What kind of course is conference organization?

Every nation has its own traditions, which cannot be completely separated. Traditional culture generally has the basic characteristics of nationality, times, inheritance and continuity. The Chinese nation has a long history and splendid culture. China's traditional culture is profound and has a long history. This is the spiritual pillar of the prosperity of the Chinese nation. Of course, China's traditional culture is an ethical culture rooted in the agricultural economic soil of China's feudal society, with Confucianism as the core and various ideological and cultural contents organically linked. Essentially, it is the product of the old agricultural civilization, and there are indeed many dross; However, after all, it is the endless carrier of civilization of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, recording the trajectory of the national course and condensing the wisdom of China people from generation to generation, so it must contain the essence. What is the essence and what is the dross? Different times will have different understandings and judgments, and cognition will deepen and sublimate with the development of the times. What's more, China's traditional culture is extremely rich in content, and some of it is difficult to summarize with essence and dross. "Good use" is "essence" and "bad use" is "dross". Absorbing traditional culture has not only emotional and methodological problems, but also subjective cognition and value orientation. Since the May 4th Movement, we have criticized traditional culture and made great contributions to eliminating its dross. However, criticism, denial, lack of recognition and absorption, and dumping dirty water with children made us beg for food with golden pots (even a cultural desert was formed during the Cultural Revolution), which failed to fully explore the essence and glory of traditional culture and give full play to this precious spiritual wealth.

Marxism does not completely exclude "tradition". Marx once said: "People create their own history, but not at will, not under the conditions of their own choice, but under the conditions of their direct encounter and inheritance of the past." Lenin also said: "Only by correctly understanding the culture created by all human development processes and transforming this culture can we build proletarian culture." Mao Zedong once pointed out clearly: "Our nation has a history of thousands of years, with its own characteristics and many precious products". "From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, we should summarize and inherit this precious heritage." He said, "We should clean up the development process of ancient culture, eliminate feudal dross and absorb its democratic essence, so as to develop national culture and improve national self-confidence." Therefore, he advocated that China's traditional culture should be "endowed with treasure" and "completely enriched with phosphorus" in order to achieve the purpose of "selecting its essence and using its strengths". Deng Xiaoping believes that every traditional society has the possibility of developing modernization, and it should be the general law of modernization to seek modern cultural support system from traditional culture. He advocated "learning", "absorbing", "melting" and "developing" all the good things in China traditional culture. In his speech celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Production Party, Jiang Zemin clearly pointed out: "To develop socialist culture, we must inherit and carry forward all excellent cultures and fully embody the spirit of the times and creativity." "Our history of thousands of years has left a rich cultural heritage, which we should inherit and develop in combination with the spirit of the times."

1956 The Eighth National Congress of communist party, China put forward: "We must inherit and absorb all beneficial cultural knowledge at home and abroad, and we must use our modern scientific culture to sort out our excellent cultural heritage and strive to create a new culture of the socialist nation." 1986 "The Resolution of the Central Committee on the Guiding Principles for the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization" points out: "We should inherit and carry forward the excellent cultural traditions of the nation, and at the same time resist the residual influence of feudalism." 1997 the 15th national congress proposed to build a socialist spiritual civilization with Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture, based on the reality of China, inherit the excellent traditions of history and culture, and absorb the beneficial achievements of foreign cultures. In 2002, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the power of culture is deeply rooted in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation. Chinese civilization is profound and has a long history, which has made great contributions to the progress of human civilization. We should base ourselves on the practice of reform, opening up and modernization, focus on the forefront of world cultural development, carry forward the fine traditions of national culture, draw on the strengths of all ethnic groups in the world, actively innovate content and form, and constantly enhance the attraction and appeal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture.

With the continuous advancement of China's modernization process and the increasing comprehensive national strength of China, people who have entered a "well-off society" but are not satisfied with continuing to forge ahead and building a "well-off society" in an all-round way, and strive to further improve the well-off level, their "self-contempt" is decreasing and their national pride is increasing. The concept of drawing nutrition from traditional culture and building modern civilization is increasingly recognized by people. People realize that "the modernization process of a nation is not to obliterate its cultural tradition and create a unified world culture, but to continuously inject contemporary content into its cultural tradition according to the new requirements of modernization, so as to achieve the organic unity of cultural nationality and modernity." However, we have not done enough research, identification, elimination, absorption, melting and development of traditional culture. In primary and secondary education, there are not many excellent traditional culture courses, and high school students are divided into classes in arts and sciences, so the traditional cultural literacy of science and engineering students is really not high. Under the rising atmosphere that society begins to pay attention to traditional culture, they have the desire and requirement to learn from traditional culture. A few years ago, some engineering doctoral students in Tongji University became interested in learning traditional culture and spontaneously organized themselves to study ancient classics. They thought they had gained a lot, but soon several people "believed" in Buddhism. This incident touched our liberal arts teachers, especially ideological and theoretical teachers, and made them realize that college students still need some guidance or guidance in learning traditional culture. Over the years, Tongji University has paid attention to humanities education in view of the fact that there are many science and engineering courses in the school. Wu, former president of Tongji University and now vice minister of education, attached great importance to the humanities education of Tongji University during his tenure as president of Tongji University. She agrees with Academician Yang Shuzi's view that "there is no scientific humanity, it is an incomplete humanity, and there is no humanistic science, and it is also an incomplete science", and advocates humanistic quality education for science and engineering students. She believes that "humanistic education is the basis of all quality education and one of the most direct educational contents for cultivating students to learn to be a man and cast lofty personality." Our school has carried out education with improving students' quality as the core, and implemented the training mode of "knowledge, ability and personality". Therefore, the school organizes specialized teachers, offers elective courses in humanistic quality education, regularly holds academic reports or lectures on humanistic quality education, and organizes the compilation of "University Humanities and Social Sciences Series" (edited by Professor Gu Yumin) such as "A Hundred Schools of Thought Contend", "Introduction to Chinese and Foreign Romantic Literature", "Religion and Culture" and "China Cultural History Course".

The "tradition" formed by small-scale production in China has become the sea of Wang Yang. Paying attention to "experience", respecting the old and loving the ancestors, advocating the sages, sticking to conventions and being conservative and backward will hinder the development of new things. Then, will the introduction of traditional culture into the classroom have a negative impact on innovative education?

Jiang Zemin clearly pointed out at the National Science and Technology Conference in May 1995: "Innovation is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity and development". At the 1999 national conference on technological innovation, he once again pointed out: if you can't innovate, it will be difficult for a nation to flourish and stand among the nations of the world. "Comrade Jiang Zemin's Speech at the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC)" particularly emphasized the issue of innovation, pointing out: "Social practice is constantly developing, and so is our ideological understanding. We should be brave and good at innovation according to the requirements of practice." Innovation has become a hot topic. Innovative spirit and innovative consciousness are important contents of a person's internal quality. Without the sense of innovation, there can be no innovative action. Any discovery or invention is inseparable from innovation. Without innovation, no new knowledge will be born. It can be said that innovation is not only a result, but also a process and a spirit. Dare to innovate and be good at innovation are the most basic requirements for progress. Innovative spirit and innovative consciousness belong to the category of humanistic quality, focusing on education and training; Innovative thinking belongs to the category of epistemology, focusing on edification and training. Therefore, Jiang Zemin pointed out at the Third National Education Work Conference: "Education is the main base for knowledge innovation, dissemination and application, and it is also an important cradle for cultivating innovative spirit and innovative talents." Innovation is the source of life of educational activities, which is not only the essential feature of education itself, but also the main task and goal of education. We can't teach all human knowledge to students, but we must cultivate students' innovative spirit and awareness, so that they dare to innovate; Students must be trained in innovative thinking methods, so that they can be good at innovation and improve, develop, invent and create on the basis of absorbing existing knowledge. Of course, it is impossible for innovative education to be "quick" and "skilled", and it is impossible for students to acquire and master innovative thinking methods and cultivate innovative spirit and consciousness by a special course. The education, cultivation and training of innovative spirit, innovative consciousness and innovative thinking should run through the whole education process, which is a subtle education and training process. In this regard, all kinds of courses will make a difference. It is based on this basic consideration that we should try our best to avoid the negative influence of traditional cultural knowledge on students' thoughts when teaching humanistic quality courses. Make great efforts in the selection of content, the cut-in of perspective, the application of teaching methods and skills, select the essence and use good methods to cultivate, cultivate and train students' innovative spirit, innovative consciousness and innovative thinking. In this regard, although we did not deliberately pursue it, we did do it consciously. According to our practice (not limited to the author's personal experience) and ideas (mainly the author's personal experience), we can draw some basic experiences.

1. It is the basic premise of innovation to cultivate a social atmosphere suitable for innovation and develop the habit and ability of thinking, contending and confronting. In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended and a hundred flowers blossomed. Many scholars have made in-depth discussions on the universe, society, life, humanity, politics, economy, education, science, military, ethics, morality, logic and many other fields from their own unique perspectives. They have a strong sense of innovation and create their own ideas and theories with innovative spirit and wisdom beyond the times. At the same time, they had a heated debate. In the contention of a hundred schools of thought, through the sharp confrontation and collision between opposing or different ideas, and the exchange and conflict between similar ideas, understandings and opinions, they constantly enriched and perfected their own thoughts and theories, and finally formed the truth of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, famous scholars, Yin and Yang, strategists, miscellaneous scholars, farmers and Shangshu, which is bound to make people think deeply. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A relaxed political and social environment, a good cultural atmosphere, especially an academic atmosphere in which a hundred schools of thought contend, are extremely important social conditions for a prosperous cultural situation. Throughout the history of human development, according to the characteristics of human thinking, it is not difficult to find that only in communication, competition, confrontation and collision can ideas spark and shine in generate. The lively cultural atmosphere in which a hundred schools of thought contend is a hotbed of active thinking, new thinking and new ideas, and a necessary condition for knowledge innovation, ideological innovation and cultural innovation. The emergence and formation of this social soil is caused by many factors, among which the role of individual subjective factors as social people can not be ignored. As the main body of cultural activities, people must have innovative spirit and innovative consciousness in order to produce innovative thinking. We should have the consciousness, desire and requirement of contending, learn to communicate, dare to confront, learn to think in communication and confrontation, and improve our thinking ability. Dare to doubt and criticize. Through doubt, criticism, communication and confrontation, ask questions, put forward opinions, opinions and opinions, and create your own "theory"; Not only for superiors, not for sages, not for books, not for worshipping foreign countries, not for kitsch, but also for their own "theory". At the same time, he listens to different opinions, is not rigid and stubborn, and is good at absorbing different opinions to improve his "theory".

2. Inheritance and absorption are the basis of innovation. Engels once said that any new theory, although "its root lies in economic facts", "must first proceed from the existing ideological materials". Professor Zhu of Tongji University, the author of A Hundred Schools of Thought contend, also said: "The history of human thought and culture is a developing system. The opinions put forward by predecessors, as an ideological material, have become the starting point of constructing the theory. " In a certain sense, inheritance, reference and absorption are the premise of innovation activities, and innovation is innovation on the basis of inheritance, reference and absorption. Innovation should be based on the existence of "tradition" and objective reality. Only by understanding tradition and grasping reality can we transcend tradition and improve development. Traditional culture is the accumulation of history, forming an undercurrent of social consciousness and infiltrating into the deep social psychology. Its brand cannot be erased, and its influence can be seen everywhere. Only by studying and studying traditional culture and understanding it can we correctly judge and identify it, distinguish its essence from its dross, eliminate its dross and absorb its essence. Moreover, only in this way can we truly understand China, our national character and our social consciousness and psychology. From this, we can know the demand of innovation, determine the goal of innovation and grasp the direction of innovation. Only in this way can traditional cultural knowledge pave the way for "innovation". The subject of architecture in Tongji University is a very long one. Taking architecture as an example, it will be beneficial to understand the thoughts, concepts and styles of China traditional architecture rooted in and blended with traditional culture for developing modern architecture and maintaining national style. For example, in the teaching of An Introduction to Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, we analyzed the absorption and reference of contemporary China producers, represented by Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, the inheritance and development relationship between Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents and excellent traditional culture, and the discussion of Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin on promoting national spirit and its spiritual essence. Through the understanding and analysis of the development process of China's excellent traditional culture and the background, influence and function of various advanced ideological cultures, we can deeply understand the great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance of the proposition of representing the direction of advanced culture, so as to help students establish the concept that inheritance, absorption and reference are for innovation-innovation cannot be separated from inheritance, absorption and reference, thus improving students' interest and consciousness in learning, absorbing and drawing lessons from China's excellent traditional culture.

3. Draw innovative spirit from traditional culture. China's traditional culture has a long history and a clear evolution track. China ancient philosophy, ethics, literature, religion, architecture, art, history, medicine, etc. No matter their thoughts, concepts or specific connotations, they are dynamic and have a process of emergence and evolution. As far as the "three religions" (Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism) and "nine streams" (Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Buddhism, Yin and Yang, vertical and horizontal, miscellaneous and agriculture) which have a great influence on China culture are concerned, especially the "three religions" have developed and evolved with the historical process after they were born or rooted in the social soil of China. For example, Confucianism, after the founding of Confucius, was enriched by his direct disciple Mencius, and then developed by Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty. The connotation of Neo-Confucianism of Cheng (Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi), Zhu (Zhu), Lu (Lu Jiuyuan) and Yang Ming has developed and changed greatly. For another example, after Buddhism was introduced into China, it was once resisted by China culture dominated by Confucianism, but after absorbing China culture and combining it with China culture, that is, "China", it took root and developed greatly, and successively formed Tiantai Sect, Ci 'en Sect, Zen Sect, Pure Land Sect and many other schools. Buddhist culture has a great influence on China culture, especially literature and art. In a word, China traditional culture has a long-term historical accumulation, as well as the development and changes in various periods. After thousands of years of historical vicissitudes, it has been improved and developed. When teaching traditional cultural knowledge, we introduce the development and evolution of various disciplines, analyze the causes of their emergence and development, focus on the important people who founded the disciplines and influenced their development and change, and explore the subjective factors that make them make a difference. From this, we can clearly realize that innovation consciousness is an essential basic quality for a person to create and develop. Life is a long road, and only people with innovative spirit can make a difference. Therefore, students are encouraged to be proactive and strive to cultivate their innovative consciousness and spirit.

4. Cultivate innovative thinking with traditional culture. Innovative thinking is a complex process of thinking activities, and its methods will vary from person to person. But generally speaking, most people will go through such a process: in the process of learning, absorbing and using for reference, they will doubt or be dissatisfied with the known propositions, theories, definitions, theorems, formulas, viewpoints, knowledge and experience, look for reasons and evidence to deny the suspicious things, mobilize all their subjective initiative through divergent thinking activities, be whimsical, innovate ideas and create their own ideas. Creative thinking always leads to discovery, invention, creation and improvement. Or have a sense of known propositions and knowledge, which leads to in-depth thinking, imagination and meditation. After induction and deduction, I comprehensively refined, analogized, sublimated and improved what I felt, thus making it develop greatly. Learning traditional culture must conform to the new spirit of the times. From the perspective of modern civilization, we should analyze traditional culture with new knowledge, new ideas, new ideas and new methods, interpret traditional classics, and make traditional culture work for us. As Mao Zedong said when talking with musicians on August 24th 1956, "Learn from the past to serve the present". When teaching traditional cultural knowledge, it not only guides students to think about some important issues, especially controversial issues, but also organizes various forms of discussion; Moreover, when understanding the original texts of some ancient books, we should give full play to students' subjective initiative, and ask students not to stick to traditional explanations, but to put forward their own opinions, advocate debates and encourage innovation according to the new spirit, new knowledge and new ideas of the times, and according to their own real knowledge, feelings and understanding. This not only enlivens the learning atmosphere, but also helps to train students' innovative thinking, cultivate students' innovative ability and get ideal results. For example, in the interpretation of the Analects of Confucius, "Confucius said: Learn from time to time, right?" Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Ignorance and dissatisfaction are not gentlemen? "In this passage, a student put forward a fresh" viewpoint ". He thinks this passage should be all about "learning", so it should mean: knowledge, knowledge and theory are often applied to practice, how can it be unpleasant? Originally, I was my academic opponent, my opponent. Inspired by my own "knowledge", I fully accepted my knowledge and views and would like to form a (academic) confidant with myself. How can this not be gratifying? I have made great efforts to learn and have a lot of feelings. The world still doesn't understand, understand and accept, but I'm not angry or discouraged. I continued to sit on the cold bench and concentrate on my knowledge. Isn't this also a "gentleman"? He will be great! The student particularly emphasized that "learning" should not be understood as learning, and learning should be used instead of learning, but should be understood as internship and practice; Friends should not be understood as friends. Friends use "friends" instead of "friends". It should be understood as cronies and companions, and the traditional China Party is fighting against differences. If the "opponent" can become a companion, how can it be unhappy? "Distant" does not refer to spatial distance, but refers to spiritual distance and academic distance. There is a great distance between spirituality and academics. I am my own academic "opposition". Now I have turned my head to "get close to" myself and become my "confidant". It is really gratifying. We can't say that the student's explanation of this passage is impeccable, but it is really vivid, which shows that he is active in thinking and uses "innovative thinking". It is really interesting to try to train students' innovative thinking with traditional cultural knowledge. You might as well try.

Using traditional culture to cultivate students' innovative spirit, innovative consciousness and innovative thinking has just started, and further practice and discussion are needed. If we do it in a down-to-earth manner, we will certainly achieve better results.
