Physical exercise and labor education can enhance students' mental and physical qualities. Chinese sons and daughters have always had a fine tradition of diligence and thrift and advocating labor. However, since the beginning of the new century, with the improvement of living standards and the increase of academic pressure, parents who are eager for success pay more attention to their children's studies, and many simple housework that should have been done by their children are also taken over by their parents, resulting in the phenomenon that young students are not diligent, do not divide food, despise labor and cannot work. Due to the lack of close contact with nature and basic labor and physical exercise, the overall physical and mental quality of young students is declining. Many students prefer to stay at home and dormitory rather than communicate with society and others, which affects the healthy growth of young students. Nanjing Vocational College of Science and Technology has carried out labor education for more than ten years. Students are grouped by class. Students wear green vests printed with "I am responsible for my area" and are responsible for carrying out specific tasks such as sanitation, lawn mowing and order maintenance, thus cultivating students' sunny mentality and healthy physique.

Educate people through labor, and labor education can cultivate students' labor attitudes and concepts. Through labor, students are likely to be interested in labor and technology, and can stimulate great enthusiasm and strength. The talent training goal of higher vocational education determines that higher vocational graduates should first have a skill, so that they can do both. There is no shortcut to a skill, except to follow the "10,000-hour theorem" for deliberate training. Nanjing Vocational College of Science and Technology integrates labor conditions and attitudes into the talent training assessment system, labor education into the curriculum system, compiles labor education textbooks, and allocates credits for special courses. At the same time, the school has formulated a number of systems such as labor mobility, labor standards, and labor inspection, and incorporated labor education and 10 hour voluntary labor into the assessment system. Systematic labor education has formed a good atmosphere of advocating and respecting labor in the whole school. Through labor education, students have enhanced their self-confidence and pride as laborers who are beneficial to society and the country, tried to practice their outlook on life and values of realizing their dreams with their hands and creating value with labor, and served the country and society through hard and honest personal labor in exchange for a clean environment, qualified products and enthusiastic services.

Labor education is determined by hard work, which can temper students' concentration and strong will. Higher vocational colleges are training great country craftsmen in the future. Craftsman spirit is a professional spirit of dedication, lean and concentration, and it is a comprehensive embodiment of professional ethics, professional ability and professional quality. Dedication is a serious and responsible professional spirit state produced by awe and love for the profession. Excellence means that workers focus on every product and every process, strive for perfection and pursue the ultimate professional quality. Concentration is a patient, persistent and persistent spirit with inherent determination and attention to detail. Labor education can intuitively feel that no pains, no gains, no best, only a better sense of quality. Nanjing Vocational College of Science and Technology integrates the sense of responsibility and brand into students' blood through labor education, based on honest labor, and promotes students to develop the sense of responsibility and establish the concept of quality. After the tempering of thoughts and behaviors, it is beneficial for students to form the concept of being responsible for work, family and society, and become responsible college students in the new era.

By promoting innovation through labor, labor can cultivate students' innovative consciousness and ability. Innovation is the pursuit of breakthrough and innovation and the first driving force for development. Throughout the ages, craftsmen who are keen on innovation and invention have always been an important driving force for scientific and technological progress in the world. For example, plows, keel waterwheels and water mills since the Han and Tang Dynasties; For example, Lu Ban, the founder of carpentry, invented umbrellas, saws, rulers and Mo Dou in his labor; Li Chun, a bridge expert, built the world-famous open-shouldered arch Zhao Zhouqiao, which was more than 600 years earlier than that in the west and has been stable for 1400 years. For example, Xu Liping, the "micro-carving of gunpowder" and Gu, the "Erlong", and many other great country craftsmen helped the Chinese nation explore the moon and dragon the deep sea for nine days. Through labor education, Nanjing Vocational College of Science and Technology subtly cultivates students' innovative spirit and entrepreneurial enthusiasm for improving labor tools, optimizing labor organization and applying new technologies in other fields.
