What is Confucius' greatest contribution to education in China?
In the ancient cultural history of China, Confucius was an absolute spiritual leader. It is no exaggeration to say that Confucius was a saint of China's ancient culture. Although western culture has exerted a strong influence on China's traditional culture, many of Confucius' thoughts are still respected and admired by people. The Analects of Confucius is still widely regarded by Chinese and foreign people as the "oldest and most valuable collection" of China culture.

Confucius is the founder of Confucian school, a generation of famous teachers called saints by later generations, and a man with great thoughts, noble morality and advocating benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust.

Confucius was one of the most learned scholars in the society at that time. When he was alive, he was honored as "the sage of heaven" and "the muduo of heaven", and even as the sage of Confucius, the most holy teacher, the master of Wang Xuan and the teacher of all ages by later rulers. His thoughts have a far-reaching influence on China and the world, and he is listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World".

Confucius founded the moral theory with benevolence as the core. He is also a kind person, compassionate, helpful, sincere and generous. "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "A gentleman's adult beauty is not an adult's evil" are his life principles.

Confucius is not only the founder of Confucianism, but also the first educator who taught in public in the history of education in China. He was the first to spread the knowledge of poetry, calligraphy, ceremony and music, which were exclusive to the ancient gentry and nobles, to the people, regardless of the origin of scholars, and practiced "teaching without distinction", turning official learning into private learning.
