Idiom reading ｜ ＂Be a great teacher for students to learn, do things and be human＂

In China, the word "Mr." is a respectful name for highly respected and knowledgeable people, emphasizing a kind of cultivation, a kind of spirit and a kind of reverence. In the Book of Rites, the teacher was called "Mr.": "From Yu Xiansheng, talk to people without crossing the road. Being taught by the teacher, advancing with the trend, and standing upright and handing over "fully embodies the respect and worship of the ancients to the teacher." And "big" means that a person opens his hands and feet and stands tall. "Mr." is crowned with "big", which highlights the realm and style needed by a teacher.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized the standard of "Mr. Big", which is "a model for students to learn, do things and be human" and "a person who promotes students to grow into all-round development", and wants to "become a model respected by society and become an example for the world to follow".

The "greatness" of a gentleman lies not in the size of the school, nor in the high professional title, but in the depth of knowledge, high moral character and large pattern. Confucius, Zhu Xi, Han Yu in ancient times, Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, Tao Xingzhi, etc. all have profound insights and enthusiasm for the future of society, country, nation and mankind, and have become "big gentlemen" admired by the world.

The "greatness" of a gentleman lies in learning. Profound knowledge is the basis of becoming a "great gentleman", just as "the product of water is not thick, it is powerless to bear a big boat". Without solid knowledge, it is difficult to be a teacher.

How to achieve great learning? Only by knowing "small" can we become "big". Nowadays, in the era of "information explosion", teachers should not only have rich general knowledge and profound professional knowledge, but also aim at the forefront of academic development and social development and constantly update their knowledge reserves. Only by truly realizing one’s narrow vision and shallow knowledge, rather than being self-righteous and conceited, can one make continuous progress and breakthrough in learning and make one’s classroom deep, broad, thick and warm.

The "greatness" of a gentleman lies in his moral character. Without virtue, it is difficult to be a capitalized person without moral integrity. For education, moral education is the fundamental task.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed during his inspection tour of Renmin University of China that "for teachers, what kind of person they want to train their students to be, what kind of person they should be first". In the eyes of students, the teacher’s words and deeds have a great influence on students. Moral education is the foundation of education. Teachers should establish themselves, study and teach by virtue, and take the lead in setting an example in right and wrong, merits, good and evil, righteousness and interests, gains and losses, and lead students to form good moral quality.

The "big" of Mr. Wang lies in the pattern. As the saying goes, "Three-foot podium is the national luck, and the people’s souls are cast by candles all their lives." Teachers are responsible for cultivating new people of the times, and they must be mindful of the "country’s greatest" and have a good idea of it.

What is the "big country"? That is, "the country and the nation are in my heart", and I know exactly what to train, how to train people, and for whom. Today, there are more than 290 million students in all kinds of schools across the country, which are the main force to realize the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation, and more than 18 million teachers are the dream builders who build this "dream team". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zai said, "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, learn from the past, and create peace for all generations." Teachers should not only have such a state of mind, but also train students to undertake such historical and national responsibilities.

In recent years, a large number of outstanding teachers’ representatives have practiced what is "Mr. Big" and explained what is "learning to be a teacher and behaving in the world". From Zhang Guimei, who let "students have lights in the distance, roads under their feet and light in front of them", to Huang Danian, who spent his life practicing the oath of "revitalizing China is the responsibility of our generation"; From Li Baoguo, who took root in the mountains and wrote his papers on the land of the motherland, to Zhang Yugun &hellip, who carried hundreds of kilograms of textbooks over the mountains with a pole; … With persistence and dedication, they showed the noble quality and responsibility of "Mr. Da" in the new era, and gained numerous fruits and fragrant peaches and plums.

"It is lucky for a person to meet a good teacher in life. It is the glory of a school to have a good teacher. It is the hope of a nation to have a batch of good teachers." Teachers should always motivate themselves and spur themselves with the requirements of "Mr. Big" and be the "Mr. Big" for students to learn, do things and be human.

On the occasion of the 39th Teacher’s Day, let’s pay tribute to the teachers!
