The great Long March spirit cultivated in the great Long March has vividly reflected political and spiritual qualities of members of the Communist Party of China(CPC)and has embodied the Chinese national spirit during the Long March period.The Long March spirit is the result of sinicization of Marxism and an enormous spiritual strength encouraged Chinese people to constantly overcome all difficulties and march to the victory.China is striving to carry out the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics,deepen the socialist core values,achieve the "Two Centenary Goals" as well as the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.The Long March spirit provides a strong spiritual power for these great causes.With the continuous development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics,we need further research on the Long March spirit and its contemporary value.On the basis of carefully studying a lot of documents and historical records,this paper has carried on the research to the Long March spirit,and is mainly divided into four parts.The first part of this paper includes research basis,research significance,research thoughts,research methods,key points and difficult parts,and innovation points of this topic.Furthermore,relevant core concepts of the topic are also sorted out and elaborated.The first part mainly includes the first chapter exordium.The research basis of the paper is based on three points.First,the reality that the Long March spirit is required as strong support and strength for carrying out the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieving "Two Centenary Goals" as well as the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation provides a realistic basis of the paper.Second,necessity of a comprehensive,systematic analysis and a theoretical perspective of the Long March spirit in the role of a prerequisite to guide the causes,and further research and understanding of the Long March spirit due to the change of the time provide a theoretical basis of the paper.Thirdly,spot investigations and published papers on the Long March of this author provide practice content and theoretical results of the paper.The main theoretical significance of the paper is to help to enhance the theory of the Long March spirit,to provide theoretical basis for the practice of the Long March spirit,and to provide corresponding historical basis and experience for the current theoretical research of sinicization of Marxism.The main realistic significance is that the Long March spirit provides a strong spiritual power for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The paper is focused on interpreting the ontology of the Long March spirit,dissertating its contemporary value of it,and trying to theoretically reach breadth,depth and height in a certain level.The difficulties lie in distinguishing the characteristics of the Long March spirit from other revolutionary spirits as well as research on the contemporary value of the Long March spirit.The innovation includes explanations of basic characteristics of the Long March spirit,its main function,its contemporary value and analysis of survey report about its contemporary value.The main research thoughts of the paper is to analyze scientific connotation,basic characteristics,internal structure and main functions of the Long March spirit,and to finally discuss its contemporary value,by taking the study of formation conditions,formation processes,practical elements and periodical reflection of the Long March spirit as the cut-in point.In the paper,an analysis method of unifying history and logic,a research method of combining theory and practice,spot investigation and a quantitative analysis method is applied.At the same time,based on the theory of Marxist national spirit and existing research results,the paper also defines the core concepts of the topic,including concept of the Long March,concept of spirit,concept of national spirit and concept of the Long March spirit.As the foundation of the paper,the first part has summarized main academic achievements in this field,emphasized the difference between the paper and other existing research results,explored the scope of this research,and clarified the theoretical basis,the research methods and the research thoughts.The second part of the paper,mainly including the second and the third chapters,studies the formation conditions,the formation processes,the practical elements and the periodical reflection of the Long March spirit in combination with historical documents.According to the paper,the formation conditions of the Long March spirit contain natural & social conditions and ideological & cultural conditions.In the formation processes of the Long March spirit,four key

August 7th 1927,the foundation of the Long March spirit laid by the Jinggangshan spirit and the formation node of the Long March spirit by accomplishment of Zunyi conference.Therefore,the Long March spirit is resulted from sinicization of Marxism and formed in the combination of Marxism basic principle,Chinese national spirit and actual practices of Chinese revolution.The practical elements of the Long March spirit comprise correct leadership of CPC,deep and meticulous ideological and political work,struggle in hard environment and intimate solidarity of revolutionary team.The periodical reflection of the Long March spirit covers the period of revolutionary war,beginning period of socialist revolution and construction,and construction of "New Long March" of the socialism with Chinese
