First, study in the government.

Being an official is the characteristic of the cultural and educational system in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Its performance has two aspects; The first is the integration of officials and teachers. State officials Shi, Bao, Da, Musician, Da Xu, Da Situ, Township Doctor, Township Teacher, Father Teacher, etc. Mastered academics and worked as a teacher in schools at all levels. The second is the unity of politics and religion. Schools are not only places for teaching, but also places for political activities.

Theory: "It is impossible to manage major events and be knowledgeable. The sage set up an official for it, and the word was disciplined from this. There are officials and laws, so the law is in the official. There are laws and books, so officials have books. There are books and learning, and teachers pass on learning. Learning has achieved something, so disciples have achieved something. There is one reason for being an official to stay in school. The world is governed by the same rule, and there is no private door to write. "

Second, the embodiment of learning in the government

(1) No less than Shu Ren, learning and education are controlled by the imperial palace and governments at all levels, and ritual vessels are controlled by the government. The people have no conditions to hold academic activities and no schools.

(2) No matter officials or teachers, the school is located in the government, and officials are both education officials and school teachers.

(3) the unity of politics and religion, educational institutions and administrative institutions, and education and administration. Because only the government has knowledge and the people have no knowledge, it is only in the government that it is possible to learn specialized knowledge.
