论明清时期蒙师的作用及其地位

On the role and position of Enlightenment Teachers in Ming and Qing Dynasties

蒙师为儿童开蒙启蒙和日后学习打下基础,对移风易俗和地方文化做出贡献,继承和发扬了尊师重道传统。明清对蒙师作用的肯定,源于政府大力支持蒙学的发展,延师训蒙和读书识字成为明清时期的社会风气,化解科举事业带来的不公和蒙师传承师道尊严的矛盾。在这样的背景下,明清蒙师的整体收入水平要比一般的农民阶层、手工业者稍微高,且享有一定的社会声望与专业的教育权利。为了保证蒙师更好地发挥启蒙、奠基作用,蒙师选拔标准相对严格。明清对蒙师作用和地位的肯定,对于今天尊师重教风气的发扬和中小学教师地位的提高有参考价值。
