Today is teacher's day on September 10. When I went out in the morning, Xiaobian saw many students go to the flower shop to buy flowers for the teacher to express their respect and gratitude to the teacher. Respecting teachers and valuing education is a Chinese tradition. As early as the 11th century BC in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was proposed that 'disciples serve teachers and respect the same father'. Teachers' day aims to affirm teachers' contributions to the cause of education.
Do you know the origin of teachers' day?
Teacher's Day is a time to thank teachers.
Different countries and regions have different Festival dates. The mainland of the people's Republic of China is September 10, and Taiwan Province is September 28.
The word has two meanings: 'refers to not only a social role, but also the undertaker of this role'.
Teachers in a broad sense refer to those who impart knowledge and experience, while teachers in a narrow sense refer to those who have received special education and training, and who are in charge of education and teaching in Education (schools). They are understood in a narrow sense,
That is to say, teachers refer to the professionals who have received special education and training to transfer human scientific and cultural knowledge and skills to students in schools, develop students' physique, carry out ideological and moral education to students, cultivate students' noble aesthetic taste, and train the educated into talents needed by the society.
According to the social division of labor and the fact that school education is the main form of education, teachers are defined as the professionals who are entrusted by the society, exert special influence on the students' body and mind in the school, and train them to be the people needed by a certain society.
Respecting teachers and valuing education is a fine tradition in China. As early as the 11th century BC in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was proposed that 'disciples serve teachers and respect the same father'.
Confucius, a great educator in ancient times, left a series of wise and famous sayings, such as "there is no one to teach", "learn from the past, learn from the past, and learn from the past".
Teachers who preach and teach are regarded as engineers of human soul by Chinese people.
In fact, as early as 1932, the government of the Republic of China stipulated June 6 as teachers' day.
After the liberation of China, the teachers' day on June 6 was abolished and changed to May 1 International Labor Day. However, teachers' day has no separate activities and no characteristics.
The setting of teachers' day on September 10 is to take into account the new atmosphere of the school at the beginning of the new school year of the National University, middle school and primary school.
Respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching can create a good atmosphere for teachers to teach well and students to learn well.
September 10, 1985 is the first teacher's day in China. Since then, teachers have their own festivals to celebrate Teacher's day and thank teachers.
How to celebrate Teachers' Day
Since teachers' Day is not a traditional Chinese festival, there will be different celebrations every year, without a unified and fixed form.
In terms of government and schools, there are celebration and commendation conferences for teachers' day, awarding bonuses and certificates to teachers, organizing school students and singing and dancing troupes to present singing and dancing performances to teachers, visiting and condoning teachers' representatives, and organizing new teachers to take collective oath and other activities.
On the part of students, they spontaneously participated in the activities and wrote their blessings on blackboard newspapers, greeting cards and paintings. On the other hand, they also posted their group photos and activity speeches on personal space and microblog to express their sincere blessings and greetings to teachers.
On Teachers' day in Hong Kong, a ceremony will be held to honor outstanding teachers. Greeting cards will be printed uniformly. Students can receive them free of charge and fill in the cards for teachers. Cards, flowers, dolls and other small gifts are usually the most common gifts for Hong Kong students to express their teachers' wishes on Teachers' day. On September 10 of each year, the Hong Kong Teachers' respect Movement Committee holds a ceremony of "teachers' Day celebration and certificate of commendation". The ceremony is accompanied by a student band. Parents sing songs to express their gratitude and respect for teachers. On the scene, a moving story video between teachers and students will also be played to reflect the feelings of teachers and students. In addition, the honorary teachers' Association also held activities such as "teacher recognition program", "teacher-student co cultivation" planting activities, essay competition, mind card design competition, Hong Kong School Music and recitation Festival honorary teachers' Cup.
