Jinggangshan is the first rural revolutionary base in China and the starting point of China's revolution from failure to victory. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, represented by Mao Zedong and Zhu De, found the correct way of "encircling the city from the countryside and seizing power by armed forces" in the arduous struggle in Jinggangshan, and finally won the victory of the China Revolution. Why did the revolutionary kindling in Jinggangshan ignite the fire of "the armed regime of workers and peasants" and illuminate the future of China revolution? The revolutionary struggle is arduous and the living conditions are harsh. Why can we gather a large number of people of insight in Jinggangshan and persist in the revolutionary struggle in the face of repeated repression by the enemy? It is precisely because of the great Jinggangshan spirit of "firm belief, hard struggle, seeking truth from facts, daring to break new paths, relying on the masses and being brave in victory" nurtured by the blood and life of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, countless revolutionary heroes and the vast revolutionary army that she embodies the fine tradition and style of our party. In the new historical period, it is of great practical significance to study and carry forward the Jinggangshan spirit.

During the Jinggangshan struggle, there were many touching stories and stories of revolutionary ancestors on the land of Jinggangshan, which was a vivid embodiment of Jinggangshan spirit. To this end, in order to help you further study and carry forward the Jinggangshan spirit, we have specially launched the column "Jinggangshan Tradition".

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 broad masses of people in China as its fundamental purpose. During the Yan 'an period, the slogan of "serving the people" was put forward loudly, and it was earnestly practiced by the whole 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.
