The main forms of ancient preschool education.
The examination records of ancient education in China began in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. In prehistoric primitive society, due to the lack of special educational activities, there is no "preschool education" in the modern sense.
In the matriarchal clan period of primitive society, there was more "public religion", and young children were cared for and educated by the elders of the clan commune. Its educational content mainly revolves around primitive social labor experience and primitive survival skills. With the patriarchal clan replacing the matriarchal clan, the emergence of private ownership and the emergence of fixed spouses, "family education" in preschool education has gradually emerged.
Under the hierarchical system of ancient feudal society in China and the gap between the rich and the poor, families of different classes gave preschool children different family education. The characteristics of small-scale peasant economy in ancient China determined that family members were more interdependent on the material level.
In family pre-school education, children in ordinary families will be taken care of by their elders during the trial period at home, and they will be familiar with basic life knowledge and social knowledge. The children of China, a well-off family, will be taught manners and knowledge besides basic life knowledge and social knowledge, and even have a special preschool education mechanism.
According to the popularity of preschool education, this paper divides ancient family education for preschool children into three types: moral education, life skills education and cognitive education.
