The spirit of Anyuan has not drawn suffi cient attention in China for a long time, nor has its historical status been fully revealed. This study interprets the spirit of Anyuan from the dimensions of the early workers' movement of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the heritage of modern industrial civilization, and the spiritual lineage of the CPC. The study concludes that the Anyuan workers' movement is the representative work of the Chinese workers' movement. The spirit of Anyuan is a shining banner of the early workers' movement of the CPC and a valuable red heritage of China's modern industrial civilization, as well as an important evolutionary hub in the spiritual lineage of the CPC. It is a model of the revolutionary spirit of the Chinese workers' movement, and a common historical memory and a valuable spiritual asset of the entire Chinese revolution and national industrialization.
