The biggest problem in the teaching of philosophy often lies in the interpretation of abstract philosophical concepts. For example, Zhu Xi's theory, Wang Yangming's heart, Hegel's absolute spirit, etc., it is easy for students to just memorize, but whether they can really understand and establish philosophical thinking is a great test of the teacher's educational wisdom.
In the Equatorial region, a primary school teacher struggles to explain to children"Snow"form, but no matter what he says, the child cannot understand.
The teacher said, "Snow is a pure white thing."
Children guess that snow is like salt.
The teacher said: Snow is a cold thing.
Children guess that snow is like ice cream.
The teacher said, "Snow is a coarse thing."
Children guess that snow is like sand.
The teacher could not tell the child what the snow was, and finally, when he took the exam, came out"Snow"As a result, several children answered like this:"The snow is pale yellow and has a cold and salty sand taste. "
For people who have not seen snow, it is difficult for us to let them know about snow, and things like snow that can be seen and have images cannot be explained clearly.
So, how can we clearly express the mind, which is silent, colorless, imageless, and uncatchable?
We need to know the snow, and only we can go to the country where there is snow.
If we want to listen to the song of the yellow warbler, we must sit under the tree where there is a yellow warbler.
We want to smell the fragrance of the night, and only go to the garden with flowers at night.
Those who write the most passionate and beautiful love letters are not necessarily the ones who love us the most;Those who accompany us to drink wine and eat meat and pat their shoulders and breasts are not necessarily true friends;Those who speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality do not necessarily have the fragrance of personality;Those written notes that signed the contract also had times when they were abandoned and torn up!
The most beautiful things in this world are indescribable and inexpressible in words.
It's like when we stand in the snow and don't have to say anything to know the snow.
Snow, cold and clear, pure and beautiful, is like our heart on a certain level.
Philosophical concepts cannot be directly seen and experienced, and can only be grasped with the heart, but what about the heart?How can I be mindful?On our campuses, we often feel that students are in the classroom and their hearts are lost. How can we get back to the children's inquisitive hearts?
