Education is a social activity to cultivate people. Education, in English, means "cultivation and self-growth"; In German, it means "guide, wake up"; In China's culture, it means "something is given from above, but something is effective from below". No matter what kind of explanation, education must form a trinity of family, school and society, and it can be successful through students' subjective internal factors.

Pedagogy is a science that studies the phenomena and problems of human education and reveals the general laws of education. Pedagogy is an independent discipline.
