中华传统文化在国际教育中的根基性价值

4月3日，苏州美高国际高中部迎来一堂特殊的历史课：普高部历史学科带头人薛老师以“印象徽州——明清时期的徽州文化”为题，带领学生穿越六百载光阴。这位深耕安徽历史文化命题研究的教师，将多年徽州考察的学术积淀转化为生动课堂，让我们一同走进薛老师的课堂。

On April 3, the International High School Department of LWS Suzhou welcomed a special history class: Mr. Xue, the leading teacher of the history subject in the regular high school department, took the students on a journey through six hundred years with the topic "Impressions of Huizhou—Huizhou Culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties." This teacher, who has long been engaged in the study of Anhui's history and culture, transformed his years of academic accumulation from Huizhou investigations into a lively classroom. Let's join Mr. Xue's class together.

#解码徽州文化基因

在薛老师的讲述中，徽州历史的三重密码徐徐展开： 

In Mr. Xue's narration, the three layers of Huizhou's historical code gradually unfold:

·宗族传承

通过“千丁之族聚族而居”“千年古冢不动一坯”等宗法制度，解析中国人慎终追远的伦理根基。 

Clan Inheritance: Through the clan system of "thousands of people living together" and "ancient tombs undisturbed for a thousand years," the ethical foundation of the Chinese people's respect for their ancestors and remembrance of their roots is analyzed.

·商道智慧

从“前世不修，生在徽州”的民谚切入，剖析徽商以诚信立市、儒术经商的商业哲学，及其通过培养仕进子弟构建政商网络的独特生态。 

Business Wisdom: Starting from the folk saying "If you don't have good karma in your previous life, you will be born in Huizhou," the commercial philosophy of Huizhou merchants, who establish their market position with integrity and conduct business with Confucian principles, as well as their unique ecosystem of building a political and business network by cultivating children who enter officialdom, is dissected.

·文脉赓续

以新安理学与徽剧艺术为经纬，勾勒出“虽十户之村，不废诵读”的人文图景，再现科举鼎盛与文化创新的历史交响。

Cultural Continuity: With Neo-Confucianism of the "Xin An Li Xue" and Huizhou Opera as the warp and weft, a cultural landscape where "even in a village of ten households, reading and reciting are not abandoned" is outlined, recreating the historical symphony of the prosperity of the imperial examination system and cultural innovation.

#以中华文化底色育全球视野

从徽商诚信拼搏、崇文重教的特质中汲取民族精神力量，培养爱国精神；以徽州文化为窗口，理解中华文明“连续性”与“创新性”的辩证统一，深化历史认知；通过地域历史教学，让国际课程学子读懂“何以中国”，增强文化自信，强化文化认同。

Drawing on the national spirit from the characteristics of Huizhou merchants' integrity, hard work, and emphasis on education to cultivate patriotism; using Huizhou culture as a window to understand the dialectical unity of the "continuity" and "innovation" of Chinese civilization and deepen historical understanding; through regional history teaching, enabling international course students to understand "What makes China, China," and thereby enhancing cultural confidence and strengthening cultural identity. 

在全球化语境下，苏州美高始终坚信：真正的国际教育，是让学子带着对中国文化的深刻理解走向世界。

In the context of globalization, Suzhou Meigao always firmly believes that true international education is to let students go to the world with a profound understanding of Chinese culture.
