Tao Xingzhi's Educational Story: Carpenters as Teachers
When the Shanhai Corps of Engineers was first established, the children of farmers had a place to study, and the Red Temple, which burned incense and worshipped Buddha, became a classroom, but there were no tables and chairs for the children. In class, students bring their own stools, big and small, with different heights. A week later, the school invited a carpenter, made some stools, and stuffy his head. Tao Xingzhi came over and saw the carpenter master sweating all over, so he handed him a glass of water and said, We didn't ask you to make a stool. ? The carpenter looked at Tao Xingzhi doubtfully. what am I supposed to do？
? Do we ask you to do it? Sir? Yes ?
? I can't read ? The carpenter panicked.
Tao Xingzhi said with a smile:? I asked you to instruct the students to do carpentry. You can get paid to teach a person. If you don't teach anyone, even if you finish all the stools, you won't get a penny. ? The carpenter looked embarrassed. Tao Xingzhi said kindly, it doesn't matter. We'll teach you if you can't read. We can't do carpentry, so I will take you as my husband. I am the first person to learn from you. ? Tao Xingzhi said, picked up a saw and aimed at the lines drawn on the board. Pool? Pool? I saw the ground.
The next day, the carpenter's tools were placed in the square, and the teacher took the children to learn to make stools. A child muttered:? We are here to study, not to be carpenters. ? When adults see children pick up tools, they easily break their hands carelessly, frown and shake their heads. At this time, Tao Xingzhi said with a smile:? I have a poem to read to you: two treasures in life, hand and brain. Use your head, not your hand, and you will be knocked down. Use your hands instead of your brain, and you won't have enough to eat. You can be a great man who created the world with your hands and brain. ? What do you think of this article? The children clapped their hands and said yes, but the adults smiled shyly.
Since then, children have to learn to make stools every day, so do they? Little sir? Teach carpenters to read.
One day three months later, 50 children in the classroom were sitting on their stools. There are also toys and musical instruments such as levers and pulleys made by children themselves on the podium. Parents crowded outside the window and door, nodding convincingly. Tao Xingzhi read a poem just written in front of the podium:? He is a carpenter and I am a gentleman. Mr. Wang studies carpentry, and Mr. Wang studies carpentry. Hum, I became Wang Mujiang, hum, he became Wang Mujiang. ? The children looked at the carpenter sitting next to them and listening to the class together. Everyone laughed.
