1. The dedication of "Come with a heart and go without a blade of grass"

Loyalty to and courage to devote themselves to education are the core content of teachers' professional ethics and the basis of teachers' professional feelings and behaviors. Mr Tao Xingzhi called this dedication "the lifeblood of education". He said: "Educators should know that education is nameless and unprofitable, and there is no honor to speak of. The opportunities that educators get are purely opportunities for service and contribution, and there is no reputation or honor at all. " "Come with a heart and go without a blade of grass" is the wise saying of Mr. Tao Xingzhi, and it is also his tireless pursuit all his life.

2. The caring spirit of "people-oriented" and "love the whole world"

The motto of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's life is "Love the whole world". He turned his deep love for the motherland and the people into infinite loyalty to the cause of education and dedicated his pure heart to the people. In view of the unreasonable reality that a few rulers in China monopolized education at that time, and the people did not have the right and opportunity to receive education, Mr. Tao Xingzhi proposed that the way of education should be to open up more channels, face the working people, and let all people in the whole society have the opportunity to receive education. Because of this, his greatest wish in life is to "turn knowledge into showers and nourish the earth;" Knowledge becomes the sun and makes everyone shine. "

3. The truth-seeking spirit of "teaching thousands of people to seek truth and learning thousands of things to be a man"

Mr. Tao Xingzhi pursued the truth all his life, and also educated people to pursue the truth and be a "real person". When he presided over the work of Yucai School, he asked teachers to "teach thousands of people to seek truth and learn thousands of things to be real people", which was actually a high summary of his educational goals. The "real person" advocated by him should mainly meet the following conditions: first, pursue the truth, tell the truth and devote himself to the truth; Second, be a "middleman" who comes from and serves the people, not a bureaucrat or spiritual aristocrat riding on the people's heads; Third, be a person with ideals, responsibilities and beliefs; Fourth, be a person who is determined to reform and dares to explore, experiment and create; Fifth, be a person with harmonious development of ideology and morality, culture and science, health and hygiene, and labor and aesthetic education. Mr. Tao Xingzhi also stressed that the shaping of "real people" can not be separated from social practice and life, but also depends on the cultivation of real teachers. Based on the theory of life education, he put forward a unique view on a really good teacher, and thought that a qualified teacher should have the qualities and sentiments of being open-minded, tolerant, sharing weal and woe with students, learning from the people and children. Teachers and students should establish a relationship of solidarity, which is not only reflected in life, but also implemented in all aspects of school life, especially in teaching. The duty of a really good teacher is to teach students to learn, so that students are willing to learn, never tire of learning and never tire of teaching.

4. The innovative spirit of "Dare to enter the frontier of uncivilized and explore undiscovered new ideas"

Mr. Tao Xingzhi put forward the idea of "creative education" in his educational works, such as Declaration of Creation, Outline of Creative Education Year Plan and Son of Creation. In his view, "the highest state of doing is creation" and "action is the beginning of education in China and creation is the completion of education in China", which are the starting point and destination of life education. It can be said that creative education is the fundamental feature of Tao Xingzhi's educational thought and practice. Tao Xingzhi not only opposes teachers teaching dead books, teaching the dead and teaching the dead, but also opposes students reading dead books, reading the dead and reading the dead. While criticizing the old education, he clearly pointed out: "Education can not create anything, but it can inspire and liberate children's creativity and make them engage in creative work." He issued an appeal of "breaking children's hell and creating children's paradise". .

"Teach yourself by teaching others" is a famous saying of Mr. Tao Xingzhi. He believes that to cultivate students' creativity, teachers should first have the creative spirit and be first-class educators, "dare to explore new ideas that have not yet been discovered, that is, the creative spirit; Dare to enter the uncivilized frontier is the pioneering spirit. When creating, look deep; When open, look far. "Moreover, the greatest happiness of being a teacher is to create students worthy of learning and worship. Accurately speaking, it is the teacher who creates the students as well as the students. This thought that shine on you is better than blue is the embodiment of Tao Xingzhi's broad mind and far-reaching vision as a people's educator, and also the embodiment of his lofty ideological realm of loving students and educating the country.

5. Harmonious spirit of "study together, work together and cultivate together"

Harmony is an important content of teachers' morality. Mr. Tao Xingzhi hated the old tradition of belittling literati and jealous of interpersonal relationships in society at that time. He emphasized that teachers should live in harmony and work together. In his view, only when teachers in a school unite and cooperate, "study together, work together and cultivate together" can they cultivate people who are true, good and beautiful. He also attached great importance to the cooperation between teachers and students and demanded "modesty and openness, cooperation and gregarious". He said: "Teachers should be integrated with students, students should be integrated with teachers, teachers should be integrated with teachers, and students should be integrated with students. They should know everything and say everything. In a school, the gap between people is completely widened. This is the real spiritual flow and the real personality education. " Only in this way can we form a harmonious atmosphere in which teachers and students share joys and sorrows, live together, create school spirit together and abide by school rules together. The method of "learning together, working together and cultivating together" between teachers and students is the real education.

6. The studious spirit of "never too old to learn, never too old to learn, never too old to learn again"

The motto that Mr. Tao Xingzhi often uses to encourage himself is "Never too old to learn, never too old to learn". In view of the common problem in the education field at that time, that is, teachers copied what they had learned and sold it to students, he clearly pointed out: "We teachers must study every day and re-educate every day in order to have the joy of teaching without the pain of teaching." Because good students are often willing to race with teachers in knowledge and accomplishment, this forces teachers not to slack off and relax at all, but to constantly push themselves to run ahead of students, which is also a place worthy of respect for teachers. At the same time, studious teachers can also set an example for students. He earnestly warned the teacher: "Students must learn well if they want to learn well. Only a gentleman who never tires of learning can teach a student who never tires of learning. " Mr. Tao Xingzhi also stressed that teachers should not only be diligent and eager to learn, but also worship the people as teachers and learn from students and children. To this end, he specially wrote a poem: "The people do good, the people hate it, teach the people to make progress, and worship the people as teachers." This points out the way and direction of learning for teachers.

7. Self-discipline spirit of "learning to be a teacher and a model"

Mr. Tao Xingzhi has always advocated that "teachers should lead by example", "those who teach must teach themselves" and "those who need respect must respect themselves first". He asked teachers to be self-disciplined and "cultivate themselves to the point where every move, word and deed are worthy of being teachers". "What students are required to do, faculty and staff do it together; Students are required to learn knowledge, and teachers and staff are required to study together; The rules that students must abide by, faculty and staff must abide by. " On this basis, he demanded: "No matter what students are asked to do, they should do it first; If students are asked not to do it, they will definitely not do it themselves. Teachers should be strict with themselves, be down-to-earth, be consistent in words and deeds, and be consistent in appearance. "Mr. Tao Xingzhi's ideas of" leading by example "and" different from person to person "profoundly reveal the intuition and imitation principle of education. Teacher Tao Xingzhi's life is a life of "leading by example" and "educating people", and his life is worthy of being a model of "eternal model".
