In the higher pursuit, it is also through ideological and political education and ideological and political work to unify thoughts and form the same values and specific ways of thinking and behavior, that is, to form advanced military culture. All these require us to put cultural construction in a more prominent position in the ideological and political construction of the army. Since the founding of our army, our army has always paid attention to cultural construction and accumulated rich experience, which has played a very important role in ideological and political construction and improving our army's combat effectiveness. At present, the economic globalization is accelerating, the scientific and technological revolution is advancing by leaps and bounds, the information society is coming at a rapid pace, and culture is blending with economy, politics, science and technology, and military affairs, playing an increasingly prominent role in army building and preparation for military struggle. Facing the new situation in the new century, we must pay more attention to the construction of military culture, enrich the ideological and political construction of the army and improve the cultural content and quality. This is a new requirement put forward by the development of the times for the ideological and political construction of our army.
First, based on the new changes of the times and social development, we should strive to build the core value system of advanced socialist culture in the ideological and political construction of the army.
To strengthen the construction of advanced socialist culture in the ideological and political construction of the army, we must put the construction of core value system in the first place. Values are the core of culture. If we grasp this point, we will grasp the foundation of advanced cultural construction. At present, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the market economy is gradually improving, the economic structure and economic interests, social organization forms, social life styles, jobs and employment methods are increasingly diversified, and the spiritual life and values of military camps are also showing some new situations and characteristics. While fully seeing and affirming the inevitability and progress of the diversity of spiritual life and values in military camps, how to prevent and overcome its negative effects, firmly establish the core value system of advanced socialist culture, and make it play a leading role in the thinking and behavior of officers and men has become a major issue that cannot but be seriously considered in the ideological and political construction of our army at present.
To build the core value system of socialist advanced culture in the ideological and political construction of the army, we must base ourselves on the changes of the times and social development and strive to arm the officers and men's minds with Marxism, especially the party's innovative theory; We must resolutely resist the erosion of feudal culture and decadent bourgeois ideology and culture and firmly establish Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal. We should strengthen national self-confidence and pride, keep in mind the historical mission of national rejuvenation, firmly establish the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and establish the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core; We should inherit the excellent moral quality of the Chinese nation, deeply understand the new requirements of social morality in the new century and new stage, and firmly establish the socialist concept of honor and disgrace and moral outlook with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as the main content; It is necessary to inherit and carry forward the innovative spirit and fighting spirit that are suitable for fulfilling our military's historical mission; It is necessary to unify the core values such as the guiding ideology of Marxism, the national spirit of Socialism with Chinese characteristics with ideals and beliefs as the core, patriotism with serving the people wholeheartedly as the core, the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, so as to make them an organic whole, integrate them into all aspects and the whole process of ideological and political construction in the army, and give full play to their great role in unifying thoughts, inspiring morale and leading actions.
At the beginning of the new year, the training ground of a certain unit of Jinan Air Force is in full swing everywhere. The Ministry focuses on actual combat, pays strict attention to training from difficulties, and trains elite soldiers based on their own duties.
Second, grasp the historical mission and new requirements of the army in the new century and new stage, and vigorously create and improve the martial arts culture of the people's army in ideological and political construction.
Military morality is a special form of social morality, which deeply affects military activities by evaluating good and evil, and is an important guarantee for the successful completion of military tasks. Clausewitz, a famous military philosopher, has specially studied the role of Wushu, believing that it is one of the most important spiritual forces in the war, just like the commander's talent and the national spirit of the army. The bigger the goal, the more arduous the task, the longer the test, the more dispersed the troops, and the more the troops need martial arts. It is this excellent quality, like sparkling metal extracted from ore, that has made many amazing achievements and great undertakings in military history. This makes any army with strong fighting capacity attach great importance to the role of Wushu, and consciously take Wushu as an important part of the ideological construction of the army, and build and cultivate it as a culture, that is, the universally applicable value principles and codes of conduct in military camps, so as to demand and unify the words and deeds of all soldiers.
It is a prominent feature of China's military activities to attach importance to the role of Wushu, emphasize "building troops by virtue", and strive to cultivate and shape "teachers of benevolence and virtue" and "teachers with virtue". In the long-term military struggle, especially in the war of defending the country and defending the country, the Chinese nation has formed excellent Wushu cultural traditions, such as paying attention to integrity, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, daring to fight and sacrifice, taking the overall situation into account, and strictly observing discipline, which have provided a strong spiritual impetus for the survival and development of the Chinese nation. The people's army led by China * * * Production Party is the inheritor and promoter of the excellent Wushu cultural tradition of the Chinese nation. During the war years, the lofty martial arts of officers and men played a great role in the success of our army, from inferiority to superiority, from childhood to adulthood, until the final victory.
To build and improve advanced Wushu culture, we must conscientiously sum up and absorb historical experience and wisdom to make it neutral.
Inheriting the excellent Wushu cultural tradition of the Chinese nation; We must adhere to the guiding position of Marxist moral thought and combine it with Socialism with Chinese characteristics's advanced moral culture; We must base ourselves on the development and changes of military practice and adapt to the new characteristics, new missions, new functions and new requirements of the army. To build and improve advanced Wushu culture is to establish and strengthen the sense of mission and responsibility, so that officers and men can deeply understand the special mission and responsibility of the army and soldiers and be loyal to the cause of the party and the country; It is to establish and strengthen collectivism, put the interests of the party and the people first, obey the organization, obey the overall situation and obey the needs; It is to establish and strengthen the concept of honor, regard honor as life, and always maintain the dignity and integrity of soldiers under any circumstances; It is to establish and strengthen the spirit of dedication and sacrifice, make more achievements and make more contributions in ordinary posts; It is to establish and strengthen the concept of professional ethics and strictly follow the various norms required by the military profession; Is to firmly establish and strengthen the concept of discipline, obey orders, obey orders, prohibit orders, and consciously abide by the rules and regulations of the army.
Third, closely follow the pulse of military reform and development with China characteristics, and vigorously build an innovative culture of military ideological and political construction.
Military innovation is an inexhaustible motive force to promote military development and an important guarantee to win the war. From knives, guns, sticks, naval guns to aircraft missiles, from war confrontation, skirmisher line operations to precision warfare, from Sun Tzu's The Art of War and On War to contemporary information warfare theory, a large number of facts show that the army is the group that cannot be rigid and needs innovation most. The history of human military development is a history of continuous exploration, innovation and transcendence. In this historical process, whoever can walk in the forefront of innovation will be able to grasp the commanding heights and initiative of the military and be in a favorable position in the military struggle. At present, our army is actively promoting the military transformation with China characteristics, which is a scientific choice to conform to the world military development trend, a major strategic measure to actively respond to the challenges of the new military transformation in the world, and an unprecedented systematic innovation project in the history of our army's development. It lasts for a long time and involves many factors. It is not only an integrated innovation of the whole military system, but also a profound transformation from mechanized and semi-mechanized military form to information military form, involving updating weapons and equipment, adjusting system establishment, changing combat methods, innovating military theory and cultivating new military talents.
Military innovation is not a spontaneous act, but a highly conscious creative activity under the support and guidance of innovative culture. The larger the scale of military innovation and the longer it takes, the stronger the demand for innovative culture. Historically, China's modern military revolution greatly changed the military industrial base and weapons and equipment of China's army through the Westernization Movement, and established a naval force with a gross tonnage ranking seventh in the world. However, it was this naval force that lost to Japan, which ranked second/kloc-0 in the number of naval vessels in the world. One of the deep-seated reasons for this result is that China's modern military reform and Westernization Movement stuck to the old and rigid cultural banner and learned a profound lesson.
To build an innovative culture and promote the healthy and rapid development of military reform with China characteristics, we should seriously study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, which are indispensable guiding ideology, theoretical basis and ideological resources for building an innovative culture; It is necessary to recognize the essence and value of military innovation and reveal its rich connotation and strategic position; It is necessary to clearly understand the internal elements and system composition of military innovation, and reveal the occurrence and development process of military innovation and its activity mechanism; It is necessary to understand the methods and means of military innovation and reveal the ways to realize military innovation; It is necessary to make extensive use of modern media, constantly expand propaganda means, and vigorously spread the ideas and concepts of innovative culture in military camps, so as to create a good cultural environment for military innovation, especially military reform with China characteristics, and provide strong ideological encouragement and cultural motivation.
Fourth, adapt to the development trend of complex military camp relations and joint military operations, and strive to build a harmonious culture in the ideological and political construction of the army.
At present, our army is in a major period of profound changes, and the army building is facing a series of new topics and new features, which puts forward higher and more urgent requirements for building a harmonious culture and promoting the harmonious development of the army. For example, the profound changes in the economic system, social structure, interest pattern, and ideological concepts and the in-depth development of military reform have brought vitality, unity, and progress to the army, but they have also complicated interpersonal relations in military camps, caused some new contradictions in the promotion and meritorious service of some officers and men, and caused some new problems in honesty, trustworthiness, and mutual trust between officers and men. It is urgent to guide them with harmonious culture. For another example, vigorously promoting joint military operations is the inherent requirement and important content of military reform with China characteristics, and it is a scientific choice for the transformation of combat mode under the condition of informationization. It involves the coupling of various weapons and equipment and the organic interaction of various arms and services, and it is urgent to build a harmonious culture, and take this as a guide to coordinate various factors and relationships and promote the transformation of combat methods.
The key to building a harmonious culture lies in building and perfecting the socialist core value system, leading the mind with the socialist core value system, and forming the spiritual strength of all officers and men to strive for progress and the spiritual bond of unity and harmony. To build a harmonious culture, we must establish the concept of organic combination, correctly understand and handle the relationship between man and weapons, and promote the development of man, the renewal of weapons and the comprehensive combination of the two; It is necessary to establish the concept of mutual assistance and friendship, correctly understand and handle the interpersonal relationship within the military camp, advocate and cultivate the civilized and moral fashion of knowing honor and disgrace, stressing righteousness and promoting harmony, and create and strengthen the interpersonal environment of the military camp with equality, honesty, friendship, courtesy and tolerance; It is necessary to establish the concept of system integration, correctly understand and handle the relationship between various weapons and services, effectively integrate various forces, and promote the in-depth development of joint military operations; It is necessary to establish the concept of coordinated development, correctly understand and handle the relationship between the military and the people, and promote the coordinated development of economic construction and national defense construction, local construction and army construction.
Fifth, focus on the preparation for military struggle and the cultivation of fighting spirit, and vigorously build and carry forward masculine culture in the ideological and political construction of the army.
War is a struggle between forces, and it needs masculine and powerful qualities internally. Without masculinity, the army will lose its fighting spirit and strength, and even lead to failure and extinction. Our army has a deep understanding of this. For a long time, we have attached great importance to promoting masculinity, advocating tenacious fighting style, praising fearless revolutionary heroism, carrying forward the courage of struggle with masculine culture, inspiring revolutionary enthusiasm and fighting will. Inspired and nurtured by this masculine culture, our army has produced countless invincible and invincible heroic collectives, produced countless fearless warriors who dare to show their swords in the face of strong enemies, and wrote countless magnificent chapters in the history of our army.
In the new century and new stage, our army's male culture actively absorbs the essence of the spirit of the times, constantly enriches and expands itself, obtains new development, and at the same time faces the impact and challenge of cultural diversity. Some military works are obsessed with describing lingering personal feelings and grievances, rather than showing the masculinity of contemporary soldiers; Some people are committed to pursuing powder and beauty, rather than revealing and reflecting the fiery fighting life of the officers and men.
Some officers and men reported that some sang poorly and couldn't walk. Some film and television works can't be understood when they are performed, and they can't get excited after watching them. This situation must be highly valued.
At present, we are actively preparing for military struggle. What we need is not a sentimental personal feeling, but a brave and firm fighting quality, not a feminine culture, but a masculine culture. To strengthen the construction of male culture in the ideological and political construction of the army, it is necessary to vigorously explore and inherit the rich contents and fine traditions of male culture in the history of our army, and persist in inspiring officers and men with the lofty spirit of revolutionary heroism, revolutionary optimism and courage to sacrifice and dedication formed by our army over the past decades; It is necessary to highlight the propaganda and cultivation of fighting spirit as the core content of male cultural construction; It is necessary to extensively carry out ritual activities with masculine cultural connotation, so that the fighting spirit of officers and men can be enhanced in ceremonies such as raising the national flag, singing the national anthem, military songs, giving guns to the army, leaving the army to bid farewell to the military flag, bidding farewell to the blue sky and bidding farewell to the island; It is necessary to establish and improve the military history museum, honor room, hero statue and other military camp material and cultural facilities, condense the fine traditions and fighting spirit of the troops in visible and tangible memorial venues, and organize timely visits to pay tribute to them, so that the fine traditions of the fighting spirit of the troops can be widely known and passed down from generation to generation. To build a masculine culture, we should give full play to the educational function of excellent cultural works, constantly enhance the attraction and appeal of masculine culture by feeling and experiencing the beauty of masculinity, and provide strong cultural support for military struggle preparation.
