Tao Xingzhi's famous saying:

1. Dripping your own sweat, eating your own food, doing your own thing, relying on people, relying on the sky and relying on your ancestors, is not a hero.

2. Education is for the public, so as to make the world public.

3. People, like trees, should try to make them grow as tall as possible, instead of forcing them all to grow as tall. Instead, they should strive for equality on the foothold and freedom at the forefront.

4. Teachers must have a healthy body, the skill of farmers, a scientific mind, the interest in art and the spirit of reforming society.

5. A good teacher is not teaching, not teaching students, but teaching students to learn.

6. everywhere is a place of creation, every day is a time of creation, and everyone is a creator.

7. Thousands of teachers teach people to seek truth, and thousands of students learn to be real people.

8. If students want to be studious, they must be studious. Only a gentleman who never tires of learning can teach a student who never tires of learning.

Tao Xingzhi's thought and practice, expressed by a pure heart, represent the orientation of advanced culture in modern China. The crisis in modern China was so difficult that "saving the country through education" became the dream of many intellectuals, among whom Tao Xingzhi was one of the most outstanding figures. He explored a new way for education in China with his childlike innocence of "holding a heart and not taking half a blade of grass".

The most valuable thing is that he not only explored in theory, but also tried to practice civilian education with the spirit of "being a camel". He has been steadfast for 3 years, and his spirit is admired by people all over the world. (People's Network Review)
