1. Emphasize positivism: Neo-Confucianism advocates scientific research methods based on experience and practice, and emphasizes drawing conclusions and laws through experiments and observations.
2. Pursuit of accuracy and clarity: Neo-Confucianism pays attention to the accuracy and clarity of logical thinking and language expression, and has important applications in scientific research and philosophical discussion.
3. Advocating freedom and humanistic spirit: Neo-Confucianism pays attention to the development of individual freedom and humanistic spirit, and advocates the free right to pursue truth and happiness. As far as its influence on China's traditional education is concerned, the ideological trend of Neo-Confucianism education entered China in the Ming Dynasty and became an important driving force for China's ancient education reform.
It has a direct impact and influence on traditional Confucianism and promoted the transformation of educational paradigm. First of all, Neo-Confucianism advocates the pursuit of truth and scientific spirit, which is different from traditional Confucianism's emphasis on moral ethics and humanistic spirit, positivism and scientificity. This way of thinking has influenced the ideology of traditional education in China, and promoted the development of new educational models such as science education and experimental teaching.
Secondly, Neo-Confucianism improved the language expression ability of ancient education in China. Because traditional Confucian education emphasizes the study of classical culture, students are often eventually trained as cultural purists. However, influenced by the ideological trend of accepting science education, educators began to pay more attention to the importance of literacy, reading, writing and language expression.
Vernacular culture and written language have been popularized in daily life. In a word, the introduction and popularization of Neo-Confucianism in China's ancient education promoted the transformation of educational paradigm and educational concept, and promoted the transformation of China's traditional education model to modern education development.
