How to Carry Forward Yan 'an Spirit

Baota shan is majestic and the river is clear. When it comes to Yan 'an, people will feel particularly cordial and worship. This is not only because Yan 'an was the command center and strategic rear of our party during the revolutionary war years, where the CPC Central Committee and President Mao Zedong plotted and made a series of major decisions related to the future and destiny of the China revolution, which laid a solid foundation for seizing the national political power; It is also because this magical land gave birth to the great Yan 'an spirit. Yan 'an spirit is a family heirloom of our party and a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Great changes have taken place in our situation and conditions today compared with the Yan 'an period, but China and party member must uphold and carry forward the Yan 'an spirit now and in the future.

Yan 'an spirit is the spirit of hard struggle. Our party started from hard struggle, and the cause of our party and people is constantly developing and growing through hard struggle. Looking back on the history of the Party, from the founding of Shanghai to Jinggangshan, from Zunyi Conference to Yan 'an, from Xibaipo to the seizure of national political power, from the founding of New China to the new era of reform and opening up, every achievement and every victory of ours cannot be separated from hard struggle. Hard work is a style of work, a style of thinking, a fine tradition and a political quality of our party. It is a powerful spiritual force that unites the hearts and minds of the party and inspires the whole party and the people to work together to achieve national prosperity and national rejuvenation. This is an extremely valuable historical experience.

Yan 'an spirit is the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly. Yan 'an period is an important period for our party to establish people's political power and expand the ruling area in some areas of China. Our Party has always regarded the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China as its fundamental purpose. During the Yan 'an period, it loudly put forward the slogan of "serving the people" and put it into practice throughout the Party. At that time, the government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region was known as "democratic politics and clean government". Members of the US military observation team in Yan 'an said: "There is no extravagance and formality, no beggars, and no extravagance. People are frugal in their clothes and life, and the relationship between people is frank, straightforward and friendly. There is also no rhetoric of bodyguards, gendarmes and Chongqing bureaucrats. " China * * * Production Party has won the support and support of the people with its infinite loyalty to the people.

Yan 'an spirit is the spirit of integrating theory with practice and constantly pioneering and innovating. Yan 'an period is a period when our Party scientifically summed up both positive and negative experiences, successfully promoted the sinicization of Marxism and achieved the first historic leap in theory. Many important works of Comrade Mao Zedong, such as Strategic Issues of China Revolutionary War, Theory of Practice, Theory of Contradiction, Theory of Protracted War, Theory of New Democracy and Theory of Coalition Government, were all completed during the Yan 'an period. It was during the Yan 'an period that Mao Zedong Thought gradually matured and was formally written on the party's banner. It can be said that without innovation, there would be no Yan 'an spirit, and there would be no Mao Zedong Thought. Today, we must carry forward the Yan 'an spirit under the new situation, and still insist on keeping pace with the times and pioneering and innovating.

Yan 'an spirit is the spirit of seeking truth from facts. It was also during the Yan 'an period that the ideological line of our party was summarized by seeking truth from facts. Practice shows that only by emancipating the mind can we seek truth from facts; Only by seeking truth from facts can we truly emancipate our minds. In the new century and new stage, we should, in accordance with the requirements of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, make sure that our ancestors can't be lost, but also talk about new words. Classic works should be read carefully and a new chapter should be written; We should carry forward the revolutionary tradition and create new methods. To achieve development, we must have new ideas, new breakthroughs in reform, a new situation in opening up, and new measures in all work. This is called persisting in emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts.

The national spirit is the spiritual support for the survival and development of a nation, and Yan 'an spirit is an important part of the Chinese national spirit.
