Kong Qiu proposed to cultivate politicians with both ability and political integrity from ordinary people. This line of cultivating talents can be simply called "learning to be excellent is to be an official". "Learning to be an excellent official" contains many meanings: learning is the way to be an official, training officials is the most important political purpose of education, and excellent academic performance is an important condition for being an official. If you don't study or get poor grades after studying, you are not qualified to be an official. The slogan of "learning to be an official is excellent" determines the educational purpose of cultivating ruling talents, which has the most important significance in the history of education: ① opposing the hereditary system of being an official without learning and opening up the road for ordinary people to enter politics; (2) Linking academic excellence with official excellence, and ensuring official excellence with academic excellence is beneficial to the implementation of sage governance and the improvement of social politics. However, this teleology of education also had some negative effects on ancient education in China: ① overemphasizing the political function of education, ignoring the economic function of education, and strengthening China's traditional concept of "official standard"; (2) China intellectuals who are lured by fame and fortune have a serious sense of fame and fortune from the moment they enter school, forming the traditional concept of "listening to things outside the window and reading only sage books".
