The Analects of Confucius shows that Confucius is committed to cultivating "scholars" and "gentlemen" through education, and the primary purpose of education is to improve personality.
Confucius' teaching content includes three parts: moral education, cultural knowledge and skill training. These three aspects, from the perspective of educational content structure, social needs and personal personality formation, are all initially complete. This is Confucius' contribution in the history of teaching content development.
It is worth noting that Confucius did not attach equal importance to these three aspects. He put morality and moral education in the first place, which is the focus of the three and the core of Confucius' educational thought.
