The "three treasures" of Laozi's holy learning were put forward by Laozi, the holy teacher: "Kindness, inspection and daring are the best in the world. If interpreted in modern colloquial language, "kindness, inspection and dare not take the lead in the world." "Love is like a close relative, examine and test, and dare not be the arrogant leader of human beings in the world. 」?

"Kindness, inspection, and dare not take the lead in the world. It is the basic core of Laozi's educational thought and the teaching core of saint education. ?

"Kindness" is the love of the closest relatives. Love for others is the basic core of any religion and education. Confucius talks about benevolence, Mozi talks about universal love, Sakyamuni talks about compassion, Jesus talks about love, and Laozi talks about kindness. "Benevolence, universal love, compassion, love and kindness" have some differences in argument and practice, but they all point to "loving others" in addition to loving yourself.

Therefore, any noble religion, philosophy and education of human beings cannot be without "kindness" as the basic core. Any religion, philosophy or education that does not take "kindness" as its basic core is bound to deviate from human nature, and it has no positive value to human beings in the world.

"inspection" is an open inspection test to seek truth, not a closed inspection test to examine other people's thinking with arbitrary truth; This is also the biggest difference between open education and closed religion. School education absolutely emphasizes "inspection". Writing mathematics requires checking, reading English requires testing, learning philosophy requires testing, engaging in science requires verification, and even daily routines strive to follow the truth. These are all inspection tests.

Without censorship, education can only be the transmission of established stereotypes, which is a brainwashing that imprisons people, not an open education. Therefore, "censorship" is an important core of open education and the most prominent feature of education.

"Don't dare to be the first in the world" simply means don't dare to be the boss. This is the free thought of equality between countries, ethnic groups and everyone. The educational core of "not daring to be the first in the world" ensures the effectiveness of educational knowledge-seeking activities and enables human beings to achieve an equal and free society. Let the effectiveness of knowledge-seeking activities not become a tool and ability for individuals to pursue power.

I take "kindness, inspection and dare not be the first in the world". As the core of educational thought, it has been renewed for 2,5 years. It provides an extremely accurate prescription for the inaccuracy of the current educational core, the deviation of educational vision and various educational chaos.

Explain the feasibility of applying Laozi's educational thought in today's society

(1) Introduction

Education can influence the strength of national power and the level of culture; The success of education depends on the strategy of outstanding educators, and the perfection and feasibility of educational ideas are often the factors that determine educators to achieve ideal results. Therefore, in all parts of the world, even in international seminars, as long as the subject of education is involved, "educational thought" will inevitably become a hot topic that experts and scholars are scrambling to publish, hoping to get inspiration from it, set perfect goals and implement feasible methods. Therefore, teachers, educators and educational thoughts are closely related. Even so, the success or failure of education depends on "educational thoughts".

As the saying goes, "There is no immutable law in the world", but the truth is always the truth, enduring for a long time, such as "Where there is gathering, there will be dispersion" and "Where there is life, there will be death"; In economics, as long as there is a market, a certain commodity is bound to be popular. As far as national policy is concerned, changing policies through legislation is never as thorough and effective as the subtle influence of education. Li Er (Lao Zi) was born at a time when the world was in chaos and other countries were juxtaposed. When the princes were fighting for hegemony and the disabled were showing off, he had the great ambition of helping the country and relieving the people's sufferings. If he made remarks that were harmful to those with vested interests, he would be blamed. Therefore, Lao Tzu adopted the strategy of hiding but not promoting, being empty and not real, but it achieved results and prevailed for a while.

Laozi's educational thought, although it was in the pre-Qin period, is still in line with today's world. At present, Hong Kong's environment is rich in material resources, and there are many places for consumption. In addition, the mass loves metaphysical material life, but regards metaphysical spiritual life as inferior culture. And how can the students who are studying clearly distinguish right from wrong and be immune to it? At this time, it seems to be effective for excellent students if the teacher declares clearly in the opening chapter that students should abandon the enjoyment advocated by young people at present and invest in reading that is despised by the public. However, it is difficult for those who are inferior. Therefore, personally, I believe that effective results can be achieved in teaching if Laozi's subtle method is adopted.

(2) Cultivating teachers' ideal personality

Laozi's educational thought ensures that students can preserve their pure nature, so as to avoid being lured by external material desires and drowned by their own desires, thus harming society and disturbing the world. To achieve this goal, teachers need to have rich knowledge, flexible skills, meticulous thoughts and the spirit of sacrifice.

"No Shang Xian, let the people do not dispute" "Tao Te Ching? Chapter III:

Those who don't excessively flaunt their excellent academic performance (for example, the annual results of the secondary education examination are released, and the media only report that the behavior of "No.1 scholar" has begun to be criticized by the public); So that students will not feel complacent or inferior, so as not to affect their stagnation in studying in Germany.

"Don't be arrogant, don't be arrogant, and don't be arrogant." Chapter 22;

"Edge is not awkward, straight is not arrogant, and light is not dazzling" "Chapter 58":

When a person is going forward bravely, he should leave room. Only when he does not boast about his merits, has low self-esteem, has edges and corners but does not stab people, and has honest and frank without arrogance, will he be respected by students and admired by his peers. This so-called "musk deer is naturally fragrant", so why insist?

"A Survey of Xu Xuan", Chapter 1;

"never leave home, you know the world, you don't peek, you see heaven. Chapter 47:

Get rid of distractions, observe carefully, rely on knowledge, put yourself in another place or substitute in it, and think quietly. Although faced with many problems, you can solve them without leaving home. If you refuse to think, your knowledge will be limited.

"We should learn from the body ... we should learn from the home ... so we should learn from the body and learn from the home ..." Chapter 54:

This observation that excludes people's historical feelings through personal experience and painstaking thinking and regaining "inaction and no desire" is more credible, and it is more objective to observe others from the self after experiencing Xiu De. If we use the positive, negative and combined methods again, we will be comprehensive and not stick to one pattern, and analyze it from different angles or even from the opposite perspective, we will be comprehensive! Only in this way can we win the support of the students. In the case of leaving nothing behind, we should also choose words that are pertinent, appropriate, accurate and to the point, and avoid being vague and irrelevant, which will certainly be welcomed by the students.

"It is based on the sage's inaction, teaching without words, and doing everything without beginning" "Chapter 2"; "I am good at the good, and I am good at the bad, and I am good at virtue; I believe in those who believe, and I believe in those who don't, and I am sincere. "Chapter 49"; "Tao can be Tao, very Tao. "the first chapter"; "It's better to keep a few words than to be poor. "Chapter 5"; "The knower doesn't speak, the speaker doesn't know. Chapter 56: In today's society, it is advocated that "teaching by example is more important than teaching by words", and educators must set an example. Education is not empty talk, but the effect of education should be achieved by osmosis; If it is applied to tutorial teaching, it is particularly effective. Therefore, some so-called stubborn students have actually failed many times. Therefore, whenever they encounter difficulties, they will open a "protective net" and form a stubborn character-unwilling to compromise. At this time, even if they are persuaded, it will be difficult to achieve results. On the contrary, students' chances of acceptance will be greatly increased if they follow nature and talk less. "Learning is getting worse and worse, and the Tao is getting worse and worse, which leads to inaction. "Chapter 48":

As long as you work hard, you will gain benefits every day. However, if teachers work hard to correct homework, prepare lessons, and help students, it goes without saying that leisure time and entertainment time are used for teaching, because only in this way can you be called to devote yourself wholeheartedly to teaching, and if so, your distractions and extravagant hopes will naturally be diminished, which is worth it. Opinions vary! Try to look at foreign candles. Why not burn yourself in order to "shine on others"?

(3), make students understand the way to study

I think that the greatest sin of human beings is lust, the greatest harm is insatiability, and the greatest fault is insatiability. These arguments, viewed today, are not appropriate. Students are human beings, and the time spent studying is naturally replaced by pleasure. At this time, teachers should skillfully analyze students' correct goals and proper attitudes when studying. After completion, the effect will be like the difference between "colored paper is difficult to color, but white paper is different".

"Be simple, be selfish and have few desires. Chapter 19:

The fairest measure of the creator is to give everyone 24 hours a day and use it at will. Teachers should imply that a person can't achieve much in his career if he spends most of his time on pleasure. Similarly, if you want to do well in school, you should spend more time-that is, work hard, but also control or reduce your personal desires, so that you can concentrate on completing one thing, and this can be called a meaningful and fruitful thing.

"Eat what you like, dress what you like, live in peace, and enjoy what you like" "Chapter 8":

The reason why students are difficult to teach is that they can't find a solution after many failures, and they lose interest because of boredom. Teachers should look for subjects they are interested in with students through observation, so that they can live on campus again, which can not only solve the problem students. "if you have your mother, you will know your son, and if you have your son, you will be safe."

"Chapter 52": Middle school education is a universal education. If you invest too much, it will be ugly, even biased or obsessed. If you want to develop professionally, you can enter a university or a college in the future. When a student loves a certain subject, such as physical education, the teacher can guide the students to study the problems related to physical education, such as the name of the action and how to call it in English. Slowly lead and improve the interest in learning English.

"If you don't see yourself, you will be clear, you won't be self-sufficient, you won't be self-sufficient, you won't be self-sufficient, so you will be long. "Chapter 22":

Most people like to show off their achievements, especially students. In order to get ahead among their peers, they do not hesitate to innovate and develop a competitive character. At this time, it can be implied that there is no merit, no virtue, and no selflessness. Isn't this theory of "full of losses and modest benefits" applicable to today's teaching?

"Therefore, a good person is not a good teacher, and a bad person is a good person's talent. He doesn't value his teacher and doesn't love his talent, although he is full of wisdom. Chapter 27:

Doing things and studying are often two-in-one things. A person with poor grades should learn, imitate and be influenced by a person with excellent grades-a good person is a teacher who is not good at others. The society is changing with each passing day, and knowledge is constantly innovating. Even those who have excellent grades should improve their methods with the times in order to make progress-the talent of those who are not good at people is good at people. This kind of research method, which attaches importance to teachers' experience and draws lessons from predecessors, is certainly feasible in today's teaching.

(4) Effective use of teaching methods

In today's rich material and hedonism-oriented times, it is almost like trying to get rid of the present and concentrate on learning. However, the proper method can achieve the effect of bringing order out of chaos; Now try to find one or two things from Laozi's educational thought: "Doing nothing, doing nothing, is tasteless." "Chapter 13";

"Laws are flourishing, and there are many thieves ... I do nothing, but the people are self-righteous. I am quiet and the people are self-righteous. "Chapter 57" Nowadays, teachers can only do things with the mentality of "Tao is natural" and "saints are impermanent", and they can do something, and they can't interfere with students' natural learning. They should "help the nature of all things and dare not do it" like water. "Chapter 47"; No pretense, no interference, no reluctance and no compulsion to students, but haste makes waste, and it will only have bad consequences. "the road is abandoned, with righteousness and wisdom, and there is great falsehood

. "Chapter 18":

A school is an institution that cultivates academics. Only by having a simple style of study can it produce outstanding talents. Only in this way can it be easily recognized by students. Only by studying in this fair, reasonable and feasible environment can it be successful. Naturally, there is no need to make use of achievements other than academic achievements to improve the status of itself or the school.

"It is born from the old ways, bred by virtue and bred by growth; The poison of the pavilion is raised and covered. "Chapter 51"; "Always good at saving people, so there is no abandonment; Always be good at saving things, so don't abandon things, which means attacking Ming

"It is born in the old way, bred by virtue, and nurtured by long; The poison of the pavilion is raised and covered. "Chapter 51"; "Always good at saving people, so there is no abandonment; Always good at saving things, so there is no abandonment, which is called attacking Ming. "Chapter 27";

"Therefore, things move and follow, or they blow, or they are strong or win, or they are frustrated or frustrated. Chapter 29: Lao Tzu's so-called equal opportunity for everyone to receive education is the purpose of implementing nine-year compulsory education in Hong Kong at present; It is also one of the professional codes for teachers in Hong Kong to care for and educate all school-age children. However, the degree of students varies, and individual differences are inevitable. Forcibly adopting a "one size fits all" approach will only lead to jealousy, hostility, cunning fraud, hypocrisy and other ills. Therefore, Laozi advocates that different standards should be adopted according to different degrees, and this method has actually been implemented in individual remedial classes and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. The way of heaven, the loss is more than enough, but it is not enough < P >. Chapter 77: The feasibility is extremely high, and many schools have adopted it. For example, the Chinese history review room, in which students with better grades tutor students with lower grades, and students guide students, has less barriers and is easy to communicate. Those with poor grades will certainly make progress, and senior students can also learn from each other.

"If you want it, you must strengthen it; if you want it to be weak, you must strengthen it; if you want it to be abolished, you must strengthen it.

. "Chapter 36";

"It's difficult to make a picture easy, because it's more detailed than it is. The world's difficult things must be made easy, and the world's great things must be made detailed. Chapter 63:

Laozi's theory of encouraging students to manage and learn by themselves, with teachers only playing an auxiliary role, in order to give full play to students' talents and initiative, and advocating that learning should start from the shallow to the deep, from the easy to the difficult, from the easy to the small, and from the unexplored, who dares to say that it is useless and out of date? "Against the movement of the tao. "Chapter 4":

The law of going back and forth and going round and round, if applied to teaching, will definitely deepen students' impression of problems or things.

(5) Conclusion

Laozi's thought is full of wisdom, and even if we examine it today after thousands of years, we can still find that it has the significance of the times; Although he didn't have a teaching exposition like Confucius, Mencius and Mozi, the "teaching without words" achieved its educational purpose by teaching implicitly, indirectly and imperceptibly, and its ideological field can be said to be broader than other factions. However, due to the lack of specific elaboration, teachers should try to figure it out by themselves, use local materials, adapt to the times, and advocate that education should not be rushed, and should be allowed to develop according to the laws of nature. Don't be bound by people's clever ethics, be different from others.
