Confucius' educational thought and its practical significance

1, the object of education is "no class". In addition to breaking the situation of "learning in the official" at that time, the culture moved down and promoted the rise of the scholar class. Today's compulsory education is also related to it.

2. Education acts on society and cultivates people. Today, there are still deviations here. How brilliant the sage's foresight is!

3. The purpose of education is to cultivate "scholars". Dialectically speaking, "being an official, applying what you have learned" has both great significance and side effects that lead to misunderstanding.

4. The content of education is "writing, action, loyalty and faith".

"Disciples into the filial piety, the younger brother. They are sincere and trustworthy, love the masses and be kind to others. If they have spare capacity, they should study literature. " (Cher) emphasizes not only moral education, but also intellectual education. "Poetry, calligraphy, Yi, Li, Yue, Chunqiu" has been processed and revised, closely following the teaching of "writing, action, loyalty and faithfulness".

Dialectically speaking, there are some contradictions in Confucius' educational thought, such as ignoring practical knowledge such as productive labor, being limited by the lack of natural science knowledge at that time, ignoring the cultivation of speculative knowledge and ability, and lacking sufficient philosophical speculative atmosphere. This can also be said to have a certain relationship with rigid dogmatic teaching.
