Confucian education emphasizes students' knowledge and psychological preparation. Only when they are eager to know an answer is it precious and memorable. Therefore, teachers should not talk endlessly, but should "wait for yourself" and let "children ask me" when learners are ready.

Different from the Confucian way of education, Mohist advocates "singing even if you don't buckle", and even if you don't ask for advice, you should take the initiative to send it to your door. Mo Zhai believes that truth can only be deeply rooted in people's hearts through sales promotion and indoctrination.
