Ancient people respected teachers, how did they celebrate Teacher s Day?

In specific festivals, such as the most far-reaching Teacher's Day, Confucius's birthday and the day of the school's students, students often give the teacher a silver tael or a gift to show their respect for the teacher, just like we have now, and the nature is the same.

They are just Teacher's Day, and Teacher's Day only appeared in modern times, and in ancient times, it was nothing more than this. And in ancient times, teachers were indeed respected and taught, but at that time, everyone was running around for a living, who would have thought of giving teachers a Teacher's Day, not only teachers did not have this awareness, but also students did not have it. Besides, the ancient people respected the teacher from the bottom of their hearts, and there was no fake at all, so people don't need this superficial etiquette, after all, they can feel the respect of students for teachers in daily life.

Besides, this was not the case in ancient times.

Maybe when the teacher really celebrates his birthday, the students prepare gifts for the teacher to congratulate the teacher, and there is really no such unified Teacher's Day, which is an inevitable trend in modern times, but it has not developed to this point in ancient times. We are all modern people, and modern life can realize that it is definitely better than ancient life, so we will think about these when we have good living conditions. Moreover, today's students are far less respectful of teachers than ancient students, of course, many teachers are not as conscientious as in ancient times, so it is very necessary to set up this festival to tell students:

This is your teacher, you want the teacher to order, you can't be so skinny. Tell the teacher: Be conscientious, you see that your students are still giving you Teacher's Day, you have to teach well, you can't teach fools!

In ancient times, there was no Teacher's Day as we have today, and the Teacher's Day we know now on September 10 was actually introduced from foreign countries. As a non-Chinese traditional festival, Teacher's Day did not officially appear in the field of vision of the Chinese people until 1985.

So there was no Teacher's Day in ancient times, does it mean that people in ancient times did not respect teachers, the answer is completely opposite. In ancient times, people respected their teachers very much, and teachers at that time were like second parents to students. Its status is very high.

The so-called heaven and earth monarch is a teacher, which shows the status of the teacher. As the old saying goes, the word "teacher" has a very special meaning in ancient times. It's not the same as today's professional teachers.

Therefore, there was indeed no clear Teacher's Day in ancient times, but it does not mean that there was no Teacher's Day in ancient China, but many festivals need to pay tribute to teachers, so large and small festivals contain a little modern Teacher's Day in it. It's just that there is no special holiday. Among the many festivals, the most famous are the three festivals and two birthdays, namely the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year's Birthday, and the birthday of Confucius and the birthday of his teacher.

In these days, as a student, you need to go to your teacher and pay respect.

Nowadays, teaching is a well-established profession, which has been changed by industrialization. The relationship between teachers and students today is also very different from that of teachers and students in ancient times. Although there is Teacher's Day now, there is no special feeling.

Although there was no teacher's festival in ancient times, respect for teachers was reflected in every festival large and small. It is up to you to judge which is better or worse. It's a pity that the kind of teacher-student relationship in ancient times, I think it's difficult to reappear.

When the ancients saw the teacher, Ma Min would also greet the teacher politely, and he could bow or bring the person in the way of making a gesture, and he also respected the teacher very much when talking to the teacher.

They give some money or gifts to the teacher at the beginning and end of the school year, or when some festivals are a few days, and they are very respectful of the teacher.

The ancients were very particular about respecting teachers, and students had to bow to their teachers on weekdays, and on Confucius's birthday, large-scale commemorative activities were held.

Allusion to respecting teachers: Chengmen Lixue.

Yang Shi was bright and studious since childhood, and in the ninth year of Xining (1076) of the Northern Song Dynasty, he ascended to the rank of Jinshi. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng (1081), he was appointed as the judge of Xuzhou. At that time, the famous philosophers and educators Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty said that Confucius and Mencius studied in Heluo.

Yang Shi thought that this was a rare opportunity, so he resigned from the official position of the judiciary in Xuzhou, resolutely taught Cheng Hao, and won Cheng Hao's respect. Later, Cheng Hao unfortunately died, he was so sad that he set up a spiritual seat to pay tribute, and took Cheng Hao's younger brother Cheng Yi as his teacher. One day, Yang Shi asked his friend You Xing to ask Cheng Hao for advice, and it happened to be snowing heavily, and when he arrived at Cheng's house, it happened to be Cheng Yi resting.

In order not to affect his husband's rest, Yang Shi quietly stood outside the door and waited. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside the door was more than a foot thick, and Yang Shi and You Xing had become snowmen. The two of them respected and considerate their teachers and sincerely pursued their studies, which was deeply touching and was hailed as a model of respecting teachers.

The idiom allusion of "Chengmen Lixue" has been passed down to this day.

Chengmen Lixue: It comes from the story of Yang Shi, a famous physicist in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Shi has been smart and clever since he was a child, he entered the village at the age of four, he was able to write poems at the age of seven, and he was able to write at the age of eight, and he was called a prodigy. He studied scripture and history at the age of fifteen, and Xining was on the list of scholars in the ninth year. He devoted his life to writing books and lectures, and he lectured in many places and was very popular.

When he was at home, he spent a long time in Hanyun Temple and Guishan Academy, concentrating on studying, writing and teaching.

One year, on the way to Liuyang County, Yang Shi worked tirelessly, detoured to Luoyang, and apprenticed to Cheng Yi in order to further his studies. One day, Yang Shi and his schoolmate Youying, because they had different views on a certain question, in order to find a correct answer, they went to the teacher's house together to ask for advice.

It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and the clouds were thick. Halfway through their journey, the wind was blowing, the snow was falling, and the cold wind poured into their necklines unscrupulously. They wrapped their clothes tightly and hurried away.

When I came to Cheng Yi's house, I happened to be sitting by the stove and meditating. Yang Shi and the others didn't dare to disturb the teacher, so they stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for the gentleman to wake up.

At this time, the distant mountains were like jade clusters, the woods were covered with silver makeup, and the houses were also dressed in white plain clothes. One of Yang Shi's feet was frozen and shivering with cold, but he still stood respectfully.

After a long time, Cheng Yi woke up and found Yang standing in the wind and snow from the window, only to see that he was covered in snow, and the snow under his feet was more than a foot thick, so he hurriedly got up to welcome them into the house.

Chengmen Lixue" came from this, which has become a good sentence for the ages and has been passed down to this day.

In ancient times, there was Teacher's Day, and the real Teacher's Day can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. By the Han Dynasty, the entity of the "school" had already been created. During the Han and Jin dynasties, every year on Confucius's birthday (September 28 in the Western calendar), the emperor had to lead the civil and military ** to worship the Confucian Temple.

Not only that, but the emperor also invited "teachers" into the palace. Everyone will have a meal together, eat and drink well, and you can also chant poetry and enjoy yourself during the banquet. Under the leadership of the emperor, local governments also followed suit.

Therefore, on the day of "Teacher's Day", in addition to paying tribute to Confucius, it is also necessary to "put aside the scripture teacher" and "confer the bundle of cultivation (dried meat)".

In this sense, although Confucius's birthday was not established as Teacher's Day at that time, teachers began to enjoy holiday leave, meals, and welfare benefits.

Yes, the ancient Teacher's Day is the 27th of August of the lunar calendar, that is, the birthday of Confucius, in history, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was the first to worship Confucius, since then, every 27th day of August of the lunar calendar, the emperor has to hold a ceremony to worship Confucius, so all over the country have followed suit, built the Temple of Confucius, this day, the teacher has a day off, and can also get the dried meat sent by the place, and the students will generally congratulate the teacher on this day, which is the ancient Teacher's Day.

No Teacher's Day has ever been established in the history of our country. In 1931, educators Tai Shuangqiu and Cheng Qibao gathered at the ** University in Nanjing and issued a declaration calling for "improving the treatment of teachers, ensuring teachers' work and increasing teachers' training," and agreed that June 6 would be Teachers' Day, also known as the Double Sixth Festival. Soon after, the Kuomintang government first agreed that June 6 would be Teacher's Day, and then changed Teacher's Day to August 27 (Confucius' birthday).

Teacher's Day is coming, in modern times, students generally give flowers to teachers and salute to express their respect for teachers, so was there a Teacher's Day in ancient times? How was Teacher's Day celebrated in ancient times?

In this issue, we will briefly talk about how to celebrate Teacher's Day in ancient times.

In Chinese history, the profession of teacher was very respectful, and Confucius was known as the "Most Holy Teacher", and even the emperor had to bow his head and bow down.

And for the profession of a teacher, whether it is the prince and the young master (prince and prince and prince and prince and prince), or ordinary masters and teachings, the social status in ancient times was very high.

Ancient Elegance:Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher! This order is extremely exquisite, and this order reflects the value orientation of the Chinese people of respecting heaven and law, being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, filial piety to relatives and obeying elders, and respecting teachers and education.

These five words can be said to be the basis for ethics and morality in feudal society, as well as the legitimacy and rationality of changing dynasties, due to the monopoly position of Confucianism, this concept has been very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, this concept has been implemented in daily life, and has had a huge impact on the spirit and all aspects of life of the whole society.

In various ancient classics, it is mentioned that respecting teachers and respecting the way:"The country will be prosperous, and you will be a noble teacher! A teacher for one day, a father for life! There are three people, and the monarch and the master are also! ”

So how did ancient times respect teachers?

In addition to the respect of the ancients for teachers, it is very important to listen to teachers' teachings, serve teachers, and do various chores for teachers in daily lifeThree festivals and two longevity!

What is Three Festivals? The three festivals refer to the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the New Year's Festival; Liangshou refers to the teacher's birthday and Confucius's birthday. The birthday of Confucius can be said to be a grander Teacher's Day commemoration than today, and teachers take their students to hold large-scale commemorative activities at this time of year

In the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi Guangchang Zhou Jiading "In addition to the two dings, there are people who do not know the birth of the ancestors." It is the rate of the two sons of the Xu, that is, on August 27 to hold a celebration ceremony, the year is normal" - Wei Fangtai: "Xing Annals", engraved by the Wei family in the seventeenth year of Qianlong.

Every year, during the five festivals of three festivals and two birthdays, students must give the teacher a month!

In ancient times, students had great respect for their teachers, and they had to say hello when they saw them, and they did not dare to contradict them, and they would visit them during the New Year's holidays.
