Extended data:

In the late Warring States period, after the accumulation of long-term experience in running a school and the exchange and integration of academic ideas after a hundred schools of thought contend, a number of theoretical works centered on educational issues emerged. Many chapters in the Confucian classic Book of Rites (Author: Dai Sheng) are the representatives of these educational works. Especially Yukime.

The Book of Learning is a special article about education in the Book of Rites. The full text is only 1200 words, but it discusses many problems of education, so it is called "the embryonic form of pedagogy". It is the theory and summary of pre-Qin Confucian education, and specifically discusses the role of education, education system, school management, principles and methods of education and teaching, teachers and other issues.

On the role of education. First, when discussing the role of education in society, Xue Ji said: "Building a country respects the people, teaching comes first." "A gentleman must learn if he wants to turn the people into customs!" Secondly, when discussing the role of education in individual development, Xue Ji said: "Jade is rough and abrasive; People don't learn and don't know. " Here, the process of education is compared to the process of processing and carving human nature.

Therefore, Xueji recognizes the relationship between education and politics. Even if education promotes human development, it also promotes social development through human development.
