1. The importance of strengthening teachers' humanities and social sciences literacy

Since teachers are generally recognized as people who preach, teach and dispel doubts, it is far from enough to have noble professional ethics. You should also have the corresponding professional quality, not only be proficient in the professional knowledge of the subjects you teach, but also fully grasp the internal relations between all kinds of knowledge, understand the development trends and latest research results of the disciplines, and have certain scientific research capabilities. In teaching, we should pay attention to the constant reform and adjustment of teaching methods, and not stay in books. Teachers should have the ability to think independently, understand the way of thinking of different disciplines, have scientific spirit and improve humanistic quality. Although the teaching reform and educational ideas in schools all over China have been in full swing, the uneven development of regional economic education, uneven basic quality of teachers, outdated teaching methods, lagging knowledge update, ignoring the experience of "process and method" and diluting the subtle phenomenon of "emotional attitude and values" all restrict the development of modern education. The progress of the times puts forward higher requirements for teachers' humanistic quality. This forces teachers to master a lot of professional knowledge in this subject, but also to have a wide range of cultural literacy and comprehensive quality.
