Mr. Cai Yuanpei's most famous educational view in the history of education is his five-education theory, which is an innovation of the feudal educational view of "loyalty to the monarch, respect for Confucius, respect for the public, respect for martial arts and respect for reality" in the late Qing Dynasty. Five educations refer to military education, practical education, civic moral education, world outlook and aesthetic education. Later, Mr. Cai summarized it as physical education, intellectual education, moral education and aesthetic education, and especially regarded moral education as the foundation of education.

When talking about tempering virtue, he said: "Nowadays, customs are stolen and morality is declining, and Beijing society is particularly bad. Morality destroys everything, and you must be able to restrain yourself. " "So, just can have excellent people, set an example, and strive to correct vulgarity. As college students, you have a high status and are duty-bound to shoulder this heavy responsibility. " School moral education aims at cultivating students' sound personality and puts moral education at the top of the four major educations, which is a profound understanding of the essence of human educational thought.

In Essentials of Moral Education, Cai Yuanpei said that "the responsibility to the country" is "long-term", and taking history as a mirror, he pointed out that "Fan Zhongyan used to take the world as his own responsibility when he studied, and sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way." Now students, Anke does not take the country as its own responsibility! "

In addition, Cai also pointed out that moral education depends on moral cultivation from small to large, from near to far. He said: "The culture of a nation depends on the development of knowledge on the one hand and its excellent character on the other. Good character has always been called morality.

Conclusion: Cai Yuanpei believes that the "five educations" should not be neglected, in which military national education is physical education, practical education is intellectual education, civic moral education is moral education, aesthetic education can assist moral education, and world outlook education is the highest realm of education.
