The educator who put forward the idea of "life is education, society is school, and teaching, learning and doing are integrated" is Tao Xingzhi, who is a famous people's educator in the history of modern education in China, and the core of his educational thought theory is life education theory.

After Tao Xingzhi gradually formed the theory of life education in the practice of reforming Chinese education, he constantly enriched and improved it according to the actual needs of social life and education. 1936, facing the increasingly critical situation of resisting Japan and saving the nation, he launched the national disaster education movement, and successively published articles such as "Characteristics of National Disaster Education Program" and "Characteristics of Life Education", pointing out that life education has six characteristics.

From 65438 to 0946, Tao Xingzhi summarized the policy of life education as democratic, popular, scientific and creative. He paid special attention to the cultivation of creative spirit and ability, and put forward six liberations: liberating children's eyes, mind, hands, mouth, space and time.

He believes that with these six liberations, creativity can be brought into full play. Obviously, the theory of life education is a theory based on China's national conditions, which is constantly enterprising and innovative and has strong practical pertinence.
