(1) In the tide of the development of commodity economy, there have been some unhealthy moral tendencies, such as harming others and not benefiting themselves, enjoying leisure, coveting enjoyment, putting personal interests first and so on. These thoughts are also reflected in teenagers, such as indifference to state affairs, lack of correct motivation in learning, self-centeredness, selfishness, fraud, pursuit of enjoyment, pursuit of "brand-name" products and so on.
In view of these situations, 1995, the State Education Commission officially promulgated the Outline of Moral Education in Middle Schools. We feel that the proposal of "Chinese excellent moral tradition education" in the Outline is profound in content and far-reaching.
China has a civilization history of more than 5,000 years, and correspondingly has a long and profound moral tradition. Its essence not only shines in thousands of years of history, but also has been and is being valued by more and more countries and people in the world.
China's traditional virtue permeates the content of moral education. For example, the patriotic spirit sublimated on the basis of loving the collective and caring for others, the ideal idea of making contributions and aiming high, and the excellent moral character of diligence and thrift, loving labor and obeying the law all shine with the brilliance of Chinese traditional virtues. We often tell students "learn from Lei Feng", and the spirit of Lei Feng actually embodies the brilliance of virtue. For example, Lei Feng's love for the motherland and the people embodies "loyalty", his concern for others and service for the people embodies "benevolence", and his diligence in learning and practicing skills embodies "diligence" ... To learn from Lei Feng, we must essence the spirit and trace back to the source. This "source" is the traditional virtue of China.
There are two ways to correct the wrong tendency in teenagers' thoughts, resist the erosion of decadent bourgeois ideas and improve students' ideological and moral quality. One is "blocking", that is, "code", "norm" and discipline are used to stipulate what can and can't be done, and serious violators are punished. Another method is "guidance", which educates and guides students to develop actively with correct concepts and standards. The important content used for "guidance" is Chinese traditional virtue. If "blocking" is anti-inflammatory and eliminating evil spirits for mental illness, then "guiding" is nourishing and nourishing.
Our school has a school building with novel design and modern flavor, with high standards and complete teaching and equipment. To truly build a high-standard new school, we must have a spiritual strength to unite everyone. Therefore, our school takes "cultivating personality and morality", "carrying out moral education of the Chinese nation" and "carrying out education to inherit and carry forward the national cultural tradition and national spirit" as one of its primary tasks. The practice of running a school in recent years has proved that this decision is correct and effective. Strengthening the education of Chinese traditional virtues is of great significance for cultivating a new generation of qualified successors, forming a good school spirit and building a new school.

Chinese traditional virtues are broad and profound. Combined with reality, let's highlight some of them first:
The first is the word "filial piety". In ancient times, there was a saying that "filial piety comes first" and "filial piety comes first"; There is also a story in the New Three-Character Classics about Kong Rong warming pear yellow fragrance. "Filial piety" is filial piety to parents and respect for elders, and its essence is the idea of knowing the roots and being grateful. This is a person's most basic morality. In the past, it was said that "cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order, and govern the country to level the world". Only when one's self-personality is perfect can one manage his family well and then the world well. This progressive relationship of personality is very reasonable. How can a person who has no sense of responsibility for his family have a sense of responsibility for society? From the social effect, filial piety makes the family harmonious and the society stable, which is also worth advocating. Only when teenagers honor their parents at home can they respect their teachers and care about society outside and become responsible people.
The second is the word "benevolence". "Benevolence" means kindness, kindness and love, that is, "the benevolent loves others" and "doing good is the happiest". This is the idea of caring for others and putting their interests first when dealing with the relationship between individuals and others. Today, it means loving and serving the people. Learning from Lei Feng, doing good deeds, donating money for Project Hope and helping the disabled are all manifestations of love, kindness, noble character and powerful ideological weapons to resist egoism. Teenagers should have a kind heart to become useful people to society.
The third is the word "diligence". In ancient times, there was a saying that "a year's plan lies in spring, and a lifetime's plan lies in diligence" and "diligence can make up for mistakes". It is not enough for a person to have good wishes. Only through practical efforts and overcoming many difficulties can he achieve the expected effect and achieve the goal of victory. "Diligence" becomes a bridge to success. This is especially true for young students. "Diligence" includes diligent study, diligent labor and diligent thinking. There are many stories about diligence in the new three-character sutra, such as fireflies reflecting snow and hanging beams stabbing stocks. Overcoming fluky psychology and cultivating diligent work style is not only a world outlook, but also a methodology. Develop a diligent style. Will benefit young people for life.
The fourth is the word "loyalty". "Loyalty" is the spirit of "serving the country faithfully", "keeping the heart and not forgetting the sweat" and "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". It is a noble character that is willing to sacrifice personal interests and selfless dedication for the benefit of the country and the whole. It has been praised by the people since ancient times. From Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Zheng Chenggong and Lin Zexu ... For modern * * * party member, it is necessary to take the world as its own responsibility and be determined to make contributions to the people of the motherland.
Among the above four contents, the word "filial piety" is the foundation and the requirement of starting; The word "diligence" is a guarantee. Without diligence, any goal will become empty talk; The word "benevolence" is fundamental and a kind of outlook on life; The word "loyalty" is the highest realm. High-level pursuit runs through filial piety, benevolence and diligence. A person who is loyal to the motherland is bound to honor his parents at home, care about helping others in society, be strict with himself, work hard and not talk empty words. The above four items are practical for students and easy to understand and remember. We educate students repeatedly through reports and lectures. To be truly accepted by students, we must go through a series of activities.

Like any learning activity, we must pay attention to methods and endow students with rich information and various carriers to enrich, attract and educate students, so as to achieve good results.
In terms of educational content, we should pay attention to three combinations:
The first is to combine with the content of moral education. Chinese traditional virtue education is not a whim, nor an expedient measure, but a long-term work that must be infiltrated for a long time. Therefore, when making the sequence of school moral education, we also incorporate the content of traditional virtue education into the plan. Each grade has put forward different moral education requirements. Different grades, different periods, highlighting different priorities. For example, the word "filial piety" is the first thing to learn in all grades; The word "benevolence" focuses on the study and practice of senior one and senior two; The word "diligence" should highlight education in the graduating class of senior three; The word "loyalty" (loyalty to the motherland, that is, patriotism education) puts forward different levels of requirements in different grades every year, and gradually deepens.
The second is to combine with real life. The selection of learning materials includes Five Thousand Years of Chinese Virtues, New Three-Character Classics, New Wide Literature, Four-character Songs, etc. The study of traditional virtues is not attractive to students if it only talks about the ancients and not the present. In the process of learning, we should pay attention to the content of the times endowed with traditional virtues, and enrich students with rich information in combination with typical examples reflecting the spirit of the times. For example, when talking about the word "filial piety", combined with the story of Qingdao girl Du, tell the story of Li Yong in Ning County, Gansu Province "carrying his father to school"; Talking about the word "benevolence" should be combined with learning from Lei Feng, talking about Project Hope and talking about youth volunteer activities. Speaking of the words "diligence" and "loyalty", combined with Hongzhi class of Guangqumen Middle School in Beijing, Zhang Zhaolong of Dayi Township in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province learned Japanese while picking up junk, and went to Japan to study, and said that Lang Ping obeyed the call of the motherland and gave up the superior life abroad to teach in China ... so that students could realize that the light of traditional morality still shines on people around us. Traditional virtues cannot be separated from excellent traditional culture. Through the second class, art festivals and other activities,
Invite experts and scholars to introduce China painting and calligraphy, folk music and Foshan, so as to increase students' understanding of national culture and traditional morality.
The third is to combine with the quality education of modern people. Learning Chinese traditional virtues is to be a good modern person. Modern society has many new requirements for the younger generation. Combined with the development of the times, we put forward the following contents as the goal of cultivating the quality of modern people:
Self-confidence and courtesy, including mental health, attention to etiquette, good at communication;
Strive for progress, including being brave in competition, seizing opportunities and making continuous progress;
Cherish time and keep promises, including cherishing time, stressing efficiency and keeping promises;
Dedication and innovation include loyalty, self-enrichment and continuous innovation.
A modern teenager should have good ideological and moral qualities (including Chinese traditional virtues), psychological qualities and scientific and cultural qualities. It is more appropriate to look at it this way. Students will be willing to accept new ideas.
In the form of education, we strongly advocate three activities:
Vigorously promote etiquette education. Every March, we will give students a lecture on etiquette, including etiquette in school, home and public places; Conduct demonstration performances; Set up etiquette messengers for publicity; Carry out a month-long campus etiquette activity to cultivate students' manners and manners and select etiquette pacesetters; Watch the code of conduct video; We held the "Best Image Contest for Middle School Students", trained students in walking posture and introduced the knowledge of dressing ... We also conducted classroom etiquette training, held a class meeting on etiquette education, and carried out activities such as "Stop chewing gum from polluting the campus" to let students know what kind of behavior is beautiful, so as to consciously restrain themselves and be civilized middle school students. Now students in our school can pay attention to dressing neatly and see the teacher say hello. The whole campus is neat and orderly, and has been praised by guests and superiors many times.
Vigorously promote the "filial piety" activities. We put forward specific requirements for students' filial piety, including helping, caring for parents, communicating with parents, not contradicting parents, helping parents with housework, giving gifts to mothers on Mother's Day, writing a letter to parents and so on. Give individual guidance to some students who have conflicts with their parents. Through activities, parents generally report that students have made progress. Some students who have repeatedly contradicted their parents because of trivial matters such as spending money, making friends and making phone calls. Understand the feelings of parents and change the tense family relationship; Children in some disabled families should pay attention to sharing housework and share worries for their parents; A student who is upset because of his parents' disharmony and even beats his mother pays attention to understanding his parents, restraining himself and promoting family harmony through his good performance ... The distinctive theme (Chinese traditional virtue education) makes the moral education work in our school colorful and effective. Many visitors marvel at our towering school buildings, harmonious colors, neatly trimmed flowers and trees, lawns, and even more at our meticulous management, civilized and healthy school spirit. In the modern school building, a group of Chinese people are studying and working diligently. They are proud of Chinese traditional virtues and should strive to cultivate and build bridges for splendid china. This is the new look of Miancheng High School, a new school.
