One,
The word "teaching" first appeared in Mencius with all my heart: "A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king of the world does not exist. Parents exist, brothers have no chance, and they are happy; Yang is worthy of the sky, regardless of people, but also happy; It is three pleasures to be educated by talents in the world.
Education in a narrow sense refers to specially organized school education; Broadly speaking, it refers to social practice activities that affect people's physical and mental development. The word "education" comes from Mencius' "cultivating talents in the world" Latin educare is the source of the word "education" in the west, which means "education".
The word "teaching" first appeared in Mencius with all my heart in Chinese: "A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king of the world does not exist. Parents exist, brothers have no chance, and they are happy; Yang is worthy of the sky, regardless of people, but also happy; If you are educated by talents in the world, you will have three pleasures. "
It means that a gentleman has three things to be happy about, and being king is not one of them. My parents are alive, and my brother is not sick or suffering, which is the first happy thing; Looking up is worthy of the sky and looking down is worthy of people, which is the second happiest thing; Getting the best talents in the world and educating them is the third happiest thing.
Gentlemen have these three joys, not including ruling the world with benevolence. Xu Shen explained in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that "teaching should be applied from the top and effective from the bottom"; "Educate, foster children to be good".
It was at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century that "education" became a common word. From 65438 to 0909, after the local imperial examination stopped, western learning gradually became the main form of school education.
The popularity of the word "education" in modern Chinese is linked with the modernization of education in China, which reflects the modern transformation of China's educational discourse from "learning-oriented" to "teaching-oriented".
