Keywords traditional culture; higher vocational colleges and universities; humanistic quality

With the abundance of material life in the society, modern people fall into the quagmire of the cult of commodity, and the human character and personality are gradually lost, and the spiritual realm is also gradually reduced. Strengthening the education of humanistic quality has now become a hot topic in education. Aiming at the weak links in education reform and ideological education, we provide a new perspective for the cultivation of humanistic quality by fully exploring the connotation of traditional Chinese culture.

The Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Educational Reform and Development Plan further emphasizes the importance of strengthening the education of the Chinese nation's outstanding cultural traditions to enhance the education of students' cultural quality. Mr. Yang Shuzi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and educator, once said, "Without advanced science and technology, we will be defeated in a fight; without humanistic spirit and national tradition, a country and a nation will be defeated without a fight."

I, the connotation of humanistic quality

Humanities, the earliest from the Latin, that is, Humanita, refers to human nature, upbringing. In our country, the word "humanities" was first seen in the "I Ching", "Zhouyi. Ben Gua", said: "rigid and flexible, astronomy, civilization, humanities, astronomy, in order to observe the changes in time, the humanities, in order to become the world." The concept of "humanism" is clearly stated, with "astronomy" referring to the principles of nature and "humanism" to the principles of human nature, that is, human nature and education. The connotation of humanistic quality is discussed from different angles and levels. Humanistic quality is a comprehensive social and cultural ability with culture as the background and people as the main body, inherent and essential. Humanistic quality is a comprehensive expression of one's external mental style and internal spirituality, and also a comprehensive embodiment of the degree of civilization of a modern person. Therefore, the education of humanistic quality has practical significance and strategic significance in contemporary times.

Two, the necessity of strengthening humanistic quality in higher vocational colleges and universities

(a) Ideological education is not profound

Under the environment of market economy, the value system and ideal belief of college students have been challenged and impacted like never before, and college students of higher vocational colleges and universities are more emotional in their ideological understanding, not deep enough, and think about the problem in a simpler way, and the students are not sufficient in their cultural heritage, lack of a human being to do the academic Students have insufficient cultural heritage and lack the ability to be a man of honor and learning, as well as the ability to resist all kinds of erroneous thoughts and cultures. In addition, the college students do not pay attention to personal appearance, communication skills, casual behavior.

(2) Lack of excavation of diversified values

The cultivation of students in higher vocational colleges pays too much attention to the learning and mastering of technology, lacks the excavation of diversified values, and neglects the cultivation of students' humanistic spirit, which leads to the weakness of students' humanistic spirit. Therefore, we must clearly recognize that students in the university education period is to construct the humanistic spirit of benevolence and righteousness to help the world, dedication and pleasure, and the pursuit of self-improvement, in order to lay a good spiritual and cultural foundation for their future to society, and to assume social responsibility.

(3) ideological education

Biased on professional knowledge and technology, ignoring the humanities knowledge learning, too much emphasis on the transmission of knowledge, technology, skills, ignoring the cultivation of students' attitudes towards life, emotions, ideological virtues, values and other humanistic spirit. The relatively narrow scope of professional settings, ignoring the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability and quality, so that the students' knowledge structure is based on a single foundation, and it is difficult to meet the needs of compound, comprehensive and innovative talents required by the society. Too much emphasis on social value, ignoring individual value, it is difficult to mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of students to learn.

(D) the requirements of teaching reform and development

Developed by the Ministry of Education, approved by the State Council, "revitalization of education for the 21st century action plan", pointing out that the implementation of quality education, is the overall goal of the reform of China's education system for the 21st century.

The Ministry of Education in the "Several Opinions on Strengthening the Cultural Quality Education of College Students" clarifies the significance of strengthening the cultural quality education, clarifies the positioning and connotation of the cultural quality education, and points out that at present the work of strengthening the cultural quality education "focuses on the education of humanistic quality" and "improving the cultural taste of all the students". Improve the cultural taste, aesthetic appeal, humanistic qualities and scientific qualities of all students."

Therefore, the current cultural quality education we emphasize focuses on strengthening humanistic quality education. Its core is always how to be a human being, including the pursuit of the value of life, the meaning of life, and the search for a harmonious relationship between man and nature, man and society, and man and man.

Three, give full play to the function of traditional culture to promote the cultivation of humanistic quality of students in higher vocational colleges and universities

(a) Combination of inside and outside the classroom, enriching the curriculum and education system

Higher vocational colleges and universities, if they want to implement quality education, broaden the basic courses, refine the professional courses, and expand the scope of elective courses through liberal arts education. Through the updating of teaching content and the adjustment of the curriculum system, we can realize the synthesis of the curriculum and make use of local traditional culture to improve the humanistic quality of students in higher vocational colleges and universities.

Traditional culture not only exists widely in social life, but also historical and cultural monuments are carriers of traditional culture, which vividly record the trajectory of the evolution of Chinese civilization. Students learn the profoundness of traditional culture through class activities, club activities, visiting cultural monuments and paying attention to intangible cultural heritage. The educational function of local culture is brought into full play, and through observation and study, humanistic qualities are constantly improved.

(2) improve the quality of teachers, play the role of role model and demonstration

With love and dedication, dedication to the spirit and noble character of the university teachers, their cultural literacy to a certain extent affects the students' behavior, the future development of their lives to grow and become a far-reaching impact. Therefore, to improve the humanistic quality of teachers in higher vocational colleges and universities themselves is a necessary prerequisite for the penetration of humanistic education in professional teaching, is the fundamental basis for improving the humanistic quality of college students, and improve the cultural taste of the whole school.

(3) Strict assessment, widely carry out traditional classic reading

The reason for the weak humanistic quality of students in higher vocational colleges and universities lies in the fact that they read less, have poor study habits, and spend very little time on reading after school, and the main types of books they read are romance novels, etc., and the traditional classics are involved in very few works. Higher vocational colleges and universities can promote classical reading and disseminate the essence of culture through strict assessment requirements, or by discussing hot issues to improve the humanistic quality of students.

(4) Strengthen campus culture construction, create a strong campus humanistic atmosphere

Strengthen campus culture construction, so that students in the upward, civilized, full of humanistic campus cultural life, heartfelt love for the motherland's culture, to establish self-esteem and self-confidence in traditional Chinese culture. We mobilize students' interest in the humanities by organizing calligraphy, debates, speeches, singing and drama; we create an academic atmosphere and strengthen the cultural environment by organizing a series of lectures in the humanities and social sciences.

(E) Strengthening the shaping of students' manners through traditional culture

Etiquette is a kind of behavior in daily life, an attitude of treating people in the world, and an embodiment of quality connotation. Through the study, students will know the etiquette in different occasions, learn the etiquette norms about daily clothing, food, housing, transportation, treating people and other aspects, and show high humanistic qualities in their speech and behavior, so as to achieve the perfect combination of inner cultural cultivation and outer etiquette.

Traditional Chinese culture contains rich humanistic educational resources, using traditional Chinese culture to guide, cultivate to become civilized, polite and law-abiding good citizens, shaping students' civilized etiquette habits, cultivate interpersonal skills and the pursuit of aesthetic interests, cultivate the individual's comprehensive ability in the subtle and constantly strengthened to achieve the perfect unity of the social value and the value of the individual, so as to further enhance the humanistic quality of students in higher vocational colleges and universities, and to achieve a perfect combination of internal cultural cultivation and external etiquette. Enhance the humanistic quality and humanistic spirit of students in higher vocational colleges and universities.
