Recently, the Taiwan authorities' "de-sinicization" syllabus has caused controversy: the abyss of education is heading towards no light, and a section criticizing the "de-sinicization" syllabus of the Taiwan authorities has been circulated on the Internet, causing widespread concern. According to Taiwan media reports, Ou Guizhi, a Chinese teacher at the Municipal No. 1 Girls' Senior High School, who spoke in ** Middle School, bitterly criticized the Taiwan authorities' education reform for always being guided by the ghost principle of "de-sinicization", allowing schools, teachers, and students at all levels to sink into the darker and darker abyss of education and move towards a place where there is no light.
Ou Guizhi pointed out that in addition to the four books, the new syllabus deleted the classic ancient texts, including the prose "Honest Shame" by Gu Yanwu, a thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Students no longer have the opportunity to think about why "the shame of scholars is a national shame" and can no longer understand that "shame is a real consciousness". At the same time, she pointed out that the common clowns in the temple are all eating and drinking spicy, how can young students not be deranged?"So the new syllabus is a 'de-sinicization' syllabus. ”
In addition, Ou Guizhi also pointed out that the new syllabus also deleted Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan's "Travels to the Xishan Banquet" and Northern Song Dynasty politician Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower". She believes that the importance of these two articles in dealing with personal life setbacks and the importance of recognizing the importance of a model of establishing a high level of life and learning from the care of the Xi self have been neglected. The deletion of the Confucian scholar Xunzi's "Persuasion" in the Warring States Period is a good guide that makes students lose the meaning, methods, and steps of learning Xi.
Ou Guizhi bitterly criticized the Taiwan authorities' education reform over the past 20 years or so for depriving children of a solid basic education, and even worse, a proper life education. Not only does the teacher not have enough time for in-depth and complete teaching, but he also loses almost all authority to discipline. In this regard, many netizens expressed their support for Ou Guizhi's point of view, believing that this is a respect and inheritance of traditional culture, and some netizens called on relevant departments to pay attention to this issue and re-examine the direction and content of education reform.
I call on relevant departments, experts and scholars to conduct in-depth research and research on this matter, in order to find a solution that respects traditional culture and adapts to modern education. At the same time, we should also reflect on the nature and purpose of education, and we should not let education become a political tool, but should return to cultivating talents with sound personality and all-round qualities.
