Research On The Educational Philosophy Of Public Universities In The Republic Of China

Educational concept,as the value orientation of education,is the soul and foundation of school education.The school song can accurately reflect the spirit of the school,showing the school's educational concept and its fine tradition.During the Period of the Republic of China,the school songs of public universities originated from the music songs of the school,which experienced three historical periods: the mutual reflection of tradition and modern thought,the national independence and educational revitalization,the Anti-Japanese War and national salvation.The lyrics of these school songs are concise and elegant.Between the lines,they contain the educational ideas and values of the Public universities in the Republic of China.The educational idea contained in the school song of the Republic of China can be roughly divided into three types: first,the educational idea of "inheriting the tradition".The traditional culture represented by Confucianism was constantly deconstructed and criticized in the Republic of China period,but many core ideas were still inherited by public universities,which became the educational idea of school-building and educating people.Both Nanjing Normal University's "great love for the whole world" and "thousands of saints will return to China and integrate with Confucius",and Tsinghua University's "great love for the motherland",embody the connotation of "Confucianism" in education philosophy.At the same time,in the face of the turbulent national situation,Zhejiang University and Central University,which "set our country on fire" and "accomplished the great cause of national rejuvenation",resolutely shoulder the banner of "rejuvenating China".Under the influence of the educational idea of "inheriting the tradition",several universities have endowed the traditional thought with new epoch meaning.Second,the educational concept of "saving the country through education".To realize the prosperity of the country and the nation is the common vision of modern Chinese people,and to advocate "saving the country through education" is a measure taken by modern intellectuals to realize this goal at the educational level.Scholars and educators adhering to the educational concept of "saving the country through education" firmly believe that education is an important weapon to save the nation from extinction.Beiyang University and Jiangsu Provincial Women's Sericulture School,which "need to transform China" and "advocate industrial Education",actively promote the development of national industrial education.Shanghai Medical College,which takes the responsibility of developing doctors,and Hebei Provincial Aquatic Products College,which doesn't care about primary school,attach importance to students' practice education based on the concept of "vocational education".Under the initiative of Jiangsu Provincial Institute of Education and Institute of Social Education,the educational concept of "popular education" provides a new way of thinking for the object and method of social education.Third,the educational concept of "resisting foreign aggression".In the face of the Japanese aggressors' step by step,the educational concept of "resisting foreign aggression" has become the consensus of many public universities.For example,southwest United University and Drama College carry forward the "national spirit" and firmly believe that the strong will of the Chinese nation is invincible in any case by the Japanese invaders.Northeastern University and Guangxi University,both of which have endured hardships to fight for the motherland,encourage the "foreign War of Resistance",attach importance to military training,and educate students to contribute to the victory of the War.The school songs of public universities in the Republic of China showed the characteristics of diversified educational concepts in the Republic of China.The main causes of this phenomenon are the responsibility for the inheritance of traditional culture,the recognition and absorption of western civilization,the stimulation of foreign invasion and the personal influence of university presidents and educators.The educational concept of "colorful appearance" not only promoted the process of social modernization in the Republic of China period,but also promoted the maturity of higher education.At the same time,it was also beneficial to the cultivation of students' patriotism and national responsibility.From the ancient view to the present,the educational concept of public universities in the Republic of China has provided a mirror for the current educational development in China.On the basis of inheriting the tradition and keeping pace with The Times,modern universities should establish a clear educational concept,and take patriotism as the main line and value pursuit of the implementation of educational concept.In addition,educational concept should be closely combined with teaching practice to ensure the smooth implementation of educational concept.
