That is, people with high moral character can become teachers, and people with profound knowledge can become role models. "Speaking well is a teacher, being upright is a model" means that people with profound words become teachers, and people with good behavior become models; Shi and Fan mean teachers and models.

“A person who studies well can be a teacher and a person who is upright can be a model” is a famous saying of Mr. Tao Xingzhi. A person with high academic qualifications can be a teacher, and an upright person can be a model: This means that only by being upright can a teacher be a model for others. He said that as a qualified teacher, in addition to having solid professional knowledge and a high cultural level, more importantly, teachers should have good moral qualities.

Tao Xingzhi pointed out: "The moral quality of teachers is not only the need to regulate their own behavior, but more importantly, the need to educate students. The specialness of the teaching profession lies in educating people, not only using their own knowledge Educating people, more importantly, educating people with your own morals, not only imparting knowledge through your own language, but also using your own soul to shape the souls of students.

They are all famous quotes about cultivating one's moral character. Teachers are representatives of wisdom and the embodiment of noble personality in the minds of students. Teachers' words and deeds are moral standards. Therefore, people give the lofty title of "engineer of the human soul" to people's teachers.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi devoted his life to education and made pioneering contributions to the modernization of education in our country. He not only created a complete educational theoretical system, but also carried out a large number of educational practices. A careful examination of Tao Xingzhi’s educational thoughts reveals that innovation is like a golden thread that runs through every part of Tao Xingzhi’s educational thoughts.

Innovation here refers to getting rid of the "old" that does not meet the needs of the development of the times and creating the "new" that is consistent with social and historical progress. Innovation also has the meaning of breaking idols, getting rid of superstitions, breaking away from the shackles of dogma, and getting out of rigid and habitual thinking. The innovation of Tao Xingzhi’s educational thoughts is also reflected in the training objectives.

Aiming at the phenomenon that old education aimed at cultivating “people among people”, he pointed out that new education should cultivate “people among people” with all-round development. As early as when he founded Nanjing Anhui Public School, he proposed three educational goals for the school: studying knowledge requires a scientific spirit; transforming the environment requires an aesthetic conception; and adapting to the world requires high moral cultivation.
