University spirit, as an indispensable soft power, is the pillar and spiritual power of university survival, and also the reflection of the whole campus culture. The construction of campus culture, especially spiritual culture, is of great significance to the cultivation of university spirit. It is of great significance to clarify the relationship between university spirit and campus spiritual culture construction and strengthen campus spiritual culture construction for the current harmonious campus culture construction.
First, the meaning of university spirit
China? University? The word "universitas" comes from the Latin word "universitas", which has the same meaning as the ancient Greek academic circles. Student rally? Or? Teachers' meeting? . In the early days, universities were largely folk and spontaneous phenomena: numerous? Love wisdom? (Philosophia (1)) People gather in the city-state and hire wise men to impart knowledge to them. In order to obtain their own needs, both parties who impart knowledge and accept knowledge organize themselves into a kind of society, namely universitas. The modern university system was established with the deep participation of Humboldt in Germany and Newman in England. They think that tangible culture and social establishment are the external manifestations of intangible concepts and spirits, and culture and institutions are just walking dead without their internal spirits, so university spirit is the soul and life of a university. Only in the long-term process of running a school, through practicing one's own school-running concept, forming a unique value concept and rationally pursuing such a cohesive and centripetal university spirit, is the charm of a university and the driving force for its sustainable development.
There are many expressions about the basic connotation of university spirit in academic circles, and we prefer this definition: university spirit is the unique value orientation and development orientation of universities, and it is the basic belief, attitude and criterion for universities to take one action instead of another. From the initial development of the university, it is a place where people who love wisdom gather to study things related to the natural humanity of the universe. They are deeply surprised by the mystery of the universe and deeply worried about the fate and humanity of mankind. Therefore, we believe that the university spirit mainly includes the following two aspects.
1. Humanistic spirit. Renaissance is the period of the rise of modern universities. The liberation of human nature and deep concern for people were a main theme at that time, and universities were the representatives of humanistic spirit. Humanistic spirit is the universal self-care of human beings, the maintenance, pursuit and care of human dignity, value and destiny, and the shaping of ideal personality with all-round development. Since ancient times, this kind of university? People-oriented, sound personality? And then what? Freedom? Humanistic spirit has never changed. If a university lacks humanistic spirit, its students must be deformed people with only body and no soul. Just like the famous educator Mr. Cai Yuanpei? Implement complete personality education? Proposition:? People without complete personality want the country to be rich and strong, not only unattainable, but also worried about decline. ? Mr. Mei Yiqi insists on the keynote of "University": the way of a university is to be well-known, innovative and perfect. ? Universities should not only cultivate students' survival and development skills, but also cultivate their ways of interacting with people. Is that all? Not very practical? Humanities can give students a broad vision, broad mind and strong will, cultivate students' strong sense of social and historical responsibility, and finally make those? Practical? Learn from vulgarity and superficiality; And then what? Freedom of thought, tolerance? And then what? Tolerance, academic freedom? The spirit of academic independence is the humanistic spirit that universities must adhere to in the 2 1 century. University and society should always keep a distance, and universities should not simply be? Ivory tower? Or? Social service station? Universities can't stay out of the crowd, but they can't wander around blindly with the external social fashion. Universities should be the needles of the wind, be defensive, be persistent, and illuminate the direction of society with candles.
2. Scientific spirit. Universities should stick to their own behavior, fulfill the mission of leading social civilization and progress, and always hold high the scientific spirit in the process of pursuing truth. Scientific spirit is the value concept and orientation formed by people in the process of exploring scientific truth and understanding the essence, and it is the essence of scientific knowledge and scientific thought education. It mainly includes the spirit of seeking truth from facts, the spirit of seeking truth from facts, the spirit of cooperation, the spirit of criticism and dedication. Only by insisting on seeking truth from facts, thinking independently, not being bookish, not being confused by fame and fortune, being brave in innovation and constantly exploring knowledge can a university have fresh vitality and shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the society and promoting the development of modern civilization.
Second, the problems in the construction of spiritual culture in colleges and universities
University spirit is the soul and life of a university, but it is intangible, so it needs some external organizational systems, especially in the construction of university campus culture, and the construction of spiritual culture mainly plays a role through the formation and maturity of cultural elements such as university mission, school motto, school spirit and famous teacher culture. At present, the rapid development of universities, the arrival of the era of network information and the era of popularization all put forward new requirements for the construction of university culture. Many universities are influenced by social values such as pragmatism and utilitarianism, and the construction of campus culture tends to be secular and practical. There are some problems in the construction of university spiritual culture.
1. Misunderstanding of its status. In the continuous expansion and construction of the campus, it has fallen into the pursuit of scale and modern atmosphere, which makes the new campus out of touch with the cultural accumulation of the whole school. The lack of unique charm of university culture often leads some universities to lose their inherent characteristics and competitiveness. When evaluating the achievements of campus cultural construction, many schools talk about the simple material cultural construction. Campus culture is actually a kind of spirit from the heart, and excellent campus culture inevitably needs a unique spiritual guidance, which is a concentrated expression of campus personality style and group consciousness. Without campus spiritual and cultural construction, the simple material and cultural construction will lose the significance of cultural construction. However, the current situation of campus culture construction has generally deviated from this purpose, and the value, significance and function of campus culture have not been fully demonstrated, making campus spiritual and cultural construction a mere formality.
2. Underestimate the negative impact of the Internet age. 2 1 century is the era of network information, and the network has become the main field of college students' study and life. The fourth media? The reputation of the Internet has far exceeded the influence of newspapers, radio and other traditional media on college students. The construction of campus culture emphasizes the principle of ideological education, and the appearance of online media has changed this stable pattern. The freedom, openness and interaction shown by the Internet, a new cultural medium, enable more people to participate in the manufacturing of culture to the maximum extent. This freedom has brought equality and democracy, but it has also opened Pandora's box and brought disorder. Because network information is basically difficult to control and filter, some unscientific world views and values take the opportunity to occupy ideological positions, causing serious information pollution. At present, the research on the strong impact brought by the network is not enough, and there is still a lack of sufficient ideological and technical preparation on how to deal with the network culture and do a good job in spiritual and cultural construction.
3. The main force has not been fully mobilized, and the construction intensity and effect are not obvious. Spiritual culture is a kind of recessive culture, which acts on all aspects of teaching, scientific research and campus life, and is the core element of university culture construction and its sustainable development. As far as the main body involved in the construction is concerned, it is jointly created by the teachers and students of the whole school. However, due to the diversity of social values, there is an unhealthy atmosphere in colleges and universities at present, and individualism and pragmatism among teachers and students occupy a certain position. Teachers should be the guide and main force of campus culture, especially spiritual and cultural construction, but the influence of market economy makes some teachers lack the occupation of teaching and educating people; Under the pressure of post assessment, teachers are simply busy with completing the workload and writing papers, and there is less and less exchange of ideas with students, thus becoming marginal people and bystanders in campus spiritual and cultural construction.
4. The radiation effect is not prominent enough. Most colleges and universities have failed to form their own unique spiritual outlook, and the social radiation function of their spiritual construction has not been brought into play, which is confined to the campus and has not played a leading role in social trends. Colleges and universities are not only places to inherit culture, but also tentacles and channels to contact different cultures. Universities should be an important place to advocate correct norms and value orientation. The unique character with its own spiritual outlook and charm created through the joint efforts of teachers, students and staff of the whole school should play a good role in radiation in society. Let the light of university spirit penetrate the wall? .
Third, ways to strengthen spiritual and cultural construction in colleges and universities
1. Make clear the important position of spiritual and cultural construction and do a good job in cultural construction in a targeted manner. The construction of spiritual culture is the core and soul of cultural construction, and the construction of material culture and institutional culture should be carried out around the main axis of spiritual culture. Spiritual culture permeates all aspects of campus culture construction, not only the cultural activities of students, the construction of campus natural landscape or the construction of rules and regulations. Therefore, based on the motto and development orientation of colleges and universities, the idea and spirit of running a school can be imperceptibly infiltrated into material culture and institutional culture, such as school textbooks and campus planning, and its style should reflect the cultural spirit of the school; Some rules and regulations can also become the spiritual pillar of our school philosophy and motto; Systematize students' cultural activities and form brand characteristics; The school spirit, teaching spirit and study style are all guided by their own university spirit, thus internalizing the school's spiritual culture into the code of conduct of every teacher and student and creating a unique school spiritual culture.
2. Occupy the important ideological position of the network and give full play to the advantages of the network. It is an important task to give full play to the advantages of the network and seize the position of campus network culture. The construction of campus network culture should aim at forming a good school spirit, focus on promoting students' all-round development, guide teachers and students to establish correct network ethics, standardize online behavior and make rational use of network resources; It is necessary to improve the network system construction and investment in technical equipment, strengthen the supervision of campus networks and forums, join the propaganda of network moral education, analyze, identify and screen bad network information in time, and carry out network ideological work.
3. Explore the incentive and evaluation mechanism, and give play to the main role of spiritual and cultural construction. The main body of university spiritual culture construction is people living in universities, including management groups represented by presidents, teachers represented by professors and college students represented by outstanding college students. Among them, the teacher group is in the position of practicing the school-running concept and management concept, which has a very important guiding role for students and is the soul of the university. Visible field? Therefore, we should explore the corresponding incentive and evaluation mechanism to encourage teachers to actively participate in the construction of campus spiritual culture, such as incorporating teachers' guidance on students' cultural activities and scientific research projects into the corresponding reward or assessment system, encouraging teachers to play their keen ideological tentacles, broad knowledge horizons and personality charm, actively participate in the construction of campus culture, and practice their university spirit with the majority of students.
4. Pay attention to the social radiation function of spiritual culture. Known as? Social subculture? Our campus culture affects the social development track at a deeper level, which puts forward a series of new problems for the construction of campus spiritual culture: how to further push the university spiritual culture to the society and breathe with the whole; How to give full play to the advanced role of university spirit, so as to promote the development of the whole social culture to a high level and Gao Wenming. We should not only make the campus spiritual and cultural construction boldly go to the society and integrate with the whole social culture, but also pay attention to keeping some things that universities need to hold? Ivory tower? Characteristics, and then promote the development of the whole social culture in a healthy and civilized new direction.
Scientific spirit, utilitarianism or pragmatism may have gradually become the dominant social value today, and many universities have also been impacted by this social value, and education has begun to be excessively practical and instrumental. However, looking back on the development of universities, it is not difficult to find that famous universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard are still the source of innovative ideas in the world after centuries. Imperial College, Tokyo University and other universities can stand out among so many universities in the world, and the key is to adhere to the non-utilitarian culture to meet the challenges of the times. Therefore, no matter what era and how the society changes, modern universities should balance in two directions, not only to maintain the university as an ivory tower holy land for pursuing ideals, truth and knowledge, but also to closely integrate with the reality of modern society and maintain the modernity of universities. Like Paul? According to Schur, the myth of university is a reflection of reality and desire, and a mixture of pragmatism and idealism. Universities can't live without the adherents of the ivory tower spirit, and can't lack practical skills. If the ivory tower spirit, the university's spirit of seeking truth and knowledge, and the feeling of overlooking all beings are completely lost, and the fame and power of the world are lost, the university will only be an empty shell torn from the spirit; Of course, if there is no pragmatic strategy to survive in the WTO, universities will also lose themselves. Is this what modern universities are facing? Dilemma? Dilemma, a dilemma with no way out at both ends? .
