The light of reason and humanity endows the pride of the times with deep faith and enthusiasm. College students find the most suitable place to live in the space they are interested in. The initial experience and final emotion of all the students who join the club are more than just a feeling of dream interpretation. Student associations are an important part of university culture, an important embodiment of campus vitality, vitality and charm, and an important carrier for cultivating college students' comprehensive quality. Student associations have played an important role in prospering campus culture and enriching students' after-school life, and become one of the important windows for the school's foreign exchange. Since the establishment of 198 1 the first student association, Red Candle Literature Society, our student association has gone through ups and downs for 26 years. These 26 years have gone hand in hand from spontaneous production to conscious development, from relying on interests to educating people through activities, from free activities to forming scale, and from single form to letting a hundred flowers blossom. With the deepening of educational system reform and the new changes in students' learning and lifestyle, student associations have become a group with great influence and cohesion in colleges and universities. She is not only a channel for students' ideological and political work, but also an effective way for young students to educate themselves. She is not only welcomed by students of different grades, ages and hobbies, but also embodies the school spirit and study style in the construction of spiritual civilization in our school, and plays an important role in creating a good cultural atmosphere in our school. I. Development Status of Student Associations in our school As of June 2007, there were 48 student associations in our school. Among them, there are 23 school headquarters, accounting for 47.9%; Modern College of Humanities and Sciences 12, accounting for 25%; 9 institutes of physical education, accounting for18.7%; There are 4 vocational and technical colleges, accounting for 8.7%.

The number of students covered by community activities reached 12236, accounting for 8 1.6% of the total number of students in our school. At present, the student associations in our school can be roughly divided into six categories: theoretical study, social science, academic science and technology, literature and art, physical fitness and teaching skill training. The functional department that guides student associations is the Federation of Student Associations, which is subordinate to the Student Union. Students' unions in colleges (departments) also set up specialized organizations such as the Association Department or the Association of Student Associations to provide necessary support for the work of associations and assist the Association of Student Associations in schools to carry out their work. 1, theoretical learning society. Theoretical learning societies are mainly "Deng Xiaoping Theory Learning Group" and "party constitution Learning Group". They carry out colorful activities according to the characteristics of students of different grades, and integrate the party's goals, the party's history, national conditions and the education of students' success, which has become an important carrier of the "three views" education for college students. Although the number and proportion of such associations have decreased year by year, the scale, standardization of construction and quality of activities of associations have developed significantly. 2. Social science societies, mainly represented by historical, psychological and legal societies, have a certain professional depth. Students have the same hobbies, and often hold academic salons and lectures to talk about feelings, exchange ideas and improve their cultivation and quality. Such as the Mental Health Education Research Association and the New Century Lawyers Group. ; At the same time, reading club has become an important form of social science societies, and many students have a special liking for it, showing its strong vitality among college students. 3. Academic Science and Technology Societies Academic science and technology societies are mainly some societies established by college students based on natural science and technology knowledge and combined with their different majors, such as Sina Cai Association, Computer Enthusiasts Association, Beyond Information Media Development Center, etc. There are a large number of students with strong professional ability, creative ability and practical ability in these societies, which represent the overall level of extracurricular science and technology of Chinese students at present. At the same time, these associations have also been supported by schools and society in guiding teachers and material funds. They are committed to carrying out scientific research activities in combination with scientific research and production practice, and some scientific research achievements have been applied and popularized in some primary and secondary schools because of their strong practicality and wide use. 4. Literary societies Literary societies are an important force in the construction of campus culture. Participants in such societies are mainly voluntary, but as a stepping stone to enter such societies, they often need some professional knowledge. Its main forms are divided into three categories: first, literature, such as zero point literature society and red candle literature society; Second, comprehensive art societies, such as Guitar Association and Friends of Music Group, aim to improve students' artistic quality and cultivate their artistic talent. These associations not only perform in schools, but also promote campus culture to communities and society, becoming a new force in the construction of social spiritual civilization; Third, art societies with a high degree of popularization. Among them, especially the photography association, philatelic association and other participants are the public. The members of these societies are both popular and professional, and their hobbies are fully reflected in the activities of the societies, so they often produce many good results spontaneously. This kind of community is characterized by relatively fixed members, and some core members are very cohesive and professional. These core members determine the existence and development of these associations. 5. Sports Fitness Association The Sports Fitness Association has carried out a series of activities integrating competition and entertainment in combination with the national fitness campaign. There are three types of sports fitness clubs in our school, namely, ball games, chess and bodybuilding dance. In the ball club, in addition to the competition, it also undertakes the work of cheering for the fans, referee training, organizing ball evaluation and watching the ball. With the popularization of various national ball games, such ball clubs in schools have also developed, with football associations, basketball associations and tennis, table tennis and badminton associations as the most. In chess clubs, Go, Bridge and China Chess are the top three. These clubs often offer lectures, analyze chessboards and organize competitions. Because the investment is not much and the required space is not large, it is welcomed by all parties in the school. In bodybuilding dance clubs, aerobics and international standard dance clubs account for the vast majority, becoming an important team to participate in social aerobics competitions, and also laying a certain foundation for enriching students' communicative ability and aesthetic taste. 6. Teaching Skills Training Societies With the continuous improvement of the society's demand for talents' comprehensive quality, the majority of students gradually began to consciously improve their professional skills, and teaching skills training societies came into being, such as English lovers' societies, college students' speech societies, Putonghua art societies, calligraphy lovers' societies, etc. Because these associations are closely combined with teachers' majors, their activities can also meet the requirements of the public, providing a broad stage for the majority of students to improve their professional quality, which is favored by most students, especially senior students. Second, the review and development trend of our school's community achievements. Campus needs clubs, and club culture is creeping into the hearts of college students. Countless freshmen participated in it and soon grew into the backbone of the community, interpreting life with words and confirming thoughts with actions. Community culture has trained generations of university scholars, from the experience of the community to the success of the community. With its unique perspective of pursuing freedom and personality development, college associations are becoming the activity places of many campus elites. The intervention of trendy ideas always means big or small innovations on campus. When it develops to a certain extent, some pioneers will stand out, and then, there will be various societies with their own characteristics, covering science and technology, education, sports, entertainment, electronics and many other fields. Various mass organizations provide a place for students with their own strengths to express their opinions, and publicize their youthful vitality as much as possible, just like sunshine is everywhere, which has injected infinite energy into colleges and universities. Under the background of higher education system reform and quality education, the student associations in our school have shown a good development trend. Showing the following characteristics. 1. Judging from the changes in the number, quantity and category of student associations, the student associations in our school have achieved large-scale development at a relatively fast speed, forming a prosperous situation in which a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. This shows that in recent years, with the deepening of the reform of higher education system and the comprehensive promotion of quality education, the number and activities of student associations have shown a vigorous development momentum. From the category of clubs, traditional clubs such as literature and sports are still the focus of students' attention, especially the literary clubs have grown rapidly in recent years. And some academic scientific and technological societies and emerging voluntary service societies with strong professional knowledge background are also attracting more and more students' attention. 2. Judging from the scope and content of the activities of student associations, the brand of student associations in our school has been formed, and it is changing from a self-enclosed circulation mode within the association or within the association to an open activity that goes out of the campus and goes deep into social practice. At present, the student associations in our school have gradually formed their own brand activities in the long-term development process. For example, Red Candle Newspaper of Red Candle Literature Society, english street and English Corner of English Lovers' Association, listing of green pioneer plants, mock trial of lawyers' group, mental health education and research association's mental health day on May 25th, zero point of Zero Point Literature Society, fitness club group of Institute of Physical Education, etc. Our school's community activity month has become one of the outstanding projects of our school's campus cultural activities, and it has been affirmed and commended by the Communist Youth League Committee and the Provincial Federation of Students. From 1999, May and 1 1 are the month of community activities every year. Every year, the Federation of Student Associations plans in a unified way. In a month's time, the student associations concentrated their efforts, fully demonstrated their own strength, and produced high-quality products. The members of the associations showed their elegance and exchanged ideas with each other. The distinctive community activities became the protagonist of campus culture in this period. It can be said that the month of community activities has become a youth stage for young students to show their specialties, show their individuality and lead the trend, which embodies the style of the times and the cultural and value orientation of college students. With the continuous promotion of quality education, the cultivation of college students' comprehensive quality has been paid more and more attention. College students should not only improve their knowledge structure on campus, but also go out of school and experience storms on the broad stage of society to accelerate their socialization process. As a barometer of campus culture in colleges and universities, student associations naturally began to change their activities, bearing the functions of campus culture and community culture in colleges and universities, organizing and driving members of the associations out of the ivory tower, and perfecting personality shaping in the process of contributing to society. For example, lawyers' groups took to the streets to carry out legal consultation, agricultural technology extension association guided agricultural products in the fields, and green pioneers publicized environmental protection. , have achieved obvious educational and social effects. In March, 2002, under the contact and organization of the Students' Union, the Calligraphy Lovers Association represented our school in the Northwest Calligraphy Seal Cutting Competition sponsored by Northwest Institute of Light Industry. With the participation of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Guangxi and Hunan provinces, our school won two first prizes, two second prizes and four third prizes, and the Federation of Student Associations also won the Excellent Organization Award. Many societies have proved through practice that going out of campus is not only the need of students' socialization, but also a powerful means to enhance the vitality of societies. 3. From the perspective of the system construction of student associations, the internal and external management of associations is becoming more and more mature, and good management provides greater guarantee for the further development of associations. The student associations in our school have gradually improved their independent articles of association or management regulations. Although some articles of association are not perfect, they already have the overall framework and foundation of internal management and activities. About 80% clubs have their own instructors, which plays a very important role in improving the level of club activities. Many societies have clearly defined the methods for the formation of the leaders of the societies, the responsibilities of the relevant functional departments and the responsibilities of the internal leaders of the societies, and held regular meetings to discuss the arrangement of activities, so that the whole society operates in an orderly manner. 200 1 student association work conference summarized and reviewed the work of student associations in our school in the past 20 years, and adopted a series of 12 rules and regulations including the Articles of Association of Student Associations of Shanxi Normal University. At the same time, the school's community has formulated the "Guidance Manual for Student Associations of Shanxi Normal University", which ensures the timely recording and feedback of community information. In 2002, on the basis of in-depth investigation and practice, the Federation of Student Associations implemented four new systems, namely, the qualification certification system of student associations and the A and B grade evaluation system of student associations, which laid a solid foundation for the standardized and institutionalized development of student associations. 4. As far as the material guarantee of student associations is concerned, associations are trying to actively use social resources, and gradually develop from relying solely on schools to raising funds through multiple channels, including joint activities with social enterprises. Due to the general lack of funds for student associations, the healthy development of associations is limited to some extent. While many societies are out of campus and carrying out activities in society, they also actively contact some social enterprises and make use of their intellectual and cultural advantages to contribute to the development of enterprises. At the same time, with the financial support of enterprises, community activities will be carried out on a larger scale and at a higher level. At present, some art, sports, academic and scientific associations have taken the lead in trying to solidify this way into the regular funding channels of the associations because of their strong advantages in this respect. In particular, some scientific and technological associations are actively striving for social resources, but at the same time, they are also exploring ways to industrialize their scientific and technological achievements, trying to benefit both the associations and society and form a virtuous circle. Campus needs youthful vigor and passion, but it also needs hard work and solid knowledge precipitation. Community culture needs construction, dialectical inheritance and development and rational critical absorption. Under the background of today's knowledge economy, facing the rapid development of community culture, while gaining a good momentum of development, communities should pay more attention to their own construction, gradually improve rules and regulations, reorganize internal institutions, establish and improve management systems, establish their own distinctive image, and pay more attention to team spirit and cooperation consciousness. Only in this way can there be opportunities for sustainable development. In 2005, the Mental Health Research Association of our school was rated as "National Hundred Associations", which once again shows that our school's association work is at the forefront of the provincial associations, and it has also initially realized the dream of normal university associations going to the whole country for many years. With the deepening of educational reform in colleges and universities, student associations in colleges and universities, as an important carrier of campus culture in colleges and universities, will play an increasingly important role in shaping young students' knowledge, skills and abilities and cultivating their ideology and morality. We firmly believe that under the leadership of the Party Committee, under the guidance of the Youth League Committee and the Student Union, through our solid work, pioneering and innovative, our student associations will surely bloom in the landscape of quality education in our school with a clearer development outline and stronger vitality! There is a long way to go. The birth and development of associations will leave a true emotional record for the memory of schools and students, realize students' passionate pursuit of their careers and dreams, and maintain their persistence in the pursuit of ideals. Then, the sunshine of mass organizations will spread to further places.
