Xin Qiji, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, said in The Fisherman's Passion: "Moral articles will be passed down from generation to generation until you are three." "Virtue" and "literature", "virtue" and "learning" are all in the same breath throughout the ages, while China people always like to put "virtue" first, which undoubtedly reflects the consistent concept of foreigners, that is, virtue is the basis of articles and learning. The so-called "virtue" refers to being a person or being a person. To be a decent person, we should strive to be noble in character and elegant in style. With Gog, we will not be insatiable and short-sighted, giving up our ideals and pursuits in the face of secularity and material desires, but just falling into the decadent quagmire of chasing fame and fortune, unable to extricate ourselves, and finally no different from ants; As teachers whose responsibility is to educate people, we need to have high standards, compassionate feelings, broad minds and lofty ideals. With these excellent qualities, it is possible to reach a fresh and beautiful realm, just like a rich and affectionate peach forest. Only in this way can we talk about educating students and being teachers. Only in this way can the university truly become the spiritual highland of a nation and a country and become the promotion of social moral standards.
In today's era of knowledge explosion and convenient communication, the importance of teaching, in a sense, is far less than that of the era of high monopoly of education. In the noisy fairy civilian society, it is no longer so difficult to acquire knowledge. So it can be said that teachers should do more "preaching". What does "preaching" depend on? Of course, it depends on the teacher's personality charm and moral appeal. Everything the teacher says and does, bit by bit, will turn into spring water and water the flowers in the students' hearts. When we are on the seven-foot platform, whether we are rigorous, funny, wise, elegant, extensive, expert, honest or chic, we will refine our personality charm and moral demeanor into a spiritual candle, lead students to persevere and inspire them to climb steadily on the ladder with warm and moving light. A few years later, what he taught may have vanished into the sea of information, but the spiritual demeanor of the preacher will be fixed in the hearts of countless students and turned into a touching landscape.
"Learning for the sake of learning" is far from the possession of knowledge at the measurement level. It is more important to go beyond measurement and pursue it at the methodological level, because in today's era, it has become very easy to acquire knowledge, especially for college students with strong self-learning ability. However, how to integrate knowledge and innovate is far from easy at any time, and it is even more difficult in today's era. I think that as a university teacher, the pursuit of the dimension of "learning" should be in the methodological sense, as well as in the teaching process, that is, we should not be satisfied with teaching students a little knowledge that may have fallen behind, but more importantly, teach students the methods of acquiring and creating knowledge on the methodological level. After all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. Giving people fish is the real "teacher". Learning Chinese and foreign languages is an extremely lofty goal, and perhaps few people can really achieve it. However, as teachers, we should always emphasize the word "Tou", and only through mastery can there be innovation. This is the way for teachers to "learn".
So it can be said that being a teacher is the first step in learning.
