Reflection on the Spirit of Unity of Knowing and Doing (1)
This article was written 20 years ago. It says that there were not enough domestic students at that time? Know something? Spirit, but now, I think this spirit is still lacking.
The article says that students in China often get full marks in homework exams, but they can learn very little in real life. That's what I am. I have done well in my study exams, but I basically have no ability to live independently. I also want to change and learn some life skills, but because of the pressure of further study, I have a lot of homework every day and I can't spare time at all.
The article also said that China students are only abstract thinking theories and lack practical ability, so am I. I have memorized all those messy physical and chemical theorems, but how did I get them? I don't know. I just look at the experiments and illustrations in the textbook to guess, instead of going to the laboratory to do the experiments myself. It is not that we don't want to go, but that we have no time to study. Therefore, the experiment mentioned in this paper should be done actively, not passively, and we will not do it well.
It is mentioned in the article that learning is to adapt to a social system, and I think it is also the case now, because many historical politics are policies that praise the ruling party.
Ding Zhaozhong proposed it 20 years ago? Should have the spirit of governor? In fact, as early as more than 2000 years ago, the doctrine of the mean and the university have been put forward, and now I think it is still slightly lacking.
In my opinion, the knowledge of theorem learning is not only for exams, but also should be applied to life. Know something? China spirit is very important, and I think China will have it sooner or later.
Review on the Spirit of Understanding Things (2)
I feel the same way after reading Mr. Ding Zhaozhong's article "Understanding the Spirit of Things". I realize that our students do have many shortcomings in their learning methods, but I think Mr. Ding is wrong. Know something? I still have doubts about my understanding, so I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about my personal views.
The article says? Really? What is an understanding of things? Get knowledge from the object of exploration and think that knowledge is knowledge? Our so-called experiment? . When translating and commenting on The University, Han clearly pointed out that the original text of The University was wrong. Know something? To this end, the ancients also put forward many different opinions, and even Dali scholar Zhu devoted himself to this. Know something? Make up a paper. However, no one dares to say his? Know something? Is it true?/You don't say. Know something? So how do you describe Mr. Ding who didn't study Confucianism deeply? Really? what's up Know something? And then what? I really can't agree with this.
And I'm afraid that Mr. Yangming, who works diligently, has been wronged. Mr. Ding thinks he? Zhuge seven days without a positive result? Because of him? Explore the outside world? I mistakenly thought I was discussing myself, and then I said it again? Zhuge? Should it be? Plant bamboo to study its growth process. Do you want to cut off the leaves and take them under the microscope? These words are really speechless. I think Miss Ding has probably confused the concepts of philosophy and practice. Confucianism is undoubtedly a kind of philosophy, and philosophy is a kind of ideological embodiment from the inside out, which is completely different from the practice from the outside in. In the words of oakeshott, a political philosopher, philosophy is a theoretical theory, which is highly abstract and divorced from practice. Its purpose is to understand the world rather than change it. When it is translated into practice, it loses its academic character as a scholar. In other words, philosophy itself should give priority to exploring itself before pushing others. So what does it matter? Planting? And then what? Put it under the microscope? What's the point? It's ridiculous to think about it.
Finally,? The truth in the scriptures can be pushed to the four seas and spread to all generations? It was also denied by Mr. Ding that this view is not applicable to today, which also confuses the concept. What if Marxism-Leninism is not passed down? Four seas? People of China, how can socialism be today? Great career? And then what? What does Mr. Ding call it? Today? I'm afraid it can only refer to practical science that attaches importance to facts. A hundred schools of thought contend? As far as philosophy is concerned, truth can always spread to? Four seas? 、? Forever? Yes
In this way, Mr. Ding's attitude towards Confucianism is really incredible. So Mr. Ding's? Know something? Is it completely wrong? Not exactly. Judging from Mr. Ding's achievements, his views are necessarily desirable. I don't understand practical learning, but I think Mr. Ding's attitude towards practice is absolutely commendable, and the problem of learning methods is indeed common in China. It's admirable that Mr. Ding Can has given the solution in general. But we should also correct Mr. Ding's imprecise attitude towards knowledge.
So, what is real? Know something? And then what? I am incompetent and short-sighted, and dare not jump to conclusions, but I still have some ideas after all. Always be curious about things and study hard. I think this is probably true? Know something? Yes So, as long as we stick to the attitude of seeking knowledge, I believe that one day? Know something? The true meaning of will surfaced.
Reflection on the spirit of knowing things (3)
Mr Ding Zhaozhong's article entitled "Knowing Man's Spirit by Things" mainly talks about how students in China should learn (understand) natural science. Teacher Ding thinks that we should use the spirit of knowing with things. After putting forward the topic, he started with the traditional education in China, talked about the disadvantages of the traditional education in China, and then talked about the importance of experimental spirit. Then he talked about the current situation that China students don't attach importance to the real spirit of knowing people by things, and analyzed it with his own experience. Finally, he talked about the truth of knowing the spirit by things.
When preparing lessons, I have such a question. Since I know the disadvantages of our education system and the importance and universality of experimental spirit, why do so many people complain about the current education system? In the process of education, why are students deprived of the process of exploration? Really put the child in the classroom, can he learn well and be in line with international standards? We attach importance to imparting knowledge and experience, but ignore children's subjective initiative in learning. I think of a training many years ago, which was about the exploration of memory effect. Generally speaking, it is to ask what method will make the memory effect better, among which experiment is an effective way to make students remember particularly well after hands-on operation. However, the current educational system reform is not perfect. What should teachers and students do?
Reflections on Understanding the Spirit of Things (4)
If you look at everything in a stupefied way, I don't think the result is as perfect as you think. On the contrary, if you play with your brain and your hands, you may get more beautiful results.
Knowing things is to acquire knowledge by exploring objects. The traditional education in China does not pay much attention to the consideration of things and knowledge. Like those people abroad, they will be flexible in whatever they do. However, they know that this method is perfect, and their brains and hands are working, so thinking will be very simple. Those people abroad, when they were young, would practice with their own hands and acquire knowledge under the guidance of their teachers. The significance of grasping things and learning knowledge has not been submerged by those practitioners who love to do it, but for the traditional education in China, the significance of grasping things and learning knowledge has been submerged.
Wang Yangming, a theorist of the Ming Dynasty, has a clever brain, but has no hobby of hands-on practice. His thoughts can represent the traditional Confucian attitude towards experiments. Once again, Wang Yangming followed the instructions of the university from? Wu Ge? Do it. Did he decide to accept it? Ge? Bamboo in the yard, he moved a bench and sat in the yard, looking at bamboo and thinking hard for seven days, but there was no good answer. He didn't practice it personally, but tried his own mind to think hard, but found nothing, and finally failed because of a headache. Obviously, he mistook exploring the outside world for exploring himself.
Wang Yangming's practice was obviously understandable to many people in the society at that time. If we want to observe the structure of bamboo or its growth process, we must cut off the leaves by hand and take them under the microscope for further observation. This is by no means Rainbow Yangming sitting on the bench thinking, standing aside is absolutely impossible to get the ideal result.
Practice is not a random test, it needs to be prepared and planned in advance. To have a correct goal as the clear center of the whole experiment, a successful experiment needs the experimenter's eyesight, perseverance and courage.
You should not blindly accept authority, but have your own thinking and judgment. The purpose of learning from the scriptures is to make people sincere, upright, cultivate one's morality, keep the family in order and govern the country, so as to pursue the highest ideal of Confucianism-to level the world. Each of us should have the spirit of understanding things.
Further reading: the original text should have the spirit of governor.
I am honored to accept the award from Outlook Weekly? Love China? Special honor award for thesis writing. My father was brought up with a traditional education in China. My education was partly traditional and partly western. In memory of my father, I wrote the article Reminiscence. Over the years, I have come into contact with many China students at school, so I would like to take this opportunity to talk with you about how China students studying natural science should understand natural science.
What is the most important book in traditional education in China? Four books? . ? Four books? One of them, University, said: What is the starting point of a person's education? Wu Ge? And then what? Zhi Zhi? . In other words, knowledge is obtained from the object of exploration. It is no longer appropriate to use this word to describe modern academic development. The foundation of modern scholarship is field exploration, which is what we now call experiment.
However, traditional education in China does not attach importance to real things and knowledge. This may be because the purpose of traditional education is not to seek new knowledge, but to adapt to a fixed social system. "University" itself says that the purpose of learning knowledge from things is to make people reach the fields of sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order and governing the country, so as to pursue the highest ideal of Confucianism? Flatten the world. Because of this, the true meaning of knowing things is buried.
Everyone knows Wang Yangming, a theorist of the Ming Dynasty, whose thoughts can represent the traditional Confucian attitude towards experiments. One day, Wang Yangming will follow the instructions of the university from? Wu Ge? Do it. Did he decide to accept it? Ge? Bamboo in the yard. So he moved a stool and sat in the yard, thinking hard about bamboo for seven days, and failed because of a headache. This gentleman obviously mistook exploring the outside world for exploring himself.
Wang Yangming's point of view was understandable in the social environment at that time. Because the traditional view of Confucianism holds that there is an unchangeable truth in the world, and what is truth? Saint? I learned it from the heart. When the saints know the truth, they pass it on to ordinary people. So the truth in the Bible is ok? Push it all over the world and spread it all over the world? Yes Experience tells us that this view is not applicable to today's world.
I am a student of science. Let me talk about the importance of experimental spirit in science.
The history of scientific progress tells us that new knowledge can only be obtained through field experiments, not through introspection or philosophical empty talk.
The process of experiment is not passive observation, but active and planned detection. For example, if we want to understand the nature of bamboo, we must plant bamboo specially to study its growth process, and we must cut off the leaves and observe them under the microscope. We can never gain knowledge by standing by.
The process of the experiment is not an indiscriminate measurement, it needs careful and specific planning. It is particularly important to have a suitable goal to guide the whole exploration process. As for how to choose this goal, it depends on the judgment and inspiration of the experimenter. A successful experiment needs foresight, courage and perseverance.
It can be understood why breakthroughs in basic knowledge are not common. We can also understand why academic progress in history only depends on the key discoveries of a few people.
Today, Wang Yangming's thoughts continue to support the thoughts of some China scholars. Because of this cultural background, most students in China tend to be theoretical and despise experiments, and tend to think abstractly instead of doing it. Students in China often do well in their homework and get nearly 65,438+000 points in the exam, but they are often at a loss when faced with research work that needs ideas.
I have personal experience to prove this. I received a traditional education since I was a child. Going to an American university to study physics, I thought at first that as long as it was very? Study hard? If you follow the teacher's guidance, everything can be smooth sailing, but this is not the case. At the beginning of my research, I found that I can't just rely on teachers, I need to put forward my own opinions and ideas. At that time, I didn't know how much I suffered because I didn't prepare in advance. What made me hesitate and panic the most was the only way at that time? Burying oneself in reading and dealing with everything is of no help to the actual needs.
I think the true spirit of understanding things is indispensable not only in academic research, but also in coping with today's world environment. In today's general education, we need to cultivate experimental spirit. In other words, whether studying science, humanities or personal actions, we should keep a skeptical and realistic attitude and rely on practice to discover the truth of things. Nowadays, the world and social environment are changing rapidly. The communication between different cultures in the world is getting closer and closer. We can't blindly accept the truth we thought in the past, nor can we wait? Academic authority? Description. We should have our own judgment. In today's drastic environmental changes, we should re-recognize the true meaning of things by studying the things in the scriptures thousands of years ago. This meaning has two aspects: first, the only way to seek truth is to explore things objectively; Second, the process of exploration is not passive and passive, but imaginative and planned exploration. I hope that our generation will have a new understanding and thinking about the concept of "matter and knowledge", so that the experimental spirit can truly become a part of China culture.
