Explanation and Justification of Vocational Education Cultural Tradition in China——The Concept of"Great Talents"and Its Contemporary Value
Under the background of inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture,the transmission of outstanding traditional Chinese vocational education culture has become a significant topic in the field of vocational education.Whenever the development of Chinese vocational education encounters difficulties,people tend to blame the cultural tradition of"a gentleman is not a utensil",while overlooking the cultural orientation of"studying for the purpose of social practice and application".This actually stems from the misreading of the cultural traditions of vocational education rather than an issue inherent in the traditions themselves.Hence,adopting the basic paradigm of genealogical studies and upholding the explanatory frameworks of post-traditional theory,nationalistic clues and complex fields,this analysis delves into the"double helix configuration"of the cultural concepts of"a gentleman is not a utensil"and"studying for the purpose of social practice and application",uncovering the vocational education cultural roots that point to the cultivation of"great talents".These roots clarify that the cultivation of"great talents"aims at fostering"Chinese-style"erudite craftsmen who possess both moral integrity,artistic proficiency,and versatility across various skills and disciplines.The contemporary value of"great talents"lies in its potential to serve as a new driving force for the cultural heritage,innovation,governance,and effectiveness of vocational education in China.By doing so,it can tap into new cultural self-confidence,fostering high-quality development in China's vocational education.
