Making Jade Into a Vessel

The title of my essay is evolved from "Jade is not cut into a weapon", look at the title of the essay you will know the main content of what I have to write. The word "琢" has many meanings in Chinese: carve, hammer, practice, exercise. The first thing I'd like to do is to get a little bit more information about what I'm talking about.

First of all, let's take a look at the meaning of "Jade is not carved", it is clear that the main meaning of this sentence to tell us is: it is a jade to be carved to form a jade; it is a jade that is not carved can not become a device. Of course, in these two meanings, the main meaning is still inclined to the former.

However, Chinese words have long since lost their original meaning, and are now mostly used in their derivations and metaphors. Based on this, the meaning of my question is that only by constantly carving jade can become a jade, not carving jade can not become a jade. In short, the focus falls on a faceted.

The first is a verb, which has both implicit and explicit behaviors. The so-called implicit behavior naturally comes from the heart, and the explicit behavior comes from physical movements. The original meaning of the word "琢玉成器" is to carve jade into a jade vessel, but today its meaning has changed.

The main thing in today's world is how to learn how to carve yourself and educate your children. Whether it is carving yourself or educating your children, the key is still in the word "carve", and how to carve that is both an art and a discipline.

To give people a drop of water, they have to prepare a bucket of water. For educators, this is something that must be done for a long time. For educators, their own bucket of water comes from the improvement of their own quality. As a chef, want to make delicious meals to win the taste of the crowd, the essence of the problem and the core does not lie in the flavor of the meal itself, but in the chef's own skills.

The chef's skill is not a one-day achievement, but a long-term training. This training requires the chef not only to improve the cooking skills, but also to strengthen the cultivation of moral character. The source of the improvement of skills first from their own perseverance, excellence I see is the meaning of this. If you want your cooking to be more advanced, you have to keep improving, and improving itself is a process of continuous self-cultivation.

This process is based on the idea that there is movement within the static, and movement within the static. Only in this process of alternating movement and static, your cooking can be constantly improved. The improvement of cooking skills also does not mean that your cooking skills can win the taste of the crowd. In addition to improving your cooking skills, you also need to study the flavor combinations of your meals, the heat level when cooking, and so on. It may seem that these are not directly related to your cooking skills, but there is an inseparable relationship.

Since the flavor of the meal, the heat and so on and your cooking skills have an inseparable relationship, then you can not bypass them and walk alone. What you need to do is to improve your own cooking skills at the same time, you also need to take the time to strengthen the study of the flavor of the meal, the mastery of the heat and so on. You can only improve if you take care of both the inside and outside, if you focus on one side and forget or neglect the other, you will not be able to improve your cooking skills. Maybe you think you can hold the spoon, but you may not be able to make a delicious meal.

In the end, as a chef, only to continue to carve their own cooking, that is, in the case of repeated carving their own cooking, your cooking will really be improved. Then the chef to improve their own cooking skills, the ultimate goal is what? The answer is obvious, that is to make delicious meals.

Make delicious meals, which is a chef's purpose, whether this purpose is realized by the diners to evaluate. Of course, the improvement of cooking skills can not be said once and for all, but also to continue in the actual operation of the repeated improvement of their own cooking skills.

Having said that, as a teacher, he is first of all an educator. Since it is the primary purpose of the educator is to educate the educated, to do to educate the educated this is not an easy thing. First of all, we must be good at sculpting our own quality. As a chef, we should also strive for excellence in our own quality, and the key to the problem is to strive for excellence. The key is to strive for excellence. How to strive for excellence is to continuously improve our own cultivation. This self-cultivation, of course, including cultural knowledge, character, personality and so on.

Then, we must also be in the process of alternating between static and dynamic to continuously improve our own quality. This is of course a long-term process, this process is a self-realization of the process of excellence. In this process I have to pay attention to the accumulation of cultural knowledge.

When we chat, we usually discuss something related to cultural knowledge. Although it is said that seeking common ground while reserving differences and taking advantage of strengths and weaknesses, it is still evident that some colleagues have weak knowledge. Then some colleagues will put forward well-intentioned suggestions, so that this part of the relatively weak cultural knowledge of colleagues to step up to recharge, but still get "see the book is a big head" reply. I'm thinking that whether or not you adopt someone else's suggestion is a good indicator of what kind of attitude you have towards improving your own knowledge.

Since seeing a book is a big headache, it's enough to show that you're using another indirect way to tell others that you're not willing to effectively sculpt yourself. The popularity of "charging" is a good indicator that people are aware of their weaknesses, and that they are constantly trying to improve by charging. This is a much more positive response than seeing a book is a big headache, at least this part of the people do not say such as improve their own quality of speech, but at least they are still in the actual action to improve their own quality of speech.

I once saw a paragraph written by a friend on WeChat: "At the beginning of the book, and do not see anything. The gap between the longest time and others can be described as an unbridgeable chasm." For this paragraph, I think it is very reasonable.

Reading is one of the ways to improve their own quality, at the beginning of the accumulation of the beginning of the gap is naturally not obvious, but as long as you insist on reading books, the gap in quality will certainly become more and more obvious, and finally lead to a gap between the chasm between people is also possible.

This is enough to see the difference between cultivation and non-cultivation, as educators we must first of all have the consciousness of constant charging, because in this knowledge and information age our inherent knowledge structure if not keep up with the pace of the times, it will be aging. Only by constantly updating and improving our knowledge structure, the content can keep pace with the times. We stick to the original knowledge structure, only a little knowledge of the textbook to teach students, I am afraid that is not possible.

In addition, I think that as educators, teachers must also have some practical skills.

Also in the WeChat circle of friends, I saw an article about telling the education of boys. From the physiological structure alone, boys are better suited to space hands-on education rather than spending time on mere accumulation of knowledge.

Really, teachers still need to have some hands-on skills. It is said that some professors who teach electricity in physics and draw wiring diagrams to the highest standard have never installed a single light at home. This is a clear indication of an obvious lack of skill. So, when we think about what we are going to give to the educated, it is better to prepare what we are going to give.

In addition to the intellectual structure, we have to have a remarkable sense of equality. This sense of equality, of course, does not mean that one equates oneself completely with the educated. By a sense of equality here I mean always equating one's own human dignity with that of the student.

On the contrary, in reality, some students why some teachers feel good teacher-student relationship or teacher-student emotional harmony, in addition to a number of comprehensive factors, I think the equality of personality is the biggest foundation. Some students are not very respectful of some teachers, in other words, the teacher-student relationship and emotional problems, probably the equality of personality in addition to the problem.

For example, some time ago in Tencent News, I saw a female teacher and female students beat each other up, causing the female teacher to miscarry the news. Indeed such an incident is nothing but sad and painful to think about.

Let's not comment on the right or wrong behavior of the characters in this news for the time being, but at least we can come to the view that we are not very deep in carving each other up - including cultural cultivation and personality cultivation.

So, as educators, we need to cultivate both knowledge and character, and that's what we're ready to give the educated a drop of water, and we should prepare a bucket of water ourselves.

Of course, also from the Tencent news to see a news, a classmate in the classroom to play a prank will be the ink into another classmate's cup, the result of that classmate myocardial damage. The parents went to the school to find the classroom teacher to deal with the matter, which can be clarified verbally, but by the parents fell on the classroom teacher's face slap to make things go wrong.

Borrowing from this news, what I want to say is that we parents should also learn to sculpt themselves. There is a Chinese saying: "There is a mother who has her daughter, and a father who has his son." It is easy to see that the influence of parents on their children is extremely important. This saying can be understood from two aspects:

1. A good mother must have a good daughter, a good father must have a good son

2. A bad mother must have a bad girl, a bad father must have a bad son

The good and bad here is from the parents of the children's educational impact on the point of view to cultivate good daughters and good sons. As a parent, we have to seriously sculpt ourselves.

People of my generation lamented that their knowledge base is not enough to counsel their children, which clearly shows that the knowledge base of the parents has long been unable to adapt to the knowledge that the children have learned. The smart parents will realize that their own knowledge is insufficient, and then will recharge their batteries to adapt to the knowledge of their children's counseling. Some parents lament that their knowledge is lagging behind but do nothing about it, and the result is that they are out of step with what their children are learning. This kind of parents know the consequences of not having knowledge, in order to prevent their own "tragedy" in the child in the child to repeat, a focus only on the child's performance but ignored the child's more space for development, there is also a feature of the one-child era, parents would rather eat all the pain for their children do not allow their children to eat a tiny bit of pain. This makes the child lose more of a foothold in society, self-regulation of many conditions.

As mentioned earlier, parents would rather eat all the pain for their children than let them suffer a little bit, which is why there is the Tencent news about parents slapping the classroom teacher in the face.

As I write this, I realize that the work of the parents in educating their children also lies in the sculpting of the self.

Some parents don't pay much attention to their own behavior. Anyway, a sentence is their own negative behavior on the child's great influence, then we usually say a sentence: "parents are the best teachers of children" "to learn from the example of" these can be extremely illustrated by the parents of good words and deeds on their own children have a great influence, and vice versa! The bad behavior of the parents themselves has a great influence on the behavior of the children.

However, some parents don't realize how much their words and actions affect their children. In order to educate children, as parents, we need to have enough awareness in this regard, once the child in a certain aspect of the problem caused by the irreparable error fault, we do not look for other people or objective reasons, perhaps it is our long-term bad habits of bad behavior ultimately caused by the child's faults.

How to educate the child first depends on the awareness of our parents themselves, now we are the only child most of the mainstream. Inevitably, we are spoiled because of the child's behavior will accommodate a lot. This will give the child with the desire to do what they want to boost, for example, Wang grandfather because only one grandchild so on their own grandchildren that is a lot of care. In the long run, the development of children in all things overbearing behavior, once because of Mr. Wang did not give enough grandson and his friends the same pressure, the result of the grandson with a chopper cut to the sleeping Mr. Wang.

Looking at the above example, we can not help but backbone will be shocked out of a cold sweat, but more we have to start from their own reflection, caused by the grandson of moncler jackets for sale this kind of behavior of the driving force, that is, our elders unprincipled spoiling, this kind of unprincipled spoiling once the effect of the child, perhaps we put the child pushed to the crime.

Just like planting crops or trees, we are not just letting the crops and trees grow freely, nor are we just fertilizing the crops or trees, if this is a good but unprincipled way of planting, the result will be the destruction of crops and trees. We planted the crops and trees are to adopt a principled approach, so that we can have a good harvest.

By the same token, we have to be principled in educating our children. Nowadays, some people say that the encouragement of education to educate children, this encouragement of education can only take the appropriate principles. The so-called adoption of the appropriate principle means that the child to do the right thing, we can properly encourage (spiritual or material) but not too, if the child to do something wrong, but depends on the extent of what he did wrong, we can not adopt the way of encouragement. For example, if a child fights with others, we can not encourage that the fight is good, if even this kind of thing is used to encourage education, our children will go to fight recklessly and eventually lead to murder, then you can still say that encouragement of education is good?

The best way to educate is to combine encouragement with punishment. The child did the right thing to properly encourage and help him analyze the various reasons, the child did the wrong thing to properly punish and help him analyze the reasons for doing the wrong thing, this should be our parents should do. Really should let our children have a right and wrong view, and have some fear.

Of course, we have to recognize the influence and direction of family education and school education, and there is no doubt that social education plays a decisive role. I make an analogy here, the family is like a material processing plant, the school is like a material combination factory, society is the market. The products we make will eventually go to the market, and the market will decide whether they are good or bad.

Our society must also sculpt itself in this aspect of education, in fact, education and society have a related positive and negative relationship. The purpose of education is to cultivate all kinds of talents for the society, so as to promote the development of the society; in turn, the development of the society naturally promotes the development of education.

What should we elevate education to? I think that education should be elevated to the level of the fundamentals of society, the fundamentals of the country. Now is the knowledge-based, information, knowledge outbreak of the era, but also talent competition, national power competition, the above social phenomena ultimately attributed to the strength of education. The strength of education is strong, the comprehensive development of society is strong, society is strong, the strength of education is strong.

Education for people based on the basis of this, the basis of social development, the basis of the country's founding. Think about modern China has always been to the heavenly Kingdom of self-proclaimed, but by the West to break the country's doors, people with knowledge are willing to look at the world. Fang just know that the vast earth is not only a heavenly country, the West convinced these modern Chinese intellectuals is not their ships and artillery, but a strong culture and civilization.

A strong culture and civilization is inevitably based on education, if we leave education to talk about culture and civilization, it certainly does not make sense.

Now what our government does should be based on the social field, do not do things based on the economic field, and do not bring the laws of the economic field to the social field.

The government should do a good job in healthcare, education, and livelihoods, and leave the economy to the market.

The only way to do this is for the parents to do their own work, for the teachers to do their own work, for the teachers to do their own work, and for the society to do their own work, and for the society to do their own work. Then our education will be strong.

The work is in the word "cut", the work needs to be cultivated, the work is natural and then cut the jade, the jade is a tool.
