Literary education attacks fools.
Yan believes that most people in China can't read and write, and are defined as illiterate, which is "stupid". He put forward the idea of cracking down on fools through literary education and improving people's cultural literacy through the popularization of literary works.
Livelihood education to eliminate poverty
Many people live in extreme poverty, which is "poverty". Yan put forward the concept of livelihood education to combat poverty and improve farmers' production capacity and living standards by imparting agricultural knowledge and skills.
Health education is weak.
Many people are weak and prone to illness, which is "weakness". Yan put forward that health education can attack the weak, and improve people's physical quality by popularizing health knowledge and improving health habits.
Moral education infringes on private interests.
Most people lack the spirit of cooperation, the concept of unity and the sense of moral responsibility, which is "private". Yan put forward the idea that moral education invades private interests, and improved people's sense of social responsibility and unity by cultivating people's moral concept and sense of responsibility.
education for the million
Yan realized that it was unrealistic to force farmers to study, so he put forward the idea that "to turn farmers into farmers, we must first turn farmers into farmers", that is, civilian education. He stressed that to change the low cultural level of China civilians, we must do it from three aspects: school, society and family.
