On the afternoon of May 24th, when the reporter met Professor Pan Dingkun on the campus of Xi University of Architecture and Technology, he was still wearing the blue tunic suit that he had worn for many years in the video, and he spoke with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent. Speaking of his favorite poems and couplets, he opened his mouth.
This time, why didn't he talk about his major-advanced mathematics, and chose to "try to talk about the symmetrical beauty in China's couplets and poems"? Pan Lao said that he was born in a peasant family in Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province. He grew up in a private school and is familiar with the rules of poetry. He often feels worried when he sees that the poems published in some journals are "all wrong".
"Never let such good things as Tang poetry and Song poetry be lost in our hands. We must pass on these excellent cultures in China. " So he came up with the idea of making a report on poetry couplets. In order to teach this course well, he prepared for several months and carefully consulted a lot of materials.
/kloc-One afternoon in May, 2006, when Professor Pan Dingkun walked into the classroom on crutches, there was warm applause. In the nearly two-hour lecture, Pan Dingkun always stood on the podium, telling his own growth process, taking everyone close to the dullness of Tang poetry and Song poetry, and feeling the profoundness of traditional culture.
He didn't wear a microphone and didn't rest. When he can't remember the speech, he will pick up a magnifying glass and study it carefully. There are old professors with the same gray temples, young students who come from another campus by school bus, and old alumni who have graduated for many years.
"The old professor's class conveys a deep teacher's feelings, conveys a deep love for Chinese excellent culture, and conveys a deep reluctance to the three-foot platform." A young teacher was deeply touched.
Since 195 1 Fudan University graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Professor Pan Dingkun has been attached to the three-foot platform for more than 60 years.
"Mathematics is a poem that expresses the laws of nature. What impressed me most in college was that the title of the final exam of college Chinese was' On the Relationship between Mathematics and Poetry', which made me think all my life. Therefore, it is necessary to make mathematics classes lively and make students feel that mathematics is interesting, philosophical, useful and not difficult to learn. " Pan Dingkun said.
Mathematics classes in universities are generally abstract, but Pan Dingkun can use mathematics to explain some concrete phenomena in real life, making boring mathematics classes vivid and close at once. He often applies the principles in math class to his life, which not only solves difficult problems, but also accumulates vivid teaching cases.
Although he is old, he still teaches topics such as "I love calculus" and "shocking calculus-really cool" to freshmen and sophomores.
"As a teacher, you should give your students a good lecture wholeheartedly. Listening to excellent teachers, students will feel that time flies quickly and that attending classes is a very happy thing and a kind of enjoyment. " Pan Dingkun said. He recalled that when he was in college, there was a teacher, Zhou, who taught China a general history. He is good at inspiring students' thinking in lectures, which has a far-reaching impact on his later teaching career.
Pan Lao said that although he is over 90 years old, it is a pity that he receives a pension every month and does nothing. I can also give lectures to students and feel that living is meaningful.
"The classroom is the happiest, most enjoyable and most missed place in my life. As long as you are willing to listen, I am willing to keep talking. " In a counseling lecture, Pan Lao said this.
