Shuguang Middle School Shuguang School History

Shuguang Middle School has gone through the whole historical process of 9 1 year since it was founded in 1924, during which it has developed from a small junior middle school with poor equipment to a complete middle school with complete school buildings and advanced equipment. From an ordinary junior high school in the early days of China's democratic revolution to a famous middle school in China's socialist period; From a local middle school, it has developed into a national model ordinary high school.

Since 9 1 year, Shuguang Middle School has trained more than 50,000 talents from all walks of life for the motherland. They are not only spread all over the motherland, but also far away from other countries in the world, and have made great contributions to their hometown, motherland and the world. A large number of outstanding figures have emerged among them, including revolutionary martyrs, political activists, academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, scientists, experts and scholars, artists, writers and performing artists, athletes, builders and managers from all walks of life, and selfless workers and laborers who are unknown in various positions.

It should also be pointed out that Shuguang Middle School has also trained teachers. There are thousands of teachers around Shuguang Middle School, and they have also developed and expanded in their teaching work. They either become lifelong excellent teachers or become excellent workers, experts and scholars from all walks of life.

The birth, growth, development and brilliant achievements of Shuguang Middle School in 9 1 year are recorded in this school history in detail.

Why can Shuguang Middle School achieve such great development and such brilliant achievements? There are undoubtedly many reasons for this.

The first reason is the development of China society. Without the 80-year development of China society, there would be no dawn development. Dawn is the product of social development in China and an integral part of social development in China. The development of Shuguang Middle School is a reflection of the social development in China, and the social development in China is the big environment and the fundamental reason for the development of Shuguang Middle School.

The second reason is that the school's superior leaders, school leaders, all teachers, school staff and all students work hard and study hard with the idea of rejuvenating China, developing education, cultivating talents and serving the society, so that all the work of the school can flourish and flourish.

Of course, there are other reasons that readers can explore from the school history. I just want to say one reason, that is, the role of the motto of "public ability" in the development of Shuguang Middle School.

Many schools have school motto as the code of conduct for all teachers and students, but it doesn't necessarily play any role. Often exist in name only. However, the "function" of Shuguang's school motto has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for decades since it was put forward, and all previous students have been deeply impressed by it, and everything they say and do is deeply influenced by the school motto. The motto of "Function" was originally stipulated by Zhang Boling, an old educator, for Nankai Middle School in 1934. After he served as the chairman of the board of directors of Shuguang Middle School on 1938, he also stipulated that "function" was the motto of Shuguang Middle School. The new principal, Yu Chuanjian, wrote eight characters of "serving the public wholeheartedly and striving to empower" embedded in the wall. The school motto is more than just a slogan. In his three-year improvement plan (the plan of transforming Shuguang junior middle school into a complete middle school), President Yu Chuanjian has specified a series of measures to implement "public ability", including "public ability" training for students' all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, which is really no different from what we call all-round quality education today. "Common Ability" can be said to be the most concise summary of this kind of quality education, which is the easiest for people to grasp and understand and the most convenient for people to practice.

China has long divided people's quality into two aspects: public morality and ability. The Book of Changes says: "Confucius said,' A gentleman learns by virtue'". "Virtue" is moral character, and "industry" is business and achievement, that is, ability. The Book of Rites says: "Choose talents and be able". "Virtue" means good moral character, and "ability" means good business and strong ability. Confucius divided people's excellent qualities into benevolence, wisdom and courage, benevolence is virtue, wisdom is reason and wisdom, and courage is virtue and strength. Confucius taught people six arts, the contents of which are equivalent to today's morality (courtesy), intelligence (literature, mathematics), physique (shooting, imperial), beauty (music) and labor (shooting, imperial). Later, Han Yu said, "Teachers preach, teach and solve doubts" ("Teacher's Theory"). These three aspects are moral character, specialty and answers to their questions. Zhang Boling's school motto "Common Ability" just captures these two basic aspects of people's quality-virtue and talent, which is the most concise summary. Of course, Zhang Boling can't take such a neutral concept as virtue and morality as his school motto, and then use "public" to represent good morality, which is precisely the essence of morality. The so-called morality or moral character is indeed problematic for oneself, but it is more fundamental for people to deal with the relationship between people. If there is only one person in the world, there is no moral problem at all, and there is no problem for yourself. How to deal with public-private relations is the core of ethical relations. Therefore, China's traditional morality puts "public interest" (putting the overall interests before personal interests) and "benevolence" (love) in a prominent position, and advocates "the world is public", "the world is one country", "worrying about the world first and enjoying it", "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" and so on. This view has carried out the whole history of the Chinese nation. In particular, Zhang Boling is a modern democratic educator and Mao Zedong is a proletarian revolutionary, but their generalizations of human qualities are highly consistent.

Mao Zedong's speech at 1942 Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art talked about measuring literary and artistic works, which are also two standards to measure the quality of literary and artistic workers. He called one a political standard and the other an artistic standard. The former is a question of why people are, while the latter is a question of how people are and how their artistic level is. He pointed out that there are differences between the two and they cannot be confused. "Our requirements are the unity of politics and art, the unity of content and form, the unity of revolutionary political content and the perfect art form as much as possible. A work of art that lacks artistry has no power no matter how advanced it is politically. Therefore, we oppose both works of art with wrong political views and the so-called' slogan slogan' political tendency with only correct political views and no artistic power. " (Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume 3, p. 870) Later, Mao Zedong extended his requirements for artistic work to all work, calling it politics and business or red and professional. He said: "the relationship between red and specialty, politics and business is the unity of two opposites." We must criticize the tendency not to ask politics. On the one hand, we should oppose short politicians, on the other hand, we should oppose practical scientists who have lost their way. There is no doubt about the unity of politics and economy and politics and technology. This is the case every year, always. " (Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume 7, page 35/kloc-0) Mao Zedong's so-called "politics" is broad, that is, position, direction, morality and purpose. He uses a fashionable term, which is value orientation or values. He believes that the word politics will be used forever, but its content will change. In other words, it is a highly abstract concept, which refers to the values or value standards that no one can live without. "Specialty", "business" and "technology" refer to talents, abilities, means and methods, which is another major aspect that no one can do without. Just like a ship sailing in the sea, two things are indispensable to get from one shore to the other, one is the rudder and the other is the engine.

Since the reform and opening up, people's favorite concept is morality and talent, which is the so-called "having both ability and political integrity". "Virtue" refers to good moral character, that is, virtue; "Talent" is ability. For example, Chen Yun said, "You should have both ability and political integrity, but morality comes first." (Selected Works of Chen Yun, Volume 3, page 359) Deng Xiaoping said: "We should pay attention to training people and select people with both ability and political integrity into the ranks according to the standards of' revolutionization, youthfulness, knowledge and specialization'." (Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping, Vol.3, p.380) Deng Xiaoping's "four haves" of "being thoughtful, moral, educated and disciplined" can also be summarized in two aspects. The all-round quality education, one of the research hotspots in the field of education in the 1990s, and the all-round development of people, which Jiang Zemin talked about many times, can finally be summed up in two aspects: morality and talent. Among all kinds of virtues, "public" is the main one, and Marxism calls it socialist collectivism. Both are indispensable. It is one-sided to emphasize only one aspect or one aspect. Of course, it can't be denied that in different times, different regions, different perspectives and different positions, the specific content of virtue and talent will be different, even quite different, but it can't be denied that virtue and talent are the same as * * *, nor can it be denied that all kinds of public and energy are the same as * * *. The main purpose of the above explanation is to demonstrate that having both ability and political integrity or taking the public as the ability is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation to train and select talents for thousands of years, and it is also the main spiritual driving force to promote the continuous development of Shuguang Middle School throughout the two eras. Although the social system in China has undergone fundamental changes, the nature of Shuguang Middle School has also changed. The school motto of "function" has been promoting the vigorous development of the school and the vigorous growth of students. As mentioned earlier, when Zhang Boling defined "common ability" as the motto of Shuguang School, the cultivation of "common ability" was implemented in the school's education plan, and the idea of "common ability" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when I graduated from high school 1942 class, I left a "public energy platform"; 1942 When I graduated from junior high school, I left "Gongneng Road" as a souvenir. Later, many teachers and students talked about the influence and function of the school motto "function" when they recalled their experiences in Shuguang. The most prominent example is the centenarian headmaster Chang. On the occasion of his 90th birthday, he wrote the article "I and Shuguang Middle School", summing up his experience as a teacher or leader in Shuguang for more than ten years, that is, practicing the school motto of "function". He summed up this experience as 16, which was praised by his students as "based on public ability, strict requirements, diligent study and all-round development". The most prominent theme in Essays in Commemorating the Centennial Birthday of the Old President Chen Zhe is the school motto of "function", which makes this book almost a "ode to function".

Facts tell us that "ability" is not controversial, and no one opposes that everyone should have the ability; There has been a constant controversy about "fairness", especially since the reform and opening up, collectivism has been criticized for implementing the socialist market economy. Some people think that individualism should replace collectivism as the dominant value. However, the development of Shuguang Middle School proves that the motto of "Gongneng" has been playing a positive role. It not only played an active role in the era of national liberation struggle and people's liberation struggle, but also played an active role in the era of socialist transformation and construction and in the era of reform and opening up. We have sufficient evidence to affirm that in the historical stage of building a well-off socialist society in an all-round way, the school motto of "public ability" is still the spiritual driving force for the development of Shuguang middle school education. Therefore, while warmly celebrating the 90th anniversary of Shuguang Middle School, we will reflect on the history of the past 90 years and look forward to the future. Shuguang Middle School will certainly continue to vigorously carry forward the motto of "function", so that the majority of Shuguang students will deeply and forever engrave the word "function" in their hearts and practice it.

I fully believe that in the whole education work, Shuguang Middle School will inherit the fine tradition forged by the older generation of educators for Shuguang Middle School, combine the requirements of socialist modernization in the motherland, implement the school motto of "public ability" in comprehensive quality education, and cultivate more and better outstanding talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique for the motherland.
