Ningming risked his life without silence. Thoughts on Reading The Voice of Hu Shi
For us who grew up in the cultural fault era, Mr. Hu Shi seems to be just a symbol of history. He used to be the frontier of writing reform and an advocate of the new culture movement. For various reasons, I seldom see Mr. Hu's words, and most of my understanding of him comes from fragmentary anecdotes or grand feelings. Recently, I found a book "The Voice of Hu Shi" in Nantu. Although it is only a collection of speeches in different periods, it is enough to glimpse Mr. Hu's extensive knowledge and knowledge.
Life and death in silence is the preface of The Sound of Hu Shizhi, and it is the life motto advocated and pursued by Mr. Hu all his life. From this perspective, Mr. Wang will be a "big right" in any context. As a scholar with a profound old school background and growing up in a perfect western education, Mr. Hu has made great achievements in many fields, such as literature, philosophy, history, textual research, education, ethics and so on. He is a real academic master who combines Chinese and western. His writing style is simple and clear, simple and natural, and there is no elite consciousness. Even now, he has a strong sense of closeness, which is in line with his advocacy that vernacular Chinese should be "living".
This book covers a wide range of fields and ages. From the May 4th Movement to the 1950s, it almost covered all kinds of speeches made by Mr. Hu in different periods of his life. Let's see that Mr. Hu's attitude of being a man and studying fully embodies the "bold assumptions, careful verification" and "words must prove" advocated by him all his life.
What impressed me deeply in the book was the retrospective speech on the May 4th incident, and the detailed and detailed process description made us feel immersive. On the one hand, he admitted that "only after the great liberation that sensationalized the youth of the whole country did the ideological circle respected by Dr. Sun Yat-sen have unprecedented changes". On the other hand, he insisted that the May 4th Movement "was indeed a historic political interference in the whole cultural movement. It turns a cultural movement into a movement. " He made it clear that he sympathized with the government and rejected the way of sports. As an independent intellectual, Mr Hu has always insisted on "being born in Ningming" in his own way.
Another distinctive speech is about the development history of Zen in China, which systematically tells the growth and development of Buddhism in China from the perspective of the history of China's philosophy. Mr. Hu's research on the development history of Zen is informative and objective. Mr. Hu himself has no religious belief, and his Buddhist research is entirely from the perspective of learning. Mr. Hu's study of Zen originated from the Outline of China's Philosophy History edited by him. Until his death, he only finished the first volume of Outline of China's Philosophy History. Zen history is a lack of research, and he has been making up for it. Mr. Hu has made a lot of efforts and accumulated a lot of experience in the history of Zen. On the basis of textual research, he specially wrote a biography of the monk of God for Huineng's disciples. The sixth ancestor had a great influence and became a master but could not read. In his later years, he spent a lot of time studying the Chronicle of the Virtual Cloud Monks. Although the history of Zen Buddhism is only the tip of Mr Hu's academic circle, his rigorous attitude is enough to describe the development history of Buddhism in China, and his research even triggered a debate between Japanese Zen scholars and him. Mr. Hu's study of Zen history reflects his academic silence.
Looking more at Mr. Hu's research, we will feel the blend of China's traditional culture and modern civilization, feel his behavior characteristics as an independent intellectual, and express his personal thoughts with independent, rational, responsible, correct and responsible remarks.
How to deeply explore and identify with our own culture and how to "live in Ningming and die in silence" with the thinking of independent intellectuals is a problem that we need to explore all our lives.

Comment on how to say that children will listen, and how to listen to children will say.
When I first came into contact with this book, what came to mind was the scene that I talked about in front and the children talked about in the back when organizing activities. I have been exploring ways to make children willing to listen to me, to listen to me attentively and to respond positively. I keep trying various methods in my work, but I haven't received good results. Maybe this book will help me? Perhaps the book is nothing more than "respect, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, equality, from the perspective of children" and so on? With these two thoughts in mind, I began to look through this book. During the browsing process, the case pictures attracted me deeply. Not only do my handling methods coincide with the wrong examples every time, but I also admire the correct guiding methods. After careful reading, I got other gains and benefited a lot.
This book overcomes the shortcomings of empty theoretical preaching in general books. It combines many stories and illustrated forms and puts forward many simple and practical methods. I think this book is essentially a book of interpersonal communication, and many of its ideas and methods are applicable not only to the communication between parents and children, but also to the communication between teachers and children.
Reading through the book, I have some superficial gains:
First, how to help children overcome negative emotions and the enlightenment of entering the park on children's emotional problems;
In small classes, children often cry and refuse to come to the park in the morning. Generally speaking, when children are in a bad mood, we always try to comfort them with the concept of adults and convince them with our own reasons. In fact, children often want to express their feelings and get recognition and find a sense of belonging. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory divides needs into physiological needs, security needs, belonging and love needs, respect needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs and self-realization needs. Everyone has a need to belong and love. Perhaps understanding and approval are the best comfort drugs. When children feel accepted, they will have the courage to face their own problems. Recognize your child's feelings and express your understanding in appropriate language. Don't rush to give your child a solution to the problem. Let children talk about their own problems and find out the solutions to them, so as to help children get out of the predicament of being a listener.
So how should children face their feelings? The book gives us practical advice: 1, pay attention to the lecture. 2. identify with the child's feelings. 3. Express your child's feelings. 4. Satisfy children's wishes through imagination.
Second, how to praise children's comments on art works;
When I evaluate children's works or behaviors, I often inadvertently use "You did a great job" and "This painting is beautiful". Sometimes I don't even know where to judge. Evaluation language is usually single in words and poor in content. In this way, the evaluation language becomes a pure formal language, which is of little help to children's language expression and emotional improvement. The book puts forward the following methods on how to praise children: describe what you see, describe your feelings, and summarize the commendable behavior of children in one word. When evaluating, you can first describe what you see in your eyes, tell your feelings, and guide your children to talk about their feelings.
After trying to evaluate children's works in this way, I heard a conversation between two children. Your painting is very good. I like it. B: Why? A: Because it's beautiful. Because there are two snails in your painting, one is big and the other is small. I like this little snail very much. A child has a beautiful smile. A was recognized in B's evaluation, which enhanced self-confidence. And know the advantages of your work, and you can continue to carry it forward in the future. B also learned the advantages of A, so as to learn and improve in the future.
Third, how to use other methods instead of punishment to deal with children's misconduct:
We have always disagreed with punishment, which will have many side effects. Such as: the feelings that punishment brings to children: hostility, hatred, resistance, guilt, no sense of value and self-pity; Children will be distracted in punishment and miss the opportunity to repent of their misconduct and think about correcting their mistakes; It is not conducive to children's heartfelt understanding of mistakes and correcting them; As a behavior, punishment will be imitated by children, and "bullying the weak" becomes his way of dealing with problems; Children's punishment will alleviate their guilt about wrong behavior. They believe that "punishment" can offset their "crimes" and they can repeat the same mistakes with peace of mind.
So there's nothing we can do if something goes wrong? Experts believe that a child should experience the natural consequences of his misconduct instead of being punished. Some consequences cannot be simulated. How do children experience the consequences of their misconduct?
The book gives me seven ways to replace punishment: 1. Divert attention: shift children's attention to "problem" behavior to help teachers do things or interesting things. 2. Clearly express the position of strong disagreement (but don't attack the child's personality), so that the child can understand the influence of the problem itself. 3. Show your expectations: Don't excessively pursue the mistakes that have happened, and show your expectations for your child's next walk. 4. Provide choices: provide children with reasonable and acceptable choices and give them a sense of respect, not compulsion. 5. Tell the child how to make up for his mistakes: When the child's knowledge and experience can't find a solution to the problem, we can directly tell the child what to do and help him make up for his mistakes. 6. When a child misbehaves, we can take action against things that have no serious impact on us, so that the child can directly face the consequences behind the behavior.
Of course, being aware of the problem and knowing some suggestions and methods on how to do it can't give us any substantive help. The key lies in practice, and the specific methods for different problems need to be explored in actual situations. For me, it's been half a year since I joined the work and contacted this book. Without careful exploration, I have less work experience and only a superficial understanding. This book needs to be read frequently, and I believe it will continue to inspire and help us in the future. "The road is long, Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down."

The breeze and bright moon are free to look for the idea of being a warm educator.
How many possibilities are there to read an educational book? Quietly enter, let the author take you to swim easily in various educational ideas, and look for the cool breeze and bright moon in education. Kyle's book "Being a Warm Educator" did it.
Teacher Kyle is an ordinary educator. He has a deep knowledge of language, is good at grasping things around him sensitively, and is handy in describing various topics from the perspective of education. Over time, he insisted on writing and formed more than 270 thousand words of educational works.
Most of the articles in the book are short and pithy, and there are no redundant words, which gives people a strong reading pleasure. The book is rich in topics, which makes us deeply feel the free search process of an ordinary teacher as a teacher, as a student and as a person. Facing the triviality and complexity of reality, Kyle always takes care of the educational reality with the wisdom of educators, showing an educator's attitude towards work and life.
As educators, we should seek a state of working attitude.
The book puts forward many suggestions on educators' working attitude, such as: the basic requirements of teachers are to create a relaxed and harmonious environment, adjust and form a tolerant inner mentality, and adhere to a generous and caring communication mentality; "Small doubts and small progress, big doubts and great progress" can strive to cultivate students' spirit of doubt, critical thinking and innovation. These all need teachers to constantly seek!
For educators' working attitude, Mr. Kyle thinks that there is a realm, and draws lessons from Mr. Wang Guowei's classic description of the realm, that is, the first realm, "The west wind withered the green trees last night. Being alone in a tall building, looking at the horizon. " Game 2 "I won't regret that my belt is getting wider and I am haggard for Iraq." In the third scene, "the crowd searched for him for thousands of Baidu, and suddenly looked back, the man was in the dim light." Education with realm has its own style, and education with realm has vitality. There are big and small realms, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Teaching knowledge, teaching methods and teaching mentality can be the three realms of education. For growing people, knowledge, methods and mentality are very important. The realm is from low to high, the low level is knowledge acquisition, and the high level is mentality cultivation. As long as it can be effectively integrated, it can promote the harmonious development of life.
As an educator, we should seek a quality attitude towards life.
A quality attitude towards life has various connotations, and reading is a good channel. Reading can make you happy and improve yourself. Reading makes life more interesting, makes people feel more peaceful and makes their career more intelligent.
Educators are the inheritors and leaders of culture, and reading is not only the demand of self-improvement, but also the requirement of occupation. As long as a teacher is willing to keep company with books and insists on the attitude of "I love my teacher, and I love truth more", he can find the breeze and bright moon in his heart and shape a quality life posture.
Let every touch melt in your heart, let every feeling sprout in your heart, and record your thoughts. As an ordinary educator, Mr. Kyle has provided us with a good model of work and attitude towards life.
Let's look for the cool breeze and bright moon in education with a warm heart and become warm educators! Bai Xia entered the school, Yu Yang.

Comment on how to say that children will listen, and how to listen to children will say.
Go to the bookstore and look through the dazzling array of preschool education books on the shelf. Although there are many excellent books, it is difficult to feel the heartbeat, and there are too many words, and I don't know where to go. Suddenly I saw this book and thought it was a very theoretical book, or an example of a child's mother growing up with her child. But after I opened it, I was deeply attracted by the illustrations and concise dialogues and suggestions. Seeing the contrast between the pros and cons of illustrations, I deeply feel that our family and kindergarten teachers will have corresponding inappropriate language more or less. Maybe those languages are normal to us on weekdays, but in contrast, I can really feel the power of appreciating or accepting and empathetic languages. Even as an adult, I prefer to hear such language. Of course, what the book says is not only language, but also an attitude.
After reading this book, I have too much joy and too much confusion. Read a little every day, and you will be full of expectation and hope that the next day will come. I think I have found a suitable way to communicate with children or deal with problems. I want to spend a happy, equal and effective time with the children in the park in these precious ways as soon as possible. However, there will always be some problems in the implementation process. The seemingly simple dialogue in the book is not an easy task in the process of implementation. First of all, things happen in different situations, and the language in the book can't be imitated stiffly. At first, I thought these simple languages were easy to "speak", but in the process of communication, I found it really difficult. It is mentioned in the book that many ways of speaking in our lives have changed qualitatively and it is difficult to change. Teachers or family members need to practice. Second, we should change our attitude. Life is only once, time can't go back, and children's wonderful childhood can't go back. If you want children to have a wonderful childhood, you must have enough patience to treat them, listen to their every word, and find their happy or sad moments. We are teachers and students, or mother and daughter. There are many trivial things in life, and sometimes we are inevitably impatient. But your little negligence may leave a little "pain" for your child. If you are unhappy, you can talk to the children. They can feel your sadness, but please don't push them away as an excuse.
This book has a great influence on me, although my understanding of this book is not very thorough. But the article about "learning to appreciate children" made me a little "proud" and I deeply felt the power of appreciation.
Hehe is the youngest child in our class, a boy. Compared with other children, he develops slowly in all aspects. In addition, he has never been to kindergarten before (kindergarten is transferred next semester, so he seldom enters the park because he is often ill). He doesn't adapt to the life in kindergarten, and he doesn't take part in various activities in the class. He asks the teacher to feed him every time he eats. Even if the teacher feeds him, he doesn't eat much, and sometimes he vomits after eating a few bites. He has a stubborn temper. As long as he doesn't want to eat, no matter how the teacher feeds him, he won't take a bite of rice. Because he had a heart operation just after he was born, the teacher has been taking special care of him. After the beginning of this semester, his ability in all aspects has improved slightly, but he still needs teachers to support him. Once the teacher praised him at dinner, and he was very happy. The next day, when I was eating, I found that he was willing to eat. Although he still needs the teacher to feed him, he is much faster. For the next few days, I will praise him "quietly" every day when I feed him. One day, I saw him eating with a spoon I went to him at once and praised him. "We eat better and better. We all eat with spoons ourselves, right? " He smiled and nodded a few times, and I gave him a thumb. I found that he not only took the initiative to eat, but also made great progress in other aspects. Seeing the teacher calling the teacher hello with a smile, the teachers in the garden praised the "little guy" in our class for growing up.
I am very happy to see every progress, and I feel the power of praise. But praise is not just "you are great!" "Very good" and "Great!" And other words that generally evaluate children's words and deeds. Children don't use such words. They probably think you are perfunctory. When I first entered the park, I didn't know how to communicate with children and how to praise them because of lack of practical experience. When I see children building beautiful houses on corner games, I always say to them, "What a wonderful xx!" " At first, the children were very happy. But after two or three times, the children didn't respond to my praise, and sometimes they just looked at me with no expression, which made me feel embarrassed. I began to reflect on the children's reaction. Are they indifferent to the teacher's praise or are they "numb" to the teacher's praise? In the process of contact with children, I found that children are still very concerned about teachers' praise and praise, but inappropriate "praise" by teachers will make children suspicious. For example, building blocks, I just praised the children for doing well, but did not point out what is good. Children will doubt such praise. "Is the teacher praising me?" Am I a good rider? Praise without specific direction will make them "tired". Therefore, I will practice how to praise children in a targeted manner. I will quietly observe their performance in the usual activities, and then think about how to praise her, so that I can effectively praise the children in the next activities.
Praise is beautiful, loved by children and actively wanted by children, but I have struggled and hesitated: is praise restricted again? What kind of degree do you want?
Once, the grandmother of one of our children came to me and said; "Teacher, can you send a small sticker to our home this afternoon? Our family Qiqi has been studying for several days. " Qiqi is a very clever girl, and she performs well in all aspects. Teachers and children like her very much. She often gets praise or stickers from teachers, but after one thing, I began to think about whether to praise her often. When I came one morning, the children were playing on the slide. Qiqi ran on the slide, bumped into children and fell on the slide. I looked, and there was no bruise. Looking at Qiqi's frightened eyes, I just said, "Slow down." Before lunch, the children washed their hands and the ground was wet. I reminded them to walk slowly back to the classroom and she ran back. I just asked her to come back and leave, and she "cried". In this case, I thought about it. Is it true that kindergarten teachers always give positive praise? She can't accept the inappropriateness pointed out by the teacher. Should frustration education be carried out? So when I praised my child, I "deliberately" ignored her. Whenever I see her eyes eager to be praised by the teacher, my heart is also very entangled. She did really well. Should I continue to ignore her? In repeated struggles, I found myself wrong. Just as adults like to be praised by others, we are eager to be praised for the beauty of our newly bought skirts and newly cut hair, so are children, especially teachers. Every child should be praised. They want their teachers to see their every progress and every good thing, and their praise is their "feedback". In this case, I didn't do well enough. Because Kiki is a clever girl, I usually pretend not to see anything that she doesn't do well enough. It was the teacher's behavior that made Qiqi cry. Therefore, the child's misconduct should also be given timely feedback, and she should not be "indulged" because she is a good girl, which is unfair to other children and unfair to her. Teachers praise or point out inappropriate places for children, only for children's current behavior, not for children themselves.
After seeing my child's little progress, I started a plan: a praise every day. A trivial compliment to an adult may excite a child for a day or a long time. We shouldn't be stingy with our praise. Children warm my heart with their sweet smiles every day. I also want to discover their beauty with my eyes, praise them with my mouth and bring them a little sweetness every day. It may be a little difficult for a new teacher to praise every child every day, but I want to do it bit by bit. Maybe from now on, I can only pay attention to 10 children a day. Slowly, more and more children will be praised, and every little change of children will be discovered more and more carefully. From the child's point of view, express your true feelings appropriately and pertinently, and the child can feel the teacher's heartfelt praise.
