At present, there are two main explanations about the connotation of Huangpu spirit: one is to summarize Huangpu spirit into four words: "patriotism, revolution"; The second is to summarize the spirit of Huangpu as "sacrifice, unity and responsibility". Some people have further elaborated on these six words, thinking that with the spirit of sacrifice, we can be selfless and fearless, win more with less, and be ten thousand; With the spirit of unity, we can be as close as brothers, coordinate and cooperate, see the truth in adversity, and share life and death; With the spirit of responsibility, you can carry out orders, be responsible to the end, and never stop until you reach your goal. It should be said that both of these explanations are reasonable, just because the angles and levels of understanding are different and the expressions are different.

Although Huangpu spirit was born in the war-torn era, it still has its practical significance today and still needs to be carried forward. First of all, carrying forward the Huangpu spirit is helpful to vigorously carry forward the national spirit; Secondly, carrying forward the spirit of Huangpu will help to enhance the sense of honor and responsibility of Huangpu students, and help to win people's hearts and gather strength; Thirdly, carrying forward the spirit of Huangpu will help to enhance the sense of glory and mission of future generations of Huangpu; Fourthly, carrying forward the spirit of Whampoa will help the whole society understand the history of cooperation between Whampoa Military Academy and China and enhance the great unity of the Chinese nation.
