The iron tree blossomed

When I was a child, I often pestered my grandmother to tell me stories.

Once Grandma said: A long time ago, the son of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, --- Jingbi, loved to cause trouble in the human world, and disturbing the human world was his greatest happiness. One day, he came to the human world again to admire the beautiful woman, but he suddenly moved his heart, and he had to bring the beautiful woman who made her heart move back to the Dragon Palace and enjoy it himself. What I didn't expect was that the little girl not only did not comply, but also resisted with her family, and as a result, she provoked Jingbi, and in a fit of anger, the water flooded the mountain village and drowned many people.

When the news reached Ao Guang, Ao Guang was very angry, so he planted an iron tree on the seashore and sternly said to Ji Bi, when the iron tree blooms, you can go to the human world to walk around and see the scenery, and the rest of the time you are not allowed to endanger the people on the mainland. From the next time on, it is difficult to see Jing Bi to the human world.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, a farmer finished his farm work, hung his clothes and straw hat on the long-dead iron trunk, and jumped into the sea to take a bath. Before he could finish his bath, suddenly the clouds rolled, the wind blew, the sea rushed, the waves were raging, and the pouring rain followed, frightening the farmer half to death, climbing onto the shore, picking up his clothes and running. Didn't run far, the wind and rain dissipated, the waves subsided, and the clouds opened and the sun rose. Why this happened, the farmer wondered for a long time. Later, I learned that it was Jing Bi who thought that the iron tree had blossomed and urgently needed to go to the human world to see it, but later found that the flower was gone, so he retreated.

I asked Grandma how many years did the iron tree bloom? Grandma told me that a thousand years bloom and a thousand years bear fruit. Later, I asked my grandfather, but my grandfather told me that the iron tree does not blossom and bear fruit. I've been wondering why Grandpa and Grandma have different answers! Which answer is correct?

Until today, I finally understand, because the iron tree from birth to flowering and fruiting, it takes two thousand years, in the two thousand years of time and space tunnel, most of the things in the world are difficult to exist in their original appearance, including the iron tree is the same, can not withstand the torture of a thousand years of snow, rain, wind and frost has long died. The only constant thing in the world is change, human life expectancy is only a few decades, where can see the blossoming of the thousand-year-old iron tree, the result of the two-thousand-year-old iron tree. Not seeing does not mean that the iron tree does not flower and does not bear fruit. Both Grandpa and Grandma's answers make sense.

Like education and planting trees, we can plant many seeds in the hearts of students and pluck many grasses, but not every seed can germinate, and many of the grasses that are plucked will regenerate. Only students who have dreams, self-control, qualifications, and potential in their hearts can cover that seed and sprout! Which sprouts grow into large trees? That depends on who dares to fight in the sky, is willing to go through the baptism of snow, rain, wind and frost, and travels through time and space without changing their minds, in order to become a talent. Which trees can blossom and bear fruit depends on who can absorb the aura of heaven and earth and collect the essence of the sun and the moon before they can crystallize and precipitate fruits.

Confucius once said that education is "to cultivate oneself in order to reassure others." Supporting the lives of others, making others more at ease, and at the same time making themselves better, this is the highest state of education.

Can ordinary elite education really make everyone achieve such an effect? Especially with the advent of the era of industrialization and intelligence, people's lives and production methods have undergone subversive changes, people's access to nature and perception of nature, integration into society and perception of society has been greatly reduced, and people have less and less knowledge to personally perceive the natural world and integrate into society to form cognition. Almost all knowledge is acquired through books, online media, outdoor advertising or games.

Many students are not clear about the seasonal changes of the 24 solar terms, the classification of various plants, living habits, geographical distribution, living soil, humidity, temperature are not known, the season of sowing and harvesting of various vegetables is a mess, not to mention the recognition of the nutritional value of vegetables and the combination of diet.

There is also a lack of contact and perception of various animals, let alone understanding their living habits and life and death. Rarely participate in social practice and have real contact with society. How do you interact with people? How do you deal with the challenges you encounter? How to see the essence through the phenomenon? How to accurately guess the psychology of others? They are borrowed from the original cases of books, often self-defeating, not to mention that the origin of many of the knowledge left to us by the ancients no longer exists due to time and space changes, urbanization, and industrialization, and many people are like robots living in a vacuum, rarely or even unable to perceive the natural world and human society.

People's cognition of the world, in fact, has been from rational cognition to practice to perceptual cognition, from perceptual cognition to rational cognition of the cognitive law has been used backwards, thereby greatly weakening people's interest and fun in learning, increasing the difficulty and height of learning, no perception of cognition is boring, but also empty, boring, tasteless, is a castle in the air, easy to collapse.

The emergence of vocational education just fills this gap in the perception of general education. The internship practice of vocational education provides people with the opportunity to contact, understand and perceive nature and human society, and provides a basis and support for people to accurately understand nature and society. It also opens another door for students to become talented.

Vocational education is mainly aimed at the long-term pursuit of the cultivation of professional knowledge of elite talents in general education and neglect of morality, weakening of the body, music, beauty, lack of labor to open up a new idea of education. Vocational education is mainly to take the initiative to help students change their minds and change their minds in ideological education, help students change their minds and find directions in practical education, help students change their methods and find positions in skills education, train their ability to adapt to the environment in entrepreneurship education, and change the track to achieve goals in employment education.

The key point of vocational education is to help students fully understand their own strengths and weaknesses at the same time, accurately find the positioning of life, cultivate the ability to overcome shortcomings, carry forward the advantages, and enhance emotional intelligence, so that each student can choose the corresponding major according to their hobbies and strengths, and implement order-based training, internship and practice. Let students perceive in practice, learn in perception, and recognize nature and society in learning. Vocational education has opened up a new model of education in which learning is life, life is growth, and growth is society.

Whether it is general education or vocational education, education can not change everyone, can only change the people they want to change, education is not omnipotent, but no education is absolutely impossible, education must have the patience of protracted warfare and the flexibility of guerrilla warfare, education is the reflection of mankind after a long journey.

Although education can not make every student become an adult and blossom. But it can make children open their mouths and be happy. The practice and internship education of Xinyang Foreign-related Vocational and Technical College really made the millennium Iron Tree "open up". The following is the student record of the student internship and practice symposium of the foreign-related college, and everyone can get a glimpse of it:

Zheng Panpan: Through labor practice, I have improved my understanding of society, have team spirit, have a sense of gratitude, know that it is not easy to send money in my daily life, and learn to be grateful, grateful, and repay, especially grateful to my parents.

Li Wenling: I am very touched to recognize that the epidemic is ruthless and compassionate, and the company's attention and humanistic care in epidemic prevention have touched me. After three months of internship, his personality has changed a lot, his temper has changed a lot, he has learned the experience and methods of factory management, he knows how to be a person, how to get along with people, and how to do a good job in interpersonal relations.

Zhang Miaomiao: Through practical activities, I felt the hardships of labor and the difficulty of creating products through labor, and the happiness of success and the joy of harvest. Strengthen their own concept of doing things, only by insisting on it can there be gains, and if you don't insist on not paying, you must have no gains. He also discovered his own shortcomings and deficiencies, and worked hard to correct his shortcomings in his work to make them more suitable for modern life.

Dai Yumeng: Knowing the role and importance of goal management, teamwork and empathy are the keys to achieving goals. Each position is very important, the ability of different positions is different, in any position must have a goal, patience, can be competent to the position to achieve life. Humanistic management is a catalyst for stimulating people's potential, and positions and platforms are more important than ability and effort. I learned that if you want to work well, you must always study hard.

Liu Wenlong: I go to work every day to make hundreds of phone calls to advertise, sometimes rejected or even scolded, although it is very hard, but it exercises my communication skills. Relying on their own strength to find a job is not easy, in the absence of economic strength, no network in the case of their own entrepreneurship is more difficult, feel that the academic qualifications are really important, different types of work with different academic qualifications are not the same, the salary treatment is even more different. Talents who have both cultural knowledge and practical ability are the talents that the company needs.

Du Xuyang: In life, we must be good at expressing our own ideas, but also dare to boldly change ourselves, not only to adapt our physiology to the environment, but also to adapt our thoughts to the environment, although the work is hard, the harvest is very happy, helpful, good at learning is the basis for doing a good job. Book knowledge and social practice are incompatible, and can only be updated in practice.

Yang Xueyu: The work intensity is high, the technical difficulty is high, the working hours are long, for a long time, they have not mastered the production technology, they have been punished and deducted from their wages, and they have also been ridiculed and harassed by old employees, and they have begun to be full of grievances, eager to give up their work, or scold them, but finally learned to tolerate and tolerate. Only by learning skills from old employees can we greatly improve the efficiency of work. Only by integrating into the group can you enter the role.

Liu Yige: Truly understand that it is more difficult to be a person than to do things, learn to help others, unite and love, and bear hardships and stand hard work. Learning is knowledge, society needs wisdom and skills, only practice can test whether you have transformed knowledge into ability. Careful observation, careful understanding, and careful repetition can do things well and become talents in practice.

Chen Yueyu: Due to my own negligence, I caused very serious losses to the factory, forcing me to learn to be careful, calm in the face of things, take the initiative to communicate, and solve carefully. Recognizing the importance of "seriousness", I learned to be strict with myself, and formed "safety awareness, risk awareness, quality awareness, cost awareness"

Zhang Ge: I do the work of making up positions and making up the stage, I feel like a brick, where I need to move, although it is very tired but also very fulfilling. At the beginning, I didn't understand it, and I didn't understand it, but I had a lot of problems, and I mastered a lot of knowledge through asking and learning, understood a lot of truths, and accumulated a lot of experience. Only if you are excellent can you gain the recognition of society. Only by learning the skills can you have the job you want, students, study well!

Liu Mengyan: The success or failure of communication with people is very important for people to become talents, slowly involved, slowly experienced, and slowly entered the society, which will better adapt to society. How do you communicate with people and express your problems? What kind of attitude do you have towards the world, towards work, and towards life? It's our real experience. All experiences are nutrients for growth, and only by digesting and absorbing can we learn to grow on our own. The essence of overcoming difficulties is to overcome oneself.

Xie Jiahan: The first time to leave your parents, rely on your own wisdom and ability to solve your own problems, only through experience, can you harvest new feelings, form new knowledge, and generate new skills. In the society, you can't blindly rely on your parents, learn to water your own growth with sweat and tears, and only when you mature will you become strong.

Practice is a means for students to obtain many things that cannot be learned from books, and practice allows students to continuously move closer to society and eventually to society. Let these students who lie flat and do not even know how to write the word "responsibility" say such touching words. We can't help but lament that this is the charm of practical education, and this is the brilliance of vocational education. As long as there is enough time and patience, vocational education will certainly allow "clumsy children" to blossom their own flowers.

As long as human nature remains unchanged and the seeds remain unchanged, I firmly believe that the years will certainly allow the seeds to germinate, although we cannot see the flowers of the iron tree with our own lives, but I believe that the iron tree will blossom.
