尊师重道立师道——段正元师道说发微

Respect for Teachers and Tao: Duan Zhengyuan's Discussion about Teacher-Student Relationship

尊师重道是中华文化的优秀传统之一,教育的根本在尊师重道。段正元论证了道与师的同一性与普遍性,说明师是天命寄托,代表宇宙大道,为师不易,必通天地人。师道渊源久远,秦汉以后若断若续,其本质即中道,立师道的核心是师弟大伦。立师道从个人来讲教人做人、成人,从人类社会来讲确立基本价值原则和道德规范。欲世界大同,要先立师道,今天重提尊师重道具有重要的现实意义。

Respect for teachers and Tao is one of the fine traditions of the Chinese culture.The root of education is respect for teachers and Tao.Duan Zhengyuan demonstrated identity and universality of Tao and teachers, holding that teacher is mandated by heaven, standing for the Tao of the universe.Being a teacher is not easy, he must communicate heaven, earth and man.The teacher’ s Tao originated from the ancient times, but after the Qin-Han Dynasties, the tradition became interminttent.Moderation is the essence of the teacher’s Tao.The core of establishing the teacher’ s Tao is the establishment of a proper teacher-student relationship, which means to teach individuals to conduct themselves in narrow sense, and encourages to establish the basic values and ethical principles in society in broad sense.For universal brotherhood, the teacher’ s Tao must be established and strict-ly followed.To propose the respect for teachers and Tao has important practical significance in today’ s society.
