Chinese teachers should be happy and peaceful teachers.

Chinese teachers should be the ones who best embody the role and responsibility of teachers among all teachers. This is not my intention to put a label on ourselves and take responsibility. This should be our consciousness and consciousness. Speaking of teachers, the first thing we think of is our sage teacher Confucius. Confucius's "The Analects" mostly explains the philosophy of life and social ethics, but it also contains incisive discussions on education. Of course, the respectability of Confucius goes far beyond that. He also personally set up a library to teach and had thousands of students. Then what we think of is Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty. He said in "Teacher's Theory": A teacher is someone who preaches, teaches, and solves doubts. For more than a thousand years, this has become almost the most authoritative explanation of the meaning and responsibilities of a teacher. Then came the prosperity of Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. The teacher's status was equal to that of "the king of heaven and earth". At this point, the teacher's status reached the highest level. I once thought silently for a long time that in China’s ancient history for thousands of years, the so-called teachers, if we were to find a corresponding teaching position today, they should be our Chinese teachers. Although today, with the advancement of modern industry and the progress of social civilization, the classification and division of labor in social sciences and natural sciences are becoming more and more refined, Chinese teachers still have the historical responsibility of teaching knowledge, inheriting culture, and continuing the bloodline. Therefore, in many cases, Chinese teachers should It is the backbone of teachers and a symbol of culture.

A Chinese teacher should be a happy and peaceful teacher. This requirement comes not only from our confidence in ourselves, but also from our confidence in Chinese culture and Chinese language subjects. We are happy that we can exist as a cultural symbol, and we are even more happy that our language can influence hearts one after another and generations of people. You may not be able to see it now, but when we look at this period of history a thousand years from now, it may be very clear. We can say this, no matter how history changes, as long as the Chinese nation still exists, the inheritance of our Chinese culture will not change, and Chinese teaching will not change, only the methods and forms will change. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, schools were abolished and subject-specific teaching was implemented. Only then did Chinese become a separate subject from the integration of multiple subjects. From 1904 to 1949, the course names used Chinese characters, Chinese literature, scripture reading, Chinese language, Chinese language, etc. It was not until the founding of New China in 1949 that the name Chinese was officially used. Therefore, our Chinese language teaching has only a history of more than a hundred years. As a Chinese teacher, we should not be confused by the current educational situation, nor should we be too sad that Chinese is not taken seriously today. Now the education system and the college entrance examination system are facing a new round of reform. On the surface, Chinese language is getting more attention and the status of English has declined. This is certainly a good phenomenon, but we cannot be too optimistic. But in my opinion, these will not affect our teaching, which requires us to have inner peace and calmness. Ancient intellectuals were the most respected and envied group in society, and their greatest characteristic was tranquility. Although scholars or scholars also have a corrupt side, most scholars in Chinese literary works of past dynasties still have a relatively beautiful image. Most of them pursue pastoralism and love mountains and rivers, which is a manifestation of their natural and tranquil nature. There are also some people who, even when faced with difficulties and setbacks, remain graceful, optimistic and open-minded. It also shows their inner elegance. Zilu faced fierce enemies and knew that he was doomed, but he still did not forget to dress up. Su Shi encountered the Wutai Poetry Case, but still wrote famous works such as "Chibi Ode" and "Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia". What Su Shi said in "Liu Hou Lun" is "Don't be surprised when something happens suddenly, and don't get angry when something happens without reason" is my favorite quote. Although what I mentioned does not happen in education and teaching, their spirit is still worth learning and inheriting. Therefore, in Chinese teaching, Chinese teachers should have this kind of tranquility and peace.

Chinese teachers should be demonstrators of teaching and research.

When Principal Guoguang contacted me, he asked me to talk about the Chinese research in our No. 6 Middle School and my understanding of Chinese teaching. In fact, the real experts are him, Director Dai and his wife, and all of our colleagues here.

My biggest feeling about teaching and research is that I don’t force myself to do it, I do it from the bottom of my heart and act consciously. Therefore, I have never tired of doing it in the past, and I will always do it in the future.

I started working in 1999, but it was only after 2005 that I became conscious of research and felt the joy of teaching research. In that year, I participated in the Chinese Teaching Professional Committee of the Chinese Education Society and the Chinese In the 4th "Yutong Cup" Teaching Reform Rising Stars co-sponsored by the "Teaching Newsletter" magazine, I was honored to be named the "Rising Star of Teaching Reform" in the high school group. At that time, I felt very complicated, including joy, relief, and even more encouragement. I know I deserve it, and I know I have to work harder. Starting in 2006, I became more interested in Chinese language research and tried to study special topics in the form of projects. Then write some confusions or thoughts in research and teaching into a paper. During this period, I was most fortunate to meet teachers such as Zhang Guoguang, Cao Bocai, Tang Liang, Huang Pengbo, and Zhu Xianzhong. It was their selflessness, love, consideration, and tolerance that allowed me to grow quickly. They are all older than me, more qualified than me, and more capable than me, but they gave me the greatest support and the most honor when we studied together. This is something I will never forget. During this period, I presided over a National Chinese Language Conference project "Research on Extracurricular Reading in Middle Schools and the Construction of Rural Family Culture" and a Hunan Provincial Education and Scientific Research Planning Project "Research on High School Extracurricular Reading and the Construction of Rural Family Culture". Although the two topics are closely related and the results are not rich yet, it is this kind of expansion and promotion-type continuous research that has given me a lot of exercise. At the same time, I also began to publish Chinese articles in newspapers and periodicals at all levels. In the past three years, he has published no less than 100 papers and cases, including many in core magazines such as "Chinese Moral Education" and "Chinese Language Monthly". It is precisely based on this in-depth thinking about Chinese language that it further inspired my incomparable love for Chinese language.

It is my deep-rooted idea that Chinese language teachers should be role models in teaching and research. I often subjectively evaluate the quality of a Chinese teacher based on this criterion. Chinese teachers are the inheritors and disseminators of traditional culture. When I was studying, the teacher would always be filled with indignation and disdain when he talked about so-and-so being a "defender" of feudal society. Today, with a different way of thinking and a change of connotation, I feel that Chinese teachers should be defenders of traditional culture, especially traditional spirit. Among many traditional spirits, the research spirit of ancient cultural people is worthy of learning and inheritance by every Chinese teacher. This may be the reason why I am so persistent. Of course, the broad and profound characteristics of the Chinese subject, as well as the erudition and eloquence of Chinese teachers themselves are also the reasons why I think Chinese teachers should become role models in teaching and research.

In my opinion, it is not only necessary for Chinese language teachers to become role models for teaching and research, but also a blessing. It enables us to achieve professional happiness. Teaching and educating people is great, but the specific education process is full of fun and hard work. Because of this, many teachers suffer from career burnout prematurely. Adding the element of teaching and research to your educational career will undoubtedly give you a relaxing and joyful feeling of taking a shower and changing clothes after sweating profusely, feeling refreshed. In their spare time, several teachers sit together, talk about teaching, and express their opinions as they please. This is such a pleasant thing. Many times, as a Chinese language teacher, we envy the scenes described by Wang Xizhi in the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" of the literati drinking water and having long conversations; we are also full of expectations for Tao Yuanming's pastoral life of loving the mountains and rivers. But times have changed, and this kind of life experience is difficult to replicate. We need to use a poetic heart to experience the taste of modern civilization. Of course, we can also sit alone under the lamp, make a cup of tea, think and write. This kind of solitude, savored carefully, is also essential for a happy life. Happiness is a feeling. We need to experience the happiness that teaching and research brings us behind the heavy teaching tasks.

Teaching and research can also give us a strong sense of success. Everyone has the need to be praised and belong. When we gather our scattered thinking sparks into a torch, when the doubts in our hearts suddenly become clear, when our opinions are recognized by colleagues, when our practices become methods that can be promoted, When our experiences are published in newspapers... In short, when we are recognized, we will have a strong sense of success in our hearts.

Chinese teachers should be the pioneers of teaching reform

I would like to share a true story with them first. In Liuyang No. 6 Middle School, I served as the director of the teaching department from 2002 to the beginning of this year. During the 11 years, I was basically in the teaching line.

Once, the class cadre of a class came to me with a request signed by almost all the students in the class, asking the school to change the Chinese teacher. I saw that this Chinese teacher was a key teacher in the school, and he was someone I admired. So, I started from many aspects, worked as a class cadre, and also went to the class to exchange ideas with students on this matter. Of course, the Chinese teacher was not replaced in the end, but this incident caused me to reflect deeply. I am a national second-level psychological counselor. Naturally, I know that people have a misunderstanding in thinking, that is, they always imagine themselves to be better than others think, so we are easy to be blind and arrogant and make self-righteous mistakes. But a teacher who is regarded by everyone as a key teacher also encounters a day when students ask to change teachers because of problems with teaching standards. So what will happen to me in the future?

2012 coincides with the declaration of the last batch of education and scientific research bases by the Hunan Academy of Educational Sciences. Huang Pengbo and I discussed it and immediately started to collect information and applied for it. It was eventually established as one of the 100 education and scientific research bases in the province. The name of our base is: Hunan High School Chinese Teaching Reform Base. So I started to have some thoughts about teaching reform.

I think that to be a pioneer in teaching reform, you must first learn. I won’t talk about learning from books, learning from life, and learning from seniors. I want to talk about learning from students. Students come to learn from us, but they have something in them that we don’t. We need to learn how they think differently from us, what current students are thinking and reading. Let’s take a look at the just released rich list of writers and you will know. Four of the top ten are fantasy writers, as well as some online writers. It shows that our current pure literature is in crisis. If we don't understand this, you can't adjust your teaching.

I think being a pioneer in teaching reform requires innovation. For a while, I wanted to carry out a language reform. Referring to Teacher Zhao Qianxiang’s green Chinese and Teacher Wang Songzhou’s poetic Chinese, I also wanted to put forward a new statement. After thinking about it for a long time, I asked my mentors Professor Zhou Qingyuan and Professor Zhang Liangtian for advice, and worked with teachers Liu Bing and Deng Zhigang from Changsha City, and Liuyang’s Teacher Hu Zicai, our Principal Guoguang, Director Dai and the Chinese teachers of our No. 6 Middle School discussed it, and there were many sparks, but due to the lack of innovation and practicality, they were all rejected in the end. I would also like to ask our teachers here to give me some good opinions and suggestions. So in the end, I focused the construction of our base on the extracurricular reading we studied before, and continued to make this area better.

Chinese teachers should be poetic sowers

My educational motto is: Education should be a poetic life activity, and teachers should be good at sowing poetic seeds in the hearts of students. This may have something to do with my own writing of poetry. Many friends know that I am a literature lover. I mainly write prose poems, but also old-style poems and new poems in different lines. But I think a Chinese teacher should be a poetic sower, which has nothing to do with this. This is the charm and ontological requirement of language itself. As I wrote in one of my articles "Three Reasons Why Chinese Can Give You Happiness": Chinese can give you a poetic heart. As a result, your thinking will be free and ethereal, rather than philistine and dull. Because of your poetic heart, when you are in a modern city full of traffic, you will still remember the countryside with the smell of cow dung in your heart; when you face the intrigues, vulgarity and filth of Vanity Fair, you can still hear the fresh and pleasant singing of the ancients in your ears. ; Because of the poetic heart, you will cheer for the fish and birds playing, the pink and green willows, and you will feel sad when the spring flowers wither and the autumn leaves fall; because of the poetic heart, we will inhabit this blue planet poetically, beautiful and happy .

First of all, we must be a person with poetic feelings. Rooted in life, everyone can become a poet, and everyone should have poetic feelings, which will make our lives and careers happy. This sentiment comes from our understanding and appreciation of thousands of years of Chinese culture. It also comes from our understanding of the noisy world. Why are foreign countries more democratic, equal, and focused on the spirit of contract? In fact, the simplest thing is that his people truly understand life and the connotation of human beings. Many times we think those literati are stupid, but it is actually because they are too real and the society is too complicated. We often regard our flattery and conformity to secular society as wisdom. In fact, that is the biggest stupidity. Taoist priests and monks have seen through it, so they jump out of the mortal world. That is a kind of wisdom. Poets have understood society, and they still have to stick to their poetry and innocence. In fact, it is not a kind of courage. Life is only one life, and none of us has a next life.

Therefore, we should live more honestly, truthfully, openly and poetically. Of course, it will not take a while to figure this problem out, but as a Chinese teacher, we will always have more poetic feelings than other teachers.

Then we need to sow poetic seeds. In our teaching, let students feel the truth and accept the influence of beauty. Chinese teaching can be divided into basic knowledge teaching, reading teaching, composition teaching, oral communication, social practice activities, etc. We should consciously penetrate every aspect of Chinese teaching. During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, my class held a Mid-Autumn Poetry Party. With the consent of the grade department and the class teacher, I took the students to the end of the month to conduct the class, and the effect was much better than the previous few times. When I was reviewing the students' weekly diary, I was once again moved by our Mid-Autumn Poetry Party. I found that all the students in the class wrote about the poetry meeting held before the Mid-Autumn Festival. This simply shocked me. I have been teaching for fifteen years, and no student in a class has ever written about one thing at the same time in the weekly diary that did not assign unified content.

Everyone has a primitive desire to pursue poetry and happiness. Our education itself should not be rigid, but poetic. Only this vivid and poetic education process will make our students fall in love with learning and be willing to learn. Poetry can also be conveyed. When teachers teach in this poetic way, students will learn with a poetic attitude and slowly develop poetic feelings. With poetic feelings, we can feel the inner abundance and happiness no matter what situation we are in. Teaching, especially Chinese teaching, should consciously take on the task of cultivating students' poetic feelings. With the help of beautiful texts and innovative activities, poetic seeds are sown in the hearts of students, allowing these seeds to take root and sprout in the hearts of students and benefit them throughout their lives.
