Patriotism: the most basic value criterion of citizens

Chen ying

Patriotism is people's deep attachment and love for the motherland, and the corresponding practical actions. Patriotism is the most basic values and moral standards that every citizen should follow, and it is also the glorious tradition of the Chinese nation. For thousands of years, Chinese sons and daughters have held high the patriotic banner, emerged countless patriotic heroes and people with lofty ideals, and recited countless patriotic poems. Patriotism has long been integrated into the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. Patriotism, as the core of Chinese national spirit, has always been a powerful driving force to unite all ethnic groups and all walks of life, supporting the great practice of Chinese national unity, struggle, development and prosperity.

We are patriotic, because our motherland is magnificent and vast, because our motherland has a long history and splendid civilization, because we were born and raised in Sri Lanka, and every move of our motherland affects our hearts. In the long historical process, the people of China have experienced hardships, always been brave and unyielding, and worked hard to create brilliant economic, political and cultural achievements. All this has left a deep imprint on everyone in China, casting China's heart. Just like the song "My China Heart" sings: "Although the dress is old, the heart is still China's heart; My ancestors have put a Chinese seal on everything. " In the historical practice of the growth and development of the Chinese nation, we deeply understand the importance of the country and the necessity of patriotism, and understand that the fate of individuals is basically the same as that of the country and the nation: without the country, there will be no home, no personal freedom and happiness, and even no personal life and safety; Only when the country is independent and strong can individuals be free, rich and happy. As Dr. Sun Yat-sen said: "The country carries people's ships, and ships sail in the sea. When encountering storms, we should unite as one, help each other and seek economic benefits. " It is from this close relationship between individuals and the country and their profound understanding of this relationship that the people of China have a strong moral feeling for the motherland, and this strong patriotic feeling has been transformed into action and practice. How should we further carry forward the spirit of patriotism today when cultivating and practicing the socialist core values?

Patriotism means loving the people. We should respect our ancestors, who created China today; I love my hometown, my teachers and my friends. They all grew up in China like me. They are closely related to us, supporting and developing today's society. We should serve the people with a grateful heart and strive to repay the motherland, the society, the people and the people's livelihood. Patriotism and love for the people should start with filial piety, especially caring for special social groups such as the elderly who are lonely and lonely, and enthusiastically helping people in need. In particular, when emergencies and major disasters occur in the country, we should pay close attention to them, stand forward, take risks and do our best to contribute; Resolutely oppose the disintegration of all hostile forces at home and abroad and resolutely fight against all acts that harm the interests and honor of the motherland.

Patriotism means loving every inch of the motherland and cherishing the people's hard work and innovative spirit. The Chinese nation has recognized the importance of the natural environment since ancient times, emphasizing "harmony between man and nature" and "harmony between people" and paying attention to caring for ecology; China's traditional culture has always emphasized that "a porridge and a meal are hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to think about matter. " These farsightedness have been confirmed by the environmental crisis, smog and water pollution caused by population expansion and industrialization in the world today. Protecting the environment can no longer wait, nor can it be shirked. We should inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of loving the motherland's great rivers and mountains, take immediate action, carry forward the fine tradition of simplicity and frugality of the Chinese nation, strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, make the sky blue and clear, and promote and guarantee the sustainable development of China's economy and society.

Patriotism means loving the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation is a rich treasure house, which includes the philosophy of literature, history, science, technology and art. What is particularly worth cherishing is the spirit of "striving for self-improvement, respecting morality and carrying things", "independence and self-improvement", "respecting morality and being kind, and being United and friendly", which is the root and soul of our nation. The excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation is the cultural foundation and ideological support of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, which is of great significance for enhancing our road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence and constantly creating a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause.

The most important thing about patriotism is to love Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It was socialism that saved China and Socialism with Chinese characteristics that developed China. In modern times, the Chinese nation once fell into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal situation where people bullied and trampled on it, but it rose rapidly. After decades of unremitting efforts, the people of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, held high the banner of patriotism and guided by Marxism, achieved a historic leap: national independence and people's liberation, established a new China where the people are masters of their own affairs, and established a basic socialist system; Carry out reform and opening up, build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and gradually realize a historic leap from adequate food and clothing to a well-off society. Today, our motherland is changing with each passing day, with economic development, political stability, cultural prosperity, social harmony and remarkable improvement in people's lives. The Chinese dream of "national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness" is accelerating. Our motherland has never been so powerful and lovely as it is today. Living in such a country, as China people, can we not feel happy and proud? Can you serve the motherland without greater determination and enthusiasm?

To cultivate and practice the value principle of patriotism, we first need to study hard, especially to combine the personal future and destiny with the development and prosperity of the motherland and the happiness and well-being of the people, rejoice in every progress and achievement made by the motherland, worry about the difficulties and challenges faced by the motherland, and work hard to improve the happiness of people's livelihood. More importantly, we should turn this strong patriotic feeling into practical actions, implement it at every moment needed by the motherland, and implement it in ordinary jobs and daily life. When patriotism becomes the highest value criterion for everyone in China, the role of socialist core values will be brought into full play, and the Chinese nation will be more United and create new glories.

Dedication: casting extraordinary in the ordinary.

Wu

Dedication is an important value criterion of citizens and the most basic professional ethics requirement. No matter what industry a person is engaged in or what position he holds, he should practice the simple and lofty virtue of dedication with hard work and solid work. Today, with the cultivation and practice of socialist core values, it is particularly necessary to vigorously advocate professionalism, guide people to fulfill their duties, and make unremitting efforts to realize the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Dedication is an important part of China's traditional virtue. There is a saying in the Book of Rites that "respecting things and being happy", and Confucius also advocates "respecting things and keeping faith" and "respecting deacons". Liang Qichao expounded the dedication spirit of dedication in the article "Dedication and Happiness". He believes that "dedication" means "whenever you do something, you will be loyal to one thing and concentrate all your energy on it." To put it simply, dedication means treating your work with awe and respect, being serious and responsible, being single-minded and striving for perfection. Its connotation is mainly manifested in the following aspects.

Loyal work attitude. Dedicated people will devote themselves to their careers, connect life with their careers and realize the value of life in their career development; Will have a strong sense of responsibility, know their specific responsibilities, faithfully perform their duties, be diligent and work hard. In this way, the work will be transformed from external compulsion and passivity to internal consciousness and initiative. As Martin Luther King, the black American leader, said, "If a person is a cleaner, then he should paint like Michelangelo, compose like Beethoven, and clean the streets with the same mood as Shakespeare. His work is excellent, and residents in the sky and underground will pay attention to him and praise him:' Look, there is a great cleaner here, and his work is unparalleled!' "There is no distinction between high and low work, and there is no distinction between high and low work. Every job is worth doing, and it is worth doing with your heart. As long as we are diligent, conscientious and strive for perfection, we will make extraordinary achievements.

The professional feeling of doing one thing and loving one thing. "Love without respect is not true love; Respect without love is not real respect. " Facts have proved that real professionals must have a passion for their careers. The love of career is the deep motivation of dedication, which will ignite people's great enthusiasm for work and inspire people's strong motivation to forge ahead. As Gorky said: "Genius is developed because of the love of career. It can be said that genius is essentially just a love of career and working process. " People who are dedicated to their jobs will regard their work as happiness and happiness, keep their enterprising spirit and passion for hard work, and do their best to do their work well and achieve the ultimate. No matter what position a person is in, as long as he is in the position for one day, he should do his own job in a down-to-earth and conscientious manner. As the saying goes, "Seek his own government in his position."

Diligence and professionalism. Dedication is a matter of spirit and state, and accuracy is a matter of ability and level. No matter how great a person's skills, abilities and qualities are, it is difficult to achieve anything if he takes everything lightly. Similarly, no matter how dedicated a person is, if his knowledge level is not high and his technical ability is average, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve much. Especially in the modern society with the rapid development of knowledge economy, it is particularly important to establish the concept of lifelong learning and continuously improve the professional quality and level. Today, the pacesetters and models emerging from all walks of life, such as Xu Zhenchao, blue-collar expert Kong Xiangrui, gold medal worker Dou Tiecheng and knowledge worker Deng Jianjun, are not only outstanding representatives who love their jobs, but also advanced models who are diligent and conscientious. They are skilled in their work, study hard, be brave in innovation, have developed high-strength skills, broken through one technical difficulty after another, created first-class achievements, made outstanding contributions in their posts, and raised their professional level to a new level.

Dedication seems ordinary, but it is not easy. Occupation and jobs are the basic guarantee for people's survival and development. Any post means opportunities and platforms, which can achieve our career and our life. The meaning and value of life are expressed by engaging in certain occupations. It is the career vision of most people to live, achieve a career and make a big difference in the workplace. The success of a career, the realization of life goals, and the display of the meaning and value of life depend to a great extent on a person's work attitude and professionalism. Opportunities favor people with dedication. Only diligent and dedicated people can make extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts and realize their ideals to the maximum extent.

Any work unit is an organic whole. Only when everyone loves their work, works hard and all departments coordinate their work can they have overall efficiency. Dedication is also the moral basis for promoting social harmony. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, believed that justice is harmony and justice is the "goodness" of individuals and countries; The justice of the city-state is embodied in the order formed by people of different classes performing their duties and doing their best. In real life, the construction of a harmonious society requires every member of society to work diligently in their respective posts: civil servants are clean and honest, judges enforce the law impartially, soldiers defend their country, businessmen operate in good faith, teachers teach and educate people, doctors heal the wounded and rescue the dying, and scientific and technological personnel invent and create ... Only when members of society go their own ways, perform their duties and do their part can a just and good society be formed.

Dedication is not a simple slogan, nor can it be done casually. It needs the joint efforts of everyone, every industry and even the whole society. Every worker needs to establish a correct post consciousness and realize that every post can display his ideals and ambitions, dedicate his wisdom and wisdom and show the value of life; Maintain a good work attitude, be on the job, love the job, be on the job, and be unfocused, attentive, hardworking and positive; Strive for first-class performance, study hard all the skills needed for work, strive to become an expert and business backbone in this industry and position, and write an extraordinary chapter in life in an ordinary post.

Honesty: the foundation of building people and rejuvenating the country

Shu-Chin Wang

Honesty is a universal moral requirement of mankind, a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and an important content of cultivating and practicing socialist core values. The essence of honesty is truth, no deception, sincerity, no lying and keeping promises.

It is of great significance to cultivate and practice the values of honesty.

Honesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Honesty is the essence of China's traditional moral culture. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "Keeping promises is the tradition of our nation." Specifically, "sincerity" means respecting the facts and treating others sincerely, neither deceiving oneself nor others. So Zhu said, "A sincere person is true and innocent." "Faith" means loyalty to conscience and keeping promises. Therefore, Zhang Zai said, "Sincerity means being good at believing what you say." "Honesty" is the root of "faith" and "faith" is the use of "sincerity". Chinese traditional virtue regards honesty as the foundation of career, and requires people to "be sincere in their hearts and trust others outside".

Honesty is the way to live in this world. Honesty is the moral principle of human beings. Confucius said, "People without faith don't know what they can do." Honesty is the "first principle" of individual socialization. People change from a living natural person to a social person with social role through socialization. People's socialization should not only learn and master the knowledge and skills necessary for social life, but also learn the rules of social communication. Among them, following the rules of good faith such as not lying and keeping promises is one of the earliest rules education accepted by everyone.

Honesty is the cornerstone of the development of market economy. In a sense, market economy is a credit transaction activity based on trust. This kind of trading activity contains moral and legal requirements for market participants to be honest and trustworthy. Honesty is the premise and guarantee of realizing credit transaction, and it is the golden rule and lifeline of the healthy development of market economy. Honesty and trustworthiness of market participants can not only avoid adverse selection and moral hazard, reduce transaction costs, but also form a reasonable market order, enhance the predictability of economic and social activities and improve economic efficiency.

Practical requirements of honesty and credit values

Work honestly. Honesty is not only a simple problem of observing and performing contracts, but also an attitude and moral problem of labor creation. Honesty requires people to respect objective facts, not cheat, not opportunistic, not stealing or cheating in the activities of understanding and transforming nature and society. If labor creates the world, then only honest labor can create a beautiful world that can improve people's quality of life and enhance people's happiness.

Be sincere to others and yourself. Honesty requires people to seek truth from facts in social communication, not to deceive themselves, and to oppose hypocrisy and deception. Therefore, honesty is an attitude and conduct that is loyal to the heart, true and innocent, and keeps promises. To do things for people according to the real requirements is to be honest and sincere, so as to have a good work style and social atmosphere; Only by keeping promises and keeping promises can people have a sense of security, trust each other and feel happy.

Keep promises and agreements. Honesty requires people to keep promises and contracts, and oppose breaking and breaking promises. The promises and agreements mentioned here include not only the specific rights and obligations arising from people's own promises, but also the universal rights and obligations stipulated by national laws, regulations, decrees and rules.

The focus of cultivating and practicing the values of honesty and credit

Give play to the demonstration and leading role of government integrity. The ancients said, "A politician is right." Government integrity is the vane and star of social integrity. Winning the trust of the people is the way to govern. Through management and education, administrative personnel should establish the rule of law thinking, abide by the Constitution and laws, and administer according to law; Open government information according to law, let power run in the sun, and avoid corruption that violates social fairness and justice; Ensure that the system is scientific, reasonable and effective, fulfill the promise to the public, and avoid the phenomenon of "arbitrarily changing orders" and "new officials ignoring old accounts". Leading cadres should consciously stress honesty, understand rules and discipline, establish an image of honesty and improve the credibility of the government.

Create an honest business culture atmosphere. The ideas, beliefs and behaviors of social members are closely related to the socio-economic environment. False business practices such as product adulteration and commodity price fraud will not only aggravate the general suspicion and suspicion of members of society, increase transaction costs, but also dispel the integrity and moral beliefs and will of members of society and induce deception and dishonesty. To cultivate and practice the values of honesty, it is necessary to strengthen supervision, guide and educate people to be honest and trustworthy in business activities, not to falsify, not to adulterate, to be honest and not to bully, and to actively create a business culture atmosphere that stresses honesty.

Carry out life-oriented honesty education. Legal provisions on honesty, credit business, credit card handling, credit consumption, career development, etc. Carry out targeted honesty education, so that people can further understand how to serve life with "credit" in the era of credit economy, and how to enhance social viability through the accumulation of honesty income, thus enhancing people's motivation to be honest and trustworthy, and truly "let honesty and trustworthiness become the common value pursuit and code of conduct of the whole society."

Strengthen the integrity construction of social organizations. The subjects of cultivating and practicing the values of honesty include not only social individuals, but also various social organizations, such as enterprises, institutions and social groups. Social members engaged in professional activities belong to different social organizations. Whether the organization abides by the principle of good faith internally and externally and whether it forms a working atmosphere of good faith directly affects the formation of personal integrity of social members. The lack of organizational integrity is a great damage to the concept of social individual integrity and social order. Therefore, to cultivate and practice the values of integrity, we should strengthen the integrity construction of social organizations.

Give full play to the social radiation effect of the moral model of honesty. The moral model of honesty is the moral benchmark around people, and it has the moral persuasion of "moistening things silently". To cultivate and practice the values of honesty, we should vigorously publicize the true and touching deeds of honesty and moral models, create an honest and trustworthy social atmosphere, and make full use of the social radiation effect of honesty and moral models.

Kindness: the basic principle of dealing with interpersonal relationships

Liu shuijing

The friendship advocated by the socialist core values is the inheritance and development of the previous view of human friendship, the basic value criterion for dealing with interpersonal relations under socialist conditions, and the important spiritual condition and value support for building a harmonious home and realizing national dreams.

The Rich Connotation of Friendly Values

Salute modestly, help each other and help each other. In other words, in work and life, we don't advocate energy, don't cut goodness, put others before ourselves, and keep a low profile. In the face of people with high moral character and excellent quality, we should learn with an open mind and meet Si Qi; In the face of other people's faults and shortcomings, we should put ourselves in a position of understanding and tolerance, and sincerely remind and help. Qi Xin makes concerted efforts to help others when they are in trouble. The friendly atmosphere of humility, courtesy, help and mutual assistance circulates warmth and love between people, which can eliminate barriers, melt ice and snow and make people feel like spring breeze.

Like-minded, forge ahead hand in hand. The same feeling, seeking at the same time. People with similar interests often have friendly feelings, so people often say that "comrades are friends" and "no common goals, no common feelings". If friendliness is like-minded and based on like-mindedness, then in contemporary China, the aspiration of all Chinese people is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal and Tao is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road. It is the requirement of the times of socialist friendly values to integrate personal pursuit into the national dream and forge ahead with one heart and one mind on the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream by the Chinese nation.

Cherish resources and care for nature. Human beings not only live in groups and societies, but also in heaven and earth and nature. People should not only deal with others and society, but also deal with nature in their own survival and development. "Love" and "love things" are inseparable. There is only one earth for human beings, which is their living home. Respecting nature and protecting the environment means respecting and protecting the rights of survival and development of others and other countries, respecting and protecting the rights of survival and development of future generations and respecting and protecting human beings.

Ways to practice friendly values

A profound understanding of the position and role of friendly values in the "Three Advocates" is the product of our party's high generalization and conciseness of socialist core values from three levels: country, society and individual. Among them, the value requirement at the individual level is in a basic position in a certain sense. Among the four values at the personal level, friendliness is relatively in a more basic position, and the other three values are all related to the concept of friendliness: if a person can't be kind to people around him in daily communication, he can't be expected to be patriotic, nor can he be expected to be conscientious in his specific work and make contributions to society and others; A person who doesn't love others and only cares about his own interests can hardly respect others and be honest with each other in interpersonal communication. Therefore, actively advocating and cultivating friendly values in practice is of great significance for comprehensively cultivating and practicing socialist core values.

Creative utilization of excellent traditional moral resources in China. China's traditional culture contains rich thoughts of benevolence and righteousness. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "friend" has the shape of two hands in one direction, indicating second-hand cooperation or helping each other with hands. The ancients in China emphasized "the benevolent loves others", advocated the interpersonal communication theory of "going in and out as friends, watching and helping each other", advocated the ecological harmony theory of "the integration of all things" and "the integration of man and nature", and regarded "the harmony between people and things" as the ideal realm of moral cultivation. On this basis, the ancients also developed a wealth of moral practice theories, including loyalty and forgiveness, "complaining about friendliness" and "helping others with friends". In the process of practicing socialist friendly values, we should scientifically inherit these traditional excellent moral resources and realize their creative transformation and innovative development.

Consolidate the material foundation for practicing friendly values. "The granary knows etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace." The cultivation and practice of socialist friendly values cannot be separated from the practical improvement of people's material and cultural living standards. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee emphasized the need to deepen the reform of social system, reform the income distribution system, promote common prosperity, and ensure a vibrant, harmonious and orderly society. With the improvement of employment, medical care, housing, pension and other issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood, those brows that were originally locked for livelihood will naturally stretch out. And when everyone's face is filled with a happy smile, the harmonious and friendly atmosphere among people is easier to grow.

Carry out moral education and moral practice activities with the theme of friendliness. The education, demonstration and guidance of role models play an important role in cultivating socialist friendly values. The world has its own true feelings, and there is never a lack of kindness and kindness in life. Therefore, moral education should be close to people's lives and strive to capture, explore and publicize the goodwill and true love around the masses. In addition, voluntary service activities with the theme of caring for others and giving love should be widely carried out in the society, and efforts should be made to guide the members of the whole society to pay attention to, care for and care for the disadvantaged groups and create a friendly atmosphere of mutual assistance and love.

Improve the protection and guarantee mechanism for courageous acts. Cultivating and practicing socialist friendly values is a correct move, and it is necessary to punish evil and promote good. On the one hand, we should take a multi-pronged approach to deal with and punish this immoral behavior that harms others and benefits others; On the other hand, we should also pay attention to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of those who practice friendly quality from damage and give corresponding material and spiritual support and encouragement. In short, actively creating an atmosphere of respecting morality for good, rewarding good and rewarding evil in the whole society is a necessary soil for effectively cultivating and cultivating socialist friendly values.
