名师讲座是九游会平台小学期的特色传统之一，7月4日，第一场名师讲座在工程楼1105如火如荼地拉开了序幕。此次讲座特别邀请了王君老师作为讲座的主讲人，向2011级的全体同学介绍了她在日本学习的过程，同时以她的视角向我们展现了日本人的生活方式及她个人的所得所感。
王君老师首先从她在日本学习的经验中🌧，总结出日本是一个很重视教育的国家，从小学到大学都有国立、公立和私立学校🪒。日本除了几所名牌大学以外🧒🏼，大多数私立学校都好过公立学校，这点与中国的学校相反😖🛑。日本的私立学校无论是硬件设备还是师资力量都很强大🤚，他们把管理学校当做是经营企业🕯，所以即便是私立也希望能成为名牌大学🌍。令王君老师印象最深刻的是在毕业典礼上，校长会一个个念出证书上学生的名字，慈祥地双手把证书发给每一位毕业生🦿。除此之外，日本的家长也很注重孩子的教育，因此日本的学生是着装体面，比较有责任感且能够独立思考的↖️。接下来王君老师讲到了日本的女性，她介绍日本的女性一般都受过良好的教育，除了教授数理化等科目之外♊️，还有修养方面的教育🧑🦼➡️，课外活动也十分丰富🤚🏿，比如管弦乐队，网球等。她将日本的女性分为两类🥌🎄，一类是将婚姻当成是终身目标的，另一类是追求个人宽裕🤱🏿，追求优越的生活质量。从而现在日本的女性为了工作考虑而选择晚婚或独身的人数大幅度增加。而中国也随着女性经济的独立和社会的开放、宽容，中国女性在婚恋问题上有了更多元的选择🧛🏼。从以前的“父母之命、媒妁之言”到现在的“剩女”，可以看出中国女性更加注重自由和自我价值的体现👩🏻🚒。
再讲到礼节，王君老师这样介绍，中国人送礼，喜欢将最好的⛹🏽、自认为最有价值的礼物送人🫖，以此表达对方在自己心目中是何等重要；而日本人送礼👨🏽🦲，即使是特意去买的🪿♉️，也要故作镇静🧔♀️👨❤️👨，装出若无其事的样子，日本人这么做，是因为日本人从小接受“不要给人添麻烦”的教育，他们害怕礼物送得太隆重，反而会给对方平添了一份心理负担🕵🏿♂️🚿，他们认为令人内心不安🤽🏿，岂不是给人“添麻烦”了么？王君老师说历史证明日本的很多文化都是来源于中国👏🏿，这些文化经过漫长时间的冲刷♟，已经发展成为了日本自身特征的东西，比如古建筑的风格与唐代相似🙂↔️🫑。
讲座的最后，王君老师点睛之语是，任何国家，任何民族都有自己的优劣性，我们需要一个客观、冷静的态度来审视我们国家与日本的差异，懂得批判和前进🕺🏽。
A Lecture: Differences Between Chinese and Japanese Cultures
By Xu Cuimei
One of the SFL traditional events for the trimester is a series of lectures given by outstanding professors or scholars during the trimester. On July 4th, Wang Jun, who has studied and worked in Japan for over a decade, gave a lecture entitledDifferences between Chinese and Japanese Culturesin Gongcheng 1105.
As Ms. Wang observed, Japan is a country that values education. Its educational system includes a large amount of state schools, public schools, and private schools, and it is notable that many private schools are able to provide excellent education, although they don’t get financial aids from the government. Jun Wang was also amazed by what she witnessed at a graduation ceremony in Japan. She found that the principle called each graduate''s name and hand over the certificates one by one by himself. Besides, Japanese women have a stronger voice in the country nowadays. In her time in Japan, Ms. Wang realized that women were well-educated in general. They had knowledge and skills, and in most situations they were really independent from their families. The statistics of the age of women''s marriage provided a strong proof of the change of Japanese women. In fact, Chinese women also have enough freedom for them to make decisions on their own in the 21st century, and this significant change marks a milestone in the development of our culture.
There was an important difference in social etiquette between China and Japan. In China, people give a friend expensive, valuable gift to show that they care about the relationship. On the contrary, Japanese never try to emphasize the value of their gifts because they do not want to put pressure on others. Ms Wang concluded that every nation has its strengths and weaknesses, and we must look at the differences calmly, carefully, and neutrally in order to help us improve ourselves.
