"Changming Education has always thought that it is hard to come to Lin Biao." In Zhang Yuanji's mind, there has always been an ideal, that is, enlightening the people and saving the country through education. Zhang Yuanji believes that the politics of a country depends entirely on the will of the people, and the knowledge level of the people in China is too low, so no matter what method is adopted, it is difficult to reach the best state quickly. The purpose of national education is to educate everyone. The content of learning does not need to be too profound. As long as you can understand what you need to know in today's world, you can stand on the earth, otherwise you will not be enslaved and extinct by others. What was the reality in China at that time? It claims to be 400 million people, but it is estimated that there are only 400 thousand educated people, and these people can only recite the four books and five classics and write some eight-part essays, but they are at a loss what they need to know to survive in the world. Zhang Yuanji was very worried, so he called on a wide range of schools to get rid of the disadvantages of "buildings will collapse and dreams will not wake up". 1902 1 month, Zhang Yuanji published "Answering Friends' Questions about School Affairs" in Shanghai Education magazine, and expressed his educational views in detail by answering questions. In his article, he put forward two purposes of running a school: first, "don't have the idea of cultivating talents", not just cultivating talents, but everyone should improve their own quality through reading, so as to achieve "no virtue, no base, no wisdom, no ignorance, no city, no countryside and no education"
