The Influence of China's Ancient Philosophy on Education
1. The purpose of philosophy education. As idealists, teachers should believe that the purpose of education and teaching is to seek truth and develop students' own character, and philosophy is the pursuit of truth. Philosophy is sometimes called "micro-science", but it doesn't teach people specific professional knowledge and skills like other disciplines and can't bring people technical ability. Therefore, the purpose of education and teaching brought by philosophy is to increase people's wisdom, know themselves, know their own advantages and disadvantages, and reflect on themselves through philosophy. This is great wisdom and the real significance of philosophy education. Philosophy education is the ideological enlightenment education for students, which occupies an important position in modern education. As mentioned above, Kant wants to bring philosophy into education and realize the proper educational purpose for people (students).

2. The significance of philosophy education. In philosophy, Plato thinks that the best educational method is dialectics, and uses educational philosophy to guide students to know themselves. In this process, a branch-educational philosophy has gradually emerged. The emergence of educational philosophy confirms the influence of philosophy on education and teaching. The purpose of educational philosophy is not to acquire advanced educational knowledge, nor some theories and viewpoints of experimental philosophers, but to awaken and urge educators to better understand educational life and rebuild consciousness and concepts. In education and teaching, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of teachers' guidance on students' self-cognition. Education is a human-oriented activity. In other words, it is easy to understand that real people can be achieved through education. The content reflected by educational philosophy is the nature and concept of the present world, which education should pay attention to. We should understand that education and philosophy are naturally related and closely related. At the same time, the development of philosophical attitude will affect the development of educational thought, thus breaking the principle of educational practice. Therefore, we should attach importance to philosophy and bring it into education and teaching. Of course, due to the cultural differences of philosophy, different viewpoints and concepts of eastern and western philosophy will produce different development directions of educational thoughts. At this time, teachers should choose the philosophy suitable for the local area to avoid the differences in educational guidance caused by the philosophy of different cultures. We should understand that we can't blindly accept and learn western philosophy.
