A brief introduction to the history of ancient education in China.
First, an overview of the development of ancient education in China

1. Spring and Autumn Period: Confucius set up a private school, "teaching without division". It broke through the government's monopoly on cultural education and expanded the scope of educational objects.

2. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Confucian education was promoted, imperial academy was established in Chang 'an, and schools were set up in various counties and counties, and a local education system was initially established.

3. Sui and Tang Dynasties: The perfection of the imperial examination system promoted the development of education and established a complete academic system from the central government to the local government.

4. Song Dynasty: The educational system is more complete. In the central government, there are Imperial College and Guo Zi School. In the Song Dynasty, private academies gave lectures. The academy pays attention to cultivating students' moral character in accordance with feudal ethics, encourages discussion and debate in learning methods, and allows students to talk about their own experiences, which makes the atmosphere more active.

5. Ming dynasty: the imperial examination system of the previous generation was strengthened. In order to strictly control the thoughts of scholars, stereotyped writing was adopted, which reflected a strong color of autocratic monarchy. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, academies have flourished, and Donglin Academy is famous for its activities of commenting on the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

6. Qing Dynasty: The imperial examinations and schools in the early stage basically inherited the system of the Ming Dynasty, and further strengthened ideological control and cultural autocracy in education.

Second, some understanding of China's ancient education.

1. Confucius's "private learning" developed "learning in the official" to private lectures, reflecting the collapse of the slavery education system and the development of the new budding education system.

2. From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the government-run education system from the central government to the local government experienced the development process of establishment, perfection and decline. Confucian education in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strengthened centralization, while education and imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties expanded the foundation of feudal rule. Education in Ming and Qing Dynasties has a strong color of absolute monarchy.

3. The relationship between feudal education and scientific and technological development. The development of education and the dissemination of knowledge will inevitably create conditions for scientific and technological progress. However, in the feudal society of China, because the purpose of feudal education in China was to train feudal officials and adapt to the needs of feudal rule, the role of "learning to be an official" was actually very limited to scientific and technological progress. Even in the late feudal society, education and style of study had negative effects on scientific and technological progress. However, from the prosperous period of feudal society to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the contribution of vocational education is outstanding and should be affirmed.
