China people like the golden mean, and writing articles is no exception. No matter what style, we should strive to be objective, comprehensive and fair, so as not to be extreme in view, but also to be watertight, so as not to leave others with an attack handle and a mocking tongue.
In fact, the doctrine of the mean view may not be correct, and radical expression often produces new ideas. The following text is the same, emotional enough, not deep enough, full of loopholes, but all this is my own thinking, not asking for approval, just asking for it! !
Do you remember your Chinese teacher?
To tell the truth, I can't remember most of the Chinese teachers who taught me-from primary school to high school to university. Some teachers are serious but boring, some are interesting but grandiose, and few are brilliant. However, I don't have much contact with them, but more respect and admiration, and there are no details to remember.
The last one left is Zhang Yuxian, a primary school teacher.
She is plain and has many freckles on her face. Naturally, she is not beautiful, often with dignified colors, making it more difficult for people to feel close.
I am excellent in my class, both in daily performance and academic performance. However, in a class, I was quite absorbed in talking and laughing with my classmates, completely ignoring the dignified eyes of Teacher Zhang on the stage, so she picked up a chalk head on the podium and threw it into my head accurately and forcefully, still staring at me with dignity, but the text explanation in her mouth didn't stop at all. The pain in the head is not strong, but the touch in the heart is quite great. I am busy hunching my back and listening to the class honestly.
Another time, I asked Teacher Zhang about the pronunciation of a word, but she was not sure at that time. So after class, she took me to her residence, then bent down and knelt on the ground, dragged out a big box from under the bed with difficulty, took out a dictionary from the box, looked up the words and told me patiently. Then he asked me: Do you have a dictionary? I said no, so she gave me the dictionary.
It seems to be the fourth grade. She married Huaiyin and stopped teaching us. Before leaving, she went to the class to say goodbye to us, said a few words, and then waved at us. Her majestic eyes and thin figure disappeared at the end of the playground. ...
I looked at her back with my eyes waiting for a while. I didn't cry like in the movie, but my inner regret and disappointment are still clear and true.
This is the only Chinese teacher I remember and miss.
"The so-called education is what remains after you forget what the school taught you."
Teacher Zhang once taught me a lot of Chinese knowledge, but now I can't remember most of it. I remember and appreciate Teacher Zhang more because of her majestic eyes, a figure kneeling on the ground, and the painting she waved when she left. ...

(2) Is the Chinese teacher useful?
Looking back on my Chinese learning experience for more than 30 years, we can see that the influence of Chinese teachers is minimal, and Chinese learning is almost entirely on my own.
I liked reading books when I was in primary school. From The Story to The Water Margin, The Journey to the West and other comic books, from The King of Fairy Tales to The Adventures of the Boatman, I am hungry for every book. Don't boast that I love learning. Reading is actually the nature of every child. If I have to find a hero, it must be my parents who should be grateful.
My mother can't read, and my father only knows a few words, but they love me and are full of awe in reading. As long as I am reading, they are happy. As long as I want to buy books, they never refuse. In the fourth grade of primary school, I had more than one hundred comic books. At that time, compared with my peers, I was also a huge fan of books. That summer vacation, my sister and I also carried more than 100 comic books to the county seat to set up stalls, earned a few dollars, and had an addiction to "doing business in the sea."
Since junior high school, I have read more and more miscellaneous books, such as Gu Long, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng ... Harvest, contemporary, ancient and modern legends ... Du Fu's poems and Lu Xun's essays. Read as much as you can, and throw away what you can't understand. Quite free, especially enjoy!
At this time, I should thank a neighbor brother named "Dali". He is four or five years older than me. He is good at calligraphy and has a large collection of books, most of which are "tall, big and elegant". I can't read many books. Although he failed in the college entrance examination twice, in my heart, he is a well-deserved "college student"!
His brother and I are playmates. When Brother Dali is not at home, we go to his room to read books. Then I took my favorite book home and read it, Stealing from Me. This behavior is really excessive, but every time I ask about the whereabouts of the book, I won't force it back, as long as I return it in time.
In the third year of senior high school, extracurricular reading activities were temporarily suspended, and I went out early and returned late to meet the exam with all my strength. Most of the books or magazines I bought were Beyond Middle School Students' Vocabulary and Reading for Middle School Students. For the college entrance examination, I sacrificed three precious years to get a college admission notice, which is also worthwhile.
After four years in college, I was busy studying, playing at sixes and sevens, reading a lot of books, and began to write something seriously. I was not moved by any teacher, nor was it out of my love for literature. I am completely driven by vanity. I read, write, revise, vote, miss and vote again ... Finally, the first work was published, and I received the first payment in my life, then the second and third. ...
At this time, I want to thank the authors of those books, the masters, and the two buddies who have always been better at Chinese than me in college. I also need to thank my vanity of wanting to be famous. ...
I have been thinking: Does the teacher play a role in my Chinese study? How much effect did it play?
I think, for me, the role of Chinese teachers is not great.

(3) What's the use of a Chinese teacher?
At this time, you will say: What's the use of being a Chinese teacher? You quit your job and change careers!
No, I can't because some students still remember me.
After teaching for 20 years, the happiest thing is that there are still students who always remember you.
Once I went to Nanjing, I met my classmates who had been separated for fifteen years. He works as a software engineer in a foreign company with a high annual salary. I didn't actually teach him. As the instructor of the Literature Society, I spent some time with him. At the dinner table, he recalled the past and said, "I don't even want to see the head teacher when I go back to my alma mater." Once in high school, I was reading extra-curricular books in self-study class, and she actually tore them up in public, which was a great blow to me. I still remember it. Lao Yang, you are different, tolerant and easy-going, open-minded, close to us and grow together! Haha! "
Another boy called me from Nanjing on Teacher's Day. He said, "Do you know Lao Yang? You brought me light in my darkest hour ... "His words puzzled me. Later, when I remembered studying, his grades were average, but he loved seal cutting and was obsessed with it. His parents objected and some teachers criticized him. But I have always encouraged him and told him that he should stick to what he likes and do his best. He asked my opinion when he was taking the school exam, whether to take the local school or Nanjing. I suggested that he go to the provincial capital. I think from his hobby, there are many talents in big cities and great room for development, that's all.
Some students have contacted me online. To tell the truth, I can't remember many people's faces, and I can't remember the details of getting along. Some don't even know each other, and I haven't taught them. Some said they were introduced by classmates and added me as a friend. These students never forget to greet me during the holidays. Their words have always warmed my heart and inspired me to work hard.
Then I thought: What's the use of a Chinese teacher? What exactly should we teach students?
Finally, I came to the conclusion that all I can see is perishable and unimportant; What is invisible is unforgettable forever.
Visible, such as text chapters, word phrases, practice papers, score ranking. ...
Intangible, such as respect, care, persistence, tolerance, understanding, courage and perseverance. ...
The former is "teaching" and the latter is "preaching" and "dispelling doubts".

(4) Chinese, what should I teach?
In Chinese teaching, we often want to cover everything: basic knowledge, writers' works, famous sayings and epigrams, poetry appreciation, reading comprehension, composition skills … all of which we want to improve students.
Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
Different from mathematics and English, the improvement of Chinese proficiency is often calculated by "years". After 60 points in Grade One and three years of hard work, there may not be any major changes when you graduate, especially reading and writing.
There are two reasons: first, the key points are not grasped, and second, the methods are improper.
From the perspective of examination, the focus of Chinese learning should be "basic knowledge" and "classical Chinese". First, the make-up exam takes a long time; Second, because the effect is quick, the effort will be rewarded.
Reading and writing can be ignored or even given up, especially exam-oriented composition. It is better to practice calligraphy seriously than to learn skills desperately.
Treating headaches and foot pains is often a quack. Find the root of the disease and prescribe the right medicine to cure it.
Poor reading ability is not due to insufficient reading topics, but often due to insufficient articles. If you write less, it is naturally difficult to understand the clever layout of the author's articles, the clever combination of materials and the exquisite wording and sentences. How to read them?
Poor composition is not necessarily a lack of articles, but often a lack of reading accumulation. Complex beings, rich souls and changing social conditions cannot be felt with dull eyes and dead hearts.
Famous masterpieces are open windows, open eyes, dexterous hands and sentimental hearts. They spread out one painting after another, presenting a scene, making dull eyes vivid, making dead hearts beat, making dead words come alive, and making blocked sentences flow happily again. ...
Therefore, if you want to learn Chinese well, you need to start from an early age and focus on reading. Digging at the source of the river is big and deep, accumulating lively and splashing water, and the rivers and streams downstream are naturally inexhaustible. Instead of running around in rivers or estuaries, working hard and getting nothing.
Many times, the Chinese teacher left us not a wonderful lesson, but a comforting look, an encouraging word, an infection of behavior, a little ideological enlightenment and a road guide.
The rest is mainly on our own.
I'm thinking, a semester, teachers can teach only a dozen texts, and a semester, self-taught articles can reach hundreds or even more. Moreover, the teacher's detailed analysis is likely to cut off the wings of our imagination, and the "standard answer" occupies the vast sky of our free thinking. The utilitarian boring training replaced the aesthetic pleasure experience. Is the Chinese teacher helping us learn Chinese, or is it keeping us away from Chinese?
So, what should Chinese teach students?
I think there are three main points:
Tell the students that reading is very important.
Many students have not formed the habit of reading since childhood. There are parents who despise reading at home and people who pursue utility in society. Gradually, they also stay away from and despise reading.
Teachers of other subjects seldom lead students to read, so this job falls on the shoulders of Chinese teachers. If we can tell students in a limited time, such as three years, such as five years, reading is a kind of communication, a kind of follow-up, a way of life and an attitude towards life, it can calm you down, sober you up, enrich you and make you forge ahead. If students get close to books and fall in love with reading, then they will broaden their horizons and change their horizons, and Chinese teachers will realize their self-worth and forge ahead.
2. Instruct students what books to read.
Different ages, different hobbies, different ideals and pursuits, and different contents of reading. But in the student stage, it is mainly to lay the foundation, and it is best to read some books that lay the foundation of life. For example, the origin of the earth, the birth of life, the beauty of the world, the composition of society, the secret of happiness, the hardships of struggle, the thinking of life and death, and the choice of giving up and getting.
Here, I can't list the specific bibliography, because traditional culture has dross, western thought has limitations, new books and good books emerge one after another, and teachers' level is high or low. We can choose some books recommended by famous teachers and recommend them to students. You can also combine the teacher's reading experience, or let the students introduce each other. In short, the basic reading spirit and direction remain unchanged, but books must keep pace with the times and ideas can be continuously enriched and innovated.
3. Listen to the students and constantly help them correct their direction.
No matter primary school, junior high school or senior high school, no matter ordinary senior high school or vocational school, Chinese teachers are often more likely to become good friends of students and are more willing to listen to their complaints. There are two reasons: first, the "perceptual" characteristics of Chinese subjects are not available in other disciplines, and second, Chinese teachers often read more after class. Reading more, people's emotions will be richer and more delicate, their personality will be quieter and easier to enter students' hearts.
Therefore, it is very important for Chinese teachers to approach students, understand their thoughts and feelings, understand their joys and sorrows, get along on an equal footing, listen patiently, guide carefully, be good teachers and friends, and correct their direction in time.
Education is not omnipotent, nor is the teacher omnipotent, let alone a Chinese teacher who can cure all diseases.
However, Chinese subject has its own characteristics, and Chinese teachers also have a unique position. As long as we are not short-sighted, unscrupulous, less utilitarian, more conscientious, persuasive and emotional, then the status of Chinese teachers is irreplaceable as always.
