What is the urban spirit of Nanjing?

At the beginning of 2003, the Propaganda Department of Nanjing Municipal Committee and the Municipal Civilization Office tracked the discussion and orientation of Nanjing citizens' spirit in the new era, and organized a large-scale discussion on "Shaping Nanjing City Spirit" throughout the city. Over the past year, citizens, experts and other people from all walks of life have actively participated and expressed their opinions. The main connotation of Nanjing urban spirit has gradually formed a * * * knowledge. Several suggestions with concentrated opinions are now published, and the public is invited to choose from them. At the same time, they are also welcome to participate in the discussion and put forward suggestions for revision.

Option 1: Promote civilization with morality and bring things with things.

"Virtue carries things" comes from the ancient Book of Changes: "The terrain is vast, and a gentleman carries things with virtue"; "Civilized Progress" was an inscription by Dr. Sun Yat-sen for China Women's Daily in 19 12.

"Respecting morality and carrying forward the past with civilization" embodies the fundamental characteristics of Nanjing as a "famous cultural city". Culture is the foundation, taking morality as the foundation means taking culture as the foundation, and only virtue can carry things. If a person is not virtuous, he will lose his family at home and his relatives and friends outside; If a country is immoral, it will lose people's hearts at home and friends abroad; A city is naturally like this. And if "virtue" is "body", then "carrying things" means developing economy and so on. Therefore, only Houde can "carry things". Although Zhou is an ancient country, its life is new. As a famous historical and cultural city in the world, Nanjing must keep pace with the times and create a more splendid culture, which is "advancing with civilization". It means that Nanjing should keep pace with the world civilization, and the Chinese nation's reform and opening up will create splendid modern civilization, Nanjing's long-standing civilization tradition, material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization, and realize the beautiful ideals of "helping each other in the same boat", "working together", "being in the same spring with the country" and "being in the same harmony" (Sun Yat-sen's words).

Dr. Sun Yat-sen was an honor in the history of Nanjing in 2004. Without Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Nanjing's glorious history and splendid culture would lose its most precious wealth. Therefore, taking Dr. Sun Yat-sen's earnest entrustment of "civilized progress" as the unforgettable urban spirit of Nanjing can not only profoundly express the urban connotation of Nanjing, but also greatly enhance the urban image of Nanjing.

"Morality and civilization advance together" is the life melody of Nanjing, a world famous cultural city, and also the essence and hope of Nanjing, a world famous historical and cultural city.

Option 2: virtuous, strong and civilized.

"vigorous civilization" comes from Zhouyi: "Xun" said "big", soft and supreme, and responded from top to bottom, saying "big" is virtuous and vigorous civilization, and should be based on heaven. "

As a famous historical and cultural city in the world, Nanjing must keep pace with the times and create a more splendid culture, which is "vigorous civilization". "Vigorous civilization" is a beautiful expectation for a more brilliant new culture in Nanjing in the future.

Option 3: virtuous and strong.

"Strengthening the body to be a hero" expresses the "uninhibited" in Si Kongtu's Twenty-four Poems in the Tang Dynasty: "The external bones are of great use and the entities are full. Anti-virtual into muddy, accumulate health for the male. Have everything, travel through space. Wild oil clouds, less Changfeng. Besides the image, you got the ring. If it is not strong, it will come endlessly. "

"Carrying things with morality" needs internal spiritual motivation, that is, "taking health as a hero". As a world famous historical and cultural city, Nanjing can only be a hero if it is "healthy". This means: the more frustrated, the braver, the more self-reliant, the more eager to be strong, the more innovative, and finally achieve great achievements in the century.

"Virtue, carrying things, building health and being a hero" is the life melody and the essence of Nanjing culture.

Option 4: Where there is a will, there is a way.

"Where there is a will, there is a way" is Dr. Sun Yat-sen's inscription in 1920. A bright future requires great ambition and unswerving creation. "Where there is a will, there is a way" is a portrayal of this great ambition and unswerving creation.

"Where there is a will, there is a way" and "advancing with civilization" are all famous sayings of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and they are also the epitome of his glorious life of "forty years of hard work". Dr. Sun Yat-sen's life is admirable, from "saving the country and the people, for the public and for the private, only struggle, unity of mind and no retreat" (the oath of the Northern Expedition), to "saving the people from fire and water, helping to build a collapse" (the declaration of the Zhong Xing Conference), and then to "comrades still have to work hard before the revolution is successful" (Dr. Sun Yat-sen's inscription). "I am determined to go forward, and the more frustrated I am, the more persistent I am." Dr. Sun Yat-sen's spirit of unremitting struggle is Nanjing's most precious wealth. Sun Yat-sen's spirit is the symbol and representative of Nanjing's urban spirit. "Advancing with civilization" is Dr. Sun Yat-sen's ideals of "universal love", "great harmony", "the world trend is vast, and if it goes with it, it will prosper, and if it goes against it, it will perish", and "the country serves the people, the government serves the people and benefits the people".
