Confucius advocated "teaching without class" and believed that everyone should have an important opportunity to receive education. He teaches students to have an honest learning attitude, that is, "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also."
In the face of incomprehensible problems, we must seek truth from facts. Knowing is knowing. Don't pretend you don't know anything, cheat, and study, too. When you encounter problems you don't understand, you should ask for advice humbly.
Only in this way can a person progress, mature and become a useful talent to society.

"Learning and knowing" is the dominant idea of Confucius' teaching thought. While advocating being shameless and eager to learn, he emphasized the combination of learning and thinking ("learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous"), and at the same time, he should "apply what he has learned" and apply what he has learned to social practice.
In terms of teaching methods, Confucius requires teachers to have the educational philosophy of "teaching without distinction" and "managing the country to help the world", the methodology of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "heuristic", and pay attention to early childhood education and enlightenment education. He educates students to have an honest learning attitude, be open-minded and eager to learn, review what they have learned from time to time, so as to "review the past and learn new things", broaden and deepen the extension of new knowledge, and "draw inferences from others".
He first proposed heuristic teaching. He said, "No anger, no anger, no anger." This means that teachers should enlighten and inspire students appropriately when students have seriously thought and reached a certain level.
He was also the earliest educator who adopted the method of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude in teaching practice. Through conversation and individual observation, he understands and is familiar with students' personality characteristics. On this basis, according to the specific situation of each student, different educational methods are adopted to cultivate talents in morality, language, politics and literature.
