Integrating advanced military culture into the training of officers and soldiers in the army
2025-09-05
Advanced military culture is the spiritual bloodline of the people's army and the most profound and lasting force for building a first-class army. President Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "We must combine the traditions and mission characteristics of each military unit, strengthen military cultural construction, create a strong military culture, and cultivate the fearless heroic spirit and brave and tenacious fighting style of the troops." The value of culture lies in educating people through culture. To strive to build the military for a century and forge ahead to become a first-class military, we need to draw on the essence of China's excellent traditional military culture, and use advanced military culture that is more in line with the characteristics of the times and meets the needs of officers and men to focus on the military and cultivate officers and men, so as to provide inexhaustible impetus for shaping the national spirit and inspiring a strong military, and gather the powerful force for building a strong military. Cultivate the soul of loyalty. The greatest virtue in the world is loyalty. Since ancient times, loyalty has been the most important quality for soldiers. The Art of War by Sun Bin proposes the standards of "loyalty, trustworthiness, and courage" in military ethics, and ranks "loyalty" as the top of military ethics. In the allusion of "mother-in-law stabbing characters", the four characters "loyalty and devotion to the country" are engraved on Yue Fei's back and also engraved into the souls of generations of soldiers. The connotation of loyalty continues to enrich and develop with the progress of the times. For the People's Army, loyalty to the Party is always the foremost political requirement, and it is the essence and soul of revolutionary soldiers. To infuse advanced military culture into the troops and train officers and soldiers, it is necessary to strengthen their political consciousness, ideological consciousness, and action consciousness of resolutely obeying the Party's command, and ensure that the gun barrel is firmly held in the hands of those who are absolutely loyal to the Party. We should guide the vast number of officers and soldiers to inherit the red culture centered on loyalty to the Party, and promote the glorious traditions and excellent style of our Party and military through in-depth exploration of the stories of Party and military history. We should truly implant the spirit of "always listening to the Party and always following the Party" into our blood and soul. We must continue to cultivate the core values of contemporary revolutionary soldiers, internalize them into the spiritual beliefs and value pursuits of officers and soldiers in a subtle and gradual manner, and remain loyal to the Party, the people, and Marxism. We must unwaveringly strive and dedicate ourselves to the cause of building a strong military. Promote the spirit of martial arts. War is not only a competition of weapons and equipment, but also a contest of the spirit and will of soldiers. An army lacking the spirit of martial arts is an army without combat effectiveness. The Chinese martial arts culture has a long and profound history, reflecting the heroic spirit of soldiers who regard death as their own, carrying the continuous martial spirit of generations of Chinese soldiers, and becoming a unique historical heritage and spiritual symbol of advanced military culture. Confucius listed "archery and archery" as important elements of the "six arts" during his education, and the "Mozi" states, "Although there are formations in battle, courage is the foundation. The spirit of martial arts has the value of crossing time and space, keeping pace with the times, and eternal charm. The advanced military culture should be used to concentrate on the army and cultivate the officers and soldiers. It is necessary to be good at extracting the essence from the Chinese martial arts culture and absorbing nutrition, so as to stimulate the officers and soldiers' heroic spirit, the courage to fight and win, the indomitable spirit and the unyielding spirit, and to polish the spiritual edge that makes the enemy cold. Cultivate noble character. The noble moral character is the foundation for revolutionary soldiers to establish themselves and conduct themselves in society, and is the guarantee for maintaining their true colors and building a good image. Looking back at the thousands of years of civilization of the Chinese nation, from Wen Tianxiang, who said, 'Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving a heart to shine in history,' to Peng Xuefeng, who said, 'Soldiers should take pride in sacrificing their lives on the battlefield and burying their bodies in horse leather when facing great enemies,' to Lin Junde, who said, 'They are all embodiments of noble spiritual character.'. Advanced military culture plays an important educational and inspiring role in guiding officers and soldiers to correct their cognition, cultivate their hearts and morals, and cultivate themselves. To infuse advanced military culture into the troops and cultivate officers and soldiers, it is necessary to fully immerse their hearts and fill their spiritual world, so that they can strengthen their revolutionary will, elevate their ideological realm, and purify their moral sentiments in cultural nourishment. We should strive to create a good atmosphere of being virtuous and eager to learn from others, guide officers and soldiers to feel the moral style from heroic figures and role models of the times, improve their moral cultivation through introspection, and establish a good image of revolutionary soldiers in the new era by recognizing great virtues, upholding public morality, and strictly adhering to personal ethics. Develop a strong physique. War requires physically strong, brave and tenacious loyal soldiers. The book "Wu Zi" proposes that "in an army, there must be soldiers who are brave enough to carry tripods with light strength, soldiers with light feet, and generals with banners and banners. There must be those who are capable. Comrade Mao Zedong wrote in his study notes "Lecture Hall Record" during his student days that "soldiers are the defenders of the country, and those who are not strong and powerful are beyond their capabilities". A strong physique is a manifestation of a soldier's majestic image and heroic spirit, and a carrier of their resolute character and fighting spirit. To infuse advanced military culture into the troops and train officers and soldiers, it is necessary to vigorously promote the culture of advocating the beauty of masculinity and strength, so that the vast number of officers and soldiers can consciously train their basic physical fitness and combat physical fitness, maintain the best physical condition, and ensure that they can carry out combat tasks at any time. Forge the ability to win battles. Soldiers are born to win battles, and being able to fight and win battles is the foundation of their existence, as well as their mission and value. Throughout the rise and fall of dynasties, the ability of the military to fight and the ability of soldiers to win battles have always been key factors. To infuse advanced military culture into the troops and train officers and soldiers, it is necessary to take serving the preparation for war and improving the combat effectiveness of the troops as the fundamental task, focusing on winning, serving to win, and assisting in winning, continuously improving the contribution rate of culture to combat effectiveness. We should educate and guide officers and soldiers to firmly establish the concept of combat teams in serving, leading, and training soldiers to fight, maintain a good state of being ready to fight at all times, and hone their combat skills from the perspective of difficulty and practical requirements, so as to be able to come at the first command, fight when they come, and win the battle.
