The education advocated by Confucius pays attention to both knowledge learning and moral cultivation. He has made great contributions to the history of education in China.

First of all, Confucius advocated pragmatic education. He believes that education is not only to impart knowledge, but also to cultivate students' practical ability and experience. He advocated that "it is better to smell than to see, to see than to smell, to smell than to ask, and to ask than to do". Only through practice can students truly master knowledge and skills.

He believes that only by becoming a gentleman can we gain social recognition and respect and make society more civilized.

He advocated "ruling the country with sincerity and winning with wonder", so that students can get happiness in their studies, games and work, thus promoting their all-round development.
