Three articles on improving college students' humanistic quality

College students improve their humanistic quality. The cultural quality is not high, the knowledge structure is single, and the national spirit is lacking. Many college students have a wide range of hobbies and knowledge. However, there are also some college students who lack knowledge of literature and history and have a shallow cultural background. Below, I will share with you articles on improving the humanistic quality of college students, providing reference for learning. Welcome to reading.

At present, due to various factors, some college students have poor humanistic quality. First of all, the cultural literacy is not high, the knowledge structure is single, and the national spirit is lacking. Many college students have a wide range of hobbies and knowledge, but some college students lack knowledge of literature and history and have a shallow cultural background. The knowledge structure is single, which shows that it has professional knowledge, but it generally lacks the necessary literacy of humanities and social sciences such as literature, history, philosophy and art, the basic understanding of the essence of the nation's long history and culture, and the profound national cultural literacy.

Secondly, the moral standard is not high, and social morality is out of order. As a social norm, morality has historical continuity, which ensures social stability, interpersonal harmony and social and personal development. College students should be loyal guardians of the orderly and stable development of society, but some college students have low civilized quality and weak consciousness of observing social morality. For example, some people are very particular about personal hygiene, but they are used to messy dormitories; Do not care for public property, do not pay attention to books, and scribble on the desk; Swearing, uncivilized behavior, etc. Third, the values of the subject of life are unclear, and there is a lack of social responsibility in the choice of values.

Contemporary college students are a pragmatic generation, showing a general trend of pragmatism, personalization and utilitarianism. Many college students have turned from social standard to individual standard, from pursuing ideals to paying attention to interests, and from hero worship to utilitarianism. In the pursuit of material and spirit, one-sided pursuit of material interests, lack of social ideals. In the sense of moral responsibility, the ultimate concern for society is indifferent.

2 1 century college students should not only have high scientific literacy, but also have corresponding humanistic literacy, constantly enrich their humanistic knowledge and improve their humanistic literacy in all aspects.

First of all, we should study humanities knowledge hard. Humanistic knowledge, including literature, art, history, philosophy, history of science and technology and ethics, is the basis of forming humanistic quality. As a high-level talent pool, if college students don't understand the culture and history of China, how can they have feelings and a sense of responsibility for the country and the nation? How can we talk about serving and contributing to the country and the nation? It is in this sense that Academician Yang Shuzi once asked his doctoral graduates to recite The Analects of Confucius and Laozi before the thesis defense, otherwise they could not participate in the doctoral thesis defense.

Academician Yang believes that doctoral students, as national high-level talents, cannot but understand the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Let students recite the Analects of Confucius and Laozi, which can cultivate the sense of national responsibility, exercise the ability of thinking in images and learn how to be a man. In fact, many famous scientists have high literary and artistic attainments. For example, Einstein was a great physicist and could play the violin skillfully. Li Siguang, a geologist in China, is the founder of geomechanics, but he is also the creator of China's first violin music "Hard to Walk".

Secondly, mold the ideal personality. As college students in the new century, they should have a high sense of responsibility and mission to mankind and the motherland. Only by understanding the society, oneself and their responsibilities to society can we love the motherland, the people and the collective, and correctly handle the relationship between individuals and the collective, between individuals and society, and between individuals and the motherland. The ideal personality is manifested in the ideological style of persisting in truth and seeking truth from facts. In the process of class, experiment, homework, examination and writing graduation thesis, we should avoid perfunctory and perfunctory phenomena, and resolutely put an end to bad behaviors such as opportunism, fraud and cheating in exams.

Third, shape your own spiritual home. College students should have noble personality spirit, emotional interest, moral integrity, temperament and demeanor and other internal potential and external image. Get rid of the influence of all uncivilized and vulgar tastes, establish a value orientation and ideal pursuit with historical rationality, criticize and abandon the wrong value orientation, and establish values that reflect the spirit of the times and the national spirit. Let you get the material world without relying on knowledge and skills? Home? And then you can't find the spiritual world because of lost values and lost thoughts? Home? Become a rich man in the material world and a wanderer in the spiritual world.

Finally, actively participate in social practice activities. College students should exercise themselves in various social practice activities. College students' participation in social practice activities can not only cultivate their social service ability, but also cultivate their awareness of social service, understand the significance of social roles, receive humanistic and moral education from working people, and develop qualities beneficial to society and others.

As the value and ideal created by human culture and the inner soul of people's real cultural life, humanistic spirit occupies a core position in the quality structure of people's all-round development. College students who lack humanistic spirit have shallow thoughts and no heavy feelings. Only by strengthening the humanistic spirit and improving humanistic quality can college students in the new century play an effective role in practice and truly become qualified talents with both scientific spirit and humanistic background needed by society.

The development of modern science, especially the development of high technology today, has greatly changed the material civilization and technical means of the whole world. On the one hand, these changes have brought convenience and comfort to people's lives, on the other hand, they have also brought many problems to people's thoughts and spirits. The initiative and initiative of a considerable number of people have been greatly restricted with the development of science and technology. In the era of machinery industry, people suggested that people should not be slaves to machines. Now we have crossed the mechanical age and entered the information age. In fact, we are now facing a very big crisis, that is, we are likely to become slaves of information. Is all this philosophical? Alienation? . People are more and more restricted by the environment and creation they create, and now this situation is more and more serious. ? Alienation? It is always associated with material life, which makes people's material desires constantly expand.

Then, with the development of science and material civilization, how can people play their initiative and not be led by machines, information and material desires? This is a very big problem.

Scientific reflection

In today's highly developed science and technology and material civilization, how to carry forward the humanistic spirit? What kind of humanistic spirit should we promote? Do people need humanistic accomplishment? These are the tension and coordination between modern civilization and science and technology that we need to study and discuss now.

In China's traditional culture, emphasizing people's initiative, on the one hand, weakens God's control over people, on the other hand, emphasizes people's initiative in material desires. Because of this, there are many discussions about material desires and ethics in China traditional culture, and solving this problem is very important for the promotion of personality. Xunzi? Cultivation "cloud:? A gentleman's business is a matter of small personnel. ? In Xunzi's mind, gentlemen and villains are at different levels. Gentlemen actively control and use this thing, while villains are dominated and controlled by things. This problem can be discussed from many levels: enslaved or enslaved, which is from the perspective of education and cultivation; From the practical point of view, it is a question of righteousness and benefit, a question of forgetting righteousness by sarira, or a question of forgetting righteousness by seeing profit; Further discussion in theory is that it is a question of justice and human desire.

In the second half of the 20th century, with the rapid development of western scientific and technological civilization, a new humanistic trend of thought arose in the west. The possibility that human beings will once again become slaves of machines makes western thinkers return to the East to look for the humanistic spirit of the East. They are all very interested in the issues of justice and human desire, meaning and profit, and serving things or serving things, and believe that new humanism should find its roots in eastern culture. Therefore, the humanistic spirit has been mentioned in a state of synchronous development with scientific and technological civilization.

Due to the increasingly fine division of labor and disciplines in modern society, the knowledge structure of each of us has become more and more narrow. In the past, education was divided into three aspects: family education, social education and school education. All these three aspects should focus on quality education, supplemented by skill education. Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote an article "Teacher's Theory". Teachers, so preach, teach and dispel doubts. Teaching? It is closer to the teaching of professional knowledge today; ? Preach? 、? Solve doubts? , are all problems in the cultivation of humanistic quality.

As an educator, you should put? Preach? 、? Solve doubts? First, then what? Teaching? . Teachers are engineers of the human soul, but now our teachers' work is more and more than just teaching. This is not only an education problem in China, but also in the whole world. Is it necessary for our education to cultivate people who are skilled and don't care about anything else? Is it to cultivate people who have studied deeply in one field but know nothing about other fields? This problem is becoming more and more serious now, which has caused people all over the world to think about education. In today's highly developed science and technology and material civilization, how to carry forward the humanistic spirit? What kind of humanistic spirit should we promote? Do people need humanistic accomplishment? These are the tension and coordination between modern civilization and science and technology that we need to study and discuss now.

This problem has a lot to do with our understanding of science. In the 1920s, China had a story about? Science and outlook on life? Great discussion. At that time, people who thought that science could solve all problems thought that the problem of outlook on life could also be solved through science. Another school thinks that outlook on life does not belong to the category of science, and the problem of outlook on life should be solved by traditional metaphysical things. When we review this issue today, we should say that there are both contradictions and coordination between the two. We should not completely oppose the two, thinking that the problem of outlook on life will be solved, or that the problem of outlook on life will be solved with a scientific way of thinking. This is not comprehensive.

Modern people see more and more that they are actually problems in different fields, and the scientific way of thinking and research methods are very different from those of humanities. According to traditional science, it is an empirical science, which is studied in a static relationship. For example, in scientific experiments conducted in the laboratory, its conclusions should be universal, repeatable and verifiable. However, the humanities is studied in a dynamic way, and it is always changing. In dynamic research, there are many uncertainties, especially fuzzy aspects. For a long period of time, mainly from the 1920s, the humanities research conducted qualitative and quantitative analysis on the problems encountered by humanities with the help of natural science methods. From a historical point of view, this process is progressive and promotes the development of humanities.

But fundamentally speaking, it can't really touch the inside story or spirit of humanity. Humanities are always dynamic, and static research methods may ignore some important issues. Because any clarity is always clear about a certain aspect, the clearer it is, the narrower its scope of application is sometimes. By the second half of the 20th century, that is, after the 1970s, people felt that this mechanical method was not enough in natural science, and they needed to learn from the research methods of humanities. So there are many nonlinear theories in natural science theory. For example, the problem of fuzziness is to learn from some ways of thinking in humanities and apply it to natural science. People find that sometimes it is vague, but it is closer to the original appearance of things. So we can't look at science and humanities in opposition.

The meaning of human nature

? Take history as a mirror? It is not only to master knowledge, but also to grasp human spirit. We are now strengthening cultural education and increasing humanistic content, which is not only a phenomenon. The significance of humanism is not to ask people to learn more historical knowledge and recite more poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, but to appreciate life and cultivate temperament.

A scientist's humanistic quality is also of great help to his scientific research. Natural science researchers should first have a broad vision, broad mind and cooperative spirit. I think it is difficult to do this without a high level of humanistic and moral cultivation. And if you can't do this, I don't think a person's career can do much. Professor Li Zhengdao, a Nobel Prize in Literature winner, said: My life's principles of doing things and being a man are based on Du Fu? Fine reasoning physics must eat, drink and be merry, why use two floating poems to trip this body as a criterion. Look at everything in the world carefully and do something you like, happy and beneficial. You don't have to give up what you like to do for some empty name. ? It can be seen that learning physics is his pleasure. Floating name? This is a constraint for him. Because of this, Li Zhengdao has a broad vision and broad mind to engage in cutting-edge physics research.

For a person, the biggest constraint is the lock of fame and fortune. If he can break through the lock of fame and fortune, he will be able to broaden his horizons, open his mind and cooperate with others. Ma Yinchu, president of Peking University, once wrote a couplet: Don't bully, just look at the flowers in front of the pavilion. Going or staying is unintentional, and it is easy to go with the flow. ? Such an open mind must be based on profound humanistic qualities, and only in this way can great things be achieved.

In China's traditional culture or education, this question is a person's attitude towards learning, that is, what is the purpose of our study. Confucius said:? Ancient scholars were themselves, and today's scholars are human beings. ? Ancient people read to improve their self-cultivation, but today people read to show others. You see, how knowledgeable and capable I am. . This is the so-called? Learn by yourself? And then what? Learn from others? . The most fundamental thing is, of course? Learn by yourself? Actually, that is? How to be a man? . How to become a perfect person with noble character and how to make yourself a real person depends on yourself, and the key is cultivation. In short, external factors must also play a role through internal factors.

Now I think it is necessary to add some humanities to quality education. Humanities mainly refer to literature, history and philosophy. Literature includes literature, art and even language; History of course refers to history; Philosophy, in a broad sense, also includes religion. Therefore, literature, art, history, religion and philosophy all belong to the humanities, and the purpose is to cultivate a person. Subjects such as politics, economics and law are social sciences because they focus on developing skills. Why study literature, art, philosophy and history? In Sima Qian's words, that is? On the occasion of studying heaven and man, can we change from ancient times to modern times and become a family statement? .

On the one hand, China's traditional culture attaches importance to grasping the natural operation law of the universe, on the other hand, it attaches importance to people's own historical accumulated experience. So to sum up, is the humanities in China known to you? Take heaven as a mirror and history as a mirror? This truth is that we don't leave nature, but live in the whole nature. We grasp the law of natural operation, but we can't destroy it at will. The Analects? In Taber, Confucius praised: It's great that Yao Shun is king! Awesome! Only the sky is big, only Yao is the sky. ? What is the greatness of Yao? Take the sky as the rule? That is, taking nature as the law.

At the same time, China people have a very strong view of history. Take history as a mirror? Taking history as a mirror, the history of China is also the most detailed in the world. But? Take history as a mirror? It is not only to master knowledge, but also to grasp human spirit. We are now strengthening cultural education and increasing humanistic content, which is not only a phenomenon. The significance of humanism is not to ask people to learn more historical knowledge and recite more poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, but to appreciate life and cultivate temperament. Life is small and great, life is short and eternal, and human beings are such a contradiction. We can transform the world, create the future and send people to heaven; However, when nature comes, we cannot resist it. Therefore, we should appreciate the greatness and insignificance of human beings through humanities, realize the brevity and eternity of life, and establish the ambition of living together with heaven and earth and keeping pace with ancient sages and sages. This is fundamental.

The significance of studying humanities lies in self-cultivation, thus changing our character, enhancing our sentiment, improving our taste, and finally finding a place to live. As the saying goes, people know themselves? . This is from Chapter 33 of Laozi. He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. ? We know others, at best, we are wise, but do we know ourselves? Ming? . ? Wisdom? And then what? Ming? There are two levels. Wang Bi explained this sentence in Wei and Jin Dynasties. People who know others are smart. If he doesn't know himself, he knows he is super smart. ? It is easy to know people, but it is difficult to know yourself clearly. So-called? Bystanders see clearly, but the authorities are confused? This is often the case for most people, individuals and all mankind.

It is easier for us humans to know objective nature, but it is much more difficult to know ourselves. When we know more about nature, we will get carried away and think that we are great, but we ignore the small side of human beings. So I often quote a sentence from Chapter 34 of Laozi. The road is wide and can be controlled. It is not successful to do everything according to one's fate without caring. ? Youdao is never conceited, it has such boldness of vision. If not, it will lose its ability to raise everything. It is precisely because it does not think it is very big after all. So it can be a big one? . So I think it is easy for human beings to know their greatness, but it is very painful and difficult to know their smallness, especially to admit their smallness. However, it is you who must know your own smallness to achieve your greatness. Therefore, I think humanistic quality is not to learn some humanistic knowledge, but to experience humanistic spirit.

The improvement of literacy three humanistic literacy can't be empty talk. We should read more books on humanities and learn more humanistic knowledge, but don't just study it as knowledge and don't show it off, but realize life and our life value in it.

First, we should establish the basic moral character of being a man. Its core has three points: shame, trustworthiness and honesty. It is very important for a person to have a little sense of shame. If a person has no sense of shame at all, he dares to do anything. Don't think that you can't do anything with shame. In fact, keeping a sense of shame is a person's most basic character. I don't need to say much about keeping my promise. If a person? Keep your word? Who else will deal with him? How can we stand in this society? Honesty is also very important. Mencius put it forward? A gentleman? Three conditions:? Wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent? . It is not easy to do these three things! Some people think that our current quality education is mainly about educating everyone what kind of person they are. I said? Wrong? Quality education first teaches how to be a man. Moral character is the most important thing. Only by being a good person first can we further say what kind of person we are.

Second, we must follow the most basic social ethics, one is to do our best, and the other is to be dedicated and trustworthy. In other words, in any position, we should be ourselves, not so-so, and be dedicated and trustworthy. Each of us is not alone. If everyone fails to perform their duties, is not dedicated and keeps promises, problems will occur in this society. In the past, many people criticized China's Confucianism for suppressing and restraining individuality, so now many young people are eager to display individuality and want to design themselves. It's good to have such a wish. However, I often warn young people that real value is realized in groups and society, not alone in a room. The realization of personal value is very simple, that is, to be recognized by others, groups or society, that is to say, you have made contributions to the group and society. It is impossible to realize personal value without making contributions. The realization of personal value cannot be separated from this society.

The third is the cultivation of aesthetic taste and artistic spirit. The influence of art on people is subtle, and a person's artistic aesthetic taste can well reflect his noble or low moral character. China traditional culture also attaches great importance to the combination of philosophy and artistic accomplishment. China's art has rich connotations, and a poem or a painting often contains rich philosophies. Similarly, China's philosophy is very artistic, so China's art and philosophy are integrated. The art I'm talking about here is broad, not just piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but mainly from its connotation. Artistic spirit is an understanding of the meaning and value of society and life. What kind of art a person likes can well reflect his moral quality.

On the other hand, by appreciating art, we can constantly cultivate our own temperament, and we can also have a new experience of the value of life. In western tradition, education means imparting knowledge, while morality is cultivated through religion. This also had a great influence on modern China, so China should establish a religion as the state religion in modern times. At that time, it was proposed by Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University? Replace religion with aesthetic education? . He believes that aesthetic education can replace the role of religion, cultivate people's temperament and cultivate people's moral character. This is very suitable for China's traditional culture, because China's religious concept has always been weak, but its artistic spirit is very developed. Moreover, art is embodied in all aspects, and art pays attention to harmonious and unified layout. If you can appreciate this business arrangement and have a high artistic accomplishment, then you can handle things artistically, whether in communication with people or in business management.

Fourthly, it is also very important to deal with environmental problems. The so-called ability to cope with the environment is to treat life smartly. Xunzi? Have:? Gentleman's learning is not for communication, but for poverty, not for sleepiness. He is worried and has persistent intentions. He always knows the good and the bad, but his heart is not chaotic. ? So-called? Pass? , is the apprentice; ? Poor? It's just bumpy, not smooth. We study and research, not for the sake of high officials, but for the sake of keeping our heads down when encountering all kinds of bumps and troubles, keeping a firm will and not being confused about disasters, happiness and life and death. This is the most fundamental, people should have a very strong ability to adapt to the environment.

Because there is one here? Only? And then what? What time? Here comes the problem. ? When a husband meets someone who is not satisfied with him, he will; Those who have virtue without virtue are also talented; A gentleman is knowledgeable and versatile, and there are many people who are out of date! ? Therefore, Xunzi said that talent and incompetence lie in me, but it is a problem of the environment. Many talented people have no good opportunities and can't play; But there are opportunities without talents, and it is even more impossible to give full play to them. Therefore, a person should be able to correctly understand and treat his talents and opportunities. Nowadays, many people think that their unhappiness is caused by bad environment, and few people ask themselves. Therefore, many people will complain when they encounter these problems. As a result, they are more and more divorced from the surrounding environment, and the road to realizing their ideals and ambitions is getting narrower and narrower.

Fifth, we should pay attention to our self-cultivation and appearance, which is both internal and external. Instrument is external, self-restraint is internal. Some people think that appearance is entirely their own business. It doesn't matter whether you are sloppy or casual. Actually, it's not exactly like this! This will affect many problems. If you don't sweep a room, why sweep the world? . The most important thing in self-cultivation kung fu is to ask questions modestly and treat others modestly. Is it mentioned in Zhouyi? Is humanism evil, kind and modest? . ? English? It is complacency. If you are complacent, you will not accept new ideas and good suggestions, and you will not improve. Confucius looked at the Zhou Temple and saw a sacrificial vessel. This device is very strange. Repeat when it is full, be embarrassed when it is empty, and be positive when it is moderate. When it is full, it will fall, when it is empty, it will tilt, and it will be correct only when it is loaded to an appropriate level. This illustrates the truth that it is no good to be empty, and it is no good to be too complacent. Only by being appropriate and modest can we be upright.

Sixth, humanistic quality should be implemented on the recognition of the meaning and value of life. Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence? Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later? It shows such a spirit and understanding of the meaning and value of life. This is also the ultimate goal of humanistic quality. Only in this way can we determine where we live. All our spiritual cultivation, our understanding and grasp of human subjectivity and human initiative, the greatness and smallness of human beings, and the brevity and eternity of life should be embodied in our understanding of life and its value. Because humanistic quality can't be empty talk. We should read more books on humanities and learn more humanistic knowledge, but don't just study it as knowledge and don't show it off, but realize life and our life value in it.
