"Enlightenment My Life Chinese Teacher"

Fan Yang, a Chinese teacher, has been teaching on the front line for more than 30 years,

At 22 years old, as soon as he went to the podium, he was thinking,

"What are we teaching in the Chinese class?" What are we teaching? "

"Why compared with mathematics,

Chinese lessons make students feel the least? "

"Why is there a lack of correlation between a text?"

On Saturday, just night, the clock came to 6 o'clock, a old -fashioned community on Jingyu South Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, a family on the top floor was about to usher in more than 20 pushing the door. The clock walked half a circle, and everyone finally found a place to sit.

The sofa, bench, chair, the small living room was stuffed, and there was almost no room for walking. Even the kitchen door was sitting with two people. On the wall, the projector was selected by the Book of Songs. In this lecture, Fan Yang wanted to discuss the two core themes of literature with the children: the social reality of man, and the pursuit of human life.

He puts these seemingly difficult and distant propositions -in the sense of the children -in the two questions, if you are "Zhou Tianzi", you can understand what kind of social conditions can you learn through the Book of Songs? What poems are the deepest part of your human nature?

In addition to the reading of humanities, Fan Yang takes students to go out of Shuzhai for teaching

The seemingly magnificent proposition becomes concrete. Imagine himself (Zhou Tianzi), so he walked out of himself and observes a wider world. In the poem, being hit, moved, and shocked, it is for the children to go back to themselves.

不久前，语文老师郭初阳也来此旁听，据他回忆，“从6点多到9点结束，两个多小时的时间，最后樊阳和学生们说，'你们可以走了'，竟没有一个People are moving. "

Guo Chuyang also called this forum site as "a miniature learning community based on a book". The keywords here are "a book". As a Chinese teacher, the sensitivity to the "single text" and "entire book reading" are consistent. In Fan Yang's view, the language learning of a single text is not conducive to children's understanding of complete human nature. Reading the entire book can make people truly establish a view of civilization.

Today, the reading of the entire book has become the consensus of the education community. However, as early as 1991, Fan Yang, who was in Shaanxi, had guided students to read the entire book in the Chinese learning group after class.

At that time, the young Chinese teacher who was only 22 years old and who was new to the teaching position realized, "If my students do not like reading at all, my mother tongue teacher failed."

This living room of about 20 square meters was reopened after the epidemic. Every Saturday night, it turned into Fan Yang's humanistic public welfare forum. There is another thing in the living room. On a whiteboard shelf, a Chinese topographic map is sticky.

The blue ocean, colorful kingdoms, reminiscent of geographical classes of teenagers. In the eyes of Fan Yang, a Chinese teacher, the significance of the map cannot be underestimated. People have a "view of the earth" so that their thinking will not be detained on the land of Fangchi.

Fan Yang is a post -60s. He has been teaching for more than 30 years. He has still taught the sixth grade in the first line. His classroom is famous for active. For example, he will encourage students to "intervene" and encourage students to do oral history. When it comes to the rise, they will dance with the students. Because of his knowledge and attraction, students look at his eyes, even with light.

Teacher Wan Beilei and Fan Yang are in teaching in teaching

Teacher Wan Beilei is now the main manager of the humanities and public welfare forum. She first came to the Fanyang Humanities Public Welfare forum, because of the purpose of "self -interest". She wanted to "see how the great teachers were in class", which meant a bit "stealing the teacher". After listening to the "Hebrew Civilization" course, it was out of control.

Now, she is a teacher in the high school in Shanghai World Foreign Language Middle School. "Knowledge Theory" sounds a bit philosophical. The main content is to guide students and reflect on the path and method of gaining knowledge. Wan Beilei just started teaching this course. The focus is on knowledge. Sometimes he will ignore the object of knowledge transmission- "student, that is, people".

Fan Yang's classroom, as a new teacher, has inspired a lot of her. After becoming a teaching assistant of Fan Yang's Humanities and Public Welfare forum, she will also use the method of learning from Fan Yang to her teaching.

This story is simply influenced by a teacher by another teacher, which has changed his classroom. As for the classroom of "another teacher", it began to change 31 years ago.

When a Chinese teacher Fan Yang recalled his childhood Chinese classroom, his deepest impression was: old sets, boring and depression. He was born in a factory and mine in Guangyuan, Sichuan in 1969. His father was from Shanghai and relocated to Sichuan because he supported the construction of the third line. In 1980, Fan Yang moved to Xianyang, Shaanxi with his parents. He has just established the first color TV -seeking management factory in China. His parents were transferred to work here.

During the middle school, Fan Yang's memory of the Chinese class was very vague. Except for central thoughts and writing methods, notes, and wrote a word. Fan Yang, as a student, never understood what the Chinese class was learning and teaching. What?

Xianyang is the hinterland of Qinchuan, the capital of the "Qin Empire" in history. The deep historical accumulation also infected Fan Yang of the teenager. He was obsessed with classical culture. At that time, there was only one Xinhua Bookstore in the city of Xianyang. He walked for 40 minutes and only went to the bookstore to read a book. Reading has a significant impact. At that time, his interest was historically and geographical, but he never liked Chinese.

Fan Yang in the university dormitory (lower right)

In the mid -1980s, Fan Yang was admitted to Sichuan University with the first place of the school's liberal arts from Rainbow Middle School. Reading the Chinese Department is purely an accident. What he most wanted to read at the time was archeological or museum major. In memory, he felt that he was "the most uncontrollable Chinese student".

But in the 1980s, the atmosphere of poetry and romanticization deeply affected him. He and his classmates in the same bedroom practice together, watch pioneer movies, and talk about night talks. It is transmitted in the hands of the 18 -nine -year -old teenager Lang. University teachers, take students to watch Sichuan opera and visit Pioneer Painting Show together, and even invite students to come to the house to drink coffee while discussing Paris's modern and contemporary literature.

During the college period, Fan Yang began to enjoy the group books and accumulate humanistic literacy. In the largest library in the southwest, read the liberal arts frame, from the Book of Songs to "Ancient Greek Tragedy", from "Chinese Zen Poetry" to "Modernism". The scene is also in Teng Nuo: Bamboo forests in Wangjiang Tower in Chengdu, trains on the Shu Road in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the top floor of the teaching building and dormitory.

Fan Yang during the trip

The young people are enthusiastic and wrapped by the joy of freedom and wisdom, and want to join a wider world. In 1991, Fan Yang graduated from the Chinese Department of Sichuan University and was assigned back to Xianyang's parent school to teach, becoming a junior high school Chinese teacher.

"Lost a lot", because of the enlightenment of the "Golden Age", he witnessed the Chinese classroom at the time, but he was still like a pool of dead water. "Single selection", the content of Chinese teaching lacks correlation; leaving the practice of life and the teaching method of the text; Chinese seems to make students gain the least. Essence

In teaching, the suggestions given to him by other teachers are, "If you go to the podium, you must keep it, don't smile for them." Many teachers hate the students' intervening, but Fan Yang feels that the students intervene are also good. "They are also very good," they In fact, it is in the issue of your class discussion. "

The Language Group used to have a class place in Shaanxi Weihe Beach

In 1991, Fan Yang, a Chinese teacher, decided to change his classroom. In addition to a single text, take the students to read the whole book together and reproduce the learning atmosphere of free discussion when they are university.

In November of this year, he established his own language group and two or three times a week to discuss the reading content that was not involved in the textbook with students.

After the video number was sent yesterday, the audience hoped to contact the teacher in the message area, calling him "the most important cultural enlightenment teacher"

At first, Fan Yang discovered what students lacked, and added what the ancient Greek culture, the Nobel Prize in literature, and modernism. As he taught high school, he began to consciously build the context of literature and history. Many years later, some students found him at that time, saying that he didn't remember who the class teacher was, but he remembered his Chinese teacher.

Wu Liqing, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Metrology, was also a member of the Chinese group of the year. In the eyes of this typical science student, the Chinese class was once a "chicken rib". Before encountering Fan Yang, he was most afraid of the Chinese teacher asks, "Please give the text a lower paragraph", "Please summarize the central thought of this article".

However, in Fan Yang's Chinese group, Chinese is no longer the "language" with rigid and solidified in the traditional classroom, but a humanistic lesson that is linked to the various disciplines of geography, history, and philosophy.

Wu Liqing recalled that although he has been engaged in scientific research later, because of the reading training of the Chinese group, he will habitually pick up literary works and draw energy from it when he thinks about the study of science. "

In 1995, Fan Yang was transferred to Shanghai to teach the sixth grade and the first grade. The huge pressure of life has interrupted his Chinese group for two years. Soon after, he had a serious illness. When he was sick, he reflected that he had to continue to be a Chinese teacher? If you are a Chinese teacher, what is the significance of this matter?

He realized that as a Chinese teacher, the most valuable thing he felt was his own Chinese group. As a result, Fan Yang decided to restart the Chinese group and named him as "Fanyang Humanities Public Welfare forum".

At that time, Fan Yang had no house in Shanghai, and it was inconvenient to live in a collective dormitory. With the suggestion of the student, he set the site in Xi Garden, Fudan University, a secluded small garden.

▲

In the years of Xi Yuan, Fan Yang and students took photos at the lawn of Fudan University every Saturday at 3 pm. Students gathered on the lawn to talk about ancient and modern. After a year of "Xi Garden", Fan Yang finally had his own house. He moved the forum into the living room in his home. Because he was not married, the students called the era as "waiting for the wife's living room".

At the Fanyang Humanities and Public Welfare Forum, learning from the source of civilization. "The Book of Songs" has always been a highlight. Among them, a series of chapters reflect the history of the Zhou tribe in "Da Ya", similar to national epic, can easily remind people of ancient West, such as the greatest epic of ancient Greece, "Iliate", "Odyssey" " Speaking of which, Fan Yang will focus on each other. For example, why do two ethnic group treat war with different attitudes? Why do we Chinese people do this?

In addition to the Book of Songs, the classical Chinese class, from "Qu Yuan to Han Fei's death", talked about the seven sages of bamboo forest; from the border desert of the Tang Dynasty, the landscape and garden, to Dante's "Divine Comedy"; The Qing poetry of this sound talks about Pushkin and Tolstoy ...

Fan Yang takes students into the former residence of Lu Xun

After the rise of the Internet era, the influence of virtual world on students is increasing. Fan Yang is also thinking about what ways to use to allow students not to get rid of life practice. Later, he decided to take the student out of the book and opened his "humanistic walk".

At first, it started with the most close text with textbooks. Shanghai Hongkou is the place where Lu Xun lives in the last 10 years. Whenever he has a professor Lu Xun course, Fan Yang will take students to Lu Xun's former residence. At the end of 2009, he tried to take students out of Shanghai for the first time and go to Shaoxing for curriculum.

Gradually, the forum forms a regular walking plan, at least once a month in Shanghai and the surrounding courses, and the high -speed rail is about an hour. The walking layout has also gradually expanded. From 2009 to the present, there have been 25 provinces, nearly 200 cities, and thousands of students.

Fan Yang takes students to walk to the northeast

All walking locations are related to the knowledge of books. For example, when you read Song literature, you will take a trip to Hangzhou in the winter vacation; you must go to the Shanghai Temple once when you read the Analects of Confucius. Whenever the winter and summer vacations, large -scale humanities walk.

As soon as the students mentioned Du Fu, they all appeared in their minds "the image of worrying about the country and the people, the poor sorrow", but this image is always lost. One year, Fan Yang took the students to Henan, Du Fu's birthplace. In front of a cave door, under a jujube tree that was planted by later generations, he and the students recited the "Pear Jubai before the court. The trees can be thousands of times. "The children are particularly surprised," the original boy Du Fu is completely different from what they imagined. "

Du Fu's birthplace walking

In the summer vacation of 2017, "Finding Xixia Silk Road Exploring Secret" walked, from Yinchuan, Ningxia to Dunhuang, Fan Yang and students discussed the history of the west Xia civilization all the way. After listening to a lecture discussion, the deputy director Peng Xiangqian watched it. The students who arrived at Fan Yang had such a broad humanistic knowledge, and even said, "I will take you in the future, I will definitely accept you."

Fan Yang feels that it is precisely because the children's long -term "humanistic walking" allows them to have the experience that they do not have the knowledge in the book. You must establish a connection. The knowledge that breaks the life will only be reduced to a bunch of test -oriented materials.

In fact, Fan Yang's humanistic public welfare forum is a very simple thing to say. A first -line Chinese teacher, leading students to read and walk in the spare public welfare places. If there is an educational concept, he feels that it is "walk" and "reading". "Reading is actually a" walking '. When you are reading, Thinking is also gone. "

Fan Yang, a Chinese teacher, felt that the times had been changing.

In the past, people had a natural respect for teachers. This was continued by the cultural tradition. Although the teacher is poor, it is worthy of trust.

When the entire world enters the new century, everyone does pay more attention to education, but it is usually only the results of the appearance: grades. Some teachers seem to gradually no longer take "educating people" as their own responsibility, and have become "people of educating points."

In the Internet era, life is becoming more virtualized, human spiritual world is dismembered, and reading has become fragmented. The absorption of information has "keywords", and even "teaching you to read a book in five minutes", respecting efficiency, has made fewer and fewer people immersed in the entire book reading.

Fan Yang feels that the atmosphere of the exam not only has a negative impact on contemporary students, but also to adults. He "opposes the traditional score theory to draw a line", so as long as he loves reading Shanghai middle school students, he can sign up for the Humanities Public Welfare forum. National teachers who love reading and promoting and traveling courses and willing to participate in public welfare education can join the humanities community of the humanities forum.

Of course, there are also natural elimination mechanisms in the forum, and students who cannot persist will leave naturally. In contrast, there are also very cherished children.

Gu Ziyi, a student of the third grade, joined the Humanities and Public Welfare forum when he was in grade in the sixth grade (Note: The students recruiting grades from the first to high school). For the first time, she saw Fan Yang on a row of high -speed rail. She talked to Fan Yang to talk about the plot of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was attracted by the teacher's profound knowledge reserves.

Prior to this, she had never seen a teacher like Fan Yang, "really can be made with students". Students can meet the teachers' opinions, they can speak freely, and they can jump out of the "standard answer" to think. For her, the deepest feeling in the forum is "freedom of knowledge". This freedom has more confirmation on Fan Yang. Although it lasted for 30 years, doing front -line Chinese teachers in the system, his evaluation of students was not limited by the so -called success.

Fan Yang takes students to walk on the banks of the Suzhou River

"I don't care how many four famous universities they have tested. I am proud that my students have the minds and thoughts. No matter what they do, they have the courage of creativity and expression. They are not willing to sink."

In 2005, he was particularly proud of a student, a child who was "a bit like an ugly duckling in the trial education". "When she was in junior high school that year, the mathematics examination was always inaccurate. The pressure of the exam was too great. I always had a stomach pain and headache. Later, I took them to read" Little Prince ". Although I did not get a particularly good school later, But she loves reading and education. Now she is a kindergarten teacher. I think her life is very fulfilling and meaningful, so why do I have to read Peking University and Tsinghua? "

Now, nearly half of the instructor teachers in the forum are students who have studied in the forum that year. In addition to Chinese teachers, there are various disciplines of biology, geography, and history. They have been nourished here by humanistic education, and then come back to nourish more people.

For a long time, Fan Yang was not understood, and parents would find him. "My children are not learning well in Chinese. I hope you can take him." Fan Yang will explain. ","

At the end of 2021, Fanyang Humanities and Public Welfare Forum 30 years of literature and culture lectures

"Humanities Course in Chinese and Western" publishing

Although the intention is not score, Fan Yang has always believed that if a child has a perspective of humanistic learning, the grades in the class will never be bad. He has brought the third day of 8 consecutive years, and his Chinese scores have always ranked among Shanghai, "using practice to prove the value of humanistic learning."

In Fan Yang's view, human education is concerned about the integrity of human life, not the course of depression or extreme utilitarian, and it has continuous vitality.

As for a Chinese teacher, why should we bring children to study and learn human knowledge in public welfare? It can be said that this is an educational ideal. In the era of increasingly quick success, it returns to the "fine cultivation" education method. In a sense, it can also be said that a person, because he is "enlightened" by humanities, he wants to let the torch shine more.

This lighting is almost the essence of education.
