This is not because he served as vice minister of education and vice chairman of People's Republic of China (PRC) CPPCC, and his position is very high, and it is not only because we have read his works in textbooks.
His greatness is embodied in his personality and his educational philosophy.
When you are absent-minded or playful in class and can't answer the teacher's questions, you will naturally be called by the teacher and punished. If Ye Shengtao were still alive and witnessed it, he would definitely point out that the penalty station is correct and necessary, but it is not for students, but for teachers.
Because Ye Shengtao said that a teacher can be a teacher only if he is a student, and the purpose of education is to educate rather than punish. This sentence is very clear. If a teacher wants to punish his students, he must punish them first. It is the teacher's responsibility not to educate students well.
Ye Shengtao's first job was as a teacher. He has been diligent in teaching and educating people for ten years and accumulated valuable experience in teaching methods. He loves literature. After leaving his post as a teacher, he joined the trendy club and participated in the establishment of the Literature Research Association.
During this period, he wrote the famous fairy tale Scarecrow. This book shows the miserable life of the oppressed workers at the bottom of society at that time, and the atmosphere is sad and depressing. It can be seen that Ye Shengtao's pace of worrying about the country and the people is extraordinary.
After liberation, he devoted himself to education and gave great affirmation to the compilation of Chinese textbooks. When he chose Zhu Ziqing's "Back" as his textbook, he said that the article was too clean and there was no nonsense.
As a gatekeeper to cultivate the future of the motherland, Ye Lao is conscientious in literature and education. The academic circles call him an excellent language artist and a master of Chinese education.
A few years ago, I heard from Mr. Lv Shuxiang that when he was in Shanghai, one day he came to Mr. Ye's house and saw Mr. Ye working at his desk. Take a closer look at the punctuation marks in one of his articles. This time, he was educated. From then on, the punctuation of writing articles must be clear, and he dare not be hasty.
It is enough to show his seriousness and persistence in his work. Master Chinese talks more and talks less, and extracts Ye Shengtao's views on Chinese learning in Art. He said that the starting point of Chinese learning is knowing, and the ultimate point is being good at it, but only when you can do it can you be able to live this life. It is something that everyone who studies Chinese should remember.
Ye Shengtao perfectly interprets the educational concept of unity of knowledge and action, and solves the problem of transition between knowledge and action. Ye Shengtao's advanced educational concept is also reflected in his own family education. His son Ye Zhishan was very playful when he was young, and Ye Shengtao gave him a relaxed education. He never asked his son to read 100% books, which is different from his father forcing him to read the four books and the five classics. Ye Shengtao never puts pressure on which school children should go to.
In his view, whether his son can face the society, and how his practical ability to work and live in society is his greatest concern. Therefore, Ye Zhishan thrived in a relatively relaxed environment, and he inherited free, democratic and scientific educational methods.
Ye Zhishan is an excellent children and popular science writer. 1945 entered Kaiming Bookstore and became an enlightened young editor. He carefully studies children's hobbies and tries to figure out their psychology. Some grounded articles, lively and simple words and exciting plots quickly attracted a large number of followers.
Looking at Ye Shengtao's educational thought, we can see that his educational thought is to cultivate reading habits, writing skills and appreciation ability. At the same time, he stressed that teaching methods do not mean that teachers impart ready-made knowledge to students.
Instead, we should give students ways to learn, inspire their initiative, guide them to think independently, apply what they have learned and benefit them for life.
