Young university teachers currently face multidimensional challenges in their development, making it urgent to establish a systematic development path. Based on the WSR (Wuli-Shili-Renli) system methodology, this paper constructs a systematic analytical framework for the development of young university teachers, covering professional development, teaching ability, academic ability, ethics and conduct, organizational environment, and social environment. After analyzing its profound connotations, the paper further proposes a three-dimensional coordinated development path: understanding physics, comprehending principles, and mastering humanities, so as to provide theoretical support and practical references for the high-quality development of young university teachers.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Gu J, Zhu Z, 2000, Knowing Wuli, Sensing Shili, Caring for Renli: Methodology of the WSR Approach.
