Based on the PERMA well-being model proposed by Martin E.P. Seligman, this study examined the current situation and factors influencing teachers' well-being in Guangxi's compulsory education from five dimensions: positive emotions, meaning, achievement, commitment, and relationships in the context of the double reduction policy. The results show that teachers' well-being is generally at an intermediate level, with uneven development of each dimension; individual factors such as teachers' professional competence, organizational factors such as students and families, and social factors such as teachers' treatment and policy implementation all influence the level of teachers' well-being. This paper then goes on to construct pathways to enhance teachers' happiness at the micro, meso, and macro levels.
