Accurately interpreting the substance of the great founding spirit of the Party based on the fundamental principle of dialectical materialism is the logical prerequisite and scientific basis of promoting the spirit. As a spiritual phenomenon, the great founding spirit of the Party is a reflection of both the practice of the Party’s establishment and the personal revolutions of pioneers of Communism in China. It conveys the essence of the Party’s guiding ideology, fundamental principles, ultimate goal as well as conduct framework, and reflects the noble qualities of the Party’s pioneers. As a spiritual ideology, the great founding spirit of the Party is condensed from ideologies throughout the timeframe of the Party’s establishment, and sublimated from the Party’s long line of inspiring principles. Thoroughly comprehending the great founding spirit of the Party and promoting it in our new journey are accomplished by emphasizing the advanced nature and purity of the Party to preserve its essence, color and character, by cultivating the vast Party members to unyielding communism warriors with the Party’s pioneers as role models, and by comprehending the spirit’s contemporary value through its relation to the Party’s long line of inspiring principles with the vision of building a great modern socialist country in every dimension.
