1. Schools came into being in ancient times, and education became a special function of society, and education was a tool of class rule.

2. Ancient school education was out of productive labor and unproductive.

3. Ancient school education adapted to the development of ancient economy and politics, and school education in feudal society was graded.

4. The adaptation of ancient school education to the development of ancient ideology and culture is characterized by orthodoxy, autocracy, rigidity and symbolism.

The class nature of education is very obvious. The ruling class enjoys the privilege of education, and there are different levels within the ruling class. The ruled class has no privilege and slaves are deprived of the right to education.

The development of ancient social education;

1, during the Warring States Period-private schools flourished and a hundred schools of thought contended.

During the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and Mencius and Xunzi of Confucianism each had their own academic characteristics. Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Legalism contend, standing in different classes or strata, expressing their opinions, arguing with each other, contending with each other, absorbing each other and supplementing each other.

It promoted the development of educational thought, enriched educational experience, and made the educational thought in this period present unprecedented breadth and depth, which constituted the most colorful page in the history of China's educational thought.

2, the Han Dynasty-official and private parallel.

The Qin Dynasty respected the Legalist theory, unified the thought with violence, burned books and banned learning, and took the law as a teacher. As a result, social contradictions intensified rapidly, leading to the collapse of the dynasty.

Although the economy and folk academic culture were effectively restored in the early Han Dynasty, it was not conducive to the establishment of a strong feudal autocratic rule.

3. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties-Jiupin Zheng Zhi System

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, powerful landlords monopolized the political power and formed a powerful clan group. Under this background, the system of selecting scholars with "Nine Grades of Righteousness" came into being. However, since the end of Wei Dynasty and the beginning of Jin Dynasty, the influence of aristocratic families has been expanding day by day, and Chiang Kai-shek's official position in the imperial court is almost dominated by aristocratic families, so that "there is no poverty in the top grade and no aristocratic family in the bottom grade".
