First, primitive social education is an education in a comfortable state under the primitive social form. The primitive society has low productivity, no surplus products, no class and poor material living conditions, which is suitable for this situation.

There is no written language in primitive society, and the main means of education are word of mouth and observation and imitation of behavior. Primitive people received education in knowledge, skills and moral behavior through these forms. After entering the end of the clan commune, due to the development of social economy, politics and culture, the above characteristics were gradually replaced by many new factors and began to breed the seeds of the school.

This kind of natural education is called natural education, which is also free education. From primitive people to matriarchal clans, the educational content has gone through more than 1.6 million years, from eating blood and drinking blood, making stone tools, collecting and hunting, to learning to use fire, building houses and making pottery.
