First, conduct moral enlightenment education. Scholars in the Song Dynasty thought: "Young scholars should first distinguish between upper and lower personalities, ..... evil turns to good, and take this elsewhere, which should be cited by this young school." In elementary school, Zhu also pointed out that the purpose of elementary schools and universities is the same, that is, to "prevent their teenagers", rest assured, cultivate their morality, teach them the way of sweeping, coping, advancing and retreating, love their loved ones, respect their elders, and expand their teachers and friends, all of which are the foundation of self-cultivation, governing the country and calming the world, and also the way of learning to be a man.

Second, maintainability is true. This is based on Mencius' theory of good nature. Yang Yi, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, clearly pointed out in his book Family Instructions: "Childishness does not stop at memorizing"; It is to "improve their good knowledge and ability." The so-called good knowledge and ability is to believe that children are born with the instinct to be good. The purpose of cultivating education is to keep this instinct, so that it will not be invaded by acquired material desires and lose its true colors. After the Southern Song Dynasty, a series of expositions on Mongolian upbringing and education by Neo-Confucianism mostly originated from this theme.

Third, pay attention to the spread of basic cultural knowledge, lay a good foundation for writing, and create the necessary conditions for further study. Therefore, most of the Mongolian studies courses in the Song Dynasty are literacy, writing and endorsement, which cover a wide range, but they are all superficial.

Fourth, pay attention to develop correct learning methods, attitudes and study habits. For example, Zhu's "Exegesis on Children" talks about children's hearts, eyes and mouths, saying that "the three methods are the most urgent" not only talks about the method of reading, but also talks about the attitude of reading. Other aspects, such as writing, should be one stroke at a time, solemn and clear, and do not scribble; When reading a book, put the book in order, face the book, read the words carefully and clearly, and read the words loudly; Pens, inkstones and other daily necessities should be neat and serious. Put it in the usual place when eating, and put it back after use.

In addition, most literati in the Song Dynasty also attached importance to the enlightenment education combined with children's hobbies, which was guided by the situation and lively in form. For example, when Zhang Zai and Zhu talked about educating people, they all emphasized the creative role like rain, letting nature take its course and actively inducing them. Zhang Zai thinks that if you don't accept it, it's useless to say it. Cheng Yi stressed that if a godson is not interested, he will not be willing to learn. Zhu made it clear that primary school textbooks should talk more about respect and less about prohibition.

The improvement of Mongolian educational methods also marks that Mongolian education reached a relatively mature level in Song Dynasty. And a series of expositions of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty also provided the ideological basis for the education of later generations.
