After the death of Confucius, students not only often talk about his thoughts, morals and experiences, but also often recall his daily life clearly. Confucius paid great attention to his manners and appearance. In dealing with people, everything is polite, gentle in words and deeds, elegant in actions, and has developed some good habits in food, clothing, housing and transportation. For example, after drinking with a countryman, we always let the older people go first and then quit. Don't talk to others while eating; Don't talk too much before going to bed.
Confucius not only paid attention to politeness, but also emphasized the necessity of true feelings. He is very compassionate. Confucius liked singing very much, but when someone held a funeral, he stopped singing that day. He never gets enough to eat beside people whose relatives have died. He saw a blind man and a man in mourning, even if the other was young, he would stand up; What I met on the road was also met soon. One day, a blind musician came to see Confucius, who greeted him quickly. When the musician reached the edge of the steps, Confucius told him, "This is the steps". When he came to the mat, Confucius told him, "This is a mat." . After the musician sat down, Confucius introduced the people in the room to him one by one and said, "So-and-so is sitting here and so-and-so is sitting there." After seeing off the musician, the student Zhang asked, "Isn't this too much trouble?" Confucius replied, "You should receive the blind in this way." . Once the stable caught fire, Confucius quickly asked, "Did you hurt anyone?" Don't ask if you hurt the horse. A student of Confucius was arrested and imprisoned for something. Confucius did not dislike him, thinking that "although he went to prison, it was not his fault", so he married his daughter.
Confucius also cherished animals. It is said that a dog raised by Confucius died, so Zi Gong buried it. He said to Zigong, "I heard that you should not throw away broken curtains to bury horses;" Don't throw away the broken car cover to bury the dog. I don't even have a hood. You can cover the dog with my broken cushion and don't let it show its head! "
Confucius likes making friends very much. He cherishes the feelings of his friends, and even people with different styles refuse to break up easily. This is his relationship with hala. Yuanrang was a native of Lu and a friend of Confucius in his early years. He is bohemian and informal, and his ideological style is quite different from that of Confucius. But Confucius got along well with him and kept close contact with him until he was old. Confucius gives the impression of modesty, but he resolutely does what he thinks should be done and perseveres. He said: "It is not courage to see what should be done morally but not to do it." He also put forward the idea of "being a teacher".
2. Cai Yuanpei: Call the freshmen "Mr.".
19 16 winter, Mr. Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University. At that time, the transportation was very simple, and you had to take a carriage when you took office. When Mr. Cai got out of the carriage, he saw the school gate, and many people greeted him in the alley. It turns out that this is the school rule, and the workers must welcome them according to etiquette. The entourage said to Mr. Cai, "Please." As he walked forward, Mr. Cai Yuanpei took off his hat and greeted the workers who welcomed him on both sides, and nodded happily to thank them. He kept saying: "Thank you, everyone has worked hard!" The workers were very moved to see this scene, and they all praised: "Mr. Cai is really an approachable good man!" " If this happened today, of course, there is nothing to promote. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, the feudal monarchy was overthrown, and Mr. Cai Yuanpei abandoned the bad customs and habits of the old officialdom and was courteous to ordinary people. This courtesy to Shu Ren is admirable.
At that time, a student named Ma was admitted to the long-awaited Peking University. On the day of registration, the sky was clear and the climate was pleasant. The horse walked quickly into the school gate of Peking University. I didn't expect to see a notice as soon as I entered the gate: all freshmen who come to the school newspaper must submit a guarantee signed and sealed by the current Beijing (Beiping) official before they can register.
After the horse read the announcement, his joy vanished, and a feeling of being fooled suddenly welled up in his heart. He angrily wrote a letter to President Cai Yuanpei. The letter wrote: "I came from afar to breathe the air of democracy and cultivate the spirit of independence and self-esteem. I didn't expect to be forced to kowtow to smelly bureaucrats for mercy before I entered school, which made me quite disappointed. I firmly stated that if I must pay the deposit, I will resolutely drop out of school. " The speech inevitably reveals dissatisfaction with the school headed by Mr. Cai Yuanpei. After the letter was sent, Ma didn't have much hope. After all, he is a famous headmaster in China, and he is just a little-known freshman. What good results can he have? Just to save my self-esteem and vent my resentment. Therefore, the horse began to pack up and prepare to pursue his new future.
Who would have thought that a few days later, Ma suddenly received a letter, and he couldn't guess who wrote it to himself for a long time. When he opened it, he saw that it said "Mr. Yuan Cai" (that is, Mr. Ma) at the beginning, and hurriedly looked at the signature below. It was actually the handwriting of President Cai Yuanpei: "Brother Yuan Cai is sincere." The horse was almost breathless with excitement and calmed down. Before deciding, if Mr. Wang thinks I can personally guarantee it, please go to the principal's office and ask the secretary-general to sign and seal on his behalf. "
The letter shows that although Mr. Cai Yuanpei is the head of a school, he has never been assertive and arbitrary. Instead, he earnestly abides by the rules and regulations of the school and respects the decisions made by professors and professors' meetings, although he himself does not agree with the practice of handing in letters of guarantee. Between the lines, Mr. Cai Yuanpei's sincere feelings for students are also revealed. After reading the letter, Ma was very upset: President Cai Yuanpei was so busy and treated him with courtesy, which was unforgettable and unforgettable. Later, Mr. Ma Zhaobei wrote in his memoirs: "This incident has deeply affected my life." .
3. Tao Xingzhi: Be a camel.
A child's mother gave the child a good beating and told the child's teacher about it because she fiddled with a gold watch that she had just bought home as a fresh toy. Unexpectedly, the teacher said humorously, "I'm afraid an Edison in China was shot by you." Mother doesn't understand what this means. The teacher analyzed it and said to her, "This behavior of children is a manifestation of creativity. You shouldn't hit children. You should free your child's hands and give him a chance to start working at an early age. "
"What should I do now?" Mother listened to the teacher and regretted her behavior.
"There are remedies." The teacher went on to say, "You can take the children to the watch shop and let them stand by and see how the watchmaker can fix it." In this way, watch shops become classrooms, clockmakers become teachers, your children become students, the cost of repairing watches becomes tuition fees, and your children's curiosity can be satisfied. Maybe he can learn to repair it! "
The teacher in this story is Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator in China.
Enter the reflection room by yourself. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, in the early days of founding Nanjing Xiaozhuang School, made a rule that all teachers, students and employees were not allowed to drink alcohol, and offenders should go into the introspection room to reflect.
Once, farmers in Xiaozhuang invited President Tao to dinner, and the farmers offered him a glass of wine. Tao Xingzhi repeatedly explained that he could not drink, but the farmers insisted: "If you don't drink, you will look down on us farmers. If you look down on us, you won't be our friend. "
Tao Xingzhi had no choice but to drink the wine. The farmers are very happy and regard President Tao as their friend. Where did they know that? As soon as Tao Xingzhi returned to school, he immediately went into the introspection room.
I am willing to be a camel for the suffering children. 194 1 year, Tao Xingzhi showed revolutionary heroism under extreme difficulties and severe persecution. In the shadow of the anti-* *, prices have skyrocketed, and the expenses of Yucai schools have been extremely difficult, and there are often worries about food shortage. He even sent out the feeling that "I want to race against the rice price" now. Chen Lifu, Minister of Education of the Kuomintang government, took the opportunity to propose to him that if he agreed to send a subject director, he could allocate all the funds, but Tao Xingzhi flatly refused. At the most difficult moment of the economy, Tao Xingzhi had no choice but to announce that the whole school would tighten its belts and eat two meals a day. He even proposed to tide over the difficulties with the spirit of "learning" like Wu Xun. 1On September 25th, 944, when Tao Xingzhi wrote an inscription for the portrait of Wu Xun painted by the painter Shen Shuyang, he wrote affectionately: "I would like to be a camel for the suffering children; It is good for people, and cattle and horses do it. "
Tao Xingzhi scrimped and saved, and gave all his donations to the children. I often wear my clothes and run around in front of rich adults and wives. When he came back from England, he bought a rain coat. It was dirty and worn for a long time, so he turned it over and put it on. Once I went to see a rich man, and the informant said, "I'm sorry, sir, but our host never receives people dressed like this." Please go back. " Tao Xingzhi took his time, took out a business card and handed it to him, so the man had to respectfully send it in.
In Xiaozhuang Normal University, Tao Xingzhi wears straw sandals and carries dung, and works with everyone to plant land, vegetables and fish. He invited Tang Laotou, an excellent cultivator in Tangjiawa, to teach everyone how to cultivate, and he himself became a student of Tang Laotou. He said, 360 lines, each line is the best, and each line has our teacher. At that time, everyone swept the floor, wiped the table and cooked by themselves? Everything in life does not need to be a page or a chef, and Tao Xingzhi is also personally involved.
