Centennial celebration: red candle burning
Xianlin Middle School is the product of the idea of "saving the country through education" in the early 20th century. 1907 On February 27th (15th day of the first month), the inaugural meeting of the Education Research Association was held in the Confucian Temple. Zhong Xian, born in 19 19, was the only middle school in eastern Shaanxi at that time. 1932 implemented coeducation in Zhong Xian, and 1933 opened high school classes, which not only led the trend in eastern Shaanxi, but also ranked among the best in other schools in Shaanxi, winning the reputation of "the highest institution in eastern Shaanxi" and becoming the earliest "key middle school" in Shaanxi. Xianlin Middle School is also the earliest spreading base of Marxism-Leninism in Shaanxi. Wei Yechou, Wang, Shu Xianshan, Yan Shaoru, Zhao, Guan Zhezhe and other * * * party member spread Marxism-Leninism here, reformed education and guided a group of young people onto the revolutionary road. Especially in 1923, after the establishment of "Youth Inspirational Society" and "Public Welfare Society" headed by Pan and Zhao Hemin, Xianlin Middle School led local farmers to fight local tyrants and divide their fields, and the vigorous "Jiaonong Movement" flourished in eastern Shaanxi. ...
1July, 937, the history of China entered the great War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, and Zhong Xian teachers and students were at the forefront of the times in the wave of resisting Japan and saving the nation. 1949 In May, Hua County was peacefully liberated, and the history of Xianlin Middle School turned a new page. Under the leadership of the * * * Production Party in China, the school inherits the fine traditions formed over the past 40 years, adapts to the times and innovates education. 1966 in may, the "cultural revolution" began, and the profound humanistic spirit and excellent teaching tradition accumulated by Xianlin middle school for decades were seriously damaged in this storm. After the "Cultural Revolution", teachers and students in Zhong Xian ushered in the spring of the education front, and the school thoroughly cleared its roots, restored its tradition and gradually embarked on the track of healthy development. 198 1 under the new situation, the school sized up the situation, analyzed the direction of teaching reform, adjusted the working ideas, and actively organized all teachers to participate in the education and teaching reform. Xianlin Middle School keeps pace with the times and has been struggling with hardships.
Entering the new century, the world's science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds, which makes Zhong Xian face the contradiction between quality education and exam-oriented education. In addition, many key middle schools in the province under the jurisdiction of Weinan City, and even many key high schools in brother counties (cities) are also making great strides, which has also brought great pressure to Zhong Xian in terms of education quality. At that time, when the school expanded its enrollment and the number of students increased sharply, teachers, teaching facilities and accommodation for teachers and students were very difficult. Facing the new opportunities and challenges, in order to maintain the historical reputation of "a university in eastern Shaanxi", keep up with the pace of the times and innovate again, Xianlin Middle School, under the leadership of the county party committee and government and the leadership of President Ren Dechang, has made pragmatic innovation, all-round development and achieved new development.
After the efforts at the beginning of the century, the school's school appearance, school conditions, teaching management and the mental outlook of teachers and students have undergone great changes, and various honors have followed. At present, the school covers an area of 135 mu, with 248 faculty members, more than 4,000 students and 66 classes. There are 2 national excellent teachers, 3 provincial excellent teachers, 3 provincial super teachers, 2 provincial teaching experts, provincial excellent class teachers 1 name, municipal teaching experts 14, municipal top-notch talents 1 name, and middle and senior teachers 100. The leading group is young and strong, sincere and United, pioneering and enterprising, diligent and pragmatic, and good at management. In 2000, the school was named "Civilized Campus" by Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. In 200 1 year, the number of applicants for the second college entrance examination reached 354, ranking fourth among key middle schools in the city; In 2002, it was designated as "Modern Technology Experimental School" and "Western Development and Strategic Research Unit for Promoting the Modernization of Basic Education in Guanzhong Area of Shaanxi Province" by the Provincial Department of Education and the Provincial Institute of Education respectively, and was named as "City Model High School" by Weinan Municipal Government in the same year. In 2003, it was named "Provincial Key Middle School" by Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education. The realization of this goal marks that the school has entered a new historical stage, and the teachers and students of the school are full of joy and excitement. Why did Xianlin Middle School achieve such great results? Throughout the history of development, we will find that she has a profound educational concept of "based on the foundation and pursuing harmony"; There is a leading group with strong politics, fine business and positive style to "take the helm"; Have a team of high-quality teachers "paddle"; Have the courage and heroism to take the lead in teaching reform; Great education, great investment, great vision and foresight.
Centennial spring silkworm spinning
Over the past hundred years, generations of Xianlin people have pursued without regrets, just like spring silkworms spinning silk. Founder Yang Songxuan is a famous patriotic educator in modern China. In order to promote his studies, he went through hardships. After the founding of New China, President Zhao Yuxi attended the National "Heroes Conference of Culture, Education, Health and Sports" on behalf of the school at 1960, and was cordially received by Premier Zhou, and won the "Advanced Unit" medal signed by Premier Zhou. 65438+ Since1August, 1999, Dechang has been the principal, and under the correct leadership of education departments at all levels and county committees and governments, the school has further intensified its construction efforts. They carried forward the school spirit of Mr. Yang Songxuan in the early days of the school, and carried out large-scale capital construction in line with the development concept of "building first, then paying off debts", and the hardware construction of the school reached a big step. 2001From February to August, 2002, No.2 teaching building was completed, with 24 new classrooms. In 2002, the Justice Building was rebuilt, the school gate was expanded (197 1 changing the school gate from the east gate to the west gate), the 300-meter circular track of the playground was hardened, and the school heating facilities were installed. In 2003, Building No.2 of student apartment was completed, which can accommodate 1 600 students, and the student apartment 1 was renovated. By September 2003, 48 teaching classes, 3,286 students' study accommodation rooms and 1.97 staff office rooms were basically solved after the expansion of enrollment. The school is lush and pleasant, with a green area of 4580. There is an experimental building equipped with a language laboratory, a telephone teaching system, a new high-standard science and chemistry laboratory and a multimedia classroom.
In teaching management, all teaching staff in school education regard teaching and educating people as the eternal theme of their work, and firmly establish the idea of "establishing schools by quality". Starting from stimulating teachers' enthusiasm and giving full play to the advantages of school teaching resources, we have successively established and improved more than 50 rules and regulations, such as classroom teaching norms, teaching practice, detailed rules for quantitative assessment, and evaluation criteria for excellent teaching plans. We will assess them according to the rules, reward the excellent and punish the poor, and pay close attention to implementation. Carrying out the target responsibility system for teaching and research requires each teacher to learn a theoretical monograph well, introduce and popularize experience well, choose a topic for teaching and research reform well, have a good teaching and research class and write a teaching and research paper with certain guiding significance. Implement a three-level teaching cycle system, optimize the combination, implement quality indicators, and give full play to the overall synergy and efficiency of teachers. Establish a mechanism of employing people who can be promoted and demoted, and work hard and get more, increase the input of front-line teaching staff and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers. Give play to the role of backbone teachers as the main force and arrange them to engage in key class teaching or top students' guidance. Carry out teaching competitions to improve teachers' level and ability through open classes, teaching and research courses, paper collection and lectures by teaching experts. These perfect working systems and effective management measures have promoted the sustained and healthy development of school education and teaching. During this period, the school kept pace with the times and hired foreign volunteers to give lectures in June 2002. Since February 2004, Ms. Catherine, an American foreign teacher from Xi 'an Eurasia College, has been invited to attend classes regularly. In August, 2004, the school signed a three-year contract with Hongkong buckland Overseas Education Group, assigning two foreign teachers to teach in the school every academic year, strengthening English teaching, and striving to improve the oral English communication ability of teachers and students and students' academic performance.
In the construction of teaching staff, the school first proposed that ideological education should be people-oriented, and advocated "three respects and four respects", that is, the education of the whole society, Jinghua County and Xianlin Middle School. "Four respects" means respecting teachers' personality, individuality, will and labor. Establish "four consciousnesses" in concept, namely, quality consciousness, collective consciousness, hardship consciousness and education reform consciousness. Emotional input warms people's hearts. Teachers are honest mental workers who work hard and live in poverty. We should care about teachers from work and life, always keep teachers in our hearts and be teachers' bosom friends. Rules and regulations bind people. Xianlin Middle School not only formulates effective conventional systems, but also formulates its own distinctive systems in combination with the school situation and the characteristics of the times. Secondly, with the teaching and research group as the platform, the school also organizes new and old teachers to "pair up" and carry out "learning from teachers" activities, and strengthens basic skills training through inspection and evaluation, teaching competition and experimental operation, and Putonghua and pen-and-chalk skill competition, so as to make them competent for teaching as soon as possible and become the backbone. At the same time, students are organized to select "good teachers in my mind" by means of "going out" and "please come in" to improve teachers' professional level, teaching art and self-improvement ability. With the continuous improvement of social material conditions and people's living standards, schools are people-oriented, care about teachers' food, clothing, housing and transportation, and solve difficulties and problems encountered in life in time. Subsidies, bonuses and welfare benefits in daily teaching work have been improved year by year, and the per capita annual income of teaching staff is in the middle of the county.
Centennial: Peach and Plum Fragrance
A hundred years, that is a hundred years of change; One hundred years, it was a hundred years of hard pursuit for dreams; A hundred years, that is a hundred years of sowing hope; One hundred years, it was a brilliant one.
Salty for a hundred years, peaches and plums are everywhere. In the past hundred years, Xianlin graduates have spread all over the world, and the list is endless. First, there are hundreds of students studying in specialized universities abroad. Yang Songxuan's father died in 1922, and only five middle school students, including Wang Hengjian and Yang Shuzu, sent mourning articles from Nagoya, Japan. Second, the proportion of well-known schools such as Peking University, Beijing Normal University, Nanjing Central University, Shanghai University and Huangpu Military Academy is quite large. Take Huangpu Military Academy as an example. Most of the earliest students in the first to seventh periods were salty students, and most of them took part in the Northern Expedition. 1925, Shaanxi underground party decided to send 16 people to study in Huangpu Military Academy, but later they were sent to Guangzhou peasant movement workshop chaired by Chairman Mao because of the Zhongshan Ship incident, and half of them were salty middle school students. Most of them later played an important role in revolutionary activities and became outstanding cadres of the party; Third, party member was the first place in Xianyang to move to Shaanxi, and established underground party organizations for a long time, which trained a large number of talents with very active thoughts for the later revolution; Fourth, the outstanding talents who graduated from salty middle schools are all over the country, from all walks of life. For example, Yang, a vertebrate paleontology scientist with world influence, Du Zhongshou, a famous Chinese linguist and character reform activist, Yang Shuzu, etc. , Pan (Ambassador to the Soviet Union), Gao (Secretary of the Secretariat of the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee), Yang Chunmao (Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress), Yan (Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee), (Director of the Shanghai Marine Meteorological Bureau), (Vice President of the Henan Provincial High School, a former work-study student of Xianzhong School), etc.
These characters are gone, a few heroes who can make contributions, look at today's people. In the great historical period of building a harmonious society, Xianlin students who work in different posts paint dazzling historical pictures with their youth, sweat, wisdom and strength. The Ministry of Education, Shaanxi Education Department, Weinan Education Bureau, xi Jiaotong University, Shaanxi Normal University, Northwest University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Qinghai Pharmaceutical Group Company, xidian university, Shaanxi Xi Middle School and other units sent congratulatory letters to congratulate Xianlin Middle School on its centenary birthday, hoping that she would fully implement Scientific Outlook on Development, strive to build the school into a modern high-quality and distinctive middle school, and train more and better high-quality builders and successors for socialist modernization.
Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is still one step away from the beginning. Faced with achievements and honors, applause and flowers, encouragement and expectation, Xianlin people who have been forging ahead have not stopped and are complacent. They understand that glory belongs to the past and the future has a long way to go. We are convinced that with the further attention and support of the county party committee, the county government and all walks of life to education, and the unremitting efforts of a group of outstanding provincial teachers, deputy director of Huaxian Education Bureau and president Ren Dechang of Xianlin Middle School, the banner of a century-old famous school in Xianlin Middle School will surely fly high.
