What are the ways in which poems describe teachers teaching and educating people?

Spring silkworms don't spin silk when they die, and wax oil like tears can drip dry when candles are burned to ashes.
This should be the most commonly used sentence, praising the teacher's dedication, like a silkworm spinning silk, giving everything to human beings without reservation; Like a candle, burn yourself and illuminate others until the last moment of life.
2. "Falling red is not heartless, but turning into spring mud protects flowers more."
Source: (Gong Zizhen's Ji Hai Miscellaneous Poems in Qing Dynasty)
Flowers falling from the branches are either heartless things or turned into spring mud, willing to cultivate beautiful spring flowers to grow.
This sentence is still a compliment to the teacher's dedication, but it goes further than "the silkworm in spring will weave until it dies, and the candle will drain the wick every night" Even if the flowers fall and life ends, it is also for the healthy growth of the next generation, and we must also contribute our last efforts.
3. "Hsinchu is taller than the old bamboo branches, and it is all supported by old cadres."
Source: (Hsinchu by Zheng Xie in Qing Dynasty)
Hsinchu can surpass the old bamboo because of its birth and nourishment.
This sentence not only coincides with the idea that "disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples", but also shows that the growth of the new generation depends entirely on the education and training of teachers, which not only praises teachers' professionalism, but also praises their broad mind, highlighting the importance of their existence.
4. "Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently."
Source: (Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night written by Du Fu in Tang Dynasty)
As the spring breeze quietly falls at night, it silently moistens everything in spring.
This sentence focuses on praising the teacher's education and teaching methods, melting the rain in the spring breeze and moistening things silently. It also reflects the teacher's own quality and care for students, leading by example, silently caring, carefully influencing and silently caring.
5. "Let your husband be full of peaches and plums, why not plant more flowers in front of the hall?"
Source: (Tang Bai Juyi's "Planting Flowers in the Greenfield Hall in Gong Ling")
Pei's students are all over the world, so there is no need to plant flowers in front of and behind the house.
In the poem, metonymy is used to replace peaches and plums for students. By writing the essence of everything in Pei Du's home without planting flowers (the home is conspicuous), it shows the praise for a teacher who is full of peaches and plums. This praise for teachers, from a different angle from the above poem, praises many teachers and apprentices, which can be said to be unique and applicable to many teachers.
