First, business education is divorced from productive labor, which is unproductive.
With the development of productive forces and the expansion of social division of labor, education and productive labor are separated and become a special activity, which needs to be carried out in special places, and schools come into being. These people are also divorced from productive labor and specialize in educational activities.
Secondly, the education of Imperial College adapts to the development of ancient economy and politics, and it is class-oriented.
In essence, the state is a tool for the economically dominant class to carry out class rule, and class nature is the fundamental attribute of the state. The relationship between the ruling class and the ruled class.
Relatively speaking, the hierarchical system of feudal society will be more strict and hierarchical. For example, the "six schools and two halls" in the Tang Dynasty had strict grade restrictions. It was stipulated that the Hong Wen Pavilion and Chongwen Pavilion would recruit descendants of royalty and ministers; Guo Zixue accepted the descendants of civil and military officials above the third grade; Descendants of civil and military officials who have achieved grade five or above in imperial academy; Children of civil and military officials above grade seven in four courses; Calligraphy, mathematics and law are accepted by descendants below grade eight and Shu Ren scholars.
Thirdly, Imperial College education adapts to the development of ancient ideology and culture, showing orthodoxy, autocracy, rigidity and symbolism.
1. Orthodox. The content of education is the political thought and ethical concept of the ruling class, and education is subordinate to the rule.
2. autocracy. The process of education is a process of control and being controlled, indoctrination and passive acceptance. The majesty of orthodoxy depends on the majesty of teachers and priests, and on the majesty of enrollment, examination and teaching discipline.
3. rigidity. Teaching methods and learning methods are rigid, rote learning and mechanical imitation.
4. symbolic. What kind of education you can receive marks a person's social status. The education of classics and theories is in a higher position in society, while learning practical knowledge is in a lower social position.
Fourthly, imperial academy's education has not yet formed a complex structural system.
Because it was a feudal society, autocratic rule was serious and a reasonable teaching system was not formed.
The above are the overall characteristics of education in ancient imperial academy, which is of great reference significance to modern education.
