Chapter 89 Education in the Republic of China

At this time, a man who appeared to be only 30 years old walked up to the stage and spoke into the microphone.

This is Zhou Yuying, who said that Liu Zhanen, the president of Hujiang University, became the president of Hujiang University when he was 31 years old.

He was not only an outstanding educational school, but also a well-known patriot and the first Chinese president of Hujiang University.

During the Republic of China, there were so many purchased educators that made the Republic of China an era of double talent.

There is also the education system of the Republic of China period is also worthy of our reference, even during the war-torn War of Resistance Against Japan, the Republic of China at that time also really implemented a free compulsory education system.

At the end of 1937, the Ministry of Education of the Nationalist Government began to set up 22 national middle schools and 3 national overseas Chinese middle schools in Sichuan, Henan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Hunan, Gansu, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places, and successively trained and educated 100,000 "exiled students in war zones". Many of China's leading outstanding talents have been cultivated by these national middle schools, such as: Zhu Rongji, former premier of the State Council, Deng Jiaxian, China's "father of the two bombs", Dong Furen, a famous contemporary economist, He Jingzhi, a famous poet, and Ding Henggao, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, these state secondary schools were gradually restored in 1946, fulfilling their historical mission and writing a legend of Chinese education during the brutal war.

It is a well-known fact that so far, there have been a total of 8 Chinese Nobel Prize winners, 5 of whom (Tsung-Dao Lee, Yang Zhenning, Li Yuanzhe, Cui Qi, etc.) were born in the twenties and thirties of the Republic of China period and received education during the Republic of China. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been only one Gao Xingjian among the students trained in New China, and it is also a literary award, and one more has to be added, a total of two people have won the literary award. There is no natural science award, should contemporary education be reflected?

It is said that the literary award is to find out the dark side, the ignorant side of China, and write it to others, so that the world can know how ugly China is.

In Wen Hao's heart, a natural science award is more important than a literary award. Wen Hao thinks that foreigners prefer to read articles that talk about China's negatives. For objective evaluation of articles, most of them don't want to win awards.

Wen Hao values more Chinese who win natural science awards, and it doesn't matter whether they win literary awards or not.

For example, textbooks. The compilation of textbooks in the Republic of China has two characteristics: First, it is non-governmental. The private sector has greater autonomy in compiling textbooks, and only reports to the Ministry of Education for review; Second, its compilers were all first-rate educators with modern ideas, such as Hu Shi, Shu Xincheng, Guo Bingwen, Zhu Jingnong, Li Jinhui, Liao Shicheng, etc., and they agreed to compile textbooks for primary school students, which naturally embodied the basic concept of education in the Republic of China.

There is also the treatment of teachers, for example. The Regulations on the Qualifications of University Teachers, promulgated in 1927, provide: The monthly salary of university faculty members is 600-400 yuan for professors, 400-260 yuan for associate professors, 260-160 yuan for lecturers, and 160-100 yuan for teaching assistants. The maximum monthly salary of a professor is 600 yuan, which is basically the same as that of ministers of the national government. In the early 30s of the 20th century, the average monthly salary of teachers in primary and secondary schools was 220 yuan, 120 yuan, and 30 yuan respectively; During the same period, the monthly salary of the average worker in Shanghai was about 15 yuan. The Constitution on Education of the 40s of the 20th century stipulates: "The State shall guarantee the livelihood of educational, scientific and artistic workers, and shall raise their remuneration at any time in accordance with the progress of the national economy." According to the data, at that time, ordinary police officers had 2 silver dollars a month. The county magistrate has 20 yuan of silver a month, while the primary school teacher can get 40 yuan of silver a month, and the status and treatment of primary school teachers during the Republic of China period are far more than that of the county magistrate. During the Republic of China, the attention and investment in the treatment of teachers made people look out of reach and embarrassed.

Look at why there are so many uncivilized behaviors when Chinese travel abroad now, and Chinese were also abroad during the Republic of China, so there was no such behavior.

Civilization begins with education, and it is not something that can be solved by just doing some public service advertisements on advertising, and it is not just about "teaching" but not "educating" education and culture.

9th century. Germany defeated France, and someone once said: "The rise of the German nation is decided from the podium of the elementary school teacher." More than 100 years later, when Chinese scholars came to a marginal town in Germany. See the nineteenth-century German pedagogical wall chart: a map of the world. A German schoolboy knows what the Great Wall looks like, knows the seven continents of the world, and knows basic scientific knowledge. They also saw the complete chemistry, physics, and biology laboratories that had been preserved at that time. After seeing this, we know the degree of civilization of a nation.

China's current education is an assembly line, and the most important thing is the university, the primary school in the early stage. Middle school is just a process.

From these aspects, I think that the education of the Republic of China is successful. An era cannot be said to have failed just because it is a troubled era. The Hundred Schools of Thought were not produced in China under the great unification of Qin Shi Huang, but in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Republic of China is a troubled era in China, but in terms of education, it has embarked on a path of true integration of China and the West, and localized the best things in the world, so that we can not only enjoy the best culture passed down from generation to generation in this land, but also enjoy the best quality resources from all over the world, which is what the Republic of China era has done.

"It's sad for me to stand here, because it's September 18 this year, September 18, 1936.

Under a false pretext, the Japanese invaded Shenyang and attacked Northeast China by force, but ** did not resist, so that Northeast China fell under the iron hooves of the Japanese.

With the exception of a few spontaneous troops who put up a brave resistance, the rest retreated without a fight.

However, those who are still resisting the Japanese invasion, the Anti-Japanese Warrior City wants the support of our people and needs our help.

Today, although we are going to fight side by side with those anti-Japanese warriors, our hearts are with them, and we are supporting them in the rear......"

Liu Chenen's impassioned speech sounded in the square, and the people present were excited.

A single sentence of non-resistance put 30 million Chinese sons and daughters into the hands of the Japanese and became slaves of the country.

Why do Chinese like to think of resistance when they are cornered, always like peace, harmony these beautiful words, and finally force peace.

But when you want to make peace, the aggressor's ambitions can no longer be satisfied, he wants the whole Chinese nation, the whole of China.

It's all like this. I also want to make peace with the Japanese, and I have even asked the international mediation to be conducted.

Look at the Han and Tang dynasties, which were not only powerful but also warlike, whether it was the Turks or the Xiongnu, they took the initiative to attack when they were threatened, although it was said that the army was reckless, resulting in the decline of national strength, at most it was to carry out internal metabolism and change the dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was not good at martial arts, and was always afraid that the country would be robbed by its own people, and as a result, it would be destroyed by the alien Mongols. Now Mongolia is not an alien race.

The Ming Dynasty still learned from the Song Dynasty to defend the inside more than the outside, and as a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and it was different and assimilated a nation.

This is related to the culture of China's broad spirit, but I have to admit that the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties are great is that even if they withdrew from the stage of history, they handed him over to insiders, our own nation. Rather than giving it to outsiders.

The reason why Wen Hao didn't like it in the Song and Ming dynasties was that from the beginning of the release of military power with a glass of wine, to the beginning of Ming Taizu's killing of heroes, it was to prevent the inside more than the outside, so that the country could not hold it, and let the aliens succeed.

Just look at the founding of the Han Dynasty and killed one Han Xin, and the rest of the founding fathers did not suffer any damage. This didn't happen in the Tang Dynasty.

This is why there is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was not successful after the destruction of the Japanese, the Chinese civilization was greatly damaged.

Why such a big country as China has become a victim of the Japanese iron heel is because the Chinese have been too bitter in their internal fighting, so they have a chance to take advantage of it.

Whether it is the current government or the ruler. Learn more about the Han and Tang dynasties, be lenient and tolerant internally, and repay the external deafness. Learn less from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, which blindly coerced the outside world and suppressed the inside. (To be continued.) )
