Appreciation of the original text: Shi Shuo is a famous argumentative essay of Han Yu, with outstanding viewpoints and strong practical pertinence. In this argumentative essay, the author affirmed the nature and function of being a teacher, discussed the important significance and correct principles of being a teacher, and criticized the common bad habit of not paying attention to the teacher's way at that time. This article is written for Li Pan. In fact, it is to crack down on those literati who are attached to famous families, refuse to learn from others or even laugh at others. It plays a unique role in criticizing the current disadvantages. The author shows that anyone can be his own teacher and should not refuse to learn modestly because of status or age difference. At the end of the article, Confucius testified with his own words and deeds, explaining that seeking advice and attaching importance to Taoism is a practice since ancient times, and people should not abandon the ancient road at that time. The article embodies extraordinary courage and fighting spirit, and also shows the author's spirit of expressing opinions independently regardless of the secular world, and promotes the social atmosphere of being willing to learn from teachers and being good at learning.
