Integrating the Great Spirit of the War of Resistance into the Construction of the “Grand Ideological and Political Course”

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “In the grand course of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese people gave birth to the great spirit of the War of Resistance, demonstrating to the world a patriotic sentiment of ‘everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the nation,’ a national integrity of ‘facing death unflinchingly and preferring death to surrender,’ a heroic mettle of ‘fearing no brute force and fighting to the bitter end,’ and a conviction of victory of ‘being undaunted by repeated setbacks and tenaciously unyielding.’” The great spirit of the War of Resistance is a precious spiritual treasure of the Chinese people, and it must be forever inherited and vigorously promoted. Effectively integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” is not only an inevitable requirement for passing on the red gene and continuing the red bloodline, but also an important way to enhance the ideological nature, theoretical nature, affinity, and targetedness of the “grand ideological and political course.”

习近平总书记指出：“中国人民在抗日战争的壮阔进程中孕育出伟大抗战精神，向世界展示了天下兴亡、匹夫有责的爱国情怀，视死如归、宁死不屈的民族气节，不畏强暴、血战到底的英雄气概，百折不挠、坚忍不拔的必胜信念。”伟大抗战精神是中国人民弥足珍贵的精神财富，要永远传承和大力弘扬。将伟大抗战精神有效融入“大思政课”建设，既是传承红色基因、赓续红色血脉的必然要求，也是增强“大思政课”思想性、理论性、亲和力、针对性的重要途径。

Clarifying Goal Orientation

明确目标导向

Goals are the guide for action. The fundamental goal of integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” lies in cultivating new persons for the era, while the specific goal orientation must be implemented in aspects such as ideals and convictions, feelings of family and country, striving spirit, and mission and responsibility.

目标是行动的先导，将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设的根本目标在于培育时代新人，而具体的目标导向要落实在理想信念、家国情怀、奋斗精神、使命担当等方面。

Firmly establishing ideals and convictions. The ideals and convictions of youth concern the future of the country. Cultivating new persons for the era requires building the foundation of the spirit with firm ideals and convictions. The Chinese Communist Party’s firm conviction in fighting the War of Resistance to the end for the survival of the nation and its lofty ideal of unremitting struggle for people’s democracy made it the mainstay of the entire nation’s War of Resistance. Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the “grand ideological and political course” means, based on historical facts, effectively guiding young students to correctly understand the position and role of the Chinese Communist Party in the War of Resistance, to recognize the historical inevitability of China’s New Democratic Revolution and the socialist path, thereby strengthening the faith, convictions, and confidence of young students.

树牢理想信念。青年的理想信念关乎国家未来，培育时代新人要以坚定的理想信念筑牢精神之基。中国共产党为民族存亡而抗日到底的坚定信念和为争取人民民主不懈斗争的崇高理想，使其成为全民族抗战的中流砥柱。将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”，就是以历史事实为依据，有效引导青年学生正确认识中国共产党在抗战中的地位作用，认清中国新民主主义革命及社会主义道路的历史必然性，从而坚定青年学生的信仰、信念、信心。

Cultivating deep feelings of family and country. The patriotic sentiment of “everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the nation” in the great spirit of the War of Resistance condenses a social consciousness and spirit of dedication that sets aside the small family for the larger community. Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” means enhancing young students’ emotional identification with the value concept of “family and country as one,” consciously unifying love for the country, love for the Party, and love for socialism, inspiring youth to become the vanguard force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and writing a new chapter of “Rest assured, the Party; a strong nation depends on us” on the new journey.

厚植家国情怀。伟大抗战精神中“天下兴亡、匹夫有责”的爱国情怀，凝结着舍小家为大家的社会意识和奉献精神，将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设，就是要增进青年学生对“家国一体”价值观念的情感认同，自觉将爱国、爱党、爱社会主义统一起来，激励青年成为实现中华民族伟大复兴的先锋力量，在新征程上谱写“请党放心、强国有我”的新篇章。

Stimulating the striving spirit. The “national integrity of facing death unflinchingly and preferring death to surrender, and the heroic mettle of fearing no brute force and fighting to the bitter end” of the heroes of the War of Resistance are spiritual treasures that forever inspire the Chinese people to overcome difficulties and obstacles and forge ahead courageously. Currently, China is in a critical period for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, facing both unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented difficulties and challenges. It is even more necessary to strengthen the “conviction of victory of being undaunted by repeated setbacks and tenaciously unyielding.” Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the “grand ideological and political course” means guiding young students to enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence as Chinese people, to strengthen their conviction of victory, to dare to struggle and be adept at struggle, and to create a bright future through striving.

激发奋斗精神。抗战英雄们“视死如归、宁死不屈的民族气节，不畏强暴、血战到底的英雄气概”是永远激励中国人民克服艰难险阻、勇毅前行的精神财富。当前，我国正处于实现中华民族伟大复兴的关键时期，既面临着前所未有的机遇，也承受着前所未有的困难和挑战，更需要坚定“百折不挠、坚忍不拔的必胜信念”。将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”，就是要引导青年学生增强做中国人的志气、骨气、底气，坚定必胜的信念，敢于斗争，善于斗争，在奋斗中开创美好未来。

Strengthening mission and responsibility. The sense of responsibility of “sacrificing one’s life for righteousness and dedicating oneself to the country” contained in the great spirit of the War of Resistance can prompt contemporary young students to closely integrate personal development with the destiny of the nation and actively assume the historical mission entrusted by the New Era. The sense of responsibility of “facing difficulties head-on and stepping forward bravely” contained in the great spirit of the War of Resistance can inspire contemporary young students to take heroic martyrs as their role models, transform their patriotic enthusiasm into concrete actions, bravely shoulder heavy burdens in scientific research, study, and social practice, and contribute their strength to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

强化使命担当。伟大抗战精神中蕴含的“舍生取义、以身许国”的责任意识，能够促使当代青年学生将个人发展与国家命运紧密结合，主动承担起新时代赋予的历史使命。伟大抗战精神蕴含“迎难而上、挺身而出”的担当意识，能够激励当代青年学生以英雄先烈为榜样，将报国热情转化为实际行动，在科研学习、社会实践中勇挑重担，为实现中华民族伟大复兴贡献力量。

Smoothing the Channels of Integration

畅通融入渠道

Channels are the carriers of spiritual dissemination. Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” requires integrating and rationalizing multiple channels, allowing young students to deeply perceive, learn, identify with, and practice it.

渠道是精神传播的载体。将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设，需要整合与理顺多种渠道，让广大青年学生深度感知、学习、认同、践行。

The construction of course materials is an important lever for integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the “grand ideological and political course.” In terms of curriculum design, courses in the current ideological and political curriculum plan, such as *Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era*, *Outline of Modern Chinese History*, and *Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Rule of Law*, already contain content on the great spirit of the War of Resistance. The next step is to continue teaching the themes related to the great spirit of the War of Resistance in the compulsory ideological and political courses well, and it can also be reflected more in elective ideological and political courses, especially by offering specialized courses in conjunction with red culture and education on the “Four Histories.” [1]1 The “Four Histories” (四史) refers to the history of the Chinese Communist Party, the history of the People’s Republic of China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of the development of socialism. In terms of textbook compilation, further select important documents, reliable historical materials, typical cases, and heroic deeds from the history of the War of Resistance, integrating them into text textbooks, multimedia textbooks, and composite textbooks, to comprehensively, deeply, and vividly reflect the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

课程教材建设是伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”的重要抓手。在课程设置上，现行思政课程方案中《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》《中国近现代史纲要》《思想道德与法治》等课程已有伟大抗战精神内容，下一步要继续讲好思政必修课程中伟大抗战精神相关主题，还可以在思政选修课程中更多体现，特别是可以结合红色文化、“四史”教育等开设专门课程。在教材编撰上，进一步精选抗战历史中的重要文献、可靠史料、典型案例、英雄事迹，使之融入文字教材、多媒体教材、复合型教材，全面深入且生动地反映伟大抗战精神。

Classroom teaching is the main channel for integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course.” On the one hand, deepen the teaching of thematic content on the history of the War of Resistance in ideological and political courses, especially teaching the rich connotation and contemporary value of the great spirit of the War of Resistance well. On the other hand, integrate content related to the great spirit of the War of Resistance into professional courses. For example, in professional courses such as transportation, chemical engineering, and art, stories from the War of Resistance period, such as Mao Yisheng building bridges, Fan Xudong producing alkali, and Mei Lanfang refusing to perform, can be narrated, [2]2 Mao Yisheng (1896–1989) was a renowned Chinese bridge engineer; Fan Xudong (1883–1945) was a pioneering Chinese chemist and industrialist; Mei Lanfang (1894–1961) was a famous Peking opera artist who refused to perform for the Japanese occupation authorities. promoting the great spirit of the War of Resistance while inheriting the spirit of scientists and the character of artists. Particularly in classroom teaching, every effort must be made to enhance the appeal and infectiousness of the great spirit of the War of Resistance. Digital technologies such as VR and AR can be used to conduct immersive teaching, and interactive participatory teaching methods such as thematic discussions, debate competitions, and situational drama performances can also be adopted to guide students to actively learn and inherit the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

课堂教学是伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设的主渠道。一方面，深化思政课程中关于抗战历史专题内容讲授，特别是讲好伟大抗战精神丰富内涵和当代价值。另一方面，在专业课程中融入伟大抗战精神相关内容，如在交通、化工、艺术等专业课程中，可以讲述抗战期间茅以升造桥、范旭东制碱、梅兰芳罢演等故事，在传承科学家精神和艺术家品格同时弘扬伟大抗战精神。特别是在课堂教学中要想方设法增强伟大抗战精神的吸引力和感染力。既可利用VR、AR等数字技术开展沉浸式教学，也可采取专题讨论、辩论赛、情景剧表演等形式开展互动参与式教学，引导学生主动学习与传承伟大抗战精神。

The integration of the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” cannot be separated from the main front of daily ideological and political education. On the one hand, continue to integrate the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of campus culture, such as holding themed exhibitions, knowledge competitions, etc. Where conditions permit, themed squares, corridors, sculptures, etc., can also be built on campus, making the campus environment a “living textbook” for disseminating the great spirit of the War of Resistance. On the other hand, further leverage the role of themed Party Day and League Day activities, [3]3 Party Day (主题党日) and League Day (主题团日) are regular, themed organizational activities for members of the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Youth League, respectively. especially by organizing activities such as flag-raising ceremonies, moments of silence in memory of martyrs, themed speeches, and essay competitions around important time nodes such as the Victory Day of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, allowing the great spirit of the War of Resistance to nourish people’s hearts.

伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设离不开日常思想政治教育这一主阵地。一方面，继续将伟大抗战精神融入校园文化建设，如举办主题展览、知识竞赛等，有条件的还可以在校园内建设主题广场、长廊、雕塑等，让校园环境成为传播伟大抗战精神的“活教材”。另一方面，进一步发挥好主题党团日活动作用，特别是结合抗日战争胜利纪念日等重要时间节点，组织开展升国旗、向先烈默哀仪式、主题演讲和征文等活动，让伟大抗战精神润化人心。

Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” requires not only making good use of the small classroom of ideological and political education but also fully utilizing the big classroom of society, especially the channel of social practice. Further leverage the educational role of various types of venues, create “grand ideological and political courses” within venues related to the War of Resistance, transforming the great spirit of the War of Resistance from a static presentation in textbook texts into a dynamic experience that students can participate in, perceive, and practice. Guide students to use extracurricular time, especially holidays, to carry out historical investigations, social surveys and research, theoretical propaganda, and other activities on the theme of the War of Resistance, truly internalizing the great spirit of the War of Resistance into spiritual character and externalizing it into conscious action.

伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设，既要用好思政小课堂，更要充分利用好社会大课堂，特别是用好社会实践渠道。要进一步发挥各类场馆育人作用，打造抗战场馆里的“大思政课”，让伟大抗战精神从教材文本的静态呈现转变为学生可参与、可感知、可践行的动态体验。要引导学生利用课外时间、特别是假期开展抗战主题的历史寻访、社会调查研究、理论宣讲等活动，真正将伟大抗战精神内化为精神品格、外化为行动自觉。

Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course” requires fully utilizing online platforms to create an educational pattern linking online and offline. Further rely on school official websites and ideological and political course teaching platforms to establish “learning columns on the great spirit of the War of Resistance,” etc., integrating historical materials on the War of Resistance, teaching videos, academic papers, heroic deeds, and other resources, providing students with precise learning content, and organizing and promoting in-depth discussion and reflection. At the same time, with greater intensity, encourage and support young students to create short videos, comics, online games, and other content on the theme of the great spirit of the War of Resistance, using social media platforms such as Weibo, WeChat, and Douyin to actively disseminate the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

将伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设，需充分利用网络平台，打造线上线下联动的育人格局。可进一步依托学校官网、思政课教学平台，开设“伟大抗战精神学习专栏”等，整合抗战历史资料、教学视频、学术论文、英雄事迹等资源，为学生提供精准的学习内容，组织推动深入研讨和思考。同时，更大力度鼓励和支持青年学生创作伟大抗战精神主题的短视频、漫画、网络游戏等，利用微博、微信、抖音等社交媒体平台主动传播伟大抗战精神。

Building a Long-Term Mechanism

构建长效机制

A normalized working mechanism must be established to ensure the institutionalization, standardization, and long-term effectiveness of integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “grand ideological and political course.”

要建立常态化工作机制，确保伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设的制度化、规范化、长效化。

Integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the “grand ideological and political course” is a systematic project that requires coordination and cooperation among various departments within the school, and between the school and all sectors of society. Within the school, deepen the construction of a coordination mechanism of “unified leadership by the Party committee, coordination led by the propaganda department, concrete implementation by ideological and political course teachers, and active cooperation by professional course teachers.” Deepen and expand the long-term cooperative relationship between the school and red bases such as War of Resistance memorial halls, martyrs’ cemeteries, and former sites of the War of Resistance, strengthen the construction of practical teaching bases for ideological and political courses, organize students to carry out activities such as visits, studies, and volunteer services with greater intensity, and fully integrate the forces of the school, family, and society to create a good atmosphere for the whole society to jointly inherit the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”是一项系统工程，需要学校内部各部门之间，学校与社会各界之间的协同配合。在学校内部，要深化构建“党委统一领导、宣传部牵头协调、思政课教师具体实施、专业课教师积极配合”的协同机制。深化和拓展学校与抗战纪念馆、烈士陵园、抗战旧址等红色基地的长期合作关系，强化思政课实践教学基地建设，更大力度地组织学生开展参观学习、志愿服务等活动，充分整合学校、家庭、社会的力量来营造全社会共同传承伟大抗战精神的良好氛围。

A content supply mechanism integrating excavation, development, and use must be established. First, further strengthen the excavation and research of historical materials on the great spirit of the War of Resistance. By collecting and organizing historical materials, oral histories, and physical archives from the War of Resistance on a broader scale, deeply explore the historical origins, core connotations, and contemporary value of the great spirit of the War of Resistance, enriching the content interpretation of the great spirit of the War of Resistance. Second, develop diversified teaching resources. Better develop teaching case libraries, courseware, micro-lectures, etc., to provide frontline teachers with richer teaching reference materials. Third, strengthen the integration of research and application. While actively supplementing and improving information based on the latest research results and historical discoveries, also promptly supplement and adjust content according to students’ needs or other feedback, enhancing the targeted nature and appeal of education on the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

要建立集挖掘、研发、使用为一体的内容供给机制。一是进一步加强对伟大抗战精神史料的挖掘和研究。通过更大范围收集整理抗战历史资料、口述史、实物档案等，深入挖掘伟大抗战精神的历史渊源、核心内涵、时代价值，丰富对伟大抗战精神的内容阐释。二是研发多样化的教学资源。更好地开发教学案例库、课件、微课等，为一线教师提供更丰富的教学参考资料。三是加强研用结合。既要结合最新的研究成果、历史发现主动补充完善信息，也要根据学生的需求或其他反馈意见及时补充调整内容，提高伟大抗战精神教育的针对性和吸引力。

Teachers and students, as the subjects of the construction of the “Grand Ideological and Political Course,” their initiative is crucial to the integration work. In terms of motivating teachers, greater support should be given to teaching seminars, demonstration observation classes, and other activities on the theme of the great spirit of the War of Resistance, further showcasing and exchanging outstanding teaching and research achievements and commending excellent teachers. In terms of motivating students, students should be encouraged to take the initiative to conduct in-depth study and exploration of the great spirit of the War of Resistance, support the conduct of social practices on the theme of the War of Resistance, and transform learning outcomes into practical actions. Schools and education authorities should promptly commend students or teams that have performed outstandingly in inheriting the great spirit of the War of Resistance, leveraging the exemplary and leading role of role models.

教师与学生作为“大思政课”建设的主体，二者的主动性对融入工作至关重要。在激励教师方面，应更大力度地支持伟大抗战精神主题的教学研讨会、示范观摩课等活动，进一步展示交流优秀教研成果、表彰优秀教师。在激励学生方面，应鼓励学生主动对伟大抗战精神进行深入的学习探究，支持开展抗战主题社会实践，将学习成果转化为实践行动。学校及教育主管部门要及时表彰在传承伟大抗战精神中表现突出的学生或团队，发挥榜样的示范引领作用。

Guarantees must be comprehensively provided from three aspects: organization, funding, and personnel, to ensure the integration of the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the construction of the “Grand Ideological and Political Course.” In terms of organizational guarantees, under the unified leadership of the school Party committee and with the participation of multiple departments, a dedicated work team can be established to promote the integration work more efficiently and orderly. In terms of funding, more fully guarantee necessary expenditures for the development of teaching resources on the great spirit of the War of Resistance, teacher training, student practice activities, network platform construction, etc. In terms of personnel, while strengthening the support of the internal teaching staff of the school, also, with the support of local propaganda and education authorities, coordinate social education teachers on a broader scale, forming a joint force to provide sufficient talent and intellectual support for integrating the great spirit of the War of Resistance into the “Grand Ideological and Political Course.”

要从组织、经费、人员三方面入手，全面保障伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”建设。在组织保障方面，在学校党委统一领导、多部门参与的基础上，可成立专门的工作团队，更高效有序推进融入工作。在经费方面，更充分地保障有关伟大抗战精神教学资源研发、教师培训、学生实践活动、网络平台建设等必要经费开支。在人员方面，在强化学校内部师资队伍支撑的同时，还要在各地宣传、教育主管部门支持下，更大范围地统筹社会教育师资，形成合力，为伟大抗战精神融入“大思政课”提供充分的人才智力支撑。
