Confucius, an ancient thinker and educator in China, believed that "teaching" was as important as "politics" and advocated the teaching of propriety and righteousness. Xunzi called Jun a teacher and thought that "if a country wants to be rich and strong, it must attach importance to teachers and fu". In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu said: "The world is not a teacher, and Taoism benefits from it." He believed that only by respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism can the whole society develop smoothly in the direction of Taoism. Su Shi said in Song Dynasty. Training talents plays an important role. There are many stories handed down in ancient times because they advocate respecting teachers and stressing morality. For example, Zi Gong respected his teacher, Zhao Wei respected his teacher, Li Shimin taught his son to respect his teacher, Sean respected his teacher, and Lv Dian searched for a teacher thousands of miles away. These stories vividly describe the process of students' unremitting efforts and sincere worship of teachers.
In modern times, respecting teachers and stressing morality has been further promoted. Proletarian revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Li Dazhao, Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi are all models of respecting teachers and valuing morality. As leaders, they hold discipleship ceremonies for their teachers. They are knowledgeable and versatile, but they are still open-minded and eager to learn from each other. They not only attach importance to the progress of learning, but also attach importance to the cultivation of morality and will.
Throughout the ages, respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality has become a tradition, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Especially after the founding of New China, in order to establish the political status of people's teachers, the state has decided to take 1985 as Teacher's Day every September. The Teachers' Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was passed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), came into effect from 1994 10. It is the first time in China's educational history to protect teachers' legal rights and improve their treatment and social status by legal means.
In order to inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting teachers and valuing morality, it is necessary to educate young students to respect teachers and valuing morality.
