1. Educational Thoughts:

He advocated "education without distinction", founded private schools, recruited students widely, broke the monopoly of slave-owning aristocrats on school education, and transformed educated people into The scope was expanded to include civilians, which conformed to the trend of social development at that time.

He advocated that "one who excels in learning will become an official". If you have enough energy after studying, you can become an official. The purpose of his education was to cultivate gentlemen who would serve in politics, and gentlemen must have high moral qualities. Therefore, Confucius emphasized that school education must give top priority to moral education ("Disciples will be filial when they enter, be cowardly when they leave, be cautious and trustworthy, Love everyone universally and be kind to others. If you have enough energy to practice, study literature.")

2. Learning methods:

Students must have an honest attitude towards learning, be humble and eager to learn, and review the knowledge they have learned from time to time in order to "review the past and learn the new" and learn new knowledge. The application should be broadened and deepened, and "draw lessons from one instance to draw inferences about other situations."

Confucius taught and educated people:

Politically unsatisfied, Confucius spent a large part of his energy on education. Confucius once served as a military officer in the state of Lu. Later, he traveled around the country with his disciples and entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to consult with Laozi. Eventually he returned to the State of Lu and concentrated on coaching.

Confucius broke the educational monopoly and pioneered private education. He had as many as 3,000 disciples, among whom were the famous "Seventy-two Magi". Many of the seventy-two people are high-ranking officials in various countries and have continued the glory of the Confucian school.
