Knight education is a kind of military feudal family education. At the age of seven, the children of feudal nobles went to the castle of a higher feudal aristocracy to receive local riding education according to their origins. From the age of seven to fourteen, it is the stage of serving children's education, also known as the stage of etiquette education. During this period, the boys should serve the lords and housewives, learn the etiquette of the upper class, and cultivate the feudal consciousness and morality of the knights. At the same time, waiters should receive elegant education and learn literacy, poetry, chess, music and so on. , as well as military and physical education, and learn running, wrestling, boxing, riding, swimming, throwing guns and fencing. In addition, the waiter also needs to carry out competition training, sometimes practicing real knives and guns on the competition field, and sometimes practicing killing people with simulated dummies as targets. From fourteen to twenty-one, it is the stage of accompanying education. During this period, the attendants mainly learned seven skills of knights, namely, riding, swimming, throwing guns, fencing, hunting, playing chess and poetry. At the same time, the attendants should serve the Lord, take care of horses and weapons for the Lord at ordinary times, and accompany the Lord to hunt and walk; Go out with the Lord in wartime and take on the responsibility of protecting the Lord. At the age of twenty-one, a grand ceremony will be held to award the title of rider. The end of the ceremony marks the completion of knight education. Chivalry has a religious nature, which is mainly manifested in that every knight is a devout Christian, and the church brings war into the track of Christianity and regulates the military activities of feudal lords with various prohibitions; At this time, religious knights appeared, such as Teutonic Knights, Templar Knights and Hospital Knights. The religious nature of chivalry will inevitably give knight education a strong religious color. In the whole process of knight education, feudal lords consciously instilled the belief of loyalty to Christianity in the educated. The ceremony of conferring knighthood was preceded by a religious ceremony. The procedure is as follows: the candidate knight must fast cleanly, and then put on a dress to hold a sacrifice in the church. The candidate knight offered his sword to the priest, asked for his blessing, and then swore an oath. The general idea of the oath is: to be loyal to the church and the monarch, to fight against heresy, to protect women and the weak, to defend the country, and to shed the last drop of blood for the well-being of our compatriots. After taking the oath, the priest returned his knife and warned him to help the widow, save suffering, punish evil and uphold virtue. After the religious ceremony, the candidate rode and knelt before the Lord, who patted him on the left shoulder with a knife and wished him courage. Pat him on the right shoulder again to show courage; Then put a knife on his head to make him loyal. At this point, after the ceremony, the title of knight was officially announced.
Besides war and religion, love is also an important part of chivalry. Respecting women is an important creed of knights. Young knights not only swore to protect women, but also chose a lady as their idol. This romantic chivalrous love has its historical and religious roots. The Germans kept many traditions of matriarchal clan communes. Men respected women and regarded marriage as a serious and sacred matter. Knights are baptized as soon as they are born, become devout Christians, worship the Virgin Mary as the most sacred idol, and women are considered as the embodiment of the Virgin Mary on earth. This historical legacy and religious concept led to the love of knights. Engels once called knight's love the first form of human sex. During the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, the feudal class put Mars and Venus together, which added a new meaning to the word love, that is, not only the feelings between men and women, but also the universal virtues of knights. According to the feudal class, if he is not a perfect lover, then he is not a perfect knight. Knights openly declared that they were fighting for the love of their mistresses. Therefore, the lady gave the knight the fragrance of roses, and at the same time painted the knight education with the color of love. In the later stage of Shi Tong's education, Shi Tong should choose an older lady who can sing and dance and really love each other. This is an important topic of love training. Love is a matter for men and women. In order to cooperate with the knight's love education, women in aristocratic families were also educated accordingly. The girls of feudal lords were educated in aristocratic mansions. Its educational contents include: textile, knitting, sewing and other cottage industries; Etiquette training; Learning music, dancing, reading and literacy; Religious education such as praying and singing hymns. A few aristocratic families also learn some profound cultural knowledge. Such as grammar and rhetoric. These aristocratic women with high cultural and etiquette qualities can have more poetic rhythm in their love affair with knights.
