论陶行知对武训精神的倡扬

On Tao Xingzhi's Development of Wuxun's Spirit

从1922年起,陶行知一贯推崇武训,主张学习武训精神。在1940年至1945年间,他以重庆育才学校为阵地,几乎每年都举行各种形式的武训纪念、宣传活动,成为当时我国主张学习武训,光大武训精神的代表性人物。他曾建议政府根据武训诞辰设立兴学节、兴学周、兴学月,以推动全国普及教育发展。他反对把武训当作异人、苦行者、圣人和“陶派的人”,也反对复活历史上的武训,而主张要学习“三无四有”的“武训的真精神”。陶行知对武训及武训精神的倡扬,在当时产生了很大社会影响,而且对于今天正确评价武训,推进教育普及,构建和谐社会也有重要的现实意义。

Tao Xingzhi had been admiring Wuxun and asserted that Wuxun＇s spirit should be learnt. During 1940 to 1945, Tao Xingzhi held a variety of memorial and propaganda activities almost every year in Yucai School in Chongqing. He became the typical figure who suggested learning from Wuxun and developing Wuxun＇s spirit in China at that time. According to Wuxun＇s spirit,Tao Xingzhi had proposed to the government to create a Xingxue （encouraging study） Festival/Week/Month to promote the universal education in China. He opposed to the view that regards Wuxun as an unusual person, an ascetic, a saint or ＂a Taoian＂;he was also against the duplication of Wuxun. He asserted the ＂three-have-not and four-have＂ ＂the real spirit of Wuxun＇. Tao Xingzhi＇s advocating of Wuxun＇s spirit had great social influences at that time; it also bears great significance in judging Wunxun correctly, promoting universal education and constructing harmonious society at present time.
