As an ancient China book devoted to education and teaching, Xue Ji has left us a lot of room for thinking and reflection. We should selectively absorb its essence and eliminate its unreasonable things.

Judging from the function, purpose or function of education described by him, Xue Ji focused on the political and social functions of education, and on ruling the people to safeguard the interests of the ruling class, which was used by the later ruling class.

In the era of political clarity, it has undoubtedly made great contributions to the cultural development and social progress in China. When the society is in a state of progress, education shows a positive promoting function; However, when the rulers are ignorant, education often becomes an ideological shackle that hinders social progress, making some intellectuals blindly loyal to the ignorant rulers and harming national interests.

At the same time, it also ignores the individual function of education-satisfying individual spiritual happiness. Therefore, scholars often study well, but after studying at a cold window for ten years, the goods are delivered to the emperor's house.

The purpose of education mentioned in Xue Ji has another meaning: educate the people, make them understand things, and then change customs. This is worth advocating. Without everyone's development, it is impossible to change people's customs. A stupid nation has no future.

As a classic document, Xue Ji still has reference significance and research value. We should keep pace with the times, give full play to the role of education in promoting social progress and the harmonious development of individual body and mind, train a large number of outstanding talents, be able to cope with the changing international situation, lead the development trend of the times, and provide intellectual support for national rejuvenation.
