The essence of teacher morality: to fulfill the principle of the center

The essence of teacher ethics and traditional culture advocate morality is the same lineage, deep and pure Chinese traditional morality is the core of the construction of teacher ethics.

The Analects.

The Analects of Confucius, in which Confucius said, "The virtue of the middle ground is also the virtue of the middle ground, and it has gone far enough." The virtue of mediocrity is the high point of morality. Zi Si "worried about the loss of its transmission of Taoism" and made the "mediocrity". Zhu Xi, the first of the Taoist doctrine, with the "Yunchangzhong" as the true transmission of the Taoist doctrine.

To "in" for "body", "to" for "use" of the "mediocrity", is the fundamental criterion and the highest state of virtue The most important thing to remember is that it's the most important thing you can do.

The middle is also the right. As a moral category of "middle", insisting on the right path, not evil, not biased, not self-interest, is the most fundamental, the most core value orientation. The virtue of mediocrity, in short, is the righteousness and impartiality of the straight path, and "choosing the good and sticking to it" is the essential characteristic of mediocrity. Confucius praised Yan Hui: "He is a man who chooses the middle ground, and when he gets a good thing, he will obey it with all his fists and never lose it." (The way Yan Hui conducts himself is a very important part of his life, and the way he conducts himself is a very important part of the way he conducts himself. (Yan Hui's way of being a man is that he chooses to practise the middle way, and every time he learns something useful from it, he keeps it firmly in his mind, develops it into his own good character, and never loses it.) To choose the middle way is to choose the good way and justice.

The virtue of Zhongyong is mainly embodied in benevolence and love, diligence and prudence, respect for propriety and righteousness, stopping evils and preventing seclusion, being sincere and removing falsehoods, and being obedient to emotions, that is to say, to follow the righteousness of the world, to uphold the sincerity of benevolence and love, and to safeguard the uprightness of morality and righteousness.

The middle ground can not be limited to the method of dealing with things, not mastering the benefits of such a simple matter of proportion, not just impartiality, no faults, "the world's right reason" is the core, "choose the good and stubborn" is the pursuit of its value. Mediocrity is the philosophy of action, which is attributed to benevolence, harmony and propriety, and cut in the middle.

Zi Si praised the virtue of the middle ground as "developing all things and being steeped in the sky", and encouraged the gentleman to "honor virtue and study, to be broad and subtle, and to be brilliant and mediocre". The most valuable thing about the virtue of the middle ground is that it is the devout obedience and persistence to the righteousness of the world, the righteousness of the world, the righteousness of the world, the righteousness of the society, and it is carried out in the cultivation of the peace and the rule of the people, and it is carried out in the ordinary daily use.

"Zhongyong" says: "Zhongyong is also the great foundation of the world; Heyong is also the great way of the world. To the center and, the status of heaven, all things are nurtured." This means that the virtue of Zhongyong has universality and supremacy, and it governs the sky and the earth, the nurturing of all things, and the prosperity of the world. When neutrality is achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper place, and all things develop and grow. The virtue of mediocrity is also a worldview.

However, "the road is not far from people", the virtue of mediocrity must be from the immediate present that is in the concrete things to do. The spirit of "the high and the middle way" is to advocate the spirit of transcendence, to do the ordinary things in the daily life. With the generation and accumulation of a series of positive values and meanings in the course of one's ordinary life, and with one's own internal realization and motivation of the self-worth of the meaning that is constantly generated, even a mediocre life can be constructed to build a world of meaning in the spiritual realm.

The middle way is the way of heaven and earth, the way of life, the way of the heart, the way of doing things. As a teacher, the virtue of the middle way is the core of the teacher's morality, and its incomparable dedication to the pursuit of spirituality, rigorous and realistic attitude to learning, serious and responsible teaching behavior, strict discipline of personal style, decent and dignified professional image, is a concrete embodiment of the moral character of the teacher.
