In the sense of educating people, the life realm of teachers can be divided into natural realm, utilitarian realm, moral realm and humanistic realm. The higher the life realm pursued by a teacher, the higher the life realm of the new generation he cultivated.
If a teacher can only follow the teacher's instinct and social atmosphere, and all he does is let nature take its course, then his life realm is the natural realm. If a teacher's motivation is utilitarian, teaching is to make a living, making up lessons is to pay, the college entrance examination is to get extra points, writing papers is to promote, and so on. Then his realm of life is utility. If a teacher realizes that he is a member of the education front, consciously does education and teaching work for the benefit of students, is responsible for students, and everything he does is moral and meaningful, then his life realm is moral realm. If a teacher realizes that there is a bigger whole besides the whole teacher, that he is not only a member of the education front, but also a member of the whole society and all mankind, and consciously does meaningful things for the interests of society and mankind, then he has entered a higher realm of life, that is, the realm of mankind. These are the four realms of being a teacher.
