Confucius devoted his whole life to the education of statesmen. In terms of moral integrity, he put "virtue" in the first place, took "benevolence" as the starting point, advocated "filial piety and loyalty, courtesy and sincerity", and regarded "benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith" as the five permanent members. He believes that "a disciple is filial, and a younger brother is a younger brother."
Second, Confucius' educational thought: studious, methodology and practical learning.
Diligence and research-important conditions for learning.
The Analects of Confucius says that "those who know are not as good as those who know, and those who know are not as good as those who know." He attaches great importance to cultivating students' interest in conscious learning, praising the excellent and criticizing the lazy.
(b) Learning methods-a bridge to knowledge.
Paying attention to learning methods is a learning attitude that every student should have. Confucius praised Yan Hui for this many times. He advocated "making the past serve the present". He said, "Isn't it pleasant to study from now on?" He also said: "review the past and learn new things, and you can be a teacher." Think independently when studying, but thinking must be based on careful reading. He pointed out: "Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous."
Third, Confucius' educational thought: rigorous scholarship and grasping the law.
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also." Almost everyone knows this sentence of Confucius, and this is Confucius' attitude towards learning-rigorous and realistic. He once said: "Li Xia, I can say, but I can't ask; Li Yin, what I can say is not enough in the Song Dynasty. There is not enough literature, I can collect it. " I can say it in Xia Dynasty, but its descendant Qi State is not enough to prove it. Yin Zhili can say that his son Sun Songguo is not enough to prove it. This is why there are not enough information about Qi and Song countries and sages who are familiar with history. If there are enough materials, then I can prove it with them. This is enough to show Confucius' rigorous and solid attitude towards scholarship.
