Symbol: world peace, friendship and unity.
Embodiment: sportsmanship, nationality and internationality.
Pierre De Coubertin proposed.
Coubertin's idea of reviving the Olympic Games is not retro. He suggested restoring the organizational form and celebration ceremony of the Olympic Games, but thought it necessary to inject new elements to meet the requirements of modern society. The internationality of the Games, the diversity of sports forms, the amateurism of athletes and the friendly cooperation between people will consolidate and strengthen world peace and eliminate racial discrimination, which is the Olympic spirit.
1894, Coubertin convened the first international sports conference. At the meeting, he put forward a proposal to restore the Olympic Games, which was approved. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee was established. From 65438 to 0896, the first modern Olympic Games was a great success. The Olympic spirit was born. The purpose of the Olympic spirit is to promote the spiritual development of human beings, so as to cultivate people with all-round development. Its original intention is to educate people, exercise people's character, cultivate people's morality and develop the ideal of the ancient Greeks-"beauty and health". The educational object of the Olympic spirit is not only the people who participate in sports, but also the people.
The Olympic spirit is a great miracle of modern social civilization. It hopes to build a society without any discrimination, cultivate sincere understanding, cooperation and friendship between people, and recognize the honor of fair competition under equal conditions, setting a unique and glorious example for people in other fields of society.
Coubertin believed that the Olympic spirit was an international system. It is completely independent. Therefore, from the beginning, he did not allow any interference from political, economic or social factors. He also created an independent International Olympic Committee for this purpose, stipulating that the main responsibility of the International Olympic Committee is to ensure the realization of Olympic ideals and principles with its loyalty and dedication. In this way, the independence of the Olympic spirit has been guaranteed all over the world.
Spiritual connotation:
Olympics is a competitive spirit. The Olympic spirit is a self-challenging spirit of "faster, stronger and higher", and it is also a fair, just, equal and free sports spirit. This spirit of self-challenge and fair competition embodied in the Olympics constitutes the cornerstone of contemporary human self-improvement and social communication.
Olympic Games is a life attitude. The Olympic spirit emphasizes that people have a healthy body, an optimistic spirit and their love and pursuit of a better life through self-exercise and self-participation. This optimistic and positive attitude towards life is a powerful driving force for us to overcome all challenges with confidence.
Olympics is a philosophy of life. The Olympic Charter points out that "Olympism is a philosophy of life, which combines physical, mental and spiritual qualities in a balanced way and improves them." The Olympic Movement integrates sports with culture and education, making people's body and mind, spirit and quality perfect and harmonious, and fully developing people's potential and virtue. This is by far the best and most perfect philosophy of life.
Olympics is a harmonious, free, healthy and positive modern ethics. The lifestyle that Olympism wants to build is based on the fun experienced in struggle, the educational value of excellent examples and the basic respect for universal morality. The ethical value in the Olympic spirit is the greatest respect and advocacy for human potential and free creation, human civilization and fine order, and it is the inheritance and development of all fine moral values and ethical norms of human beings. It guides people to pursue an optimal ethics of survival and development, which is the guarantee for the coordinated development of human beings and the environment, individuals and society.
The Olympic Movement is the common heritage of human civilization. Enthusiastic competitions, the training of young volunteers, the construction of stadiums, the conception of urban planning, wonderful artistic performances, and the broadcast and watching of events covering the whole world have all become valuable Olympic heritages. In the era of globalization, the Olympic movement has become a grand gathering of civilizations and cultural spirits of all countries.
Today, the Olympic Games has become the common aspiration, expectation and aspiration of all mankind. With the passage of time, it has been enriched and added with new connotations, and has become a valuable spiritual and cultural heritage for human innovation and growth.
