on life, values, with enduring penetrating force of the times; but it is realistic, is the reality of the need, the reality of the indication, is the reality of the social life of the universally visible civilization of the light of the projection and focus. It is this quality of Lei Feng Spirit, that is, the "qualitative" stipulation of "combination of advancement and extensiveness", which stipulates the "quantitative" stipulation of its value reality, and makes it everlastingly youthful.

Lei's "quality" is the key to his success.

The "quantity" of the value reality of Lei Feng's spirit refers to the objective validity of its value function in reality. As a noble ethical spirit, the spirit of Lei Feng has an intrinsic moral value-oriented function, has become an important content of China's socialist moral system. It has become an important value target for the construction of civic morality, and has the function of cultivating civilization and sound personality, purifying social atmosphere, adjusting the relationship between people, and realizing unity and amity, social harmony and stability. In the socialist market economy, to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng, to achieve the unity of obligations and rights, for the community, others and beneficial to themselves, it is necessary to grasp the spirit of Lei Feng, "quality" and "quantity" of the prescriptive nature of the advanced and broadly combined.

Value practice: the unity of knowledge and action

The spirit of Lei Feng is essentially practical, and only in practice can its value come to the fore, and it can be realized, developed and sublimated. The basic characteristic of the value practice of Lei Feng spirit is the unity of conformity and purpose. It is mainly manifested in two aspects:

One is the unity of knowledge and action. From a philosophical point of view, the profound connotation of the consistency of words and deeds is the unity of knowledge and action. Following the principle of unity of knowledge and action, the key lies in grasping the central link of practice. Practice is the source and power of knowledge, is the test of its knowledge of whether the truth and behavior is in line with the requirements of the truth of the only standard. The most difficult part of following the law of unity of knowledge and action is to unify moral knowledge and moral action. The so-called "knowledge is easy and action is difficult", and more regrets occur when moral knowledge and moral action are contrary to each other. China's ancient sages have always been against the "heart and mouth" and "mouth is wrong", and regarded them as "villains". The Book of Rites? Miscellaneous Records" said: "In his position, no words, the gentleman shame; have his words, no action, the gentleman shame." Confucius emphasized, "A gentleman is ashamed of his words but not his deeds" (Lunyu? Xianqian"), and in "The Analects of Confucius? Yan Hui (颜回), in which the distinction between a gentleman and a villain is made by the words "action and speech" and "tongue", points out that: "A gentleman speaks by his actions, and a villain speaks by his tongue." The preciousness of Lei Feng's spirit lies in the fact that greatness can be seen in the ordinary, and the spirit can be seen in the smallest details. As Mao Zedong pointed out, it is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, but what is difficult is to do only good deeds and no bad deeds in one's life. Therefore, to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng, to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, we must strive to improve the use of scientific theory to guide the practice of life, the ability to correctly make value judgments and value choices, truly and forever to achieve the unity of learning and use, knowledge and action, say and do.

The second is the unity of virtue and talent. "Virtue" is the premise and direction, which determines the degree of value practice of "talent". The core value of the spirit of Lei Feng, is selfless dedication, help people happy. As Lei Feng said: "I live, only one purpose, is to be a useful person to the people, I want to carry out in all practical actions." On the other hand, "talent" is a condition; "virtue" without "talent" is empty and meaningless. Lei Feng's spirit of "nail spirit" of "doing one thing, loving one thing, drilling one thing" provides a realistic carrier for his value practice of serving the people wholeheartedly, injecting vitality and vigor. Through the practice of value ontology, virtue and talent are perfectly unified in the personality value of Lei Feng's spirit.

Value dimension: the extension of history and space

Analysis of Lei Feng's spirit from the value dimension helps us grasp the value essence of Lei Feng's spirit from a broader perspective. The emergence and development of Lei Feng Spirit is both a historical process and a process of radiation from individual to universal and from local to global. Therefore, interpreting the value of Lei Feng's spirit in both historical and spatial dimensions is a revelation of historical logic and dialectical thinking.

The historical dimension can be divided into three orders. The first is the "traditional order". Lei Feng spirit is the inheritance and development of the excellent traditional morality of the Chinese nation, is the reorganization of spiritual value resources with a sense of historical weight, is the specific embodiment of the unique national spirit of the Chinese nation in the period of socialist construction. Secondly, it is "contemporary". Lei Feng's spirit is formed and developed in contemporary times, and the degree of spiritual value and demand of contemporary people determines the effectiveness of realizing the value of Lei Feng's spirit, which is the deep foundation of Lei Feng's spiritual value in the times of its emergence and sublimation. Moreover, the spirit of Lei Feng is not static, and it will be constantly enriched and improved with the development of the times. At present, to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and in-depth study and implementation of the "Three Represents" closely integrated, in practice to enrich and develop the spirit of Lei Feng, so that the spirit of Lei Feng has a strong vitality and appeal, and provide spiritual impetus for the construction of socialist modernization. Thirdly, it is the "future order". Lei Feng Spirit originates from contemporary times, but its significance and influence go far beyond the times in which it is located, and has been practically established as the scientific value orientation of socialist morality. It profoundly reveals the law of the construction and development of social spiritual civilization, reveals the value orientation and path of free and comprehensive development of human beings, embodies the trend and requirements of historical development, and will always be a great spiritual impetus for social progress. The future construction of socialist spiritual civilization and human development will elevate the value connotation of Lei Feng spirit to a new height, and Lei Feng spirit will surely win the future.

From the perspective of spatial dimension, the value function of Lei Feng spirit can be directed to the "three levels", i.e. the army, the nation and the world. The people's army is a strong pillar for defending the interests of the motherland and the people, and its purpose of serving the people determines that it is not only a reliable home for Lei Feng's spirit, but also an important carrier for the realization, expansion and continuation of the value of Lei Feng's spirit; the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, and the construction of the socialist spiritual civilization with Chinese characteristics provide a broader humanistic space for the realization and enhancement of Lei Feng's spiritual value. Practice has proved that the spirit of Lei Feng fully embodies the fundamental requirements for the moral cultivation of our *** party members, embodies the spirit of the times of socialism, and has become an indispensable spiritual resource for hundreds of millions of people of the Chinese nation. Now, Lei Feng and the spirit of Lei Feng have long crossed continents and oceans, and are accepted and admired by people in many countries and regions of the world. Lei Feng spirit not only belongs to China, but also belongs to the world.
