Reading classics education is an educational model based on two characteristics of human nature and three principles of education. Whether in the East or the West, reading classics has been the main axis of basic education, whether consciously or unconsciously. In the past century, due to the influence of pragmatism, this reasonable education has been gradually forgotten by the West, the East and China. Twenty years ago, we were alert to the disadvantages of the present era and the scarcity of talents. In fact, because education deviates from human nature, we consciously re-advocate the education of reading classics, construct the theory of reading classics, and carry out the practice of reading classics. In the educational opportunities, children are the main ones, from the fetus to the baby, to the young and the old. In terms of educational content, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and western classics (a subset of classics) are adopted simultaneously; In the method of education, it is to satirize and store wine repeatedly first, and then interpret and talk about cohesion behavior; In teaching practice, there are places such as family, community, school and private school. , either amateur, full-time, or a small number, or a large number. After twenty years of practice, it has been proved that simplicity and effectiveness are a good way to improve the cultural education of the whole people and cultivate talents who can communicate with China and the West.
Although this is an era in which people are not encouraged to read classics, education has its own characteristics, which should be rooted in the consistent human nature of ancient and modern times and persist in the changes of the world, so as to reflect on the times and improve them. If the education of reading classics conforms to human nature and educational principles, it is universal and eternal, which all educators should deeply understand and practice.
I want to take this opportunity to promote classic reading for 20 years. The 4th International Forum on Classic Education Reading was held in Taichung University of Education. I would like to unite scholars and experts to appeal to all friends in the government and the public who care about humanities, culture and education to read classics by themselves, or to drive families to read classics, or to drive social countries to read classics; Not only in private enterprises, but also hope to return to the system; Not only in China, but also hope to spread to the whole world.
Reading classics is the foundation of all education, which does not conflict with any education, but can help other education; Reading classics can not only make up for the disadvantages in today's world education, but also be an educational model that human beings should learn forever here.
Heaven remains the same, and human nature remains the same. The education of reading classics conforms to human nature and will be accepted by the people of China and all mankind. Worry enlightens saints, and people's culture is successful, so that China can move towards a wise China and the world can become a wise world.
