Kindergarten, and put forward the idea of popularizing naive education. Tao Xingzhi pointedly pointed out that there were three kinds of serious diseases in kindergartens in China at that time, one was exotic diseases, the other was spending money, and the third was rich diseases.

Historical background of three diseases proposed by Tao Xingzhi;

Tao Xingzhi pointedly pointed out that kindergartens in China suffered from three kinds of serious diseases at that time, one was foreign diseases, the other was spending money, and the third was rich diseases. Tao Xingzhi suggested that the newly established rural kindergartens should reform these three disadvantages. Only by "turning foreign kindergartens into kindergartens in China, expensive kindergartens into provincial kindergartens and rich kindergartens into civilian kindergartens" can kindergartens be truly popularized in China.

First of all, build kindergartens suitable for the national conditions. Mr. Tao analyzed and studied the national conditions of China at that time, and pointed out that 8% of the population in China lived in rural areas, the rural economy was shrinking, farmers were extremely poor, and their culture was backward. Kindergartens are most needed in rural areas, and it is imperative for kindergartens to move to rural areas, no doubt. However, kindergartens must be fundamentally reformed to adapt to China's national conditions before they can go to the countryside. We should make full use of the music, poems, stories, toys and nature in front of us to cultivate children and compile children's teaching materials to make them China.

Secondly, build a kindergarten that saves money. The purpose of Tao Xingzhi's kindergarten is to popularize people's early childhood education, and it is one of his important principles to run the best education with the least funds. How to simplify the complex to run the kindergarten well with the least investment is the main problem he thinks about. Tao Xingzhi pointed out that the first way to save money is to break foreign idols, because kindergarten teaching materials, teaching AIDS and toys are all dependent on foreign countries, and foreign products are very expensive, which naturally costs a lot of money and is naturally difficult to promote. The second way is to train teachers in your own village to teach your children, and choose one or two talented and compassionate women from your own village to work as teachers in rural kindergartens after considerable training. The third way is to use the handicraft department of our village primary school and the craftsmen of our village to imitate toys and do a good job in education with less money.

Third, the construction of private kindergartens. Tao Xingzhi pointed out that only wealthy children can enjoy expensive early childhood education, while ordinary children have no share. Therefore, he proposed to break the monopoly of the rich on kindergartens and build civilian kindergartens. In Tao Xingzhi's view, "kindergartens save money and charge cheaply. Children of civilians should enjoy equal opportunities. The teacher is brought from the countryside and is congenial to the life in the countryside, so it is easy to get close. These two things can be called kindergartens to go in the direction of civilians. " While setting up Chinese-style kindergartens, Tao Xingzhi also vigorously advocated popularizing naive education. He said: "Teachers should start from childhood. Primary education is the foundation of the country; Early childhood education is particularly important. Primary education should be universal, and so should naive education. " He founded the first rural kindergarten in the history of China-Nanjing Yanziji Kindergarten, which set an example for preschool education to go to rural China. He said, "In the future, comrades all over the country will advocate that every village should have such kindergartens so that all children can enjoy the happiness of kindergartens. This is what we pray every day."
