When reading rabelais's Biography of the Giant, everyone can laugh happily, heartily and heartily, which is why he is known as a "great comedian".

Rabelais (1494-1553) was interested in education mainly because he was influenced by Erasmus and Protestant educator Sturm. His educational thoughts are mainly embodied in his satirical literary work Biography of the Giant. The main points are as follows.

Firstly, the new concept of freedom of education is expounded. He demanded to break all the commandments, whether church or secular. He believes that the ideal society is composed of people who enjoy complete freedom, and "doing what you want" is the principle he advocates. The freedom he advocated is different from the urban freedom in the early Italian Renaissance, but mainly a kind of personal freedom, which shows his conviction of personal value and personal freedom.

Second, he advocated the parallel development of body and mind and attached importance to sports. He listed many sports activities, such as horse riding, fencing, wrestling, running, swimming, archery, mountain climbing and tree climbing.

Third, ask for omniscience. Rabelais proposed an all-encompassing range of learning knowledge, with classical languages and works as the main subjects, but rabelais introduced natural subjects, requiring "special research" on nature. Rabelais also pays attention to the teaching of mother tongue, and requires the use of mother tongue in daily communication.

Fourthly, new learning methods and approaches are put forward. Rabelais hated the tedious argumentation and rote learning methods of scholasticism, and demanded that the mastery of knowledge should be based on understanding. He believes that "knowledge without understanding is a waste of the soul", and he demands new teaching methods to make the process of teaching and learning relaxed and enjoyable. "It is not so much the students who are studying as the king who is enjoying himself." Books are the source of knowledge, and observation, conversation, games, study tours, visits and travel are also important ways to acquire knowledge.
