What are the basic contents of traditional patriotism?

Patriotism refers to the positive support attitude of individuals or collectives to the motherland, which reveals the dependence of individuals on the motherland and is the unity of people's sense of belonging, identity, dignity and honor to the motherland and the nation and culture.

It is manifested in national self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as the spirit of dedication to defending the motherland and striving for its independence and prosperity. It is not only embodied in various ideologies such as politics, law, morality, art, religion and the whole superstructure, but also permeates all aspects of social life and becomes an important factor affecting the fate of the nation and the country.

Patriotism, the virtue of China:

Dedication to the motherland is one of the patriotic virtues of the Chinese nation. Many famous patriots and national heroes emerged in ancient history, such as Yan Ying, who was not afraid of violence, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who bravely fought against Xiongnu, Yue Fei, who was loyal to his country, Xin Qiji, who died with a heart of iron, and Yu Qian, who defended Beijing.

Qi Jiguang who fought against the enemy, Yuan Chonghuan who fought against the Qing Dynasty, Xia Wanchun, a young hero, Zhang Huangyan who "worked honestly for Kunming", He Ziyuan who recovered Taiwan Province and devoted himself to revolutionary innovation, etc. Their patriotic dedication still has great spiritual appeal and is a good material for patriotic education.

Especially in modern history, when China was madly invaded by imperialist powers and there was a crisis of national subjugation and extinction, the patriotism of Chinese sons and daughters became more and more inspiring and unshakable, showing the edge of fighting and spiritual strength.

From bourgeois revolutionaries such as Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, He Ziyuan, Zou Rong and Qiu Jin to proletarian revolutionaries such as Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Peng and Dong, they all inherited the fine patriotic tradition of "taking the world as their duty" of the Chinese nation and shouldered the heavy responsibility of rejuvenating China.
