Ancient Academy Spirit and Its Contemporary Value

The spirit of ancient academy and its contemporary value are as follows:

Academy is a unique cultural and educational institution in the history of China, which has played an important role in the development and inheritance of China culture. It has been widely transplanted and imitated in Japan, South Korea and other countries, and has become a window and an important symbol of China culture.

The connotation of traditional academy culture is quite rich, which can be interpreted from four aspects: spirit, material, system and behavior, absorbing its reasonable components, and providing reference and enlightenment for the reform and development of contemporary education.

The spiritual culture of the academy mainly includes the school-running purpose and educational concept of the academy. The ancient academy was established to make up for the disadvantages of official learning. In the long-term process of running a school, they have formed the school purposes of "preaching in Ming Dow", "promoting academics" and "moral education as the foundation and self-cultivation as the key"; Worry about the country and the people, be brave and serve the country. "

Zhu, a great scholar, once said, "I stole the views of the sages and taught people to learn. Is it possible for them to explain their own righteousness, so as to cultivate their own bodies, and then push them to others, not just to remember their affairs and make comments, but to gain fame and gain benefits? " In a word, the spiritual culture of the academy is the perfect unity of knowledge pursuit and value concern.

Therefore, at present, universities may wish to learn from the spiritual culture of traditional academies, adhere to the concept of putting moral education first, put moral education in an extremely important position ideologically, and pursue the perfection of students' personality while paying attention to knowledge.
