Tao Xingzhi is a great people's educator, an educational thinker, an educational reformer, and a practitioner in the history of modern education in our country, a great soldier of democracy, and a great patriot. He has a wide range of friends in his life, and his friends have a high opinion of him.
On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's birth, a series of short videos of "Tao Xingzhi's Circle of Friends" was launched to commemorate this great educator of the people.
Tao Xingzhi and Yun Daiying are both pioneers of rural education reform, and their civilian education ideas are basically the same, especially rural education, and they are sparing no effort to actively advocate and practice.
In 1923, Tao Xingzhi initiated the establishment of the General Association for the Promotion of Civilian Education, and put forward the call to "go to the countryside" in the promotion of civilian education, which attracted the attention of the Chinese Communists. At that time, Mao Zedong was concentrating on the workers' movement in the city. Comrade Yun Daiying wrote to Mao Zedong and said, "We can also learn tao xingzhi and go to the countryside to do it." ”
In March 1924, Tao Xingzhi proposed that "using winter and summer vacations to carry out rural education is the best way in the civilian education movement." ”
In May of the same year, Yun Daiying published an article entitled "Rural Movements in Preparation for Summer Vacation".
Their similar educational ideas and persistent spirit of serving the people are still praised by people today.
