On August 8, 2008, the five-ring flag of the Olympic Games and the five-star red flag of People's Republic of China (PRC) will shine in the sky of Beijing, and the Olympic spirit and the national spirit of the Chinese nation will compete to radiate brilliant brilliance at this solemn moment. We China people should embrace the Olympic Games with open arms and enjoy the Olympic spirit wholeheartedly. At the same time, we should carry forward and practice the Olympic spirit wholeheartedly, and sublimate the great national spirit with a humble attitude, an open attitude, a broad mind and the demeanor of a big country.
1. Olympic spirit and national spirit have a solid foundation of integration and exchange.
From the essential connotation, the Olympic spirit and the national spirit have internal consistency. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out: "People of all ethnic groups in China have always carried forward the great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, hard-working, courage and self-improvement with patriotism as the core". The essence of the Olympic spirit is closely related to our national spirit. Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, pointed out when he personally designed the five-ring symbol: "The five rings symbolize that the five continents are closely linked through the Olympic ideal"; At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, all the athletes walked hand in hand as brothers, making people feel that the world is a big family. All these show that the Olympic spirit, like our national spirit, also has the connotation of unity and unity. In 490 BC, in order to convey the good news of victory and the message of peace, the Greek soldier Ferdinand ran all the way from the marathon plain to Athens, but unfortunately died of overwork. The torchbearers in ancient Greece ran and shouted "Peace!" When they spread the flame to the war-torn city-state. Stop the war! Take part in the sports meeting! "slogan; The Olympic Charter clearly states that it "supports human peace and mutual understanding, including advocating the observance of the Olympic Truce". All these show that the Olympic spirit, like our national spirit, also has the connotation of loving peace. Volunteers are the cornerstone of the Olympic movement, and the selfless volunteers in Qian Qian, Qian Qian, hold up the grand cause of the modern Olympic movement with their diligent hands; All previous Olympic Games bravely fought against all kinds of negative behaviors such as discrimination and obstruction of the torch relay. All these show that the Olympic spirit, like our national spirit, also has the connotation of hard work and courage. The Olympic motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger" not only refers to constantly overcoming oneself and challenging new limits in the arena, but also encourages people to constantly surpass themselves in all aspects of life and always maintain vigor and vitality; Olympic Games are held one after another, the flame is lit again and again, the passion keeps burning, and the dream is passed down from generation to generation. All these show that the Olympic spirit, like our national spirit, also has the connotation of self-improvement. The high consistency between the Olympic spirit and our national spirit in essence determines that we can sublimate the national spirit by carrying forward the Olympic spirit, which is based on maintaining the essential connotation of the national spirit.
From the development characteristics, both the Olympic spirit and the national spirit are open and inclusive. The national spirit of the Chinese nation has shown great openness and inclusiveness since ancient times, which has made the long-standing national spirit endless and prosperous after thousands of years. Under the socialist conditions, the openness and tolerance of national spirit is more conscious and rational. The national spirit of contemporary China is the unity of dominant values and pluralistic values. As the unity of dominance and diversity, the national spirit inevitably requires the outstanding spiritual and cultural achievements of all mankind as the resources for its survival and development, and it must also contain all outstanding spiritual and cultural achievements of mankind. The Olympic spirit is also open and inclusive. People of different colors, different costumes, different languages and different lifestyles all over the world meet in the Olympic Movement, and various spiritual cultures gather in the Olympic Movement. In the face of these differences, people who host and participate in the Olympic Games one after another have created an open and inclusive cultural atmosphere, so that these differences can live in harmony, make differences become the driving force for people to learn from each other, and make differences merge into wonderful things. It is this openness and inclusiveness that makes the excellent cultures of all ethnic groups gather in the Olympic Games and makes the Olympic spirit a masterpiece of human spirit. The openness and inclusiveness of the Olympic spirit and national spirit determine that it is completely feasible to sublimate the national spirit in carrying forward the Olympic spirit.
From the perspective of value orientation, both the Olympic spirit and the national spirit insist on promoting the progress of civilization development. The diversity of world culture determines the inevitability of human cultural exchange, which provides a powerful driving force for the development of human civilization and constantly promotes the prosperity and development of human civilization on a larger scale and at a higher level. As a promoter of human civilization, the Chinese nation has always adhered to the value orientation of progress and persisted in maintaining and promoting the diversity and development of civilization. For thousands of years, "harmony without difference" and "taking virtue as goodness" have always proved the great wisdom and broad mind of the people of China. Brilliant Chinese civilization is based on the protection and prosperity of the cultures of all ethnic groups in the Chinese family, and the spiritual treasure house of the Chinese nation is formed on the basis of carrying forward the excellent spiritual culture of all ethnic groups. It can be said that it is the basic value orientation of maintaining and promoting the diversity of civilization and promoting the development of civilization that has achieved profound national spirit. Moreover, this value orientation is a fundamental attitude of the Chinese nation towards other national civilizations in the world. Hu Jintao clearly pointed out at the 60th anniversary summit of the United Nations that "the diversity of civilizations should be maintained in the spirit of equality and openness". By adhering to this value orientation, the Chinese nation can make due contributions to maintaining a vibrant and colorful world civilization and human culture. The Olympic spirit, like the national spirit of the Chinese nation, always adheres to the basic value orientation of maintaining and promoting the diversity of civilization and promoting the development of civilization. When Coubertin personally designed the five-ring logo, he pointed out: "The five colors represent the colors of the national flags of all countries in the world." In fact, respecting the diversity of civilization and promoting the development of civilization are printed on the banner of the Olympic spirit as a basic value orientation. Adhering to this value orientation will make the modern Olympic Games a huge stage to fully display the cultural diversity of human beings and a bridge and link for the cultural exchange, integration and improvement of all ethnic groups. By adhering to such a value orientation, people participating in the Olympic Games will be able to know, understand, appreciate and learn other cultures with the broad mind of citizens of the world, thus promoting exchanges and cooperation with people of other countries and promoting the development and progress of the whole human civilization. The Olympic spirit and the national spirit have the same value orientation, which makes all nationalities in the world, including the Chinese nation, stand on the same front of opposing cultural hegemonism, maintaining and promoting the diversity of civilizations, and promoting the development and progress of human civilization, which determines that subliming the national spirit in carrying forward the Olympic spirit has broad development prospects.
2. Carrying forward the Olympic spirit provides a new opportunity, carrier and growing point for sublimating the national spirit.
Carrying forward the Olympic spirit provides a new opportunity to sublimate the national spirit. The Olympic Games is the highest international sports event, focusing on the eyes of hundreds of millions of people in China and touching the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in China. People are eager to participate in the Olympic Games, bid for the Olympic Games and host the Olympic Games. From 72 years ago when the first China man walked into the Olympic Games to 1984 when he won the first Olympic gold medal, it took China people 48 years to achieve the breakthrough of zero Olympic gold medal. From1July, 1990, when Deng Xiaoping put forward that "China will bid for the Olympic Games" to 200 1 year, China people experienced a difficult course of 1 1. It can be said that hosting the Olympic Games is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the Chinese nation. The Olympic spirit that comes with the Olympic Games provides a good opportunity to sublimate the national spirit. The Olympic Games is a big stage for world cultural exchange. The great handshake and gathering of eastern and western civilizations will certainly provide a wide range of spiritual and cultural resources for the sublimation of national spirit, so it is precious and an opportunity worth cherishing and grasping. With the realization of the dream of China Olympic Games in 2008, the Olympic feelings of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters have been continuously sublimated and released. Such Olympic feelings are the concentrated display of national passion and national spirit. For the first time, the passion of the Chinese nation has been so vividly reflected in international sports events, and it is also a rare opportunity for the Chinese nation to turn such national passion and cohesion into a powerful driving force to sublimate the national spirit.
Carrying forward the Olympic spirit provides a new carrier for sublimating the national spirit. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has created a great national spirit with production activities, emergency rescue and disaster relief, foreign invasion, construction reform, development and innovation as the carriers. Today, hosting the Olympic Games and carrying forward the Olympic spirit is a brand-new practice of the Chinese nation and provides a brand-new carrier for us to sublimate the national spirit. The Olympic Games itself is a sports event, but it transcends sports and carries forward the ideas and concepts of justice in the form of sports. As Coubertin once said, one of the basic functions of the Olympics is education. Educating people and spreading culture through sports will eventually promote more ideas on the platform of the Olympic Games, and then become a principle that people generally follow. We hold the Olympic Games and carry forward the Olympic spirit, that is, we will hold a series of sports events, at the same time, let the concept of the Olympic spirit enter people's inner world and achieve the special effect of sublimating the national spirit.
Carrying forward the Olympic spirit provides a new growing point for sublimating the national spirit. Organizing the Olympic Games and carrying forward the Olympic spirit will not only make our nation more mature, but also give a new baptism to the national spirit. Although the Olympic spirit, like the national spirit of the Chinese nation, has the connotation of unity, peace-loving, diligence, courage and self-improvement, it also has many other valuable spiritual elements. Carrying forward the Olympic spirit can inject these spiritual elements into the connotation of the national spirit and make the national spirit grow further. As a grand event of sports competition, the Olympic Games is based on honest competition and fair competition. Carrying forward the Olympic spirit can crack down on match-fixing and black whistle, resist and oppose the use of stimulants, and at the same time integrate the concepts of honesty, trustworthiness, fairness and justice into the blood of the national spirit; The Olympic Games is a grand gathering to integrate social forces through various voluntary services, and its orientation is to vigorously advocate the spirit of social volunteerism. Carrying forward the Olympic spirit can adjust the relationship between people, people and the collective, people and society, make the whole society contribute to the preparation of the Olympic Games, and make the concept of "I am for everyone and everyone is for me" more deeply integrated into the national spirit; The Olympic spirit advocates looking at the civilized achievements of all countries with a broad vision, embracing the spiritual culture of all ethnic groups with a broad mind, replacing discrimination with respect, exclusion with communication, confrontation with competition and conflict with * * *. Carrying forward the Olympic spirit will ensure that all Olympic events are held in a peaceful, harmonious and friendly atmosphere, and at the same time strengthen the concept of mutual respect and harmonious coexistence in the national spirit, and so on. If the Olympic spirit is widely absorbed, the national spirit of the Chinese nation will maintain its vigorous vitality in constant renewal.
Third, based on the practice of carrying forward the Olympic spirit, we will constantly open up a new realm of national spirit.
Carry forward the Olympic spirit and make it a new driving force to sublimate the national spirit. To carry forward the Olympic spirit, we need not only to accept and tolerate the mind and tolerance of the Olympic spirit, but also to practice the realm and quality of the Olympic spirit. There is no doubt that the people of China have the ability and quality to host a "distinctive and high-level" Olympic Games. However, we should also see that there is still a lot of work to be done to improve the quality and realm of the masses. For example, in some places, bad habits such as spitting, littering, talking loudly and ignoring traffic regulations have not been completely eliminated; Lack of good faith and fraud are still outstanding; There is still a certain market for uncivilized behaviors such as booing and losing in the stadium; Wait a minute. These are not conducive to the successful hosting of the Olympic Games, nor to the great development of the Olympic spirit. We should strive to turn the inevitable requirement of holding high the Olympic spirit into the internal motive force for the whole nation to purify the spiritual realm and sublimate the national spirit. It is necessary to vigorously publicize and popularize the Olympic spirit in the whole society, so that the ideas contained in the Olympic spirit and the requirements for carrying forward the Olympic spirit are well-known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sense of mission and responsibility of carrying forward the Olympic spirit in the whole society is enhanced; It is necessary to transform the appeal of the Olympic spirit into the influence on social civilization and fashion, and to transform people's Olympic complex and patriotic enthusiasm into the source of subliming morality, improving concepts and tending to civilization.
Carry forward the Olympic spirit and make it a new element to sublimate the national spirit. The values and spiritual nutrition contained in the Olympic spirit are the common wealth of all mankind. These spiritual wealth can enrich our national spirit. It must be noted that the Olympic movement originated from Greek civilization, and most of the previous Olympic Games were held in western countries, so it is inevitable that the Olympic spirit interpreted by westerners will be confused with western culture. Adhere to the guidance of the socialist core value system, scientifically analyze the conditions, mechanisms and results of the positive role of the Olympic spirit, combine the basic national conditions of contemporary China and the requirements of developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, put yourself first and serve us. We should take the opportunity of hosting the Olympic Games to carry out multi-level cultural exchanges and absorb the essence of national culture from all levels, so that the Olympic spirit, which is composed of outstanding spiritual and cultural elements of all ethnic groups, can become an available resource of the spiritual and cultural system of the Chinese nation and promote the development and progress of the national spirit.
Carry forward the Olympic spirit and make it a new mechanism to sublimate the national spirit. Since the success of 200 1 Olympic bid, China has vigorously promoted the Olympic spirit in the whole society. From the three concepts of "Green Olympics", "Hi-tech Olympics" and "People's Olympics" to the Olympic slogan of "One World, One Dream"; From "Etiquette Beijing, People's Olympics" theme activities to "Smile Beijing" volunteer service activities; From the "one heart and one mind" exchange activities of Olympic education to the mass participation activities of "national fitness and Olympic counterparts", the Olympic spirit has been successfully popularized among the people. In particular, the global Olympic torch relay with the theme of "harmonious journey" will convey the Olympic spirit to thousands of families. In the process of carrying out these activities, we have accumulated a series of valuable experiences. These experiences provide us with many useful inspirations for carrying forward the national spirit. For example, to carry forward the Olympic spirit, we must implement the Olympic concept in all practical activities, encourage and support the people to participate in practical activities extensively, and let the Olympic concept be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This tells us that in order to sublimate the national spirit, we must infiltrate the correct ideas advocated by the whole nation into operational and feasible activities, and mobilize the people to participate in these activities enthusiastically through organization, so that the national spirit can be manifested and carried forward. To carry forward the Olympic spirit, we must turn the people's enthusiasm for the Olympic Games into a powerful driving force for practicing the Olympic spirit. This tells us that in order to sublimate the national spirit, we must turn the people's enthusiasm for rejuvenating the nation into the driving force for practicing the national spirit and turn the national spirit into a huge material force.
English:
New Beijing, Great Olympics
Since Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, the 2008 Olympic Games is the most exciting and anticipated event in Beijing. However, the focus should be shifted from making promises to realizing them.
In my opinion, Beijing still has a long way to go to bridge the gap between promise and reality. First of all, infrastructure construction should be the primary consideration. Infrastructure such as transportation system should receive our continuous attention. 1. Is traffic jam an era? Beijing always has a headache. The sight of vehicles crawling inch by inch in long lines will definitely cause great incontinence and damage the image of the city. Next, to increase convenience, the whole city? Planning is indispensable. If time permits, the redesign of urban layout and the adjustment of architectural style will provide a better environment for cultivating this feature. The integration of oriental elegance and international grandeur will dominate the surrounding buildings. In order to achieve this effect, Beijing should first ask? Grading architects and making an overall plan. Third, improve the quality of the population. To build an international metropolis, "hardware" and "software" are very important.
However, Rome was not built in a day. In order to realize the promise of "New Beijing, Great Olympics", facts speak louder than words.
