The first is "benevolence". From the spiritual point of view, Suzhou has produced spirit in history. For example, Fan Zhongyan's "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later", and Gu's "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". If Fan Zhongyan was 1000 years ago, it was the Middle Ages; So Gu was more than 300 years ago, belonging to the recent ancient times. Looking back at ancient times, I have to say that Yan Yan of Changshu is the only disciple of Confucius in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people say that the words in Li Yun are not necessarily spoken by Confucius, but handed down by Yan Yan's disciples. If so, it shows that Confucius' thought of benevolence has something to do with Yan Yan, so Suzhou is spiritual.
The second is "Chongwen". I have done some research on the imperial examination system. /kloc-during the imperial examination in 0/300, there were about 65438+ ten thousand scholars. It is estimated that there are more than 3,000 people in Suzhou today, which is 1/30. 1300 There are nearly 600 top students in liberal arts and more than 0 top students in martial arts. There are about 45 people in Suzhou today, which is a very powerful number. In fact, the earliest champions all appeared in the Central Plains, and Suzhou was a rising star because it was late. Therefore, it is no accident that so many champions have been produced in such a short time. Its root is related to Suzhou's tradition of attaching importance to culture and education for more than 2000 years.
The third is "the way to govern the country." Suzhou education has always been connected with the pulse of the times. I am in charge of a project "The Road of Educators' Growth". In the history of China, there have been three educationists. The first time was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the second time was in the Song Dynasty, and the third time was in modern China. The emergence of these three educators has a certain relationship with Suzhou. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yan Yan had to be mentioned. In the Song Dynasty, I had to mention Fan Zhongyan and Hu Yuan. Looking at modern times, Feng Guifen is a weighty educator. He wrote "Protest in Schools" at 186 1, which was the earliest book in modern China to reform China's education and society. Educators Wang Tao and Ye Shengtao are also from Suzhou. Another educator, Yu Ziyi, is also from Suzhou. He actively practiced Herbart's "five-stage teaching method" and carried out experiments such as self-study counseling, flexible grade promotion, design learning and single-class compound teaching, which made great contributions to the establishment of teaching organization and formal system in primary and secondary schools in China. Yu Qingtang, whose ancestral home is Taicang, is also a famous educator. The mass education advocated by her has spread from Jiangsu to the whole country and is known as the "nanny of mass education". In every historical period in Suzhou, there will be educators who can set an example for the educational reform and development of the whole country.
The fourth is "tolerance". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Taibo sent an envoy to Wu, making Suzhou a meeting place of farming culture and water culture. In modern times, Suzhou, known as the back garden of Shanghai, has become the edge of the intersection of Chinese and western cultures. Therefore, the city of Suzhou has a strong inclusiveness and openness in its bones. Suzhou's "Wu Nong Ruan Yu" is the embodiment of softness, while Suzhou's master Mo Xie's sword is the embodiment of rigidity, but it is still very tense. I have thought about the word "tolerance", which makes it easier for us to associate tolerance with greatness. From the part of speech, "you" is a verb, which is consistent with "respecting benevolence", "respecting literature" and "being practical" I said earlier.
