Guiding Modern Social Education With The Ideas Of Chuang Tzu

Nowadays, we are living in a modern society, and enjoying the great convenience brought by the development of science and technology and the progress of human civilization. However, there is less face-to face communication between people. We seem to have lost something from the psychological or spiritual perspectives. Therefore, various kinds of problems occur, for example, many of us are bothered by depression and more and more people are not well adjusted to the society. What's more, committing suicide has become common in the society today. What on earth is the cause of these?Facing the serious, situation, we have to rethink profoundly. What draws more of our attention is that the incidence of suicide among students is on a increasing tendency. Students are the core of our future and we are in a crucial period when we have to devote more of our attention and energy to them. We must make a precise acknowledge of what they really want. Here, this paper, after doing some research on the ideas of Chuang Tzu, will combine the education ideas of Chuang Tzu and education concepts in the modern society and propose a more intelligent and more flexible way of living.From a pedagogical perspective, this paper draws some points of the ideas of Chuang Tzu that firstly, education should follow the rules of nature; secondly, teachers should give students the freedom of innovation and creativity so as to get the realm of real freedom; at last, teachers should respect students and guide them to gain self-respect and develop themselves.The methods of putting the above points into practice are:firstly, humanistic education; secondly, flexible ways of cultivating; thirdly, value the education of the nature; fourthly, set oneself as an example to the students; at last, meditation education To achieve all of these, teachers should work hand in hand with all the students and their parents as well. If all these are achieved in the practice, then many psychological problems can be controlled from the beginning. At the same time it will have a good effect on many aspects of the society.In the long run, this will also have an great influence on the healthy and complete development of the whole country. As modern people, one should not just adjust oneself to the civilization that we have built passively, but rather has a clear recognition of oneself and get to live in this society more actively and self-consciously. From this perspective, this paper restates some ideas of Chuang Tzu such as "everything interacts with each other" and " everything has its own rules to follow" These ideas are still of great significance to the modern education and further more to all aspects of our society.
