He Qin believes that the curriculum content of traditional education is fixed, the teaching materials are boring, teachers only teach one lesson at a time, and students only learn one lesson at a time.

Chen Heqin's so-called "living teaching materials" refer to books directly taken from nature and society, that is, children can gain experience and knowledge through direct contact with nature and society and personal observation. The curriculum theory of "life education" does not abandon books, but only emphasizes the nature and society of life that has been neglected by education for many years, and book knowledge should be a portrayal of the real world, which should be confirmed in nature and society and can reflect children's physical and mental characteristics and life characteristics. ?
