The historical and social background of the emergence and development of Confucius' educational thought;
The era of Confucius is a historical turning point in the gradual decline of slave society and the gradual rise of new feudal system. He is a transitional figure in this transitional period. Confucius' thought basically represented the enlightened slave owner thought at that time, and to some extent reflected the trend and requirements of social progress.
The second chapter of the book introduces that Confucius was born in a noble family of declining slave owners, "less is also cheap", lived in the lower class for a long time, and understood the wishes and demands of the people; At the same time, he has the opportunity to communicate with the authorities, and he can be an official. This is the reason why Confucius was loyal to the monarch and loved the people.
Lu, where Confucius was born, was the cultural center at that time, and the rules and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty were most completely preserved in Lu. Confucius was influenced by Western Zhou culture since he was a child, so he was very familiar with and admired Zhou Li. "I follow Zhou" is his heartfelt words.
