The idea of "living education" was put forward by Mr. Chen Heqin in Jiangxi Experimental Kindergarten Normal School 1940. After seven years' teaching practice, the educational theory system was established. This theory includes teleology, curriculum theory and methodology, as well as 17 teaching principle and 13 discipline principle.

The curriculum is compiled according to children's psychological and social needs, and the teaching materials are also selected according to children's psychological and social needs, so the curriculum is flexible and the teaching materials are active and can be changed at any time.
