The relationship between "fish" and "fishing" reflects the contradiction between the reality that China's education pays too much attention to knowledge transmission and ignores the cultivation of students' ability and the fundamental relationship between China's educational purpose of promoting students' all-round development.

There is an old saying in China that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. It is better to teach people how to learn knowledge than to teach them how to learn knowledge. The reason is actually very simple. Fish is the purpose, and fishing is the means. A fish can solve temporary hunger, but it can't solve long-term hunger. If you want to have fish to eat forever, you must learn how to fish.
