Taoism has a great influence on educational thought, such as Laozi School and Huanglao School. Here "Lao" refers to Lao Zi and "Zhuang" refers to Zhuangzi. The world handed down Laozi with 5,000 words, which was written in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, and preserved Laozi's thoughts.
The essence of Taoist dialectics is to transcend the bipolar opposition of things and see interdependence and mutual transformation.
In the process of education, all forms of simplicity and rudeness, bullying the weak by the strong, and all forms of obstinacy and forced indoctrination will easily lead to the tension between teachers and students and even the failure of educational activities.
