Education is to improve the quality of the educated. I think the essence of quality education is holistic education.

What is "holistic education"? It can be illustrated by a "human" model. China's herringbone is very simple, just two strokes. Of course, it is pictographic, as if a person is standing here. There is a big "person" in the middle of this picture, and there are five branches around it. A "roll" is divided into personality and intelligence, and a "roll" is divided into physical fitness, posture and body shape. Among them, personality is divided into morality and temperament, intelligence into potential and real ability, physical fitness into endurance, flexibility, speed and strength, posture into disability, and body shape into height and weight.

The significance of holistic education lies in developing children's academic and social skills.
