An apartment is a dormitory, and a student apartment is where students live. In the early 1980s, I was studying in a high school in Shenxian. My dormitory was equipped with a brick kang, which was later changed into an iron bed welded with steel bars. Students bring their own bedding and grass felt. In winter, they block windows with brick mud and use plastic sheets to keep out the cold. Mosquitoes are rampant in summer, which affects sleep from time to time. Because electricity is not normal, candles are usually used. Dormitory management is mainly self-management. Discipline and hygiene, including taking turns to carry urine buckets on duty, are arranged by the dormitory director. The class teacher or the teacher in the moral education office occasionally checks the dormitory discipline, asks about hygiene, and sometimes becomes a place to skip classes and eat. It was a student dormitory at that time, and the conditions were good. At that time, the school did its best to invest in the dormitory in terms of financial resources, material resources and management. This is the ideal residence for students in key middle schools at the county level, which their peers are eager for. At that time, the dormitory left beautiful and unforgettable memories for middle school students in the 1980s, and now a large number of college students have become the backbone of society.

With the development of society, the conditions for running schools in primary and secondary schools have improved significantly. Not only has the school built spacious and bright high-standard teaching buildings, but most schools have also built student apartments. It is called apartment because the accommodation conditions of students have been greatly improved, which can be compared with college students' apartments or hotels. Generally, apartments are equipped with balconies, beds, iron kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and rooms with fluorescent lamps. For standard rooms with 8, 4 or even 2 people, except bedding, sheets, quilts, pillows and washbasins are unified, and generally semi-militarized management is implemented. The windows are bright and clean, and there is no peculiar smell. The management is equipped with a full-time life teacher, who implements quantitative management, accompanied by people all day, always caring and considerate, and solves life problems. Conditions and management are not as good as before.

Advanced accommodation and management not only facilitate students, but also create a good living environment for them. At the same time, it is also very beneficial for students to develop orderly and regular living habits and clean and orderly hygiene habits.

How to make full use of the position of student apartments, enrich the connotation of apartment education and expand the channels of quality education, the practice of creating dormitory culture in Xinhua School in Shenxian County is a useful attempt.

Since its establishment, Xinhua School in Shenxian County has organized appraisal activities for the creation of apartment culture every year, with six purposes: First, to beautify and purify apartments and provide comfortable and harmonious rest environment for students. The second is to expand the educational space, endow students with cultural connotation, and let students grow up under the influence of healthy culture. Third, through the creation of apartment culture, students' awareness and ability of cooperation will be improved, their spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance will be enhanced, and the cohesion of classes, dormitories and other groups will be enhanced. Fourth, practice exercises students' design innovation ability. The fifth is to publicize students' personality and enliven school life. Sixth, creating a warm home for students and cultivating the consciousness and thought of taking school as home are very beneficial to students' psychological stability.

The planning of building apartment culture is very important. For example, the planning of Xinhua School apartment culture has defined the theme of "promoting students' personality, prospering apartment culture and creating a harmonious campus", put forward the slogan of "respecting beauty, health, friendliness and harmony", and established the activity concept of "enhancing the taste of apartments, enhancing cultural connotation, carrying forward the melody of the times, cherishing the friendship of classmates and creating a harmonious campus". For example, dormitory naming, calligraphy, painting, paper-cutting, origami, clip art, decorations, flower arrangement and so on all put forward specific requirements, all of which are made by students themselves to avoid similarities. The activity steps are divided into several stages: propaganda preparation, creation and implementation, inspection and evaluation, and reward and commendation.

Every time I visit dormitory culture, I am shocked by the artistic realm of modern education. Education is a painting, and our educators are painters, which makes the canvas of education full of rich artistic connotations. Education is a beautiful building, and we educators are architects, constantly contributing to this beautiful building; Education is a landscape, more beautiful because of the development of the times and the wisdom of educators. Today's students are happy, because they not only enjoy modern material civilization, but also enjoy high-quality educational civilization. This highly developed educational civilization is always laying the foundation for their future development. Under the influence of this civilization, our next generation will definitely build the motherland better!
