"A thousand teachers teach people to seek truth, and every student learns to be a man" is to teach people with truth and influence students to learn to be a man. This is Tao Zhihang's famous saying and educational view. Truth is more important than anything else. The word "truth" cleanses the dirt of the falsity and hypocrisy of feudal education in China in recent years, and points out the most important and essential attribute of modern education.

Teachers, as practitioners of modern progressive education thought, should keep in mind Mr. Tao Xingzhi's words, teach students to seek truth, learn true skills, cultivate true morality, tell the truth, know true talents, do true things, pursue truth and be a real person. Take the word "truth" as the teaching book, teach books well and educate good people. Therefore, to teach people to seek truth and learn to be a man, we must start from seeking truth from teachers.
