Confucius's Educational Thoughts:

The main content of Confucius's moral education is "propriety" and "benevolence", in which "propriety" is the moral norm and "benevolence" is the highest moral code. "Li" is the form of "benevolence", "benevolence" is the content of "li", with the spirit of "benevolence", "li" is truly fulfilling. In terms of moral cultivation, he proposed methods such as establishing aspirations, self-denial, practicing deeds, introspection, and having the courage to make amends.

While advocating shameless questioning and being open-minded and studious, he emphasized the combination of learning and thinking, and at the same time, it is necessary to "apply what you have learned" and apply the knowledge you have learned to social practice.

Confucius's great contributions to the history of education are manifold: (1) He first proposed the important role of education in social development and human development, emphasizing the importance of education; He founded a large-scale private school, opened a private lecture style, changed the situation of "learning in the government", and became a pioneer of a hundred schools of thought; Implement the policy of "education without class", expand the scope of education, and transfer cultural education to the common people; Cultivate political gentlemen and advocate"Learn and excel in the field", preparing the conditions for the political reform of the feudal bureaucracy.

(6) Teachers are required to have good professional ethics, never tire of learning, never tire of teaching, and lead by example. He conscientiously summed up his educational experience and put forward many innovative ideas, which have become the precious educational heritage of the Chinese nation and have had a major historical impact.

7) Confucius's ideology and doctrine profoundly influenced the politics, economy, and culture of China's feudal era, and this influence had both positive and negative factors, and played different roles in different historical stages. In the period when feudal society was on the rise, it was used to serve the consolidation of the feudal system and play a positive role in social development. When the feudal society reached a period of decline, it was used to maintain the feudal system, which played a negative role in social development.

It has promoted the development of education, and then it has been able to make this Confucian thought of overseeing and prudent thinking continue to be integrated, which has brought a lot of inspiration to people in the education field and become a role model for many people, and then it can also allow people to enjoy the fun in the process of education, and put forward the importance of students as the main body.

There is also individualized education, inspirational education and targeted education. And these educational methods are very effective, and they can also make the child better.

Inspiring each other, teaching each other according to their aptitude, and combining learning and practice are all very useful, and Confucius is very good to his students.

When Confucius was educating students, in addition to historical contributions, he also taught students according to their aptitude, heuristic education, and entertaining methods.

The influence of Confucius in later generations is huge, and his educational ideas are as follows:

1. The principle of education without class: before Confucius, only nobles had the opportunity to be educated; After Confucius, commoners had the opportunity to be educated. For this reason, Confucius is known as the "first teacher" (the first teacher in the history of culture).

2. Educational strategies for teaching students according to their aptitude: Excellent teachers must give individual guidance with the most educational effect for different educational objects. For example, Confucius would give completely different answers to different questions when different students asked the same questions because they had different personality tendencies.

3. Drawing inferences from one another: Confucius attached great importance to heuristic teaching with random guidance, rather than indoctrination teaching. The so-called "no indignation, no anger, no anger", "if you don't take one corner and don't use three corners, you won't recover".

The allusions to the modern Chinese words "enlightenment" and "drawing inferences from one another" come from the Analects.

Teach students according to their aptitude, teach without class, and teach people tirelessly.
