In the course of one hundred years of extraordinary struggle, generation after generation of Chinese Communists have stubbornly struggled and made unremitting efforts, and a large number of revolutionary martyrs who regard death as their homecoming, a large number of heroic figures who have stubbornly struggled, and a large number of advanced models who have made selfless dedication have emerged, forming the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Long March, the spirit of Zunyi Conference, the spirit of Yan'an, the spirit of Xibaipo, the spirit of Hongyan, the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite," the spirit of special zones, the spirit of fighting floods, the spirit of fighting earthquakes and disaster relief, and the spirit of fighting the epidemic. The spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists was constructed. The reason why our party has flourished and endured hardships over the past century is that it relies on such a strong spirit of revolution and hard work.
——Xi Jinping
A hundred years of wind and rain, a hundred years of struggle, a hundred years of brilliance, a hundred years of spirit.
Great causes breed great spirits, and great spirits lead great causes.
On February 20, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the mobilization meeting for the study and education of party history that in the course of one hundred years of extraordinary struggle, generation after generation of Chinese communists have stubbornly struggled and struggled unremittingly, and a large number of revolutionary martyrs who regard death as their homecoming, a large number of heroes who have stubbornly struggled, and a large number of advanced models who have devoted themselves to selfless dedication have emerged, forming a series of great spirits, building up the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, and providing rich nourishment for us to build the party, revitalize the party, and strengthen the party.
After a hundred years of hard work, education has never been absent. Among the revolutionary martyrs who regard death as their homecoming, the heroes who stubbornly struggle, and the advanced models who dedicate themselves selflessly, there are all figures of educators. In the formation of a series of great spirits, education has played a unique role.
Pass on the torch, the spirit is immortal. In order to cultivate new people of the times who shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, the vast number of educators should educate and guide young students to vigorously carry forward the red tradition, inherit the red gene, continue the spiritual bloodline of communists, always maintain the spirit of the revolutionaries' fearless struggle, and summon up the spirit of marching into a new journey and forging ahead into a new era.
Trace the century-old process of the Chinese Communists in building a spiritual genealogy
Know history and love the party, and study history to increase trust. Only by understanding and walking into history, especially the history of the Communist Party of China, can we consciously inherit the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the National Education Conference that "it is necessary to strengthen the education of Chinese history, especially the history of modern and modern China, the history of the Chinese revolution, the history of the Communist Party of China, the history of the People's Republic of China, and the history of China's reform and opening up among students."
From July 1921 to October 1949, the Chinese Communists took the party's original intention and mission as the starting point, and the revolutionary spirit of striving for national independence and people's liberation as the strongest voice of the times, and in the 28 years of bloody struggle, they forged the revolutionary spirit of the Red Boat, the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Long March and other revolutionary spirits. During this period, the seeds of the spiritual lineage of the Chinese Communists began to gestate, sprout and grow gradually.
From 1949 to 1978, the Communist Party of China led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to carry out arduous exploration of the socialist road, and the main theme of its spiritual genealogy was to cultivate the spirit of struggle of patriotic dedication, and gave birth to the Daqing spirit, the "two roads" spirit, the "two roads" spirit, the "two bombs and one satellite" spirit, and the westward migration spirit of the broad masses of the people. During this period, with the theme of building a new China and building socialism, the CPC continued to cultivate and carry forward the revolutionary spirit.
In the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, our party has led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts, and forge ahead in a pioneering spirit, thus not only creating an economic miracle that has attracted worldwide attention, but also creating and cultivating full and fruitful spiritual fruits. The specific spiritual forms produced during this period mainly include the pioneering cattle spirit, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway spirit, the special zone spirit, the women's volleyball spirit, the manned spaceflight spirit, the earthquake relief spirit, and the reform and opening up spirit. Reform and opening up is a clear sign of this period, and the spirit of reform and opening up has also become a high-level summary of the spirit of the times.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has united and led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to revolutionize the past and make great efforts to govern along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the cause of the party and the country has made historic achievements and historic changes, and socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. In the new era, a spiritual map with struggle as the theme and the great anti-epidemic spirit and poverty alleviation spirit as the main representatives has been formed. The spirit of labor model, the spirit of labor, the spirit of craftsmen, the spirit of scientists, the spirit of entrepreneurship, the spirit of Mongolian horses, the spirit of hard bones, the spirit of Beidou in the new era, the spirit of Silk Road, and the spirit of exploring the moon have become the shining coordinates in the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly explained the spirit of the Great War of Resistance and the spirit of the Long March, giving them a new significance of the times. He also repeatedly emphasized the spirit of struggle, the spirit of self-revolution, the spirit of nailing nails, and the spirit of the Constitution, further highlighting the CPC's historical responsibility of basing itself on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and focusing on the two overall situations, and showing the party's posture and style of leading the people along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics to face difficulties, forge ahead, never slacken off, and make contributions for a long time.
Profoundly grasp the connotation characteristics of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists
Kiss his word and believe in his teacher. To continue the great spirit, we must have a deep understanding, a high degree of identification, and a heartfelt belief in the rich connotation of the great spirit.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "revolutionary traditional education should start from the doll, pay attention to knowledge instilling, and strengthen emotional cultivation, so that the red gene penetrates into the blood and immerses the heart." The spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists is a true portrayal of the party's original intention and mission, a spiritual monument one after another, highlighting the nature of political parties, reflecting the national spirit, embodying the requirements of the times, and being the spiritual pillar for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists expounds the fundamental requirements of our party to "rely on whom and for whom", condenses into the core values of the party, sublimates the "people-centered" development thinking, and continuously enriches and develops in the unremitting struggle of the party and the people in the new era.
The spiritual genealogy of Chinese Communists has a thick practical attribute and a lofty moral character. The Transformation of the Power of Truth and the Power of Ideals into the Power of Personality by the Chinese Communists is realized through concrete practice, which makes every spirit in the spiritual lineage presented in a three-dimensional way. Speaking of the spirit of the Red Boat, we will think of Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Mao Zedong, and others who sought and repeatedly compared the truth of national salvation before and after the May Fourth Movement, and think of the groundbreaking faith choices of that generation of Communists. The reason why the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China has the appeal and influence through time and space is because it occupies a moral high point, has lofty moral strength, and is the aesthetic sublimation of the wisdom, emotion, will, ideal, belief, and personality of the Chinese Communists. Each spirit highlights the value choices and moral practices of the Chinese Communists in the face of specific environments and specific tests, and has become a lofty world of goodness and goodness in the spiritual world of mankind.
The spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists is a concentrated embodiment of the national spirit and the spirit of the times. The national spirit embodies the ideals, wisdom, will, emotions, character and traditions of a nation. The spirit of the Chinese nation is an important source of the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China, and the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China is the inheritance and development of the spirit of the Chinese nation. The traditional pursuit of the Datong society and the communist ideal, the sacrifice of life for righteousness and heroism, as well as the unity of knowledge and action and seeking truth from facts, self-improvement and independence, etc., can be seen in the relationship between the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists and the spirit of the Chinese nation.
The spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists inspires us to educate people for the party and the country
Where the Teacher is, where the Tao exists.
The foundation of the continuation of the great spirit lies in education.
The great spirit is eternal. The spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists spans time and space, stretches and thick, and accumulates the lofty and sacred original mission of our party, with rich connotations and profound depths. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to excavating revolutionary spiritual resources, carrying forward the revolutionary spiritual culture, and emphasizing that the spiritual genealogy of communists "was, is, and will remain the precious spiritual wealth of our party in the past."
Education has made important contributions to the formation of a series of great spirits, and it has also shouldered an important mission in the process of carrying forward and expanding the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that young people are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Our party is determined to achieve the great cause of the Chinese nation in the thousands of years, and it must cultivate generation after generation of useful talents who support the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system in our country and are determined to fight for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics all their lives. The spiritual lineage of the Chinese Communists has been passed down from generation to generation and has shone brightly for thousands of years, inspiring the whole party and the people of the whole country to continue to forge ahead courageously. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and in the new journey, we must carry out great struggles, build great projects, promote great causes, and realize great dreams, and there are still many "Loushan Pass" and "Lazikou" to conquer. In the new era of "educating people for the party and the country," we must study and inherit the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, lead the vast number of young students to consciously become firm believers and loyal practitioners of the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, consciously establish and practice the core socialist values, and become "the most active and dynamic force in the entire social force."
