Yan'an Spirit, formed during the Yan'an period of the CPC, develops forward with the party and is concretely reflected on every Communist Party member. Manifested as the soul of the party, Yan'an spirit includes CPC's ideal and belief, guiding ideology, aim and work style. To introduce Yan'an spirit into campus is an inevitable requirement of the party's educational policy and the need to cultivate qualified talents for socialist modernization. To learn from Yan'an spirit means to put moral education first, and attach
importance to student's political orientation and political stand. Starting from the reality of the university, Dali University has worked hard on launching campus activity in the light of Yan'an spirit from ideological understanding, working content and method, working platform, working field development and staff construction.
