School motto was originally the key word in the school principal's speech. Because it has both cultural connotation and practical work effect, it has been passed down by teachers and students for a long time, and after a long time, it has formed a concise school motto. After being integrated, refined and sublimated, the school motto can inspire and inspire teachers and students, and better reflect the purpose of running a school and training objectives. It is an invisible force and plays an inestimable role in cultivating teachers and students. Li Lanqing, former vice premier of the State Council, once pointed out that we should take school motto as the core and promote the construction of spiritual civilization and campus culture. Tao Xingzhi said: "Doing is action, doing is thinking, and doing is the generation of new values." He pointed out: "To be a modern man, we must acquire modern knowledge, learn modern skills, feel modern problems and exert our strength in a modern way. The times are constantly advancing. We must participate in modern life and keep pace with the times in order to be a long-term modern person. " 194 1 year, Chen Heqin said in the book Living Education: "The purpose of living education is to cultivate a person, a China person and a modern China person".
Experimental Primary School in Xuecheng District of Zaozhuang City undertakes the historical mission of cultivating "modern China people". By absorbing the educational thoughts of predecessors and according to the requirements of the development of the new era, the connotation of "being a modern China person" is defined as four aspects: first, to carry forward the fine traditional virtues of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and have good moral cultivation; Second, it is necessary to inherit the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and have a solid traditional cultural foundation; Third, we should face the future society, accumulate core competitiveness and have the ability to participate in future social competition; Fourth, advocate healthy personality growth, form a high-grade lifestyle, and advocate teachers and students to be modern China people who meet the requirements of the times.
