The development of the Times calls for “Spirit”, and the interpretation of “Spirit” promotes the progress of the Times. After the outbreak of the modern Opium War, Chinese has modernized Chinese national spirit in the great exploration of saving the nation, realizing national independence and national prosperity, and the Communist Party of China creatively has developed the national spirit. The “Chinese Spirit” has become the most distinctive spiritual symbol in modern and contemporary times, reflecting the inevitable requirements of the Times for the spiritual needs of the country, and has ran through the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is the link to strength the spiritual bond of all ethnic group in China, and forge the community of the Chinese nation. Besides, it also can promotes the steady progress of the “Chinese Road”, and constantly enhance the “Cultural Confidence” in contemporary China. Under the new historical conditions, the ancient Chinese civilization is undergoing unprecedented and profound changes. In order to solve the problems in the development, such as general trend of “rising in the East and falling in the West”, globalization and the global spiritual secularization, the competition between eastern civilization and western civilization, the weakening of national identity, and the poor spiritual pursuit, the Communist Party of China has continuously deepened interpretation and theoretical exploration of the “Chinese Spirit”. The “Chinese Spirit” is having a profound influence on the values of contemporary China and the development direction of culture morality, and it is the necessary guarantees of Chinese modernization to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At the same time, the inclusive tension of “Eastern civilization” in the “Chinese Spirit” deeply influences the world pattern and the development trend of human civilization. Therefore, the theoretical depth and internal rules of the “Chinese Spirit” are deeply explored in this thesis by the methods, such as literature research, logic and history combination, inductive deduction and comparative analysis. Firstly, the concept definition and theoretical basis are sorted and clarified clearly, and then the form categories, core elements and presenting characteristics are deconstructed and refined. Secondly, the historical logic and theoretical logic of the “Chinese Spirit” are combed and analyzed deeply. Finally, the practical role and contemporary value of “Chinese Spirit” are deeply explained. Firstly, the “Chinese Spirit” is a systematic cultural system, which is also a constantly generated concept. Based on the fine traditional Chinese culture, It is a kind of historical proactive spirit in China and the result in the process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation that Chinese have safeguard national unity, and have resisted foreign enemies in the arduous exploration. Furthermore, It is the spiritual results of continuous creation and sublimation that the Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in the continuous experience. The “Chinese Spirit” is not only a profound historical foundation and profound cultural accumulation, but also has the practical direction and the connotation of the Times, which is the unity of the national spirit and the spirit of the Times with a specific connotation and extension. In addition, “Chinese Spirit” is closely linked to Chinese culture and socialist core values. Secondly, the “Chinese Spirit” contains the core elements and expression characteristics. More than 100 types of spiritual forms are rationally deconstructed and analyzed to extract the core elements contained in these spirits, such as dream, loving the people, dedication, innovation and struggle. It also presents same characteristics in the development of spiritual form, such as the unity of concrete and abstraction, the unity of inheritance and innovation, the unity of nationality and times, and the unity of people and guidance. Thirdly, the “Chinese Spirit” has been inherited and developed through the tempering of history. From the spirit of unremitting self-improvement of the Chinese nation, to the spirit of saving the nation in modern China, and the heroic and indomitable spirit in the Centennial history of the Communist Party of China, it has presented the unchanged continuity in the Chinese spirit. Especially, the “Chinese Spirit” in the Centennial history of the Communist Party of China is the integration and sublimation of the ancient spirit of striving and the modern spirit of striving. Fourthly, observing the inheritance and development form of the “Chinese Spirit”, there is a deep hidden meaning of the theoretical logic that the inheritance of ethnic culture, the transformation of national spirit to modern national spirit, and the Communist Party of China constantly develops the “Chinese Spirit” by meeting the needs of social change and the development of the Times. The Theoretical Logic is mainly the combination of tradition and modernity, and the combination of Marxism and Chinese, which includes the transformation of the Chinese national spirits to the modern national spirit, and also reflects the deep attribution of Marxism developing in China, and combines with the Chinese excellent traditional culture. Fifthly, the spirits comes from practice, and constantly promotes practical innovation and social development in the spirits of inheritance and promotion, breeding and forming new spirits full of the characteristics of the Times. The “Chinese Spirit” has emerged and played an important role in practice, such as the complex revolutionary background, the revolutionary wave of bloody struggle, the construction of striving for strength, the reform of forging ahead, and the progress of self-confidence and self-improvement. These not only has prompted that Chinese people chosen Marxism and achieved national independence, but also has consolidated the foundation the vigorous development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and gathered the great spiritual force to comprehensively promote national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization. Besides, “Chinese Spirit” has a profound impact on the development of contemporary Chinese society, such as expressing the fundamental interests of the people, reflecting the fundamental desire of national prosperity and strength, highlighting the “Chinese Dream” of national rejuvenation, reflecting the pursuit of a community with a shared future for mankind, and gathering core socialist values. The “Chinese Spirit” provides more proactive spiritual power to great practice, and greatly enhances the building of strong country, national rejuvenation, and human development.
