There are two most important viewpoints in Mr. Ye Shengtao's Chinese education thought. One is about the nature of Chinese subject: Chinese is a tool and an indispensable tool in daily life. The second is about the task of Chinese teaching. Teaching Chinese is to help students form a good habit of using Chinese.
According to the curriculum standard, Chinese should realize the unity of humanity and instrumentality. Humanism means that Chinese has the characteristics of conveying thoughts and feelings and carrying out ideological enlightenment education, while instrumentality means that Chinese has the function of helping people communicate. There has always been a view that attaching importance to instrumentality and ignoring humanism will make Chinese become emotionless, while attaching importance to humanism and ignoring instrumentality will make Chinese become an ideological and political discipline, so the unity of instrumentality and humanism has always been the goal and direction of Chinese teachers.
Mr. Ye Shengtao only defined the nature of Chinese as a tool, and emphasized that Chinese is "an indispensable tool in daily life". Why don't you emphasize humanism? I need to find the basis in the later reading. I made a bold guess. In the process of using Chinese as a tool to express, it is natural to penetrate the feelings of characters and convey ideas without special instructions. In doubt.
Mr. Ye Shengtao also said that old-style education is based on classicism. Reading ancient books is intended to put the contents of the books into your mind, whether it is suitable for real life or not, whether it is useful or not; To learn from the articles of the ancients is to imitate the programs and accents at home, whether it is suitable for expressing feelings or not, and whether it has any effect. Old-fashioned education is also the principle of keeping money. The goal of reading and writing is to become famous, at least to get a "meal". It is certainly better to be an official and a government. As for developing the necessary knowledge in a person's life, so that he can enjoy it all his life and indirectly benefit the society, this set of old-fashioned education simply doesn't care.
What an image! Just as most people say at present, "those who get Chinese get the college entrance examination" and "those who get Chinese get the world", it seems that learning Chinese is to get high marks. For the college entrance examination, Chinese itself has no important influence on a person's literacy accumulation, ability improvement and emotion. With such utilitarian propaganda orientation, do students really like Chinese? I'm afraid I'll fall into skill training mode again. If this is the case, it is exactly what Mr. Ye said: "Old-fashioned education can cultivate a large number of reciting' living bookcases', glib' humanoid parrots', big or small officials, and' Confucian scholars' who make a living by teaching and reading, but they cannot cultivate ordinary citizens who are good at using Chinese as a tool to cope with life."
If our education is only aimed at the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, then he learns the skills to cope with the examination, not the ability to express his personal feelings. As a person, his perception, understanding, experience and expression of life are all based on his own needs for social cognition. No matter what kind of education, the ultimate goal is to help a person spend his life better. China people should shoulder such a great responsibility.
