Changsha, Hunan, is a famous historical and cultural city deeply influenced by Huxiang culture, and it is a place where talents and talents from Huxiang gather together. In 1994, Changsha held a big discussion on "Changsha Spirit", and the final result of the discussion also became a high generalization of Huxiang cultural spirit, so let us understand what the spirit of Huxiang culture is.

In 1994, Qin * *, then a standing member of the Central Hunan Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Changsha City, advocated a big discussion on the urban spirit-"Changsha Spirit" in Changsha, and proposed that the excellent spiritual character of Changsha people since ancient times should be summarized as a paragraph and sublimated into an excellent Changsha consciousness, so as to be pursued, praised, followed and followed by the people of the whole city.

The discussion activity lasted for half a year, and all citizens participated in the voting for "Changsha Spirit". In the second round of voting, the candidate term "Worrying about the world and being the first" was widely recognized by all walks of life and the general public, and once it was launched, it was immediately accepted and praised by all citizens.

"Worry about the world, dare to be the first", the first sentence is taken from Zuo Zongtang's couplet "I don't have half an acre of worry about the world, and I have read thousands of books to make friends with the ancients", and the next sentence is taken from "Dare to be the first in the world" in Tao Te Ching. This slogan highlights the anxious spirit of Huxiang children who take the world as their responsibility. In history, Zuo Zongtang studied at home and Mao Leader encouraged himself when he was studying in Changsha. To interpret it in today's language is to have the awareness of the world and the overall situation.

The phrase "Dare to be the first" highlights the enterprising spirit of Huxiang culture and the fearless spirit of Hunan Army in history, which is "not afraid of ghosts, not believing in evil, and being overbearing". Because of this, children of Huxiang can take the lead in the Reform Movement of 1898, the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement and the China Revolution. Interpreting it in today's words means reform, innovation and pioneering spirit.

The two sentences "Worrying about the world and being the first" are concise, catchy and forceful, which are very typical, very appropriate and accurate, and summarize the "Changsha spirit", which further refines the spirit and thought of Huxiang culture, guides and inspires Huxiang people to love and build their hometown and work hard for its modernization.
