General education itself originated in19th century. At that time, many European and American scholars thought that the academic disciplines of modern universities were too specialized and their knowledge was seriously divided, so they founded general education, with the aim of cultivating students to think independently and have knowledge of different disciplines, so that they could master different knowledge, with the ultimate goal of cultivating complete and complete people. Since the 20th century, general education has become a compulsory subject in European and American universities. The concept of general education has a long history. The Book of Changes advocates that "a gentleman has knowledge before he speaks"; The doctrine of the mean advocates "learning, asking, thinking, distinguishing and doing" in learning. The ancients always thought that mastery and mastery could only be achieved with knowledge. Huai Nan Zi said, "You gain wisdom without pains". General education can cultivate people with all-round development, which can also be called all-round development.
