Abstract

Since ancient times, thinkers have always emphasized the role of education in improving people and improving society. Confucius (551-479 BC) named Qiu, self-titled Trong Ni was a famous philosopher, politician, and educator in ancient China. Confucius's ancestor was a person from the Song state who moved to the country of Lu. He was born in the country of Lu - where many cultural heritages of the Zhou Dynasty are preserved. Confucius is one of the important delegates who laid the foundation for education in the world in general and in China in particular. For the first time in history, education was promoted and spread widely among the people. To promote his education effectively, Confucius built a rich system of teaching methods and an ideal model in society. With those outstanding features, Confucius's educational thought has contributed valuable experiences to the treasure of human educational theory in general and the history of ancient Chinese education in particular.
