Guangming Review
Author: Luo Ronghai
On May 29th, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held its fifth collective study on building an education strong country.This insightful and concise expression enriches the ideological connotation of the important discourse of the "Four Haves" good teacher, and provides a clear direction and path for how to cultivate the "Four Haves" good teacher.
The four words "firm", "cultivate", "cultivate", and "diligently cultivate" are concise and profound, worth savoring in detail.
Firmly uphold ideals and beliefs. "Firmness" means that ideals and beliefs are inherent in oneself, and the saying goes, 'the way is not far from others, not waiting for external demands.'. The cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is rooted in the fertile soil of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and is an ideal and belief that is already flowing in the genetic bloodline of every Chinese person. We must consciously stand up for such ideal and belief, "first support the larger ones," then nurture them well, adhere to them, withstand numerous tests, and achieve "strong but not rebellious". Only then can we be a role model for others and demonstrate group ethics.
Cultivate moral character. "Cultivation" refers to the social nature of moral character, which needs to be constantly refined in the interaction between people, and this process is gradual and subtle. We promote the core socialist values, emphasize teacher ethics and conduct, and formulate the ten guidelines for teacher behavior in the new era, which is to cultivate the moral character of teachers and students in the overall social environment, era background, and education ecology. Teachers should also have such self-awareness to keep up with the times and strive for excellence in their moral conduct.
Cultivate solid knowledge. On the one hand, "cultivation" indicates that knowledge needs to be continuously absorbed, internalized, and reformed; On the other hand, it is pointed out that teachers need to be humble, respectful, and aware of their shortcomings.And "cultivation" requires our teachers to always maintain a passion for learning knowledge and pursuing truth, like Confucius, to "forget to eat with anger, forget to worry with joy, and never know that old age is coming", and always maintain a temperament and determination that is not worried, not confused, not arrogant or restless.
Diligently cultivate a benevolent heart. "Diligent cultivation" emphasizes that the "heart of benevolence" is not fixed and needs to be nurtured and developed at all times, otherwise it will weaken or even be lost. The famous ancient fable "Washing the Cow Mountain" clearly explains why the mind needs to constantly cultivate, warning us that "if we strive for its nourishment, nothing will grow; if we strive for its nourishment, nothing will disappear.". Teachers bear the sacred responsibility of imparting knowledge and educating people, and they need to cultivate the "mind learning" of people's teachers. With a full and lively heart of kindness, they can win widespread respect from society.
Confucius once said, "Aspiring to the Tao, based on virtue, based on benevolence, and wandering in art." Zhu Xi commented, "In this chapter, it is said that the way people learn should be like this." From the traditional Confucian views on self-cultivation and learning, to the proposal of the "Four Haves" by good teachers, and to constantly adding new connotations, we have clearly seen the interplay of ancient and modern wisdom, as well as the infinite possibilities of creative transformation and innovative development.
