Abstract Constructing the “Chinese-specific educator spirit” emphasized by President Xi Jinping is a pivotal step in advancing China’s high-quality educational development and building a modernized education system. The term “specific” here signifies that the spirit of educators in the new era must embody the essence of China’s excellent traditional culture. Laozi’s educational philosophy, as a naturalistic view of education, aligns inherently with the value logic of contemporary education: returning to the essence and authenticity of education, recentering life in the educational process, and shaping a future-oriented educator spirit.In terms ofsubjectivity, Laozi’s “simple and unadorned view of human nature” and his emphasis on cultivating the “authentic self” lay the foundation for constructing the subjectivity of educator spirit. Regardingvirtue, Laozi concretizes “acting in harmony with the Dao” into inward “dwelling in what others detest” and outward “non-contention as contention,” offering moral principles of “self-adaptation” and “altruism” for educator spirit. Inmethodology, Laozi’s advocacy of “rare speech” (希言), “valuing actions over words” (贵言), and “emptiness that never exhausts” (虚而不屈) provides a framework for educators to exemplify “moral integrity as a model for scholars” and “conduct as a benchmark for society”. Onspiritual realm, Laozi’s values of “creating without possessing” (生而不有) and “dedicating oneself to the world” (以身为天下) inspire modern educators to pursue a selfless educational ideal where “achievements are made without claiming ownership”. By revitalizing Laozi’s perspectives on authenticity, virtue, methodology, and values, this study aims to reshape the subjectivity, ethics, methods, and spiritual realm of educator spirit in the new era, thereby returning education to its essence, eliminating utilitarian pitfalls, and constructing a unique Chinese educator spirit rooted in traditional cultural excellence.
