As a large country with a history of 5,000 years, education is of far-reaching significance to China.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world's first ideological and academic debate broke out on the soil of China - the contention of a hundred schools. Countless scholars who have read poetry and books have spoken freely in that chaotic era, and expressed their own voices and concepts, which is the awakening of human personality and the liberation of the convergence of ideas, and at the same time, it is also an invisible force that pushes the wheel of history forward.
But now, whether it is Confucius, who is the teacher of eternity, or Lao Dan, who is both rigid and soft in life and tastes philosophy, has long since disappeared in the wind, but what they left to future generations is far more than the mountains and rivers in the book, nor is it verbal talk, but more of the fire of education, for the future generations to pass on the torch to light up this vast road ahead.
For me, perhaps the words of President Mei Yiqi of Southwest Associated University are most in line with the true meaning of universities and even education: "The so-called university is not only a building, but also a master." "University is the temple of education, and it is the highest institution of knowledge, but his sentence directly attaches more importance to teachers and self-cultivation.
So, should the pace of education really stop at university, or is there no end to learning?
Academic Times
As we all know, Chinese education is divided into three stages, the first period is the glorious ancient times, students in private schools, with their own teachers of Chinese studies, just for a single list, chicken dog ascended to heaven.
The second period is the chaotic modern era, when students went abroad to learn Western culture, just to learn from the art of mastering the country, or parade through the streets to criticize the political darkness.
The third period is the peaceful and prosperous era after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rapid expansion and development of the economy has brought a subtle impact on people's study path, and people gradually pursue high-quality, high-quality value ideas, and they are eager to march to the university and climb to the academic palace.
This is what we have become today's "academic age".
Since the beginning of the ancient feudal dynasties, the family has used the imperial examination to highlight the glory and dignity of the family, or to maintain the family lineage.
As a result, this selective and fair intuitive examination method has been continued, and it has become the best shortcut for the children of the poor family to catch up with the family. Therefore, the utilitarian mentality of "no one asks in the cold window for ten years, and the world knows it in one fell swoop", in order to turn over, the idea of changing fate is deeply planted in the hearts of every student, and this is one of the reasons why the academic era is gradually flourishing.
In addition, it is said that education is the cornerstone of a country's development, and the country's policies have a significant impact on the advent of this era.
Due to China's vast land and extremely uneven population distribution, this has caused a serious bias in people's education level, so that those with poor family backgrounds can only end their education journey early due to remote terrain or economy, and finally bear the pain of their ancestors, and are busy all their lives.
Wealthy families can be cultivated in many ways, so that children can better absorb and grow from learning and interests, and the result is tantamount to making the poor in the future still very poor, and the rich still have a bright future.
As a result, China introduced the "nine-year compulsory education", which uses a forced method to fundamentally narrow this gap, and to balance the social balance to determine the future of poor children. This approach breaks the exclusive pride of rich children and injects fresh blood into the academic era.
Perhaps, the advent of the so-called academic era is not only the rapid development of academic fairness and popularity, but also the approach and vigor of the beautiful era, but such comfortable days will always make people lazy.
A corner of eccentricity
This year marks the 15th anniversary of compulsory education in China, and in the past 15 years, Chinese society has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, due to the scarcity of educational resources and the stagnation of education levels, the university was the academic palace and the only way out at that time.
In the past 15 years, not only education, but even the entire social culture has been significantly changed and improved, people's attitudes and requirements towards education are also constantly changing, the so-called college students and technical students have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which has led to the saturation of the student market and the job market, people have higher requirements for students who are not strange, and in some first- and second-tier cities, undergraduates may have become the minimum threshold requirements.
However, how can the habits and stereotypes of the past few decades be broken, the idea of "university stability" has long been deeply planted in the hearts of every student, and since childhood, their goal is to be admitted to a good university, and the life of college students must be comfortable and comfortable.
Sigmund Freud said, "Mankind yearns for a comfortable time to sleep." This is both accurate and very intuitive to show the current situation and psychology of contemporary Chinese college students, the university is the end of all learning from the beginning of their own reading and literacy, but also the destination and harbor of the past ten years, they can't wait to enter and get their due rewards in it, and realize all their previous fantasies and emotions from it. So they spent their best years in a quiet corner here.
However, nothing can stop the progress and development of time, and everything, including ideology and the market, can never catch up with people's demands and needs. Therefore, the inflated market and the academic era have begun to become very strict and picky for college students, including their quality and ability, the good ones will be left behind, and the bad ones, those who waste time, will always be able to stay in that corner and be abandoned in solitude.
Social University
Perhaps, as Bai Yansong said: "College students are about to become compulsory education, what qualifications do you have to be complacent and regard yourself as the elite of society." ”
And the elite is always the head of the group, always the majority of the majority, not a handful of thatch, from the historical footprints and the past we can get a glimpse of one or two, we found that the spread of higher knowledge in China, from scarce to popular only fifteen years, and it is this short fifteen years, the college students from the window of the cherished product to everywhere can be seen everywhere, so the years of innovation and iterative replacement are too fast, so we can not just settle in one place, only verbal on paper, That will only make college students become novices and practical dwarfs in society.
As I said before: "The so-called university is not a building, but a master." Therefore, college students enter the university not to obtain the title or academic qualifications of college students, nor just to favor the campus building, to die studying or greedy for pleasure, college students should learn to shape their personality and establish a correct outlook on employment practice in the university, and should learn from the masters their experience and skills over the years, as well as the methods and attitudes of dealing with others.
Nowadays, the economy and society are like a piece of sweet cheese, and there are too many people who want to eat cheese, which is the so-called "more monks and less porridge". Therefore, we should create our own value, cater to the value and interests of the society, work hard, and do not regard ourselves as high, otherwise we will inevitably be denied and eliminated.
Brief summary:
It is said that teenagers are the future of the country, and education is the best business card of the country, we get the best opportunities at the best age, we should not live up to the youth, live up to the youth, but should grasp it tightly, follow it closely, continue to cultivate and enrich themselves, become an independent person who can stand and bear, and meet a better self.
