How to understand the modern connotation of craftsman spirit

After the 2016 government work report proposed “cultivating the craftsman spirit of excellence”, it attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Lu Ban and Huang Daopo in ancient my country are both representatives of outstanding craftsmen; in modern times, Tongrentang advocates that "no matter how complicated the processing is, we must not save labor, and no matter how expensive the taste is, we must not waste material resources", which also fully embodies the spirit of craftsmanship. However, in the context of the transformation from "Made in China" to "Created in China" and from a country with large human resources to a country with strong human resources, modern craftsmen have new historical missions and social responsibilities, and the spirit of craftsmanship has also been given more new connotations.

From the perspective of the needs of economic and social development, modern craftsmen must at least possess the following professional spirits:

First, the innovative spirit of excellence. As we all know, my country ranks first in the world in steel production, ranks first in high-speed rail speed, and has the largest number of college students in the world, but it cannot produce a small ballpoint pen ball; Germany's population is only 1/17 of our country, but it has more than 2,300 people in the world. famous brand. This is the embarrassing situation our country’s economic development currently encounters. The President of Siemens said: "It is the inherent duty and obligation of our German enterprises to strive for excellence in manufacturing products!" The popular explanation of excellence is "There is no best, only better." Only by relying on this spirit can our country produce better products. Many products are of the same high quality as the manufacturing powerhouses, creating world-famous Chinese brands. In the new economy, manufacturing and service industries are integrating. Scientists and engineers also need the spirit of craftsman, and craftsmen also need the spirit of innovation. Many people lament that Chinese products are first-rate products, second-rate packaging, and third-rate profits. In fact, this understanding is one-sided. Under market economy conditions, cheap and high-quality products will not exist for a long time. Excess profits will always be a reward for product innovation. To encourage innovation, we need to have a strict performance appraisal mechanism, reward those who succeed in innovation, be tolerant of those who fail in innovation, and resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of "doing the same thing well and doing bad things, and avoiding problems when encountering them".

The second is the scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts. Social development requires scientific and technological progress, and scientific and technological progress requires the continuous exploration of laws. The scientific method of seeking truth from facts to achieve innovation is the basic path for economic transformation and the endogenous driving force for progress. If China wants to overcome the middle-income trap and become a veritable manufacturing power, it must rely on the magic weapon of seeking truth from facts. Any overgeneralization, literal interpretation, book-only, specious and specious approach is incompatible with the new economy. In fact, during the long feudal historical period of our country, a cultural model was formed that hindered the development of science. It was believed that all kinds of production technologies were "trivial skills" and that being good at flexibility and plundering was the "skill". "Don't hit the wall and don't look back" has always been a sarcastic comment on the unsophisticated in the past. However, at the advent of the new global industrial revolution, we need to loudly call for the persistent spirit of "driving nails" and "one muscle" to resolve We can't let these people suffer in the slightest. Tolerance only applies to innovators; there is no tolerance for those who follow the old ways and follow the crowd.

The third is the professionalism of selfless work. Manufacturing high-quality products requires focused and meticulous work. It requires guarding against arrogance and impatience, working hard over a long period of time, and there is no room for slacking off or tossing. In the early days of my country's industrialization, the "Daqing Spirit" of hard work was needed to overcome the difficulties of backward technology and poor conditions; under the conditions of foreign technological blockade, the "two bombs and one satellite spirit" were needed to enhance national strength; in the context of global integration, the "Spirit of Two Bombs and One Satellite" was needed In the "Internet" era, in order to realize the dream of "Made in China 2025", it is even more necessary to strive for a world-class fighting spirit. "There will be no pie in the sky." It is very dangerous to imagine success by relying on opportunism. Practices such as manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods, opportunism, and "free riding" will ultimately end up shooting oneself in the foot. In order to enable entrepreneurs to concentrate on their work, we must protect the legitimate rights and interests of all workers in the system and achieve fair distribution through a scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism
