First, the main characteristics of contemporary China campus culture
It is generally believed that campus culture should include broad sense and narrow sense. Broadly speaking, campus culture is the sum of the existing ways of school life, including intelligent culture, material culture, normative culture and spiritual culture. In a narrow sense, the campus culture of colleges and universities is a high generalization of the value orientation, campus spirit, school spirit, teaching style, study style, academic tradition and behavior style with school characteristics, which is gradually formed by teachers and students in the long-term teaching, scientific research, learning, management and communication. With the changes of the times, campus culture, as a social subculture, presents many distinctive features today, which can be summarized as follows:
(1) Mega-group: The scale of modern universities is constantly expanding, and the number of teachers and students in universities ranges from thousands to tens of thousands. The campus culture created by this mega-group is also quite group-oriented. Due to the large number of people involved in the construction of campus culture and the high frequency of communication among members, their spiritual tendencies reflected in different activities are often easy to infect or criticize each other. A trend of thought, a concept of value and a fashion on campus are often the result of psychological collision, reaction and even intersection and integration of thousands of people.
(2) comprehensiveness: there are many disciplines and specialties in universities, with rich talents, active thinking, diverse activities and diverse cultural carriers. After mutual integration, the culture here must be comprehensive. The comprehensiveness of university campus culture is mainly through the diversity of disciplines; The diversity of ideas and behaviors brought by the extensiveness of teachers and students; Differences in academic views; Diversity of teaching behavior; The richness of student activities is reflected. Although so many elements are different from each other, each element will form a multi-element cultural complex after a period of blending under the same function of campus as the carrier. This cultural complex has good openness and inclusiveness, can adapt to the existence of different cultural forms and elements in this complex, and is more inclusive than social and cultural carriers.
(3) Duality: Campus culture, as a part of society and a subculture of social culture, is influenced by both society and the school itself. First of all, the values, behaviors and ways of thinking in the social environment are more and more directly and obviously affecting campus culture in today's era of marketization, informationization and globalization, making campus culture more and more active and open, and some corrosive ideas are slowly infiltrating into this pure cultural system; Secondly, more importantly, campus culture is directly influenced by the school's own school-running concept, development direction, historical tradition, educational facilities and teachers' and students' behavior concepts.
(4) Elegance: Teachers and students in colleges and universities have a high level of cultural cognition and moral aesthetics, so the campus culture they create has the characteristics of high taste as a whole. This feature is mainly reflected in the scientific research and teaching activities of universities with high theoretical level, as well as a series of humanities lectures, various national or international academic conferences, various academic salons, poetry calligraphy exhibitions, elegant art entering the campus and other cultural activities and manifestations. In particular, it is worth pointing out that the elegance of campus culture is also widely reflected in the unique campus landscape environment, unique campus architectural design, unique landscape settings and rich scholarly atmosphere.
(5) Orientation: Another major difference between campus culture and social culture is the orientation of the affected people. Campus culture has its specific carrier-campus, so the people it affects are students living in it, with a very specific crowd, but its influence on people outside the campus is limited, so campus culture shows a strong orientation.
Second, campus culture shapes the personality of college students.
Compared with other cultures, campus culture has its own characteristics, which has an extremely important influence on students living in it and plays a direct role in the formation of students' values, ways of thinking, ways of behavior and psychological characteristics. The shaping of personality by campus culture can be summarized as: 1, shaping the world outlook and values:
The basic function of campus culture is educational function, that is, to cultivate socialist builders and successors with ideals, morality, culture and discipline, and to help college students form a correct world outlook and values that meet the needs of contemporary society. First of all, college teachers are one of the main bodies of moral education in colleges and universities, and they are the direct role of students in forming a value system. Because of this, in the process of college education, we should pay special attention to the quality of teachers, especially the ideological and political quality. Secondly, college students' world outlook and values are also closely related to the overall value orientation and academic and cultural atmosphere of the campus. Adolescent college students are easily influenced by the external environment, especially the campus environment, and easily accept new knowledge and things from the outside world, but at the same time they lack the ability to distinguish and often do not consider the consequences. As the saying goes, "the power of example is infinite", we should set an example on campus, conduct demonstration education through example, and guide many students to form correct values. The fine tradition of education leading by example and covering all aspects should be persisted and innovated in the future education process.
2, shaping the way of thinking:
Campus culture will have a great influence on the way of thinking of college students. For example, different universities and different disciplines often cultivate students' thinking in different ways because of different theoretical frameworks. Students in science and engineering colleges emphasize logical thinking, while students in liberal arts colleges are good at divergent thinking.
3, the way of shaping behavior habits:
School rules and discipline belong to the institutional culture in campus culture, which plays a guiding and standardizing role in college students' behavior habits and methods. Institutional culture reflects the cultural norms of campus, and plays a normative role while guiding, standardizing and restraining students. On the one hand, college students should learn knowledge, on the other hand, they should learn to be a socialized person, and constantly develop and improve themselves in thought and behavior according to the needs of the country and society. School system construction plays a vital role in the realization of this goal. The shaping of college students' behavior by campus institutional culture permeates all aspects of college life, such as college students' daily life, teaching, interpersonal communication and extracurricular activities.
4, the shaping of psychological characteristics:
Campus culture exerts a subtle influence on college students' way of thinking and their physical and mental development. On the one hand, by carrying out various positive campus cultural activities, we can meet the needs of campus subjects for aggregation and belonging, and promote the coordinated development of physical and mental health; On the other hand, college students are in the high-energy zone of psychological energy. If they can't release energy in time and smoothly, they will cause psychological diseases, such as anxiety, autism and paranoia. Interpersonal relationship is an important part of college students' life. Whether this relationship is handled well or not will directly affect the interpersonal environment of students. Campus cultural activities play an irreplaceable role in improving college students' psychological quality and adjusting their psychological state.
Third, summary.
As an important part of socialist culture, campus culture in colleges and universities has many educational functions. The material culture, institutional culture and spiritual culture of college campus play an irreplaceable role in cultivating college students' character, behavior norms and shaping their personality, which is often accompanied by an individual's lifelong development. However, in the real society, there are a series of problems in the development of campus culture, such as ignoring traditional education, mixing good and bad campus culture, and attaching importance to material culture construction and neglecting spiritual culture construction. In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, issues such as "cultural development and prosperity", "cultural lifestyle" and "promoting Chinese culture and building the spiritual home of the Chinese nation" were put forward for the first time. As the frontier of cultural development, colleges and universities should consciously shoulder the banner of cultural development, attach importance to campus culture, and develop and optimize campus culture.
