Tao Xingzhi's educational thoughts mainly include "life is education", "everyone can be a teacher" and "the purpose of education is to create people". These thoughts have changed the traditional education mode and had a far-reaching impact on the education of later generations.

First, life is education.

Tao Xingzhi believes that life is the best means of education, and education must be closely linked with life. He advocated canceling the school's "fish-stone culture", that is, liberating the classroom from the closed and rigid environment and integrating it into real life. He believes that all the contents of education should directly come from life and directly serve life.

Second, everyone can be a teacher.

Tao Xingzhi emphasized the democracy and equality of education and advocated that "everyone can be a teacher". He opposes all authoritarianism. In his view, education should not be instilled by a few people into the majority, but should be exchanged and edified by everyone on an equal footing. He also encourages students to give full play to their subjectivity and teachers need to respect students' independent thinking.

Third, the purpose of education is to cultivate people.

Tao Xingzhi emphasized that the highest purpose of education is to "create people". He believes that education should aim at cultivating people's all-round development, not only teaching students knowledge, but also paying attention to cultivating students' character and ability. He also believes that the standards of talents are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, not just the mastery of knowledge.

Fourth, Tao Xingzhi's view of life education.

Tao Xingzhi's life education thought still has far-reaching influence in today's educational environment. He opposes the idea of putting education out of real life and advocates integrating education into every child's daily life. He advocates that children should learn and develop through various activities in life such as labor, games and social practice, so as to realize the educational process from life to life.

2 1 century today, the society has developed from attaching importance to science and technology to a people-oriented era. Education, as a lofty cause of cultivating and bringing up qualified talents needed by society to promote social development and perfection, should naturally fully embody the people-oriented spirit of the times.

Therefore, modern education emphasizes people-oriented, attaches importance to people, understands people, respects people and cares about people, and carries forward and develops people's spirit throughout the whole process and all aspects of education and teaching. It pays more attention to people's actual needs and future development, and pays more attention to developing and excavating people's own endowment and potential.

Pay more attention to people's own value and its realization, devote ourselves to cultivating people's self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement, and constantly improve people's spiritual and cultural taste and quality of life, so as to continuously improve people's survival and development ability and promote people's own development and perfection.

In view of this, modern education has become an important means to enhance national cohesion and the basis of comprehensive national strength, and it is increasingly integrated into the trend of the times and is favored and valued by people.
