I really don't care about this place. If I hadn't been lucky enough to come here this time, I wouldn't have appreciated the elegant scenery of this Millennium-old town with rich water town customs.
Speaking of it, Lu Zhi and Taiyuan are the same age, with a long history of 2,500 years, profound cultural heritage and numerous places of interest. In recent years, it may not be as famous as Wuzhen, Tongli and Zhouzhuang, but it is said that they all belong to the six famous water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Fei Xiaotong and Fei Lao, who wrote Native China, rated it as "the first water town in China".
"There are many small bridges and alleys, and people are pillow rivers." Lots of water and bridges, thousand-year-old ginkgo trees, ancient streets and deep alleys, one brick and one tile, one bridge and one river are all very romantic and poetic. Ye Shengtao, a generation of teachers, is one of the outstanding representatives.
On this trip, I came to the "Holy Land".
Evergreen pines and cypresses, hidden in a magnificent tomb made of granite, are solemn. On the tall and wide wall of the tomb, there are six powerful characters inscribed by the famous calligrapher Mr. Zhao Puchu-"Mr. Ye Shengtao's Tomb".
The stone pillars and terraces around the tomb platform are carved with peach blossom, plum blossom and evergreen patterns. It symbolizes that Elymus has made outstanding achievements all over the world.
Next to the tomb is the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall specially built by the local government. There is a bust of a generation of famous teacher Ye Shengtao, and there are a lot of pictures, books and old things used by Ye Lao before his death for people to admire and cherish. The whole memorial hall is unpretentious, just like its people.
Back when I was a child, my understanding of Elymus was due to the green "Parthenocissus" and the first fairy tale "Scarecrow" in China, while when I was a child, it was "Wansheng Mihang, Broken Felt Hat, Big Tobacco Bag". Now, as a teacher, I pay more attention to his personality, teaching philosophy and concept worship. The narrow road leading to Luzhi Ancient Town is called "Shengda Road". It can be said that from the moment I embarked on that road, my admiration for pilgrimage came into being.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing Dynasty fell, and the warlords became independent, which was a mess. At that time, China was bullied and the people were in dire straits. But the night gave birth to light, the remnant winter gave birth to hope, and a single spark lit on the vast land. Many people of insight devote themselves to the exploration of "saving the country through education" and "saving the country through industry". Mr. Tao Xingzhi's Xiaozhuang Normal School, the beautiful Xiamen University, and The National SouthWest Associated University where masters gather. Not to mention the size of Peking University, Shui Mu and Tsinghua.
Luzhi, an ancient water town with a thousand-year cultural heritage, is one of the earliest "new schools" in Suzhou. Under the advocacy of the local enlightened squire and school administrator, Mr. Shen Bohan, he is determined to reform the outdated and backward education situation.
So, on that chilly spring evening more than 90 years ago, a boat carried Mr. Ye Shengtao, who was in his prime, to the land where I was standing at the moment. As a result, a vigorous drama of educational reform was launched in this closed land. The pioneering exploration and experiment of young Ye Shengtao made this school located in the ancient town of water town enter the history of modern education in China, and it was fortunate to be among the top 100 universities in China. Lu Zhi, a magical land, greeted him with his generosity and mind, and Ye Shengtao's literary creation began to enter a new realm.
Today, the field of "Shengsheng Farm" is still intact, with a sign with white characters on a blue background and explanations in Chinese and English, surrounded by sparse bamboo fences. Three ancient ginkgo trees are still tall and straight, as if telling people a touching story that happened here that year. I know them from Mr. Wang's essay "Three Ginkgo Trees".
Mr. Ye Shengtao's educational reform practice started from straightforwardness, and after 70 years, he formed Ye Shengtao's educational thought, which organically integrated modern advanced thoughts with traditional national characteristics. His famous sayings, such as "Teaching is to avoid teaching", "Education is to form good habits" and "Textbooks are nothing more than an example. With this example, students should be able to draw inferences from others and master reading and composition ...", have long been the consensus of the education sector. At present, the deepening of the new curriculum reform is exactly the same as Ye Shengtao's educational thought. As far as Chinese teaching is concerned, we try our best to guide students to study independently and explore cooperatively in reading class, to participate in comprehensive practical activities to accumulate materials in composition teaching, and to guide students to correct their own compositions. If you carefully read Ye Shengtao's Collection of Education, you can find satisfactory answers to many practices. The new educational experiment and "scholarly campus" advocated by Mr. Zhu Yongxin, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party and former vice mayor of Suzhou (of course, I prefer to call him an educator) are based largely on Ye Shengtao's educational thought, calling for the return of educational origin.
"The mountain is high." Standing in front of Mr. Ye Shengtao's grave, I feel infinite reverence and yearning. As an ordinary teacher, you can never reach the height of Mr. Wang. But we can learn, practice and explore. If we have a clear conscience and everything is safe, it will be the ultimate happiness and happiness.
Standing in front of Mr. Ye Shengtao's grave, I think that what lies here is a respected and kind-hearted founder of the literary and art circles and education circles; Cang Kejia, a poet, once vividly described Ye Lao's elder demeanor with the poem "Snow from Kunlun Mountain to the brow". Elymus has made outstanding achievements and achieved fruitful results. He is in a high position, but approachable. I will always remember the green creeper, and I will always miss the heart that loves education and serves the country.
It was already late at night, and the rain was gurgling outside the curtain; The rain falls on the grey tile bluestone, dripping and melodious. Heart river, agitation can not be calm. Let my thoughts flow slowly, to tomorrow and to my book garden. ...
