On Early Education in Tang Dynasty
1. The guiding ideology of family education and encouragement emphasizes early education for children, which is a valuable educational experience gained in ancient China. It is neither a contemporary educational proposition nor created by foreigners. As early as more than 2000 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period, great educators in China came up with an incisive theory when summing up their own educational experience. The idea of attaching importance to children's early education has not only been inherited, but also developed greatly. Taigong Family Education is a popular children's book in Tang and Song Dynasties. The full text * * * 125 lines, with each line ranging from 189 words to 245 words. Simple and popular, the author is unknown. This article compares educating children to farming. In feudal society, farming was called business, which shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty took educating their children and farming as the basis of all undertakings. This is a metaphor, adopting a child who doesn't teach is a waste of food and clothing. Even warned parents: raise men not to teach and be slaves; It is better to keep a dog than to keep a daughter without teaching. The tutor further clarified the harm of not learning: if you don't learn in life, you will pay the price of words. If you don't say it properly, a loving father is not a weak son, but a powerful slave. This can encourage his son to study hard and make him dare not slack off. Diligence is priceless, and learning is the bright moon and pearl. It is further emphasized that people who study hard will occupy official positions. Its superb art of persuading students can be seen from this. The idea of advocating early education has been generally recognized and practiced. Parents want to train their children into useful people, often starting from early childhood, or even from prenatal education. Prenatal education in this period embarked on the road of combining with medicine, which was a great pioneering work. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in Tang Dynasty, devoted himself to prenatal education and prenatal education in Yao Qianqian Fang. He summed up the experience of prenatal education since the Western Zhou Dynasty and put forward some basic methods of prenatal education, such as singing poems, playing the piano, adjusting the heart with ancient and modern proverbs, and being affectionate. Qian Jin Fang Yao is a medical scientist who studied prenatal education from the perspective of fetal growth and development according to clinical practice, and created a new world of prenatal education in ancient China. At the same time, it also shows that attaching importance to early education and educating children has become the knowledge of the Tang Dynasty.

2. The educational strategy of setting an example and paying attention to methods From the perspective of pedagogy and child psychology, the mother is the first teacher in a child's life. Her words and deeds, morality and knowledge education have had a great influence on the child, which can be regarded as a role model for the child. For example, the story of Zheng, the mother of Li Jingrang, a fashion book, is typical: Li Shangshu is lonely and his mother is strict. Judongdu The children are still young, the family is poor and has no assets. Encourage philosophers and speak politely. It rained for a long time, and the wall of the house collapsed at night, which was built by the boy servant. Suddenly, he saw a boat trough. It was really money. The servant came to tell us, and the lady said that the servant said,' It's a curse to get it from me if you don't listen frequently; Scholars who are cautious will gain a lot. If heaven really regards the late King Qing Yu and the surviving people as ancestors, when the orphan research is established, they will come to pay for them one day, but they dare not take them away. "Just keep it closed. As can be seen from the above description, a widowed mother trapped in poverty, while raising three orphans, has no livelihood, and is indifferent to such a huge windfall. What she pursues is the establishment of various scholars' knowledge, which has a far-reaching influence on the shaping of her son's true, good and beautiful mind. After that, all the fruit three sons rose to the first place, in Fangzhen town, which is famous for its naivety. Therefore, on the issue of educating children, nothing is more convincing and shocking than demonstrating and preaching by example. This method of education is far superior to empty preaching. Shi zai Zheng Huan has always been proud of frugality. He once asked his nephew to have dinner with his sons and nephews. When a grandson was eating steamed bread, he even peeled it off. When Zheng Huan saw it, he was very angry and said angrily to his grandson,' What's the difference between the skin and the inside of steamed bread? Why do you peel it before eating it? I am often dissatisfied with the bad atmosphere of vanity and hypocrisy, and I hate luxury and arrogance. I hope to restore my simple style and simple customs. As he spoke, he asked for the steamed bread skin that was thrown over. Zheng Sun panicked and didn't know what to do. He had to pick up the steamed bread skin, put it in a container of food and hand it to Zheng Huan. Zheng Huan took it and ate it all in front of everyone. Zheng Huan severely criticized extravagance and waste, educated his children to love agriculture and cherish things, and paid attention to thrift, which is still worth advocating and learning today when extravagance and waste are serious.

3. Diligent study and cherish time. The educational content of childhood is mainly to cultivate education, and it is also the best time to cultivate character will and develop creative imagination. Children's memory is the best period in a person's life. If you can lay a foundation in adolescence, you will benefit for life. Therefore, people in the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to children's early education and urged them to cherish their time and study hard. It goes without saying that educated scholars, even some uneducated people, pin their hopes on the next generation when their desire to study cannot be realized, thus forming a great learning environment for people. For example, the compilation and revision of agricultural books at four o'clock in the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that dead children should enter school in the first month. In Wang Fanzhi's poems, it has been mentioned many times that attention should be paid to educating children to study: foster children not as disciples, but teach them to study hard first. Once you ride a horse, you must look like it. Wang Fanzhi emphasized the value of knowledge and the importance of learning, the starting point of which was to gain high positions and high salaries. Similarly, Zhao Lu's taunting of children is to educate children to cherish precious years with clear language: insatiable students only love the present and don't think the scenery is frequent. I saw you riding a bamboo horse yesterday. It was a long time ago. Miracle's message of encouraging his second and third sons is to teach his sons that time should not be idle: I will not see my second and third sons, and I will be carefree in Wu Chu. Everyone should have white hair, and a few are on the green hills. Love if you have shortcomings, and don't be idle all your life. You can smell the national wind and praise the Millennium. Taigong family education emphasizes that children should learn from an early age: if they don't learn in life, they won't speak a chapter. Children's scholars, such as the light of sunrise; Long and knowledgeable, such as the light of Japan and China; Old and knowledgeable, like the light of the sunset; Being old without learning is like the night. A few simple words show that early education is better than late education, which embodies the educational thought of Tang people asking their children to study hard, cherish time and the social mentality of seeking wealth with books. Even in distant Xinjiang, there is such a godson poem: a boy doesn't study hard and doesn't know there is gold in the book. If I knew Huang Jingui in the book, I would read five more lamps.

In a word, family education in the Tang Dynasty was very developed, and the early educational thoughts in the Tang Dynasty were rich and colorful. Early education is the real basic education for children's intellectual development, knowledge ability and behavioral character formation, which can create good conditions for children's future development and provide a higher starting point. Throughout the Tang dynasty, the fact that talented people came forth in large numbers can explain this problem very well. Mr. Wang said: If someone creates a history, taking China's methods and books for educating children as a clear record, and showing people how our ancients and even us were edified, their achievements will not lie below. The younger generation, after learning, only don't know how to learn, don't have this ability. This paper only makes a rough outline and description of the early education in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in order to provide some reference for today's early education.
