1934 published an article "Xing Zhi Xing" in Life Education, arguing that "Xing Zhi is the beginning of knowing, and knowing is the success of doing" and renamed it Tao Xingzhi. Although Wang Yangming's theory contains subjective idealism, Tao Xingzhi realized the truth of learning from the times and encouraged himself all his life.

Tao Xingzhi was born in an ordinary peasant family. He studied hard since he was a child and got excellent grades in school. At the age of 23, he graduated from Jinling University with the first place, and then went to the United States to study under Dewey, an American pragmatic educator. After returning to China, Tao Xingzhi devoted himself to carrying out new-style education, made a concrete analysis of the backward situation in China, and strongly advocated civilian education.
He once said, "China is based on agriculture, and nine out of ten people live in rural areas. Civilian education is a people's movement, that is, a rural movement. Only when the education level of farmers is improved will the overall level of China develop. " To this end, Tao Xingzhi also gave up his superior life and various reputations, and even went to the countryside to practice his future.
1927 In March, Tao Xingzhi and others founded the first experimental rural normal school-Xiaozhuang Normal School. With the foresight that rural education is the foundation of the country, and the lofty feelings of "loving the most unfortunate peasants of the Chinese nation", he came to the barren hills and became the principal of a rural normal school with a monthly salary of less than 100 yuan, and became the pioneer of rural education in China. However, due to the immaturity of social conditions, despite Tao Xingzhi's great efforts, the mass education movement has not achieved its due success.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is incomprehensible that after eating bread and butter and being a university professor for many years, after coming to Xiaozhuang, he took off his suit and tie, robes and jackets, shared joys and sorrows with teachers and students, and made friends with farmers. It is Tao Xingzhi's incomprehensible behavior that has brought China's education development to a new level.
Through continuous exploration and thinking, Tao Xingzhi sorted out a set of effective educational thoughts. Until today, this concept still plays a huge role.
1, if you want your children to be obedient and dogmatic, you will adopt compulsory education; And if you let him think independently and critically, and have imagination, you should adopt methods that can strengthen these intelligent qualities.
