The Significance and Value of China's Traditional Teachers' Ethics

The significance and value of China's traditional teachers' morality is a precious legacy of moral civilization. It is of great significance to eliminate its dross and critically inherit its essence for the construction of contemporary teachers' morality.

"Every way to learn, teacher yan is difficult. Teacher Yan respected the Tao, and the Tao respected the people and respected learning. Therefore, the place where you are not a minister is the second: when you are a corpse, you are a minister; When it is a teacher. Then, I also. The gift of a college student, although the emperor has no north, respects the teacher. "

In education, the most difficult thing is to respect teachers and attach importance to morality. Only by respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality can we attach importance to morality, and only by attaching importance to morality can we create a fashion of attaching importance to education throughout the country. Therefore, in two cases, a gentleman does not treat his officials with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister: one is when he is a sacrificial victim in ancestor worship, and the other is when he is a teacher. According to the rules of university students, when a teacher gives a lecture to the emperor or asks the right questions, he is not bound by the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, which shows that the emperor also respects the teacher.

University teachers give lectures or ask questions to the emperor, which is called "imperial decree". On this occasion, the son of heaven is not facing the south, but the east, and the teacher is not facing the north, but facing the west, that is, he is not treated with the usual courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

The teaching process is the process of teachers imparting knowledge and students mastering knowledge, the interactive process of dialectical unity of these two aspects, and the dialectical unity of teaching and learning. From the teacher's point of view, the process of teaching is also the process of learning, and teaching is learning. Teaching and learning promote each other and improve the teaching level. For students, students get knowledge from teachers' teaching, but they still need their own efforts to improve, and they can't be limited to what teachers say. Teaching benefits from learning, and learning progresses day by day because of teaching.
