As early as thousands of years ago, the education of Athenians in ancient Greece emphasized the moral cultivation of teenagers. People's "virtue" is not innate, but the result of education. Socrates said: Simple music and literature education can make people have spiritual restraint.

brief introduction

Plato believes that "a child has received a good education since childhood, and rhythm and harmony are integrated into his heart, and he will become gentle and polite; If your education is not good, the result will be the opposite. "

Under the influence of this educational idea, even in the era of war and strife, the Athenians still have a high degree of cultural literacy and are full of philosopher's breath in their thoughts.

In other words, the study of music, art and other arts can drive away impetuous and evil parts of human nature, make people have wisdom, justice, courage and know the "golden mean", so as to develop the "goodness" in human nature to the maximum extent!

When it comes to "temperance", we can compare the "impetuous" mentality that students generally have now, and school bullying's repeated prohibitions, which are the consequences of neglecting art education such as music and art.
