He advocates that education must cultivate new citizens, that is, education must aim at cultivating "new people". What he said about new people is very different from those in the old society. This new people's spirit is enterprising, free in thought, independent in action, organizing collective life, respecting public morality, loving the country, persisting in fulfilling obligations, and brave and martial. The task of national education is to "cultivate a unique national, so that this group can compete independently among countries, not just for one's talent and wisdom." Therefore, the new people emphasized by Liang Qichao are people with bourgeois ideology, spirit, character, ability and knowledge and skills needed to develop capitalist industry and commerce. ? This was of progressive significance at that time.
Liang Qichao was an educator who proposed the establishment of normal education earlier in the history of modern education in China. 1896 In his article On Normal Education, he specifically discussed the problem of normal education. He realized the importance of normal education from the educational development after Meiji Restoration in Japan. He said that normal education is "the foundation of group learning" and it is the foundation and guarantee to improve the whole education quality. Based on this, he advocated teacher education and added it when designing the education system. Liang Qichao's thought of normal education is an important part of his whole reform thought.
Liang Qichao regards the reform of the imperial examination and the development of schools as an important way to enlighten the people and save the country and the people. He advocates the establishment of a complete school system at all levels throughout the country, and strives to make education at all levels conform to the laws of the physical and mental development of the educated, so that the whole education system can be established on a scientific basis.
