A basic point of the Olympic spirit philosophy of harmonious development of body and mind is to emphasize the coordinated development of human body and mind, which is the organic unity of harmony and balance of body, will, wisdom and morality, as pointed out in the Olympic Charter: "The purpose of Olympism is to make sports serve the harmonious development of human beings." It can be seen that Olympism has expanded the connotation of sports, making sports an active, healthy and civilized way of life, and the function of sports is increasingly focused on people's all-round development, especially to achieve physical and mental balance. The winner of the competition should not only be skilled and healthy, but also have noble morality, full heart and elegant manners.
The spirit of fair competition From the perspective of the rules and systems of activities, Olympism embodies the spirit of fair competition, which is regarded as the most basic value criterion in ancient Olympic Games and the lofty ideal pursued by modern Olympic Games. Article 6 of the Olympic Charter points out: "The purpose of the Olympic Movement is to educate young people through sports activities in accordance with the Olympic spirit-the spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition, without any form of discrimination, thus contributing to building a peaceful and better world." It requires athletes to abide by basic social ethics and respect all winners who meet the principle of fairness.
The patriotic Olympic movement has great attraction all over the world, and the key lies in that it has aroused people's strong patriotic enthusiasm. This patriotic spirit not only inspires the vigorous development of the modern Olympic Movement, but also greatly stimulates the sense of national belonging, identity and pride of young people, which has greatly promoted the cohesion of the country and the nation. At the quadrennial Olympic Games, whenever athletes win the crown of victory through hardships and stare at the national flag raised in Ran Ran with the accompaniment of the national anthem, I believe that moment also makes countless people rejoice and feel reverence for the motherland.
Idealism Article 14 of the Olympic Charter stipulates: "The Olympic motto' Faster, Higher and Stronger' is the call of the International Olympic Committee to all people who belong to the Olympic Movement and encourages them to advance in the Olympic spirit." The widely circulated motto "Faster, Higher and Stronger" in this passage fully expresses that people constantly surpass and defeat their Olympic ideals physically and intellectually. This idealistic spirit is closely related to people's pursuit of diligence in study, nobility in personality, perfection in art and Excellence in work.
Olympism, which takes struggle as its pleasure, also attaches great importance to cultivating people's enthusiasm for participating in the Olympic Games and other sports activities, believing that participation is the foundation. Without participation, the ideals, principles and purposes of the Olympic Games cannot be discussed. As Coubertin said: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not victory, but participation, just as the most important thing in life is not victory, but struggle, not conquest, but hard work." When a marathon runner falls down because of fatigue when approaching the finish line and struggles to get up and run to the finish line, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. He gives people the image of a winner who pays attention to participation and struggle, not a loser.
