What kind of feelings does teacher Han Yu's theory bring to us?

On Teachers is a short essay on the important role of teachers, the necessity of learning from teachers and the principles of choosing teachers. This paper criticizes the wrong idea that "scholar-officials" were ashamed to learn from teachers at that time, and advocates learning from teachers. At the same time, it is also a public reply and solemn refutation to those detractors.

Han Yu's Theory of Teachers puts forward the necessity of learning from teachers and the criteria for selecting teachers. This is often used as a warning for future generations to learn from. Among them, the existence of Tao and the existence of a teacher's word are extremely precious.

The existence of Tao and the existence of teachers means that whoever understands the truth is a teacher, that is, we should take capable people as teachers. In our daily life, we meet many people every day. Everyone has his strong points, and their strong points are worth learning. No matter how old children are or illiterate old ladies, as long as they know what we don't know and what we need, they should be ashamed to ask questions with an open mind. To really do this, we must first put down our airs, be modest and sincerely ask others. Don't envy others because they are better than you, and don't want to ask him for advice; We must not despise others because they are not as good as ourselves.

At all times and in all countries, there are many people with lofty ideals who learn from teachers with an open mind and have made great achievements. Bai Juyi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty in China, always took his poems to his neighbor's old woman and asked her what she didn't understand and needed to be revised. Darwin, a comprehensive biologist, visited various places by beagle and invited local farmers to inquire about the topography and biological characteristics of each place in detail.

Think about it, if Bai Juyi didn't want to ask the old woman for advice, how could he write so many well-known poems? If Darwin didn't want to ask farmers, how could he finish the Origin of Species and put forward the theory of biological evolution?

It is important to learn from others with an open mind, but while learning from others, we also need to realize their shortcomings, learn from their good aspects and take their bad aspects as a warning. Just as Mr. Lu Xun said in "Takeism", we should open our eyes and use our brains, take it ourselves, take its essence and discard its dross.

Friends, let's learn from people who are capable. Let's continue to carry forward the tradition of China, learn from others and make up for our own shortcomings.
