In the history of modern western education, Rousseau is considered to be the first educator who discovered "children". Rousseau thought: "It is natural to hope that children will look like children before they reach adulthood". At the same time, he believes that education that conforms to nature must also be free education. Rousseau declared: "A truly free man only wants what he can get and only does what he likes. I am my first basic principle. "

Jean-Jean-jean-jacques rousseau (17128 June-12 July, 778), 18 century French great enlightenment thinker, philosopher, educator and writer, 18 century French revolution thought pioneer, outstanding. His major works include On the Origin and Basis of Human Inequality, On Social Contract, Emile, Confessions, New Ai Royce, Plant Communication, etc.

Rousseau's naturalistic education view embodied in Emile deeply influenced modern education theory. He reduced the importance of written knowledge and suggested that children's emotional education should precede rational education. He put special emphasis on learning through personal experience. In his early works, he described nature as the primitive state of primitive life.

Later, under Voltaire's criticism, he described nature as the spontaneity of the process of establishing his own personality and personal world. Therefore, nature means inner state, complete personality and spiritual freedom. In contrast, society is imprisoned and enslaved under the guise of civilization. Therefore, returning to nature is to restore the power of this natural process and get rid of all kinds of external oppression and civilized prejudice.

Confessions, an autobiography published by 1782, is one of the earliest and most influential self-exposure works, which makes no secret of personal ugliness and has a far-reaching influence on later generations. China writer Yu Dafu was deeply influenced by Rousseau's self-exposure style.
