The logical starting point of education is naturally the emergence of human society. The transformation from apes to humans is due to productive labor, and apes gradually formed a main mechanism with brain and hand as the core. The brain can think and the hands can operate, which makes people different from ordinary animals and become "advanced animals".
With the subject mechanism, it is possible to become a subject with practical cognitive ability, and human beings can upgrade themselves to the subject of understanding and transforming the objective world, thus turning the objective world into the object of human transformation and understanding. Understanding and transforming the objective world requires subjective ability. Human society is a form of existence created by human beings in social practice.
Ancient social education
The emergence of ancient social education is directly related to the natural ecological environment in which people live. It directly originated from the closest way of living of ancient ancestors, so its content involves all fields of social life.
There are records about the social life of primitive clans in The Rule of Dead Children: In the world of Suiren, water resources are abundant, so people teach fishing; In Mi Xi's world, there are many animals in the world, so hunting is taught. Combining the legendary ancient education with the spread and application of livelihood technology is helpful to explain the characteristics of ancient education.
At the same time, the legendary ancient education also reflected the main characteristics of regional clan culture at that time, as well as the main forms of knowledge and cultural exchanges between clans and tribes and within clans.
