What is the spirit of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone?

The "Shenzhen Spirit" was formed in 1990, and originally it was "pioneering, innovative, united and dedicated". From March to August, 2002, Shenzhen held a big discussion on "How to keep pace with the times in Shenzhen spirit", which aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life.

The Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal Committee concentrated on the suggestions of the people of the whole city, and after careful study, decided to summarize the spirit of Shenzhen into four sentences and sixteen words. The spirit of the new Shenzhen is "pioneering and innovative, honest and law-abiding, pragmatic and efficient, United and dedicated".

Important significance

The urban spirit plays a great role in the survival and development of the city, with a distinct banner-oriented role and an inexhaustible source of power. Urban spirit, like a banner, embodies the ideological soul of a city, represents the overall image of a city, highlights its distinctive features and leads its future development.

If a city has no spirit, there will be no soul, no accurate positioning of core concepts, and no source of spiritual strength to strive for the first place. Only by building our own urban spirit can we establish an image externally, unite people at home and make the whole city unite and seek common development.

Shenzhen spirit is rooted in the excellent traditional cultural soil of the Chinese nation and bred in Shenzhen, which is at the forefront of reform and opening up. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of the times and innovative spirit, and is an important spiritual driving force for Shenzhen people to create a new situation in the new era.
