"Female Durban" preached that feudal cultures such as male superiority and female inferiority were shut down. The picture shows some scenes of students in class (video screenshot)
Recently, several videos of undercover filming minors "Female Durban" have been circulated on the Internet. In the class of parent-child summer camp held by Zhejiang Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association, the teacher put forward the contents of "never fighting back, never swearing back, never divorcing" and so on. The content of the lecture has aroused extensive discussion among netizens. Many netizens believe that the teacher in class is actually promoting content that violates social morality under the banner of inheriting traditional culture, which is extremely inappropriate. Yesterday afternoon, Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from Wenzhou Civilization Office that several departments have formed a joint investigation team to investigate this matter. At present, Wenzhou Civilization Office and Civil Affairs Bureau have interviewed the person in charge of Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association and ordered them to immediately stop running classes and close training points.
After combing, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that similar "female Durban" had appeared before, and the "female Durban" in Fushun, Liaoning Province, which triggered a heated discussion last year, was also asked to close and stop enrolling students. Among the minors "Female Durban" in Wenzhou, some teachers are from Fushun Traditional Culture Education School, which was previously shut down. In the face of the farce that "Female Durban" was repeatedly shut down but reappeared, many netizens questioned why "Female Durban" was repeatedly banned.
The teaching content of Wenzhou "Female Durban" is controversial.
Recently, the minor "Female Durban" in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province has continuously attracted the attention of netizens. The classroom video filmed by undercover online shows that the teacher’s content in the course of teaching has some contents that promote male superiority and female inferiority, requiring women not to fight back, scold back, submit to it, and resolutely not divorce.
Some underage students said in class sharing that she dressed herself in fashion and exposure, which was equivalent to teaching others to insult her. "Three refinements make one poison, which only hurts unclean women."
The lecturer’s remarks in the classroom triggered discussion among netizens. Many netizens thought that the contents such as "men are superior to women" and "belittling women" not only promoted feudal culture such as men are superior to women, but also did not conform to the current values of equality between men and women.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the online "Female Durban" was run by the Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association of Zhejiang Province. The classroom content came from the parent-child summer camp held during this summer vacation. The girls recruited ranged in age from 5 to 18. They came from all over the country and were "educated" accompanied by their parents.
After the controversy over the "female Durban" of minors, Wenzhou established a joint investigation team of cities and counties composed of the Municipal Civilization Office, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Municipal Education Bureau and wencheng county. The survey results show that the content of online video comes from the parent-child summer camp held by Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association in Zhoudun Village, Zhourang Town, wencheng county from August 10 to August 24, 2018. Some teachers of this class come from Fushun Traditional Culture Education School, and some courses do use the teaching content that is contrary to social morality. At present, the Municipal Civilization Office and the Civil Affairs Bureau have interviewed the person in charge of the Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association and ordered them to immediately stop running classes and close training points.
The supervision mechanism of "female Durban" of thunder people needs to be improved.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that the "female Durban" of Wenzhou minors is not a case. Last year, there was a similar educational institution in Fushun, Liaoning Province, and there were similar quotations from Lei Ren in the teaching process, including "Women who order takeout and don’t brush dishes are disobedient" and "Women should not go up, but should be at the bottom … …” . At that time, after the video was exposed, the local education bureau issued a notice saying that there were problems in the teaching content of "Female Durban" in the school, demanding that it immediately stop running the school and dismiss the students.
During the investigation, Wenzhou Civilization Office found that some lecturers of the minor "Female Durban" came from Fushun Traditional Culture Education School, which had been shut down before.
In addition, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association had enrolled students many times before this incident was exposed. Recently, there were still closed classes for minors enrolling students all over the country. On the afternoon of December 8th, the 12th training center of Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association was still enrolling students. Teacher Yang of the training center said that the class was closed, mainly for underage girls, and they needed to attend classes in Wenzhou accompanied by their parents.
When the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked about the specific content of the course, Teacher Yang didn’t want to explain too much. She only stressed that this closed class is a public welfare free school, which will provide basic protection for food and shelter. In the training center, vegetables are mainly eaten, not meat. "The training center now advocates health preservation, and vegetables have better nutrition for the body."
According to a survey conducted by the reporter of Beiqing Daily, the organizers of "Female Durban" all passed the examination and approval of relevant departments in the name of public welfare mass organizations, but they were all related to education when actually conducting business.
According to public information, Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association is a social organization. In August 2011, it was recorded in Wenzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, and the competent business department was Wenzhou Civilization Office. Fushun Traditional Culture Education School, which was shut down before, was approved by Fushun Civil Affairs Bureau in April 2011, and Fushun Traditional Culture Research Association was formally established, which is a public welfare mass organization. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called Wenzhou Civilization Office and learned that the management departments involved in Wenzhou Traditional Culture Promotion Association include local education bureau and Civilization Office.
Some experts said that inappropriate teaching content in the organization is not easy to be found in actual supervision. Because there is no problem just from the names of courses reported by these organizations, what teachers really talk about in actual teaching can’t be supervised. In addition, experts believe that "female Durban" does not involve corporal punishment and illegal restraint of minors’ personal freedom, and it cannot be legally prohibited, which is one of the reasons why "female Durban" has been repeatedly banned.
Traditional culture education needs to standardize training qualifications.
"Female Durban" has been criticized frequently, but it has been repeatedly banned. In this regard, Professor Han Xing of the Teaching and Research Section of the National College of China Renmin University believes that there is an extreme in the voice of "equality between men and women" in today’s society, and some men and women who pursue sexual liberation are more indulgent. In family relations, some women do not bear family responsibilities, including the education of their children, but some people mistakenly blame this on the lack of "female morality".
Professor Han Xing told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that at present, in traditional culture education, folk lectures are rather chaotic. "For example ‘ Female Durban ’ There are few formal scholars involved. Some people have only learned a little, some may be driven by economic interests to set up training courses, but there are deviations in understanding, some have deviations in understanding the application of traditional culture in ancient times, and some have mechanically copied it regardless of the changes of the times and social environment. "
Regarding the present situation of traditional culture education, Professor Han Xing thinks that the unified management is not enough at present, and it needs the supervision of education, culture and other relevant departments, such as the qualification management of training institutions and lecturers, and the standardization of training contents. "In some traditional culture courses, it is no problem to just look at the topic, but it may be biased when teaching the specific content. If you find something wrong after attending the training, you should quit in time."
Professor Han Xing said that the contents such as The Book of Filial Piety, The Story of Empress Dowager, which frequently appeared in the "Female Durban", are good in themselves and generally teach people to be kind, but the key lies in the lecturer’s understanding and how to teach. "Filial piety is a part of traditional culture, but kowtowing and washing feet for parents in public can easily become a performance. Learning traditional culture should be combined with the actual situation of society, aiming at problems, analyzing problems, finding out the root causes of problems, and solving them with the wisdom of traditional culture, but don’t exaggerate real problems too much.
