In the long-term struggle of revolution, construction, and reform, the Chinese Communist Party has always paid attention to the cultivation and use of spiritual power. Mao Zedong has repeatedly emphasized that "people are always a little mental." After reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping repeatedly asked the entire party to uphold and carry forward the five revolutionary spirits of revolution and desperation, strict discipline and self-sacrifice, grandeur and selflessness, overwhelming all enemies and overcoming difficulties, revolutionary optimism, and eliminating all difficulties.

Since the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the field of spiritual construction, the Chinese Communist Party has concluded from the practical struggles of the people and the masses that they are united and united. They are not afraid of difficulties, stubborn struggle, perseverance, and dare to triumph. , The spirit of "two bombs and one star" of self-reliance, hard work, great coordination and courage to climb, and so on.

In the new century, what kind of spiritual motivation does the whole party and the people need? On January 10, 2001, Jiang Zemin delivered a speech at the National Conference of Propaganda Ministers. When talking about "promoting and promoting the spirit of unremitting struggle for the realization of socialist modernization in the whole society", he proposed to vigorously promote and promote the "five spirits" in the entire party and society. These "five spirits" are:

"The spirit of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts." It requires our party to both emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts. Always adhere to the viewpoint of the development of the practice of Marxist history, adhere to practice as the sole criterion for testing truth, constantly research new situations, solve new problems, form new understandings, and open up new realms. "Follow the times and be creative."

It requires our party to always stand at the forefront of the development of the times and continuously advance the cause we are engaged in. Use Marxism's broad perspective to observe the world, use the latest knowledge of the contemporary to enrich yourself, not only the books, not dogmatic, keep pace with the times, and constantly promote theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, and scientific and technological innovation. Eliminate the mental state of closing your eyes, listening to the sky, observing the rules, and ignoring the development requirements of the times.

"The spirit of advancing with difficulty and indomitable spirit." It requires all comrades of the party and the people of the whole country to continue to strengthen themselves, strive for good governance, become rich and think source, and become rich and enterprising, and continuously climb new heights in the cause. Always keep awake in mind that in order to succeed in the cause of modernization, there must be a steel will that is not afraid of hardships and tenacious struggles, a heroic spirit of perseverance and dare to win.

"Spirit of hard work and practical results". It requires that the Party's fine traditions be carried forward throughout the party, so that diligent and frugal nation-building and all-doing business are common practice in the whole party. We vigorously advocate a good atmosphere of telling the truth, doing practical things, seeking practical results, and doing our part with due diligence, and resolutely oppose and criticize being an official and being a master, playing tricks, formalism, and talking about the bad style of misunderstanding the country.

"Indifferent fame and selfless dedication." It requires cadres and party members at all levels of the party to have the worry and anxiety of the world, the joy of the world, the character of the people and the party's cause, a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility, integrity and dedication, The party and people are extremely responsible. Treat yourself, comrades, organizations and the masses correctly. Learn more, entertain less, give more, think less, and strive to be a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person out of low-level interests, and a person who benefits the people.

The "five spirits" is a high-level summary of the spirit and style that the entire party and society should have in the new historical period. The cultivation of spiritual character under historical conditions has specific guidance. The specific content of the "five spirits" not only inherits the fine traditions and style of our party, but also has strong era characteristics and pertinence.
