The development of the times has promoted the cultivation of national spirit. The development trend of the times is the coordinate of cultivating national spirit and the driving force of carrying forward national spirit. Today, peace and development are the themes of the times. Under this theme, while carrying forward the national spirit, we are required to cultivate the national spirit of forging ahead, pioneering and innovating, and striving for strength, so as to get rid of the traditional old habits of being conformist and content with the status quo, accelerate the development of the country while maintaining world peace and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Entering the 2 1 century, many new situations and features have emerged in the development of the times. The world pattern is multipolar, the trend of economic globalization is becoming more and more obvious, the knowledge economy and information revolution are coming, the competition between big countries in science and technology and economy is becoming increasingly fierce, and cultural diversity is in the ascendant. The new characteristics of the development of these times require the connotation of national spirit to be continuously enriched and expanded, including the cultivation of national spirit such as openness, competition, compatibility, science and rationality, so that the national spirit is full of the flavor of the times and conforms to the development trend of the times.

The requirements of the times have deepened the content of national spirit. The socialist market economy, as the arrangement of the socialist economic system in the new period, needs a spiritual concept that is compatible with it. Establishing a socialist market economic system not only means rebuilding our economic life, but also shows the need to cultivate national spirit as the spiritual pillar of the market economy. Market economy pays attention to efficiency and benefit, demands equality and freedom, and emphasizes competition and honesty. Market economy is both a legal economy and a moral economy, and its development needs political democratization. These new requirements of market economy development have greatly deepened the content of national spirit, including carrying forward the spirit of hard struggle and attaching importance to morality, and striving to cultivate the spirit of equality, freedom, competition, rule of law, contract and democracy. The cultivation of national spirit is the result of the development of socialist market economy, and the development requirement of socialist market economy is an important driving force for the birth of national spirit in the new period.

National spirit is the core cultural element of a nation's survival and development. Carrying forward and cultivating the spirit of the Chinese nation is a powerful ideological motive force for the Chinese nation's endless life, reproduction and development. In today's era, college students should become a new force to carry forward and cultivate the national spirit. As the ideological pillar of a nation, national spirit is always associated with the national historical tasks in each historical period. In modern society, the mission of the Chinese nation is to overthrow the oppression of the three mountains and establish a new China. Entering the 2 1 century, a grand blueprint for building a well-off society in an all-round way is presented to the Chinese nation. For developing countries like us, building a well-off society in an all-round way is a very arduous task. The first thing it encounters is the challenge of science and technology. In today's era when scientific and technological progress is increasingly becoming the leading force for a nation and a country to enhance its comprehensive national strength, whoever does not occupy the commanding heights of science and technology will be in a passive position in the fierce competition. Because of this, the party and the state have formulated the development strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. At the same time, we also encounter the challenge of values. If the 20th century is the century of military and economic competition, then 2 1 century is undoubtedly the century of economic and cultural competition, and in the final analysis, it is also the century of national spirit competition. The Chinese nation has made outstanding contributions to the development of mankind, and our backwardness is only a modern thing. Building a well-off society in an all-round way is related to whether the Chinese nation can achieve great rejuvenation in the new century and whether the spirit of the Chinese nation can be passed down from generation to generation.

Youth makes the country prosperous, and youth makes the country strong. College students are the whole social group receiving higher education, and their mental state is closely related to building a well-off society in an all-round way. The challenge of science and technology is essentially the challenge of talent quality and national spirit. The development of science and technology is inseparable from people's thoughts and feelings, from people's moral responsibility, that is, from the encouragement of national spirit. Pavlov famously said, "Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have their motherland." Think about why our "two bombs and one satellite" succeeded under very difficult conditions. Apart from technical factors, isn't it because scientists are unwilling to lag behind and want to smash foreign "nuclear" blackmail? University is not only a place to impart knowledge, but also the cradle of "spiritual education". Mr. Wen Yiduo said: "The poet's main talent is' love' and love his motherland and people." People with higher education should have the spirit of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". Compared with developed countries, our overall strength in science and technology is backward, but college students have the responsibility to shorten this gap. We have reason to believe that as long as college students can "study for the rise of China", there will be no insurmountable difficulties in the journey of scientific and technological development.

Building a well-off society in an all-round way is not only a question of economic construction, but also a question of carrying forward and cultivating the spirit of the Chinese nation. The idea of building a well-off society in an all-round way is itself a program and a banner, which embodies the common ideal and value pursuit of our Chinese nation. Whether this banner can be held high forever, in a sense, depends on the college students' recognition of this program and the value choice of the Chinese nation. The ideological and theoretical basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way is China Marxism, namely Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, which are the "essence" and "soul" of the Chinese national spirit. It is under the guidance of this thought that the realm of Chinese national spirit has been greatly enriched and promoted. At present, the core of the infiltration of western society into Chinese culture is to try to shake the guiding position of Marxism in the field of social ideology in China, destroy the ideological foundation of Chinese national spirit and change China's national values. Universities have always been regarded as the spreading places of the achievements of human civilization, and Marxism is the best cultural achievement created by human society and the most advanced "core" of the Chinese national spirit, so universities have the responsibility to summarize and spread it. This requires college students to always stand at the height of national development and national rejuvenation in the years to come, and to recognize the role of Marxism in theoretical guidance, unifying thoughts and rallying will in the process of cultivating the Chinese national spirit, thus making the Chinese national spirit a valuable spiritual wealth and a great driving force for building a well-off society in an all-round way.
