Abstract:Farming-and-reading education plays a vital role in carrying forward Chinese traditional culture and driving the educational reform in agriculture-related colleges and universities to achieve the integration of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education (quality education in five aspects). The supervisors' practice was taken as representatives to cultivate the passion for agriculture, rural areas, and rural residents of the talents in microbiology. A special curriculum was developed combining production, education, and research. The concept of quality education in five aspects was introduced to innovate the mode of farming-and-reading education. In recent years, these measures improved the students' knowledge in agriculture, invigorated their passion for agriculture, and fostered their skills for developing agriculture in Huazhong Agricultural University.
