Respecting teachers and attaching importance to education is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation from another aspect. Respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality means respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching. This idiom first appeared in the Biography of Confucius in the later Han Dynasty: "When you know the king of Ming Dynasty, you should respect the teacher and emphasize the Tao."

As the old saying goes, "If a country wants to prosper, it must pay attention to its teacher", "A teacher is a teacher", "A teacher for a day, a father for life", "A man has three statues, and his father is a teacher" and so on. This fully embodies the moral concept of "respecting teachers and attaching importance to education" of the Chinese nation. There are many stories handed down from ancient times. For example, Zi Gong respected his teacher, Zhao Wei respected his teacher, Li Shimin taught his son to respect his teacher, Sean studied with him, Lu Dian searched for a teacher for thousands of miles, Cheng Menxue Pear and so on.

Emphasis on Taoism is an important feature of China traditional culture. Traditionally, China's knowledge is divided into three levels: Tao, Jing and Shu. "Tao" is the highest learning. "Jing" is an elaboration of "Tao". "Shu" is a means and method to practice "Tao". All schools of thought in ancient times regarded Tao as the greatest learning and the ultimate goal. Confucius said, "Listen in the morning and die at night." .

Tao, in classical culture, refers to the laws of the universe, the truth of the world and people's conscience. Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty praised it as "natural justice", which is the heart of distinguishing right from wrong, good from evil. It means that people should respect teachers and emphasize Tao, but pay more attention to Tao. Closer to Aristotle's sentence: I love my teacher, and I love truth more.

Han Yu said in "Teacher's Theory": "Teacher, so preach and teach!" Han Yu put preaching first, which means that in China's ancient education, preaching was the foundation, the importance and the priority, which was higher than teaching to solve doubts.

The China Municipal Government has decided to take 10 as Teacher's Day every September from 1985. The National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed the Teacher Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which came into effect on 1 994 65438+1October1day, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and improve their treatment and social status.
