Abstract: As an important branch of the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese communists, the Jiao Yulu spirit has rich rational content that includes the spirit of public servant of always serving the people, the pragmatic and realistic working style, the spirit to struggle regardless of difficulties and the moral sentiment of staying clean and working for the public. Time advances, so does the Jiao Yulu spirit. Now its contemporary significance is becoming increasingly obvious in the following aspects: fostering firm ideals and beliefs, building a good style of work, disseminating the core values of Chinese socialism, and consolidating the Chinese nation to realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation. To strengthen inheritance and development of the Jiao Yulu spirit in the new era means further strengthening our mission consciousness, remembering the original inspiration, stressing pragmatic working style, enhancing struggle skills, embracing difficulties and adhering to the great fighting spirit.
