Mental Motivations

（1.Xiuqin Xu；2.Deqi Zen）

[Abstract]Socialist Core Values are a highly condensed presentation of basic components in the socialist core value system， providing the fundamental mental power source to realize China Dream. In the process of carrying forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics， the emphasis is placed on getting in-depth understandings concerning connotations and significances of Socialist Core Values， searching for the best integrating points between Socialist Core Values and construction of citizens spirits， making Socialist Core Values internalized into citizens values in the socialist society and guiding citizens spirits and motivations into devotion and dedication actions. But to make aforesaid things come true， the key is to innovatively exploring paths in using Socialist Core Values to guide citizens mental motivations.

[Key words]Socialist Core Values； spirits and motivations； integrating points； paths.

Trends like globalization in economics， multi-polarization in politics and diversity in cultures have brought shocks to peoples world outlooks and values which play a dominating role in their spiritual world，making them not know which way to go. Facing such a complicated and changeable international environment， Communist Party of China （CPC） unequivocally put forward Socialist Core Values in the Report to its Eighteenth National Congress， which is of great practical significance in strengthening peoples belief in Marxism， firming their common ideals towards socialism with Chinese characteristics and stimulating them to realize China Dream. Meanwhile， it also points out directions for those engaged in ideological and political work to explore rules governing formation and cultivation of citizens spirits and motivations.

I.Significance of Socialist Core Values in Guiding Citizens Spirits and Motivations

With more than one hundred years developments since its birth， it is of more necessity for the advanced social form Scientific Socialism to establish its own core value system. In October 2006， CPC came up with the goal of “building a core socialist value system” for the first time in its Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixteenth National Congress. On November 8， 2012， Hu Jintao clearly put forward “We should promote prosperity， democracy， civility， and harmony， uphold freedom， equality， justice and the rule of law and advocate patriotism， dedication， integrity， and friendship， so as to cultivate and observe core socialist values” in the Report to CPCs Eighteenth National Congress. “Socialist Core Values are the inner nucleus of the socialist core value system， embodying its fundamental nature and essential features， as well as its rich connotations and practice requirements， thus providing a highly condensed and expressed presentation of the socialist core value system.” [2] These indicate that CPC has reached a brand new level in understanding of issues concerning Socialist Core Values.

Birth of Socialist Core Values lays a solid ideological foundation for citizens to establish belief in Marxism and the common ideal to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. But it should be noted that Socialist Core Values are an important component of the socialist core value system with a lineal descent. From formation to establishment， Socialist Core Values have undergone a process marked by continuous explorations and daring innovations， because only the theories which are widely accepted by masses and internalized into their own values are of practical guiding significance. By taking the Marxist world outlook as the spiritual guideline， adopting socialist Chinas national situations and progress in its socialist modernization as the realistic basis， using experience in Chinas revolution and construction together with its outstanding traditional culture as the historical context， comprehensively considering complicated yet changeable international and domestic situations， and mustering collective wisdom from the masses， CPCs efforts has paid off with the great achievement of Socialist Core Values. These socialist core values fully reflect principles of “unities between history and reality， inheritance and innovation， classic works and publics acceptability” and are closely connected with the strategic goal to realize the great revival of Chinese nation and China Dream. Also， by centering round major propositions regarding adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics， these socialist core values play a conducive and guiding role in citizens understanding of the socialist construction causes past， current situations and the future， as well as connotations of values upheld by the modern socialist country， value appeals in the social level of the socialist system and value orientation taken by the socialist citizens. Finally， these socialist core values can guide people for internalized yet penetrating judgments and insights， inspire people to connect theories with practices and put theories into practices.

With regards to how citizens should enhance overall qualities and realize all-round developments， Socialist Core Values bring up a clear goal to inspire the strong mental motivations within them to proactively build a healthy spiritual home. Motivations originate from peoples needs and these needs satisfaction degrees， while peoples mental motivations come from their various spiritual needs-an inevitable request for peoples spiritual activities， as illustrated by the statement “Mental motivation is the driving spiritual force imposed by spiritual factors to all human activities and social developments. The essence of mental motivation is a concentrated expression of spirits dynamic role which plays a guiding and driving part in peoples transformation of the objective world and the objective world. [3] Socialist Core Values stick to the principle of “putting people first”， with a focus placed on the masses interest appeals， value pursuit and dominant position； besides， Socialist Core Values put forward values and goals from the national and social levels， and elaborate value pursuit from individuals perspective， thus providing the individuals acts-oriented choice principle and value standard for handling the relationships between the country， the society and the individual in a right way and meeting individuals spiritual needs. These comply with modern peoples special mind put to pursuit of individual progress and all-round development.

II.Paths in Using Socialist Core Values to Guide Citizens Mental Motivations

We should value consistency of influences imposed on the masses by the society， the government， schools， families and mass media like Internet， and set up a comprehensive and systematic socialist core values cultivation mechanism to bring citizens value construction into a positive cycle， to internalize socialist core values into the masses view of life values and to translate socialist core values into mental motives to guide their practice activities. The society， the government， schools， families and mass media are important parts that affect citizens value systems. If a consistency rendered by between the governments functional departments， direct effects from schools values education and indirect effects from the society， families and mass media appears and helps form a resultant force， a positive cycle will occur in construction of citizens value system construction； otherwise， construction of citizens value system construction will be harmed， leading to vicious cycles.Please note that the consistency mentioned here refers to the consistency between goals and end results， not whole equivalence in contents. Then how to reduce the gap between influences imposed by the society， families and media， and socialist core values education conducted by the government and schools？

Firstly， optimize the social environment and innovatively create spiritual products. We should promote social morals， strengthen professional ethics， build family virtues， reform government management concepts， beef up law and system construction and strive for integrity and justice to for a good social atmosphere. Based on the objective needs of socialist spiritual civilization construction with Chinese characteristics， we should fully use mass media like films， TV and Internet together with various social sources， establish concrete values education approaches which comply with the national conditions， the tide of historical development and citizens needs， try hard to solve chaos and confusions concerning view of values between educators and those being educated. We also should unceasingly optimize the social environment including political， economic and cultural sides， and create a lot of positive and optimistic social， spiritual culture products.

In sum， as practicers of socialist core values citizens are the internal factors for construction of initiative spiritual motives， with their behavior choices deriving from value judgment ability and the self-conscious perception towards their inner values. The social environment， schooling and family education are the external factors for construction of initiative spiritual motives. Only by carrying out in-depth socialist-core-values themed educational practice activities with cooperation and coordination rendered by multiple units in various sides and using socialist core values to consolidate the ideological foundation shared by people， can construction of citizens spiritual motives be pushed into a positive cycle.
