The original intention of Confucius' sentence is that the object of education, regardless of rank, species and race, "should be the same as education." Confucius also practiced this idea in his life-long education. Among Confucius' 3000 disciples, there are both powerful and wealthy aristocratic children and ordinary people from poor families. There are both businessmen and laborers, and some even used to be thieves, so Xunzi also said that there are many Confucius ("Xunzi? Law "). "Lu Chunqiu?" "Persuade to Learn" says: "The teaching of the old teacher does not dispute the importance of the rich and the poor, but it is really impossible to be the Tao", which is also the true meaning of "teaching without distinction".
2. Education theme: Confucius was the first person in China who took education as his profession. Before him, we didn't know anyone who only made a living by giving lectures.
In his early years, Confucius "tasted to make things happen" and "tasted to take advantage of the field", but since he enrolled medical students, he has made a living by giving lectures. Confucius defined the social class of teachers for the first time in the history of China. From the perspective of education, Confucius explicitly advocated teacher professionalization for the first time, which is an important milestone in the history of education.
Confucius
Confucius was the first person who devoted himself to education in the history of education in China, and had a far-reaching influence on the educational activities of later generations. Confucius' thoughts and behaviors were recorded by his disciples and later compiled into a book called The Analects, which is the most important material for studying Kong Qiu's educational thoughts.

The book "Confucius' Educational Thoughts" has only more than 62,000 words. In such a space, it is impossible to discuss Confucius' ideological system in detail, especially the educational ideological system. At the same time, because Confucius' educational thought is closely related to his politics, ethics and philosophy, the discussion of educational thought is bound to be related to these aspects and compared with each other. Mr. Chen's book also has shortcomings in this respect. Nevertheless, the author put forward a lot of insights in the book, summed up Confucius' educational thoughts, and skillfully analyzed them by quoting classics, affirmed the reasonable factors and pointed out the views that should be abandoned. This book is an excellent work to introduce Confucius' educational thoughts, with compact and rigorous argumentation logic, distinct views and concise and important writing.
