The Connotation of Education and Its Emergence and Development
The connotation of the concept of education: the words "education" and "education" first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and Mencius first used them together (better than the education of the world's elite, three pleasures also). Xunzi said; It is pointed out in Xue Ji that those who are good ancestors should be taught; Teachers also learn from their goodness and save their losses. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi; Teaching, imposed from above, is effective from below. Education, just adopt a son.

The emergence and development of pedagogy: pedagogy, as an independent discipline, came into being in17th century. The development process of pedagogy reflects the development of social politics, economy and culture, the accumulation of educational practical experience and the deepening of people's understanding of educational phenomena.

Education in a narrow sense refers to specially organized school education; Broadly speaking, it refers to social practice activities that affect people's physical and mental development. Latin educare is the source of the word "education" in the west, which means "education".

Educators carry out purposeful, systematic and organized education and training on the mental development of educatees according to laws, regulations and industry norms, according to school conditions and professional titles, and use existing experience and knowledge to teach people, explain various phenomena, problems or behaviors for them, and improve their practical ability. Basically, it is to look at things with a relatively mature or rational thinking.

In it, people gradually moved from the touch of the senses to the state of cognitive understanding, forming a relatively perfect or rational conscious thinking. But at the same time, people have self-conscious thinking and their own sensory dimensions, so the conscious thinking of any education is not necessarily absolutely correct, but should understand the direction of their thinking in a perceptual way, as long as it does not deviate from the inherent essence of things.
