Confucius advocated civilian education, and the thought of "teaching without class" put forward by Confucius is the best interpretation of the civilian education he advocated. The so-called "education without distinction" means that no matter what kind of people can and should have the right to receive education.
Although some people advocated civilian education before Confucius, Confucius provided a very good theoretical basis for civilian education. The civilian education advocated by Confucius and his educational concept of "universal education" released the concept that education is only the right of aristocratic children and expanded the scope of education to ordinary people.
In terms of education, Confucius not only put forward the famous viewpoint of "there is no class in education", but also advocated the ideological viewpoints of "learning to be excellent is to be an official", "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "learning to know". Confucius' educational activities trained many students, and some educational thoughts and theories he put forward through practice also laid a certain theoretical foundation for the development of ancient education in China.
Confucius was a great educator in ancient China. In the past years, knowledge related to him often appeared in the form of multiple-choice questions. His famous educational sayings are "similar in sex, far from learning from each other", "no lesson in teaching", "knowing in writing, keeping a promise in etiquette", "no anger, no anger, no trouble", "learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous" and "learning from the old is new".
The Core Idea of The Analects of Confucius
The core idea of The Analects of Confucius is "benevolence". The Analects of Confucius, as a Confucian classic, is profound and all-encompassing, and its thoughts mainly include three independent and closely dependent categories: benevolence in ethics, courtesy in social politics and moderation in cognitive methodology.
Benevolence, first of all, is the true state in people's hearts. This kind of truth must be good, and this state of truth is "benevolence" Confucius established the category of benevolence, and then expounded etiquette as a reasonable social relationship and a norm for dealing with others, and then expounded the methodological principle of the "golden mean" system.
