Wen Rumin: Why Chinese teachers should read more and how to read (2)
? "Reading for nourishment" and the actual purpose of reading are not contradictory. It is necessary, reasonable and practical to study for exams and make a living, but we should also set a higher "training" goal, so that this goal integrates the actual goals of exams and job hunting.

? "Reading and nourishing" is actually a "big pattern", which can also be seen from the perspective of cultivating outlook on life and world. The outlook on life and world determines people's basic views on the whole meaning of life and world value, including the meaning of life, truth, goodness and beauty, the essence of life and death, man and nature, humanity and sociality, the norms of social justice, the bottom line of ethics and so on. These questions are original, and some of them are full of philosophical meaning and belong to the ultimate concern.

? The discussion and exploration of these primitive problems will also lead to the establishment of outlook on life and world outlook, which may fundamentally determine people's lifelong pursuit and determine people's thinking and behavior patterns. The cultivation of this outlook on life and world outlook is even more important than the acquisition of knowledge. Reading, especially in the impetuous information age, is very important for establishing a sound outlook on life and world. These suggestions are not only for students, but also for teachers. I also mentioned some suggestions on how to study in that article, and I think primary and secondary school teachers can also refer to them. The first thing is to make a reading plan and a book list.

? Reading can never grasp what is what. Online reading is generally easy to be unplanned and follow the trend. If you want to "charge", you should not only have a certain plan, but also pay attention to classics, and choose more works that are suitable for "reading" and enlighten your mind, instead of adopting the attitude of reading online, just following the trend or reading completely by temper.

? I suggest that every teacher should have his own book list and set which books to read in a few years. There must be a plan and overall consideration, so that reading can be systematic. It is feasible to consider the arrangement of time in the book list. Generally speaking, it can include three parts, which are three circles that can be nested together and staggered with each other. The outermost "circle" is the part of general education. These books should be the most basic, and people who have gone to college and received a good education should have read them. Mainly Chinese and foreign cultural classics, is the most basic book. The purpose of reading is to contact Chinese and foreign cultural classics and feel the crystallization of human wisdom. This is part of a big reading circle outside, not necessarily very big. For example, it would be nice to read more than a dozen famous Chinese and foreign books in three or four years.

? The second "circle" is the part related to your major or occupation. For example, if you study physics, you can arrange for yourself to read some books on chemistry, mathematics, biology and information science, as well as books on adjacent disciplines related to physics, and you can also read books on the history of science and technology, philosophy of science and technology and pedagogy. Students of liberal arts should also read some books on science. Chinese teachers should read more widely than other subjects. The purpose of doing this is to lay a foundation, expand professional horizons, learn from others and activate thinking.

? The third "circle" is the core. This part of the bibliography is mainly aimed at their own majors, or the majors they are particularly interested in and want to study. People who have the right to speak should have a clear direction. On the other hand, the core part is professional and professional needs. Of course, it is best not to sell books now, but to have a subject or field that keeps you interested.

? Of course, in addition to these three parts of the bibliography, there can be some entertaining and recreational books, but they should not be the main body and do not need too strong planning. There is no need to set up a special "circle", just look around and adjust it.

? The above suggestions for teachers to set up three circles of their own books should be understood as three parts, which can be staggered from each other. In short, there must be some systems and plans to urge yourself to finish reading some basic books in a certain period of time. Don't set too many books, mainly basic books and classic books. Nowadays, the society is impetuous, except for graduate students, it is difficult for college students to study with peace of mind. After four years in college, there may be few complete books, most of which are scrawled in order to cope with the exam. Now that I am a teacher, I should reread the basic books that I should have read in college but didn't read well. I think this is more useful than many trainings.

? To encourage and require Chinese teachers to be "reading seeds", there must be some policy guarantees and concrete and feasible measures. Let me make some suggestions. First, the education authorities, as well as school principals, must attach importance to this matter and give schools, teaching and research groups and teachers room to study. Don't take care of everything, don't interfere too much, and don't engage in endless appraisal and inspection. It can be stipulated to arrange necessary reading time for teachers, and support and encourage schools to carry out teachers' reading activities.

? Second, teachers in China, especially young teachers, are encouraged to make their own reading and further education plans, including books lists suitable for them, respect teachers' reading autonomy, and ensure the feasibility of reading plans.

? The third is to update the way and content of teacher training. All kinds of teacher training focus on stimulating reading interest and guiding reading thinking. Measures should be taken to encourage and support the establishment of reading training groups and create a good reading atmosphere.

? Fourthly, higher normal education should adjust and improve the curriculum system, and have practical requirements in reading, especially basic books, so as to change the pale situation that Chinese teachers do not read, read less and lack "literary spirit" from the source.

? There are too many schools, too many experiences and too many reforms in the field of education in China. The teacher is confused, tired and anxious. Now they need to be quiet and study. This is more practical and important than any reform model. Don't sit and talk, don't argue endlessly, I hope everyone can turn some good ideas into practical measures, improve inch by inch, and gradually make more Chinese teachers become "reading seeds", fundamentally improve the level of Chinese teaching, and may even help to change the poor situation that people don't read and study less.
