? Since ancient times, the people of China have a fine tradition of farming and studying. However, the importance and degree of development of education are different in different periods and places. The education in Conghua keeps up with the development of the times and has gone through a difficult process and changed greatly.
? According to Conghua County Records, the Confucian Temple was founded in Liu Hong, a magistrate of a county in the eighth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. This is the first and only official school in Conghua. After the expansion of Lin Yan, Li Duo, Cheng Xiang, Lu Tianen and others, this official school has reached a certain scale. Li Minbiao, a famous scholar in Ming Dynasty, studied in this official school. Later, it was destroyed by the flood and was not rebuilt until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
? In the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, the education in Conghua was mainly private schools. At that time, most of the villages that could run private schools were villages of large families. For example, Mumian Village is the largest natural village in Conghua. In the Qing Dynasty, all branches basically had private schools. Famous bookstores include Yongjian Bookstore, Tang Zhi Bookstore, Yongkuan Bookstore, Wenzhi Bookstore and Baoshan Bookstore. Jiangpu Village's "Bamboo Repairer's Beauty Pavilion" was inscribed by Lin Zhaotang, the champion of the Qing Dynasty, and later developed into Yongsi Primary School, which was changed to Jiangpu Primary School after liberation. Guancun has a heart garden study. Shangluo Village has Shuangfeng Bookstore. There is a Fangru Bookstore in Jin Dong Village. There is a Tang Ye bookstore in Yingfuli Village of Wocang. Even in Shuipu Village, Lvtian, a remote mountainous area, there was a Happy Bookstore, which was taught by Li Chengjiu, a private school teacher, until the early liberation. In Chonglou Village, I thought there were no private schools. At the end of last year, with the help of the painter Liang Lianzhi, the ruins of the village private school were finally found near the turret. Although dilapidated, the pattern of private schools is still visible. In the inscription of Chengde School rebuilt in Da 'ao Village, it is said that Chengde's lineage has been passed down from generation to generation and life is difficult. After years of hard work, he founded an ancestral temple for teaching and calligraphy. Many villages have such ancestral halls, as well as places shared by private schools. Private schools in this period are comparable to ancestral halls with better conditions in various villages, which are set apart from ancestral halls and have dozens of students; Only a few houses with mud bricks and red tiles are in poor condition, and only a few students are studying. Roughly speaking, there are nearly 30 such private schools in Conghua. Until the late Qing Dynasty, there was only one Confucianism in the county as an "official camp".
? 1907, Gong Xiaojinzhou, Vice Minister of Qing Dynasty, hired famous architects to plan and build Conghua Higher Primary School Hall, including auditorium 1 room, 5 classrooms, 28 dormitories for teachers and students, as well as playground, canteen, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. With proper layout, good air circulation and sufficient light, the school building was the most magnificent and top-grade school at that time. Many rich or bureaucratic children study in this school.
In addition, there are several smaller primary schools in Conghua, most of which are converted from private schools. The campus is relatively small, with a total of about 52 1 student.
? During the Republic of China, Conghua's education developed. During this period, Conghua higher primary school continued to run schools, and the academic system and subject content changed. It was not until 1938 10 that the Japanese invaders invaded Conghua and it had to stop running. 1942, the school moved to the Li ancestral hall in Xinwuwei, Guancun, and resumed classes for more than one year. At the beginning of 1943, the then county government cancelled the school and changed it into Conghua Normal School, located in the hot spring.
19 10, Conghua Christian Church also opened a school. 192 1 year, Peizheng Middle School Primary School Branch was expanded at the street corner. There is also a girls' primary school run by the church. These schools were small in scale and closed in 1927.
1926 county junior high school was founded in Conghua, with the school site in Mingluntang. 1927, the number of students increased and the school site was moved to Confucius Temple. Conghua County Junior High School was the highest institution in Conghua at that time. Because of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the school site moved to folk music and hot springs, and it was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that it moved back to Congcheng. Then three junior high schools were established, namely Congcheng, Liangkou and Taiping. At the same time, cancel all county primary schools and set up central primary schools. At that time, the central primary schools were: Huancheng (Menkoujiang) Central Primary School, Fenghe Central Primary School, Taoyuan Central Primary School, Shaoshui (Guancun) Central Primary School, Luojin Central Primary School, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Central Primary School and Taiping Central Primary School. There are also central primary schools in Donglu, Shaxi, Xijiao, Renhe, Maipu, Liangkou and Lutian townships. During this period, in addition to occupying the ancestral hall, some classrooms and student dormitories were built around the back of the ancestral hall, such as Menkoujiang Primary School. On the north side behind the ancestral hall, several blue brick houses were built as classrooms, as well as playgrounds and dormitories for teachers and students. Due to political instability and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, these schools operate from time to time, and their enrollment accounts for only about 20% of school-age children. The children of most working people have no right to education.
After liberation, the party and government attached great importance to education. 1950, Wenquan Middle School, Congcheng Middle School, Liangkou Middle School, Taiping Middle School and Conghua Normal School merged into a joint middle school. 195 1 year changed to conghua middle school.
? Earth-shaking changes have taken place in this middle school for decades. From the original brick houses to the present high-rise buildings, modern teaching buildings, experimental buildings and dormitory buildings for teachers and students have been built. The school has a science museum, a library, teaching demonstration rooms and laboratories for various subjects, and all kinds of modern equipment are readily available. The school canteen can be compared with the canteen. There are beautiful scenery and flowers on campus. The school has a large playground, gymnasium, biological park, geographical park, banyan garden and folk museum. Every year, hundreds of students are admitted to various universities, including national key universities, which is an important place to train talents in Conghua.
? Liuxi Primary School, formerly known as Menkoujiang Primary School, was once the central primary school around the city before liberation. After liberation, this school has achieved new development. 1959 1 8, Premier Zhou inspected the school and made important instructions. The development of the school has embarked on the fast track, which has played a demonstration and driving role in Conghua's education and teaching work. Nowadays, school buildings are all buildings, with classrooms, offices, conference rooms, computer rooms, music rooms and other places. All kinds of audio-visual education facilities are readily available, and the campus garden layout reflects a warm and positive atmosphere everywhere.
Hecang Primary School was founded in 196 1 year. At that time, it was the primary school attached to Jiangpu Central Primary School. At that time, there were only two classrooms, two teachers' dormitories and offices, and two classes, Grade One and Grade Two, were opened. After finishing the second grade, students have to walk to Jiangpu Central Primary School, two kilometers away. When I was studying in this primary school, I had to take desks and stools from home. There is no activity place in the school, not even a toilet. By the end of 1960s, the school had expanded into a complete primary school, with more than a dozen classrooms and teachers' dormitories made of mud bricks and red tiles. In the early 1970 s, the second day of the first grade was attached to the middle school. By the early 1980s, the first teaching building had been built. By the end of 1990s, modern teaching buildings and teachers' dormitories had been relocated, with 24 classrooms and more than 10 offices, computer rooms, health rooms, conference rooms and the Young Pioneers Team. A standard football field and basketball court have been built, and a plastic track has been laid on the playground, which has become a modern complete primary school with perfect rooms and venues.
? With the deepening of reform and opening up, the construction of Conghua campus is developing towards standardization and scale. At present, there are 7 middle schools directly under the district in Conghua, among which 6 middle schools offer junior middle schools and senior middle schools, and other towns and villages have large-scale junior middle schools. These middle schools are all built in buildings, with standardized rooms and venues, modern equipment and better campus greening and beautification. The number of students is as high as 1000, which is an important foundation for the development of Conghua education.
Since 1983, junior high school education has been popularized in Conghua. 1986 Popularize nine-year compulsory education. 1987, there were 86,059 students and 4,545 faculty members. During this period, even small villages with only a few dozen people, such as Lu Tian Yudong, had primary schools. Every village has schools and everyone has books to read, and the Millennium ideal has become a reality.
? In recent ten years, with the acceleration of urbanization, some remote mountain villages have been hollowed out, and the number of local school students has decreased year by year. In view of this situation, the education department has accelerated the construction of urban schools and township key schools, expanded school buildings and various teaching facilities, merged remote schools, and enlarged existing schools. At the same time, school buses are introduced to pick up and drop off remote students, which facilitates student management, eliminates potential safety hazards and improves the conditions for rural people to go to school.
? After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, Conghua people have worked hard to build a school, give full play to their own advantages and absorb the strength of running a school from the society. Educational conditions have kept pace with modern development, and campus construction has surpassed the sum of the previous Millennium. Some people say that almost all the best and most beautiful buildings are schools all over the world. Conghua has beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. It has also attracted nine universities, including Huanong Zhujiang College, South China Institute of Software, Urban Construction College and Guangdong Institute of Hydropower, with more than100000 students. Conghua has always been regarded as a strong education area in Guangdong Province. Now, the knowledge structure and cultural quality of Conghua people have improved to an unprecedented degree. This has played a great role in improving the productivity of Conghua, promoting economic take-off, promoting modernization and spiritual civilization construction, and has also made great contributions to the development of the motherland.
