These days, the music world is spreading a message:
The Shanghai Conservatory of Music is about to tear down the wall!
The Youth Daily Shanghai reporter learned that the news is true, which is also one of the overall plans of Shangyin.
At present, the school is demolishing the wall, and there will be a period of time to carry out green paving maintenance, etc., and the official opening date has not yet been finalized.
Before the epidemic, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music has always advocated "using art to serve the society and the public". A sentence that Liao Changyong, the dean of Shangyin, often said was: "Shangyin must break the barriers between the campus and society." ”
In the spring of Shanghai every year, the Shanghai Music Association specially holds a "Music Open Week", opening the school door to invite the public to enter the campus, feel the ubiquitous music culture, and even take music classes with students, witness master's and doctoral thesis defense.
In addition, The traditional popular brand of Shangyin", "Shangyin Zhongle" series of concerts, has been held in the He Luting Concert Hall on campus before the epidemic, and after the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, this series of concerts has also specially invited the public to return to the He Luting Concert Hall - it can be said that "going to the citizens" has always been the original intention of Shangyin.
The psychological "wall" has long been broken, and now in response to the call for the combination of culture and tourism, Shangyin has begun to actively promote the demolition of the "physical level" wall. In fact, because the Shangyin campus is "pocket-sized", there are not many walls, and many of them are very charming buildings that serve as walls: there are both historical protection buildings such as the "Old Library Building" and new landmarks of international standards such as the Shangyin Opera House, and the demolition of the wall has little impact on them, but it will be more convenient for citizens to enter the campus in the future.
Today is the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
The Fifth Meeting of the 13th Shanghai Municipal Committee
Opening day
Convener of the education sector of the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
Deputy Director of the Commission on Unesco, Science, Culture, Health and Sports
Ding Xiaodong, President of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology
In an exclusive interview with reporters at the scene of the "two sessions", he said
Colleges and universities breaking down walls will be "a trend"
More than just tangible "walls"
There are also invisible "walls"
Ding Xiaodong
"Breaking the wall" to open the campus must have institutional guarantees
Breaking down walls in colleges and universities currently appears to be a trend
However, in terms of institutional guarantees, it is also necessary to follow up synchronously
The above science and engineering as an example, because the campus is facing the street, after breaking the wall, the school's road will be transformed into a social public road, road traffic safety management, school public facilities protection, student accommodation and teaching safety, etc., all need to be clarified in the management responsibility, there is a certain institutional arrangement. "At present, Yangpu District and the city are discussing with the school to see how to do it specifically and discuss how to make proper and reasonable arrangements in the system and strategy."
In his view, the campus building is a government asset, and Shanghai has also nurtured the school, so that teachers and students have a beautiful environment, and these beautiful resources are open and shared with the public, which is deserved. The premise is that there is a balance between openness and security and stability guarantees, and comprehensive institutional guarantees are needed.
"Our campus is very beautiful, a lot of movies come to shoot, you have time to come and see." Member Ding Xiaodong told reporters this. According to reports, at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, there are 38 historically protected buildings, which are national historical relics protection units. The Gothic architecture of the Jungong Road Campus and the Prussian style architecture of the Fuxing Road Campus blend together, showing the beauty of what is the combination of East and West.
In fact, there is a beginning of openness. "Although we have not demolished the wall at present, some of our campus facilities have opened their doors to the public before the epidemic." Member Ding Xiaodong told reporters that for example, in the school playground, before the epidemic, many citizens would come to run and exercise every morning. In the future, when the wall is really opened, such a building can be readable and may benefit more people outside the campus.
"Pig nose" girls benefit from the education of people without "walls"
The tangible "wall" is expected to be broken
In educating people, there should be no "walls"
Chang Shuyue
Chang Shuyue, an undergraduate student in the School of Materials and Chemistry at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, innovatively proposed the "pig nose" nanostructure in her junior year and published two SCI papers as the first author. Chang Shuyue, a female student with a "pig nose", was able to participate in scientific research projects during her undergraduate years, benefiting from the "project curriculum" opened by the school.
Member Ding Xiaodong said: "These project courses are open to the whole university, undergraduate students can form an integrated academic community with master's students and doctoral students, follow the tutor to do projects, so that more undergraduate students interested in scientific research projects have the opportunity to develop." "Eclectic, let the development of students more personality and more vitality."
"In fact, in our school, there are many students with more papers and higher quality than this hot search girl, but she has a characteristic, that is, comprehensive development." Member Ding Xiaodong told reporters. "She not only studies well, but also is particularly good at sports, knows taekwondo, and has a great understanding of beauty." You see that she will call the object of study 'pig nose', which is very vivid. Member Ding Xiaodong said that all-round development and physical and mental health are also elements that schools pay special attention to when cultivating students.
For example, aesthetic education, the Upper Polytechnic attaches great importance to this. In the view of Member Ding Xiaodong, aesthetic education is even more important for students in engineering schools. In last year's sixth national college students' art exhibition and performance activities, "Spring Return" performed by the students of Shanghai Polytechnic Won the First Prize and the Excellent Creation Award in the Art Performance Category, achieving a historic breakthrough, which is also one of the achievements of the reform of the humanistic literacy education system continuously promoted by the school.
"Engineering students deal with machines all day long, deal with production lines, are rigid, mechanical, and obey the rules, so of course it is not bad, but at the same time there should be emotional things, open emotions that can communicate with society, are good at expression, have the ability to discover and appreciate beauty, such education, for the personality growth of engineering students will be a better supplement."
"Grassroots cells" lay solid bricks for young top talents
There is no "wall", but also a solid bottom brick
As for how Shanghai can attract the world's top talents, member Ding Xiaodong believes that in addition to making use of Shanghai's comprehensive advantages, it is also necessary to introduce "grass-roots cells" to build a solid foundation for the stability of top talents.
"A lot of top talents come, and they need some assistants with specialized characteristics to assist, which requires starting up and down." He said that top talents are easier to see and discover through the government and through industry departments, but around their development to create an "ecology", where are the talents in this "ecosystem"? This requires the role of research groups, teams, teaching and research departments, and disciplines in the school.
"Only by linking up and down and giving full play to the vitality and role of 'grassroots cells' in the introduction of talents can top talents play more roles." Member Ding Xiaodong said that when the channel is opened and leading talents are introduced, a small team is formed around them, which can also drive the growth and exercise of more young talents, so that the team can educate people and form a healthy cycle.
As for the cultivation of young talents in schools, Member Ding Xiaodong said that the first three years were very important. "The young teachers in our school, before coming in, adopted the teaching assistant system for the first two years, did not attend classes, listened to classes in the first year, and took one or two classes in the second year. We also have to train him to be a mentor, how to engage in scientific research, how to apply for funds, and these three years must enrich him. He said that if young teachers are busy with complicated teaching affairs as soon as they come in, their teaching skills are not solid, but they lead to incorrect teaching, and at the same time, under the squeeze of busy teaching tasks, often their own studies and scientific research may also be abandoned.
Youth Times
Breaking the "wall" of educating people is a deeper "openness"
An undergraduate student, because of the publication of SCI papers on the hot search, and her president more important is her ability to feel the beauty of the ability and healthy body and mind. This also makes the school more determined, breaking the "wall" in educating people, dismantling the fence, and integrating with each other. "Engineering students should pay more attention to aesthetic education", which may be the most simple embodiment of how to cultivate more "healthy" people under modern education.
Looking at ancient and modern China and abroad, many "everyone" has never been confined to one side. Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who is famous for his astronomy, in addition to being the founding father of astronomy and loves mathematics, is also a "literary and artistic youth", who is similar to Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, and Ban Gu and is called "the four masters of Han Fu". Qian Xuesen, winner of the Medal of Merit for Two Bombs and One Star in China, is well-known in the aerospace industry, and is also very insightful in philosophy and humanities, and has co-authored works on music with his wife. George Sutton, the father of contemporary science history, has been building bridges between the natural sciences and the humanities all his life, and he is good at 14 languages, integrating literature, philosophy, mathematics, and chemistry, and is therefore known as "the most knowledgeable scholar".
It is precisely because of the penetration of literature and science, never "building walls" for themselves, that they can open up a new atmosphere in their respective research fields. The famous "Zhu Kezhen Curve", which depicts China's climate change for 5,000 years, was finally drawn by this meteorologist who spent most of his life reading a large number of ancient classics, including the "History of History", "Siku Quanshu", and various local chronicles, stripping away the cocoon from them, and combining his profound knowledge of climatology and geography. In the words of modern people, he not only understands astronomical geography and historical customs, but also is a "big data expert".
5G, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing... A new round of scientific and technological revolution is rapidly changing people's way of life and way of thinking, the boundaries between knowledge are more blurred, to adapt to such a new era, it is also necessary for the young generation to have a more solid basic theory, a broader vision, and a richer spiritual connotation.
For colleges and universities, this is a new challenge for educating people. No discipline is isolated, and no discipline develops behind closed doors that I appreciate. The "four new" construction of new engineering, new medicine, new agriculture and new liberal arts construction that the country began in 2019 has initially broken through the discipline barriers and promoted the integration of disciplines. In the future, more innovative "cross-border" will surely become a trend. The demolition of tangible walls is sharing; the removal of invisible "walls" between disciplines and academic levels is a deeper level of openness.
