The spirit of Nanniwan was created by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians represented by the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the Large-scale Production Movement in Nanniwan, and is a powerful spiritual force for the CPC and the people's army under its leadership to rise up in difficulties and develop in hardship.

Spiritual connotations

"Self-reliance, hard work"

After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of stalemate, the Kuomintang troops launched a large-scale sweep of the Anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army, mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, imposed strict military encirclement and economic blockade, and clamored to "starve the Eighth Route Army and trap the Eighth Route Army." At that time, the border areas were sparsely populated, the land was barren, and there were only 1.4 million people, so it was really difficult to bear the food and clothing of tens of thousands of cadres, soldiers and students.

As Mao Zedong said, "We used to get almost no clothes to wear, no oil to eat, no paper, no vegetables, soldiers without shoes and socks, and staff members not covered in winter... Our difficulties are enormous."

In February 1939, the Party Central Committee promptly issued a call to "do it yourself" and "develop production" to mobilize the vast number of soldiers and civilians to carry out large-scale production campaigns. In the spring of 1941, under the leadership of Wang Zhen, the 359th Brigade was ordered to march into Nanniwan, cut through thorns and thorns, cultivate land, eat and sleep in the wind, overcome many difficulties, and create material wealth. From 1941 to October 1944, the officers of the 359th Brigade cultivated more than 260,000 mu of land in the Nanniwan area, and the agricultural production achieved a bumper harvest. While cultivating land, the 359th Brigade built more than 1,300 cave dwellings, built more than 600 earthen houses, and manufactured more than 10,000 pieces of agricultural tools, taking the lead in realizing Chairman Mao's goal of "doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing" in the border areas and the Eighth Route Army.

"Unity and unity of struggle"

In the large-scale production movement, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Ren Bishi, and other leaders of the CPC Central Committee set an example and took the lead in participating in labor. In the 359th Brigade, from the brigade commander down to the attendants and cooks, they were all organized into the production team, sharing weal and woe and overcoming difficulties. Comrade Chen Zongyao, as the regimental commander, did not ride a horse, and led the whole regiment to walk hundreds of miles to carry rice, and the commanders and fighters of the whole regiment were touched by his spirit, and everyone was a hundred times more energetic, and none of them deserted. Comrade Zuo Qi, the political commissar of the regiment, lost a hand in the war and could not afford to pick up a hoe when he was in the wilderness, but he cooked for the soldiers in the camp and picked them up the mountain to feed the soldiers, which made the soldiers feel inexplicably moved. This style of commander maintaining close ties with the vast number of soldiers embodies the Spirit of Nanniwan of one heart and one mind and united struggle. It is precisely by relying on this spirit and style of unity and struggle with one heart and one mind that the military and people in the base areas, with their own hands, have not only shaken off difficulties, but also created a rare miracle in the world.

Spiritual significance

Entrepreneurship is the source of our development in response to the great changes that have not occurred in a century

The spirit of innovation is the source of vitality for reform and opening up in the new era. Wang Zhen led the officers and men of the 359th Brigade to fight and produce while fighting in the reclamation of Nanniwan, giving full play to the creativity of every soldier, carrying forward the innovative spirit of daring to take responsibility and daring to be the first, winning victories in agricultural and sideline production and defending the border areas, greatly inspiring the enthusiasm of the army and the people for production, and making Nanniwan a model praised by everyone for carrying out a large-scale production campaign in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Standing at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years" goal, fundamentally breaking the obstacles restricting the circulation of "double cycle" elements, and solving the problem of "lack of core and little soul" in the development of China's information industry, we must adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization construction, and provide vitality and motivation for China to build itself into a world scientific and technological power. It is necessary to firmly grasp the key of innovation-driven development, continuously improve the ability of independent innovation, open up the whole process innovation chain that supports the scientific and technological power as soon as possible, let scientific and technological innovation consolidate the foundation of "double-cycle" development, and actively promote the construction of a new development pattern with the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship as the guide.

The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Goals for 2035" deliberated and adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China mentioned "innovation" 47 times, and clearly required "adhering to innovation-driven development and comprehensively shaping new advantages for development". In the face of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change in the world, the Chinese government should do a good job in top-level design, plant innovation soil, introduce a series of important policies and measures to promote industrial development, and stimulate the vitality of enterprise innovation; each enterprise should have the courage to undertake the mission and heavy responsibility of the times of technological innovation and progress, accelerate core technology breakthroughs, accelerate the construction of the whole industrial chain of chips, and achieve leapfrog development.

The spirit of unity and struggle is the source of strength for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. After more than three years of reclamation and cultivation, the central leadership and the vast number of soldiers and civilians share weal and woe and overcome difficulties together, and it is precisely this spirit of unity and struggle that has produced an indestructible and powerful force, and Nanniwan has been called "the magic produced in the wilderness" by foreign journalists. No matter how the times change, the spirit of unity and struggle will never go out of style, and will always contain and gather our indestructible strength and condense into a powerful positive energy for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia, our party has united and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country to work together with one heart and one mind, always adhere to the lofty concept of "people first, life first", condense the great anti-epidemic spirit in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, build a solid defense line for epidemic prevention and control, and achieve major strategic achievements in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Those who desire the same thing from top to bottom win, and those who are in the same boat in the wind and rain prosper. This year is the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and we must unite the strongest unity and forge ahead with the great anti-epidemic spirit and work together.

The spirit of the corps is the soul of a strong army and the foundation for defeating the enemy and winning victories in the modernization of national defense and the armed forces in the new era. The 359th Brigade was extraordinary, capable of fighting wars and growing grain, and also kicked off the prelude to the CPC's military reclamation cause. The 359th Brigade "resolutely responded to the slogans of the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong" and, with the heroic spirit of not fearing any difficulties, forged ahead and won brilliant victories. This precisely embodies the fine tradition of the people's army in obeying the party's command and being able to win battles, bringing the relationship between the military and the people and between officers and men closer, and forming a powerful spiritual force and spirit of struggle to defeat the enemy and win victory. In the new era, although the environment in which we live has changed, the nature and purpose of the people's army have not changed, the political character of being loyal to the party and obeying the party's command has not changed, and the fine tradition of unity among officers and men has not changed. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the people's army obeyed the party's command and moved at the behest of orders, and played an important role and made outstanding contributions in the fight against the epidemic. The people's army has defended the people's interests with actions, demonstrated its firm stand and profound love for the people, and has always been a heroic army that the party and the people can fully trust.

Standing at a new starting point, the people's army can only obey the party's command, take root in the people's deep land, base itself on rock-solid unity between the military and the people, and strive to promote the modernization of national defense and the army in the course of continuous reform and innovation. If people do not have spirit, they will not stand, and if the country does not have spirit, it will not be strong. Spirit is the soul on which a nation depends for its long-term survival. The Spirit of Nanniwan is an important part of the spirit of Yan'an, an important part of the spiritual genealogy of the Communist Party of China and a precious wealth of the Chinese nation, and has played an irreplaceable and important role in the process of China's revolution, construction and reform. The spirit of Nanniwan has inspired generations of Chinese, left us with valuable wealth, and enabled it to travel through time and space, showing important practical significance and era value.
