Keywords: Chinese-style modernization; Teacher morality and style; Lide cultivates people

Chinese-style modernization is a major theoretical innovation in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also its core content. Chinese modernization is inevitably the modernization of prosperous education and the emergence of talents, and the teaching ethics and teaching style of teachers who cultivate top-notch innovative talents have become an important part of it. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the major decision of "implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and strengthening the support of talents for modernization", emphasizing that "education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way". Teachers at all levels and of all types are important members of the mainland's education front, the main force in the implementation of scientific and technological innovation, and the concrete implementers of cultivating new talents of the times, and will inevitably and will play a key supporting role in promoting the process of Chinese-style modernization. The teacher's ethics and style of teaching are related to whether the direction of education is correct, whether the battle of science and technology can be won, and whether the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people can be implemented. Therefore, it is of great significance and practical need to use Chinese-style modernization to lead the construction of teachers' ethics and style in the new era, to unify the thoughts, wills and actions of the majority of teachers, to guide the majority of teachers to deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments", to adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and to thoroughly study and implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and its series of major deployments.

1. China has a fine tradition of attaching importance to the construction of teachers' ethics and style

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had a fine tradition of attaching importance to education and teachers' morality. In ancient times, there was the order of "Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher", and the most respected person was the teacher. "Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is like a long night." The thought of Confucius and Mencius has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is the earliest known portrait of Confucius on a dressing mirror unearthed in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang in the Han Dynasty in Nanchang, and the colleges run by countries around the world are called Confucius Institutes. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius proposed that teachers should "teach by example" more than "words and teaching", emphasizing that "their bodies are upright, and they do not obey orders, and their bodies are not upright, although they do not obey orders". Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty proposed that there are three basic tasks of teachers, namely, "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts", and among the three, "preaching" is the first. Han Yu believes that as a teacher, the most fundamental condition is to have the "Tao", no matter whether noble or lowly, old or young, "the Tao exists, the teacher exists", and the "teacher" and the "Tao" are closely integrated and cannot be separated. Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator and thinker, interprets the highest state of teacher morality with the feelings of "holding a heart and not taking half a straw", and believes that teachers should have the love of "love all over the world" and the spirit of being willing to be a ladder for others, and should be humble and open-minded, cooperative and gregarious, lead by example, take the lead in setting an example, and achieve "learning from high school as a teacher, and being a model".

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party and state leaders attached great importance to the building of teachers' ethics and style, and Comrade Mao Zedong believed that the cultivation of teachers' ethics is an important part of education, which must be embodied in the fundamental purpose of education that serves the proletarian politics and integrates it with production and labor. Comrade Deng Xiaoping stressed: Teachers should strengthen their own ideological and political cultivation, devote themselves to the cause of education, grasp the laws of education in the spirit of being extremely responsible to the state and the nation, have the courage to practice and explore, have a sense of innovation, and train qualified personnel for socialist modernization. Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out that a teacher is a mentor for students to increase their knowledge and ideological progress, and their words and deeds will have an impact on students, and they must set an example in an all-round way in terms of ideology, politics, moral quality, and style of study, and consciously take the lead in setting an example, so that they can truly set an example for others. Comrade Hu Jintao proposed that the vast number of teachers should set an example for others, pay attention to the cultivation of teachers' morality, teach and educate people with noble sentiments, pay attention to quality education and moral education, and give full play to their important role in the ideological and moral construction of minors.

In the vivid practice of leading Chinese-style modernization, our party has formulated a series of educational guidelines and revised a series of policy documents in accordance with the changes in the development situation at home and abroad and the actual needs of the development of education, in different times and in accordance with the characteristics of different times, so as to gradually improve the building of teachers' ethics and style. After decades of unremitting efforts, a relatively complete system has been initially established, and certain achievements have been made in the theory and practice of the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style, which has laid a good foundation for promoting the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style in the new era.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made many important instructions on the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style, focusing on the fundamental, directional and key issues of teacher ethics and teacher style, and put forward a series of new ideas, new views and new assertions, emphasizing that the first criterion for evaluating the quality of teachers is teacher ethics and teacher style, and has successively put forward "four haves" good teachers, "four guides", "four unifications", "great men" in the new era, "economic teachers" and "human teachers" The unification of other teacher ethics standards scientifically clarifies the great significance, connotation of the times and construction path of the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style in the new era.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and made a strategic plan to "strengthen the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style, cultivate a team of high-quality teachers, and promote the social trend of respecting teachers and valuing education". This specific, clear and detailed task requirement further highlights the important role of the construction of teachers' ethics and style in promoting Chinese-style modernization and realizing the new journey of the second centenary goal.

Second, Chinese-style modernization must vigorously promote the construction of teachers' ethics and style

Teacher ethics and teacher style are the vane of social morality, and have an important role in demonstrating and leading the whole social atmosphere. The construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching is not static, but has been enriched and improved with the development of society. Therefore, the teacher's ethics and style in each period have different connotation characteristics. Under the guidance of Chinese-style modernization, the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching has taken on a new connotation. Teachers in the new era should firmly grasp the connotation and essence of the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style from the perspective of Chinese-style modernization, put the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style in a more important position, cultivate themselves with morality, establish their authority with morality, cast the soul of teachers internally, and shape teachers' watches externally.

(1) Strong political skills and firm beliefs are the clear orientation of the construction of teachers' ethics and style

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized: "Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which has the common characteristics of the modernization of all countries and Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. "Education in the mainland is socialist education under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and this political attribute determines that our education must adhere to and strengthen the party's overall leadership, must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, and must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. At the same time, it also determines that teachers must be firm believers in Marxism, loyal supporters of the Communist Party of China, and exemplary practitioners of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Vigorously promoting the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching will inevitably require further highlighting political attributes, strengthening political orientation, giving full play to political functions, strengthening teachers' ideological and political work and practicing core values, so that teachers can better shoulder the responsibility of guiding and guiding the healthy growth of students.

(2) Historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence are effective guarantees for the construction of teachers' ethics and style

For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been growing and growing in the vast land, and the fiery practice of production and life has been engraved into history and accumulated into civilization, and the excellent traditional culture formed has rich and profound connotations, has the nature and quality of enduring and endless, and is a moral resource that will never be exhausted and burst out with vitality. In traditional Confucianism, such as "love students, teach without class", "lead by example, teach by word and deed", "never tire of learning, never tirelessly teach others", "teach students according to their aptitude, follow the good path", "ask questions without shame, and change when they know what they know", etc., prompted the mainland to form the first teacher moral system in the history of education in the pre-Qin period. In ancient times, the "Tao of Teachers" required teachers to be both virtuous and firm, but also specialized in their profession; We must not only know its reason, but also practice it; It is also necessary to improve day by day, constantly acquire new knowledge, and use this as the basis for respecting teachers.

On the way forward to promote Chinese-style modernization, under the new situation of paying more and more attention to the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, it is necessary to strengthen historical self-confidence, enhance historical initiative, and promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement. In the process of creating a new glory of socialist culture, we will extract the essence of China's excellent traditional culture, constantly enrich and develop the profound connotation of the construction of teachers' ethics and style, and provide useful experience and profound enlightenment for vigorously promoting the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching in the new era.

(3) Great love and selfless dedication are the essential requirements for the construction of teacher ethics and style

Focusing on students, caring for students, and serving students are the soul of teacher ethics and style. The core of the teacher's ethics and style is the selfless love for students. "Only by kissing his teacher can he believe in his way, and only by believing in his way can he be willing to be taught by him. "Without love, there is no education. The noble teacher morality stems from the great love in the hearts of teachers. Strict in the strict, love in the subtle. Teachers should care for and educate students with love, sincerity and patience, not only to shape students' sound personalities, but also to respect students' interests and personality differences. Be responsible for both the present and the future of the student; It is necessary not only to treat students equally, not to favor one over the other, but also to care for students from poor families, students with psychological disorders, and relatively backward students, so as to become a mentor and helpful friend to students and a guide for their healthy growth.

In the final analysis, Chinese modernization is the modernization of people. Realizing the free and all-round development of human beings is not only the main line that runs through the history of the development of Marxism and the highest value of Marxists, but also the proper meaning of human modernization. Vigorously promoting the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style inevitably requires close teacher-student relations and promoting teaching and learning, and it is also inevitable that teachers should take the lead in setting an example, demonstrating and leading, integrating great love and dedication into it, and inheriting and carrying forward excellent teachers' ethics and teaching style.

(4) Learning to be a teacher and acting as a model for the world is the value pursuit of the construction of teacher ethics and style

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The foundation of educating people lies in morality. "People are the decisive factor in realizing the grand blueprint drawn by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, implementing various strategic tasks and objectives, and pushing Chinese-style modernization to a new stage and new height. Teachers undertake the mission of cultivating socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, and should not only be noble teachers, but also pay attention to the cultivation of their own knowledge level and professional ability. If a teacher assumes that he or she does not have the level to hold students to high standards, it is not convincing and easy to be despised by students. In the new era of integrated education, science and technology, and talents, only by firmly establishing the concept of lifelong learning, taking learning as an indispensable part of their work and even life, and concentrating on learning, understanding with heart, and teaching sincerely, can teachers adapt to the requirements of the times and play a key supporting role in promoting the process of Chinese-style modernization.

Vigorously promoting the building of teachers' ethics and style of teaching inevitably requires teachers to pay more attention to the education of students' moral character and moral cultivation while imparting knowledge and skills to students, and to train students to become socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor in the way of "one tree shakes another tree, one cloud pushes another cloud, and one soul awakens another soul."

(5) Reform and innovation and perfection are the fundamental footholds of the construction of teachers' ethics and style

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized: "We must adhere to the principle that science and technology are the primary productive forces, talent is the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force, and we must thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, open up new fields and new tracks for development, and constantly shape new momentum and new advantages for development." "Teachers are not only the cultivators of top-notch innovative talents with both ability and political integrity, but also the new force in the implementation of scientific and technological innovation and scientific research, and play an irreplaceable and important role in the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. A nation without the spirit of innovation is a nation without hope; A school without a sense of innovation is a school without hope; A teacher who has no ability to innovate is also a teacher who has no hope.

Vigorously promoting the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching will inevitably require teachers to fully implement the party's education policy, consciously assume the responsibility and mission of educating people for the party and the country, enhance their sense of innovation, enhance their innovation ability, and improve their innovation skills, make every effort to participate in the reform of school education and teaching, actively carry out innovative practices in teaching concepts, contents, and methods, and be diligent in innovation, responsibility, and good work in the vivid practice of comprehensively improving the quality of independent training of talents and striving to create top-notch innovative talents.

3. Leading the new pattern of building teachers' ethics and style with Chinese-style modernization

Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of education first, and the modernization of Chinese-style teachers is an inevitable requirement of Chinese-style modernization and an important part of educational modernization. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) focused on the overall layout of the "five-in-one" and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, made a series of strategic arrangements for promoting Chinese-style modernization, and established a strategic framework and work priorities for building a high-quality teacher team, strengthening the construction of teacher ethics and teaching style, and strengthening the construction of a team of teachers with noble teacher ethics. To lead the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching with Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to follow General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on the construction of teachers' ethics and style, take Chinese-style modernization as the fundamental guideline, build a new pattern of teachers' ethics and style, and build a team of high-quality teachers with noble ethics and excellent quality, so as to provide important support for Chinese-style modernization.

(1) Persist in combining educational self-discipline with institutional discipline

In the practice of cultivating and establishing noble teacher morality, it is nothing more than two forms: educational guidance and institutional constraints. Ideological education is the process of "uprightening people's hearts" and system building is the process of "establishing standards," and they belong to different categories of "self-discipline" and "other discipline." As far as the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style is concerned, the top-level design of the school and the construction of a high-level system are very important. Immanuel Kant said, "Freedom is self-discipline, and only self-discipline is true morality." "Teachers should internalize their professional philosophy into self-discipline and form a true sense of teacher ethics, which is also the value of teacher ethics. Only when people have the right mind, a good system can be established, and a good system can be implemented, after all, the system is to be implemented by people in the final analysis; Without the constraints and norms of the system, simply saying that the church is pale and powerless, it will be more difficult to "uphold the hearts of the people", and the hearts of those who are already righteous will be difficult to maintain for a long time under the guidance of the external environment.

Ideological education and system building are both indispensable and important contents in the building of teachers' ethics and style. On the one hand, it is necessary to educate, standardize, and guide teachers with socialist core values, enhance teachers' knowledge, understanding and perception of Chinese-style modernization, and identify with the ideological, political, theoretical and emotional identity of socialism with Chinese characteristics. On the other hand, it is necessary to build a long-term mechanism for the supervision and evaluation of teachers' ethics and teaching style with the participation of schools, teachers, students, parents and society, put forward professional ethics or codes of conduct that meet the needs of the development of Chinese-style modern education, and form other laws for teachers' behaviors with the help of social public opinion, system management, and reward and punishment guidance, so as to improve the level of teachers' ethics and teachers' style, and adhere to the bottom line of teachers' ethics and teachers' style.

(2) Persist in combining explicit and implicit education

Explicit education focuses on enabling the educated to receive education through clear-cut and direct educational activities; Implicit education is through indirect and implicit educational activities, so that the educated can receive education unconsciously. Teachers' learning, work, and life are mostly in a specific campus, and the tangible campus environment and the intangible style of study, teaching, and school spirit constitute the campus cultural atmosphere, which is an intangible educational force, which often has a strong and subtle educational effect on the growth of teachers in the form of "daily use" and "moisturizing things silently", and has a direct impact on teachers' ideals, beliefs, styles and sentiments. The implicit educational function of this culture is also an effective way to build teachers' ethics and style, and it can often achieve the effect of "teaching without words is better than teaching".

To lead the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching with Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to actively create a healthy campus cultural atmosphere, give full play to the guidance, cohesion, motivation and adjustment functions of campus culture, guide teachers to actively participate in the formulation of school development goals, provide suggestions and suggestions for the development of the school, closely link personal thoughts and emotions, future and destiny with the practical needs of Chinese-style modernization, and enhance the sense of mission, responsibility and ownership. Make full use of audio, video, VR and other technical means to enrich and improve the expression form of teacher ethics and teacher style, so that the education content is more in line with the ideological and behavioral characteristics of teachers in the new era, and then enhance the era, ideology and appeal of teacher ethics and teacher style education.

(3) Persist in combining the single handling of the problem of teachers' ethics and anomie with overall governance

The key to whether a school is running well or not lies in the ability and quality of its teachers. The issue of teacher ethics and style is an old topic and a new topic. In the process of governance and practice of the problem of anomie in teachers' ethics and style, there is always a kind of helplessness of "pressing the gourd to float the scoop", and when studying and solving the problem of a certain type of anomie of teachers' ethics and teaching style, new derivative problems or other problems often arise, such as anomie in words and deeds in the classroom, paid make-up classes, sexual assault on students, substitute teacher guidance, academic fraud and other problems occur from time to time. The reason why these problems occur is, to a certain extent, that the understanding that the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style is a systematic project is not in place, and the understanding that the problem of teacher ethics and teacher style anomie urgently needs to be combined with the symptom and the root cause is not in place, resulting in the limitation of "headache and foot pain" in the process of building teacher ethics and teacher style, and there are limitations in the treatment of the problem of teacher ethics and teacher style anomie, and there are limitations of simplifying the causes and discussing things on a case-by-case basis when dealing with the problem of teacher ethics and teacher style, and not enough attention is paid to other factors behind this problem; When dealing with the problem of teachers' moral and moral anomie, most of them are dealt with after the fact, and there is a lack of prior prevention, avoidance and overall planning.

To lead the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching with Chinese-style modernization, we should pay better attention to the treatment of teachers, including the improvement of material life and the spiritual aspects to give them due respect, so that teachers can cherish, love and devote themselves to this cause from the bottom of their hearts, so as to organically combine the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style with respect for teachers and respect for talents, care for teachers politically, ideologically and in life, protect the rights and interests of teachers in accordance with the law, and do everything possible to do practical things for teachers. Do good things, help teachers solve practical difficulties and worries, do a good job in teachers' ideological and political work in depth and meticulously in the process of serving teachers wholeheartedly, and concentrate their efforts to strengthen the foundation.

(4) Persist in combining on-campus norms with off-campus guidance

Teachers' ethics and style of teaching are gradually formed and developed with the emergence and development of education, and are the sum of the norms and norms that teachers rely on in education and teaching activities and the quality of their behavior. Although it is the professional ethics of teachers, any profession is the product of socialization, and any professional ethics is the external embodiment of a certain social relationship, and the teacher's ethics and style are no exception. Therefore, certain social relations and their environment and atmosphere play a vital role in the construction of teachers' ethics and style. When carrying out the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style, the vision should not be limited to the school campus, relying solely on the school's education and constraints, but also jump out of the school and out of the campus, and actively cultivate a good environment for the construction of teacher ethics and teacher style from the social level, so as to realize the organic unity of school norms and external guidance.

To vigorously promote the construction of teachers' ethics and teaching style, it is necessary to actively cultivate and practice the good atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education, highlight the guiding function of the social environment of respecting teachers and valuing education, and produce a sense of gratification, pride and gain in teachers' psychology and spirit, and urge teachers to cherish their posts and be strict with themselves. Vigorously strengthen the propaganda and reporting of typical teachers, create a noble image of teachers, make the teaching profession an enviable and respected profession, and further form a good atmosphere of respect for knowledge, talent, education, and teachers in the whole society, so that the teaching profession will become the most glorious, noble, and respected profession.
