Confucius, the founder of Confucian school
Confucius was the first great educator in ancient China who advocated heuristic teaching and the idea of "combining learning with thinking". He not only advocated the teaching principle of inspiring, inducing and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but also proposed new teaching methods. This paper will discuss Confucius' educational thoughts in depth to help readers better understand the founder of Confucianism.

heuristic teaching

Confucius advocated the teaching principle of inspiring, guiding and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and paid attention to cultivating students' thinking ability and innovation ability.

Combination of learning and thinking

Confucius firmly believes that only by combining learning with thinking and practice can the value of education be truly realized. He put forward a new teaching method, that is, reviewing the past and paying attention to students' understanding and thinking about history.

The uniqueness of educational thought

Mencius, Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yangming and other Confucian representatives all have important educational thoughts, but they are different from Confucius' educational thoughts. Confucius paid attention to the combination of heuristic teaching with learning and thinking, and emphasized students' thinking ability and innovation ability.
