As long as you work hard enough, it's hard not to shine.

Shakespeare, the great British writer, said: books are the nutrition of the world. Life without books is like without sunshine; without books in wisdom is like a bird without wings. Reading gives words eternal value. They are more ethereal than images, clearer than memories, and more profound than meditation. It puts you on the shoulders of giants and puts you above the thinking of great men. Reading is an important way of human socialization, which transforms a natural person into a social person. Many of the world, life and society we know come from reading.

Before I retire, I can edit the manuscripts I have written during my 36 years of teaching into a book, "Aesthetic Education Life, colorful chapters", and publish it to the public. Today, the school held a grand and warm issuing ceremony for my book, which made me very moved and warm. Thank the school leaders for their concern, support and love. I would like to thank the broad masses of teachers and students for their strong cooperation, trust and help, for the strong support and encouragement of their predecessors and friends in the art and calligraphy circles, and for the hard work and strict quality control of the friends of Jiangxi people's Publishing House.

As for the original intention of publishing this book, the book is preface one, two and three. The views and opinions on this book are discussed from the perspective of the president, the university professor and the dean of the painting academy. It is believed that we try our best to launch teacher Xie's book in order to preserve and pass on the experience and achievements that this old educator has worked so hard to achieve. When they read teacher Xie Chen's book, they will certainly lead to in-depth thinking about the value of life, obtain useful knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, obtain wisdom and aesthetic happiness, enrich their emotions, and spend a meaningful and brilliant life.

Strictly speaking, my book is not a monograph, but at best a collection of manuscripts. however, after inadvertently sorting out and classifying it, I was surprised by the result, and a colorful chapter of nearly 100,000 words was quietly formed. After being calm, I realized that every teacher, no matter which subject you teach, no matter whether your life is vigorous or unknown, as long as you work hard enough, you will certainly succeed. as long as you are persistent enough, it is very difficult not to shine. Due to the inscription and painting of art and calligraphy masters, as well as the participation of teachers and students in art and photography, it adds luster to this book with both pictures and texts and extraordinary style. It is like a platter with seven flavors. Each article has its own independence. After classifying them, they have a certain connection with each other. Therefore, reading is relatively free.

The book is divided into seven chapters: first, love the post, dedication, second, study, self-cultivation, third, education reform, scientific research, fourth, culture, construction, fifth, study, exchange, sixth, blog, miscellaneous talk, seventh, creation, harvest. Most of the articles are papers, cases and subject studies in which I participate in various provincial and municipal competitions or award-winning competitions, and some are speeches, reporting materials and high-quality class comments, miscellaneous talks, amateur art creation, and so on. Seven aspects symbolize the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple in nature. The rainbow is colorful and dazzling because it has experienced the scouring and baptism of the storm. The analogy between this natural phenomenon in the universe and the colorful life of the individual is ingenious and far-reaching (headmaster's words).

In the part of the paper, there are arguments on the major theme, as well as a class and an activity. The characteristics of these articles are as follows: the theme is distinct, the argument is scientific and rigorous, the argument is sufficient and powerful, and theory is combined with practice. Most of them are the experience, feeling and harvest of their own participation in the reform of art education in middle school. The chronicle paper "Let the flower buds of national culture bloom more colorful" reflects that our school has introduced the porcelain board painting listed as the national intangible cultural heritage into the classroom and set up a Nanchang porcelain board painting activity group. every year, there are live competitions and performances of students' porcelain board painting in the campus art festival. From an early age, we should cultivate students' responsibility and obligation to protect and inherit the national cultural heritage. This pioneering work has achieved remarkable results through years of exploration and practice and has been reported by the major media of provinces and cities in sequence. In the conventional classroom teaching, also take the initiative to participate in reform and innovation, the paper "excavate red resources, open up teaching space", through a small part to see the whole, starting with exploring a class, reflect the three characteristics of classroom teaching reform: openness, flexibility and comprehensiveness. This article has been reprinted and published by many media.

An excellent art teacher, if there is no creative experience, then his life is not full, but also lack of taste. For decades, I have persisted in amateur art creation. Categories include sketches, posters, oil paintings and so on. Most of the creations are scheduled to take place during the summer vacation from July to August. People who have experienced literary and artistic creation must be able to experience the sweetness and hard work in the process of creation, not to mention facing the heat and heat. However, the rewards are rich. All the works have been selected into provincial and municipal art exhibitions and most of them have won prizes, and some of them have been published in provincial and municipal newspapers and periodicals. In 1997, he was admitted as a member of the Provincial artists Association.

While paying attention to personal professional growth, we should strengthen all kinds of artistic accomplishment, including literature, music, current affairs, history and other knowledge. The sixth chapter of this book: art sea, miscellaneous talk, which are all personal original blogs. I want to express my views on the appreciation of various kinds of art. Anyone who enters my blog will feel excited and charming. There are more than 6000 blogs for you to choose from. Most of them are my excerpts of classic clips, involving inspirational, life, literature and art, health care, future generations training and so on. Enlighten your mind, broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge and improve your quality of life.

In the process of editing and sorting out this book, let me once again experience the baptism and harvest of life:

(1) reaping the truth, warmth and emotion

In recent years. The school has undergone several great changes and remarkable achievements. A series of major events such as the establishment and establishment of Nanchang 28 Middle School Education Group, the planning and construction of new schools, and the implementation of new measures for education and teaching reform. School leaders, especially headmaster Zhou Qing, are the most busy. However, in order to support my book, let me do a good job in the first shot of the growth of 28 middle school teachers (the first personal monograph funded by the school since the founding of the school), he wrote the preface to the book himself. Vice President Yang Shuisheng not only personally reviewed the manuscript and discussed the relevant matters with me, but also took charge of drafting the preface: look up high and drill hard. Their powerful actions are a great inspiration and spur to me and to the majority of teachers.

Mr. Li Hui, director of the Chinese artists Association, vice chairman of the Jiangxi artists Association and director of the Provincial calligrapher Association, learned that I was going to publish a book and stole my spare time. I wrote two different inscriptions with four feet of Xuan respectively.

When I called my old friend, Luan Bu, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Jiangxi normal University and a famous oil painter in China, and told him that I was going to publish a book, he was leading graduate students to draw life in Lushan Mountain. I didn't have the heart to disturb too much and asked him to write a few words for me. Unexpectedly, 3-4 days later he sent me an ebullient and sincere congratulatory essay.

Xiong Qing, president of Nanchang painting Academy, proposed to write a preface to my book after reading my first draft. He is usually busy with work and creative tasks. I made use of May short holiday to revise the draft three times from the 1st to 7th. In order to deliberate a word, several phone calls were made to confirm.

Mr. Peng Kaitian, a famous painter, has just returned from a solo exhibition abroad. I heard that I was going to publish a book. I gladly picked up my pen and wrote an inscription on the painting: please climb another tall building. The moral is to move to a new height in life through the publication of books.

Famous calligrapher, Mr. Xu Linyi, honorary president of Nanchang calligrapher Association and one of the ten elders of calligraphers in our province, regardless of his age, learned that I wanted to find a famous artist to write the title of his book without saying a word, and took the initiative to hand-write under the lamp at night. I wrote three ink treasures in horizontal row, vertical row and Doufang respectively.

The above are all calligraphers and painters of our province and even the whole country. They are so enthusiastic and straightforward for the aesthetic education cause of an ordinary teacher. It is enough to show their love for art education and noble personality. Calligraphy and painting ink treasures and congratulatory messages were also sent to me by officials, painters, colleagues and friends of cultural and educational departments at all levels of provinces and cities. I was moved by their sincerity and enthusiasm.

(2) reaped the spirit and strength of teamwork

This book contains dozens of calligraphy and painting works of previous and current students of our school, as well as some excellent works of two sessions of faculty photography, introduces and introduces their works, which fully demonstrates the overall quality of teachers and students and the achievements of cultural construction in our school. When readers appreciate the exquisite works of art, as one of their art teachers, my heart is full of joy and relief. And full of confidence in their future. It is expected that Chinese van Gogh and Picasso will be produced among these young authors in the future. More importantly, he is a cohesion and display of collective wisdom. It is also the meritorious service and glory of our colleagues.

(3) reaping the reward of being a sincere man and doing things in a down-to-earth manner

I have always adhered to the life principle of being sincere and doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Although there have been setbacks and ups and downs on the road of life, and have complained that society and schools do not attach importance to aesthetic education, art teachers have a low status, and even have the idea of changing careers or job-hopping, when they see that some old teachers are in a very difficult condition, still persevere, have no regrets, love their jobs and work hard, start with little things and successfully create good results. Won the respect and love of leaders, colleagues and students. Their examples let me personally experience: good environmental conditions sometimes through their own hard work, take the initiative to meet challenges, in the work to achieve the value of your life. As I said in the "postscript" of the book: I always immerse myself in doing things, reticent, low-key and lonely. However, only those who have really enjoyed loneliness can gain prosperity and closeness in the future. If today's small achievements are one of the most wonderful parts of my life, then it just proves that this sentence is reasonable. When chatting with friends, they agreed that the reason why so many celebrities came out to support them at the critical moment was not because you were nice. The truth must be exchanged for the truth.
