As an advocate and practitioner of life-oriented education, "Education is a Slow Art: Zhang Wenzhi Education Lecture", Zhang Wenzhi has been deeply involved in the people for a long time, paying attention to the survival and growth of front-line teachers and the development and predicament of primary and secondary education reform. Based on this continuous field investigation and deep grassroots feelings, Zhang Wenzhi put forward the important viewpoint that "education is a slow art". This is not only a rational reversal of the current educational situation, but also an effort to return to the essence of education.
