The Research On The Ideological And Political Education Function Of Family Tradition

Family is the cell of society,also is the basic organization of human society.Family education is the found of all education of mankind that is include the ideological and political education.in the first national civilized family meeting,President Xi Jinping said: "Family education includes many contents,but the most important one is the moral character education,as the ancient said ’love children means educating children to be a person who have virtue’,if not,it may be harmful to your children ".So the main task of family education is personality education,morality education,and virtue education.Family tradition is the integrity spiritual and style of a family which expresses family’s thought and morality.To be specific,Family tradition reflects the ideological,political and moral requirements of the dominant thought in the society,but the different family has its own character,because they have different production and life practice activities,which dominant their understanding,identification,and choice of ideological,political and moral concepts of social demands,so family tradition is the ideological and political education in family and in life.We can understand it as the following way.The ideological and political education is education that makes people to accept the dominant thought and adapt to it.The aim of the ideological and political education is to control the society,but the aim’s achievement is depends on family.The family tradition is also to educate the member to accept the dominant thought and adapt to it.By contrast,the aim of the family tradition is to make family members to be better in society.The aim of the family tradition is start from individual,but to achieve,it need to accept the demand of society.The family tradition and the ideological and political education have a lot of connections.In one hand,they are both the education on life which tends to be morality.In another hand,they are both of reflection of dominant thought of society.No matter family tradition or ideological and political education,they both need to cultivate the people to comply with the behavior rule of the society,and adapt to dominant thought of society.Based on the above understanding,this article discusses the basic theory problems of ideological and political education function of family tradition,the reality of ideological and political education function of family tradition,and the contemporary construction of family tradition’s ideological and political education function.In the first part,we discuss the basic theory problems of ideological and political education function of family tradition.First,discuss the connotation,characteristics and history forming of family tradition.There are many connotation of family tradition,in essence,it is the reflection of social existence,and it is the family demands which is come from the society demands.In the aspect of the family,family tradition is the stable thought,quality and behavior habit of family members,and it is the result of long-term domestication of family education.Secondly,on the basis of clarifying the concept of family tradition,the internal unity of family tradition and ideological and political education is discussed.We think that both ideological and political education and the family tradition are the education on life which tends to be morality.As their socialization education,the internal unity of individual and society has achieved.It is because of the internal unity of family tradition and ideological and political education,which determines the consistency of education content of both.Chen Wanbai,Zhang Yaocan put forward the idea that the content of ideological and political education includes worldview education,political education,the outlook on life education,law education and moral education in the book principles of ideological and political education.Throughout the history,the content of family tradition is no more than the world outlook education,values education,outlook on life education,ethics education.It can be seen that the content of the two is basically the same.In addition,for the integrity of the ideological and political education system,family tradition is the part of the ideological and political education.It is the beginning of ideological and political education,ideological and political education in whole life,also the power to consolidate the results of social and school ideological and political education.Finally,the paper discusses the constitution of function and realization of the ideological and political education function of family tradition,and puts forward the ideological and political education function of family tradition which promotes the individual socialization,maintains the stability and harmony of the family,realizes the social control,promotes the good social atmosphere,and inherits the social culture.At the same time,we discuss the important role of family tradition in psychology,thought and behavior three systems.They are the family tradition has the personality shape in the psychological system,the formation of the world outlook,outlook on life,values,morality and politics in the thought system,and the role of behavioral norms in behavioral systems.The realization of ideological and political education function of family tradition is dependent on the method.We discuss the methods of teaching by precept and example,educating according events,disciplining with love and seriousness,writing letters and formulating family rules,and edifying by life environment.In the second part,we discuss the reality of ideological and political education function of family tradition.Along with the changes of the production mode,people’s social life mode,family life mode,family functions and structure have undergone tremendous changes.On the one hand,the socialized mass production led to the transfer of some functions of the family to the society,resulting in the loss of many family tradition carriers.On the other hand,the modern family is no longer the unit of production,and people’s dependence on the family is gradually weakened.In addition,the family structure from the extended family to the core and miniaturization has made the highly regarded family tradition education out of people’s life.Also,the abdication of parents and patriarchs,and the rise of democratic ideas have made the family tradition no longer mandatory,binding and authoritative like the past.In addition,cultural change,social atmosphere,one-child policy and other factors have effect on the loss of contemporary family tradition.In general,there are many problems such as the absence of family tradition education activity,the fading of traditional family tradition,the lack of family culture,and the social atmosphere of education.The problems existing in these family traditions have led to the problem of ideological and political education function of family tradition.It leads to the results that social and school ideological and political education can’t be consolidated,the effectiveness of ideological and political education is not high,the problems such as "second generation of rich","second generation of official" idol come out,and so on.In the third part,we discuss the contemporary construction of family tradition’s ideological and political education function.Family tradition is not only one important part in the system of ideological and political education,the basic carrier of socialist core values,but also the foundation "garden" of behavior rules cultivation and "Alma mater" of individual taste cultivation practice.Therefore,by reconstruction of ideological and political education function of family tradition,it has great significance in improving the effectiveness of the ideological and political education,carrying forward the socialist core values,improving people’s ideological and moral qualities,promoting the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.Construction of contemporary ideological and political education function of family tradition needs to understand the reality and the condition of the new age.And be guided by the basic theory of ideological and political education,the Marx’s theory of human development in an all-round way as well as the Xi Jinping’s family tradition construction thoughts to build family tradition of socialism with Chinese characteristics in new age.at the same time,the construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition must stick to the position of the Chinese culture,fully excavate resources of excellent traditional family tradition culture and the older generation of revolution’s family tradition culture,to promote and develop excellent traditional family tradition culture and the older generation of revolution’s family tradition culture,and to make them merged into the construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition.The construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition needs a resultant system,which is an all-sided and multi-angle construction.First of all,the family is the direct subject of the construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition,among which the parents are the masters of the family tradition,and their understanding of the family tradition and the conscious cultivation are particularly important.For the family of leading cadres,the cultivation and construction of family tradition is not only a private matter,but a matter of the party’s integrity.Therefore,leading cadres should give full play to their advanced nature and take the lead in the cultivation and construction of family tradition.Secondly,the family is the family in the society.Society is indispensable to the guidance and supervision of the family.The society needs to use all kinds of media to publicize the ancient and modern domestic and foreign family education model,popularize family education knowledge,and guide people to set up the correct view of the family tradition.Thirdly,the construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition needs a strong institutional guarantee.We need to promote the construction of family education legislation,to establish social evaluation mechanism and rewards and punishment system,to set up family tradition culture education mechanism,and formulate festival etiquette of family tradition.Also,we put forward the content of construction of ideological and political education function of family tradition under the insisting on the reality in China,the Chinese cultural position,the "three facing" principle and learning from excellent traditional family tradition culture,the older generation of revolution’s family tradition culture,and experience of western country’s family education.The content is "honest and trustworthy,unity and friendly,harmonious and thrifty,tolerance and modesty,filial piety old and love young,equal respect and helpfulness,law-abiding and hard working,responsibility and reverence for life,patriotism and collectivism,justice and probity".
