The Book of Learning is an article in the Book of Rites. Although the full text has more than 1200 words, it systematically expounds the functions and tasks of education, education, teaching system, principles and methods with simple language and vivid metaphors, and quite comprehensively summarizes and summarizes the educational practice in the pre-Qin period.

Xue Ji is the work of Meng Si School at the end of the Warring States Period. It is the earliest and most complete book devoted to education and teaching in the history of education in China and the world. It was published 1000 years earlier than Comenius, the founder of modern western educational theory.

It is of great significance in the history of educational development to have an incisive exposition on the basic problems of pedagogy. It is also called "the embryonic form of pedagogy" and "a rare world educational ideological heritage" by relevant scholars.

The standpoint of Xue Ji and quintilian on the issue of speaker education is different. The latter is the earliest educational work in the west, and it is also the first work in the world to study teaching methods and systematically discuss teaching theories. Although the former involves teaching principles and methods, it has not been described in detail as a special topic, nor has it been discussed in a targeted, specialized and systematic way.

The important educational ideas or methods contained in Xue Ji need candidates to be familiar with. During the exam, there is always a sentence on the topic, asking candidates to choose the educational ideas they embody.
