摘要
Confucius is one of China's first educators. His teachings-most of which are meaninqful and enlightening-urge people to be benevolent. Confucius believed there should not be class distinction in instruction. That thinking, which was radical in Confucius' day, led to the end of the era in which commoners were prohibited from receiving an education. It also marked the beginning of private education in China.
孔于是中国最早的一位教育家。他从事教育是为了实现他的“仁学”思想,为了培养人“成圣成贤”。他从长期的教育实践中总结了众多有意义,有启发性的教育思想和求得知识的方法。孔子实践了他自己提出的“有教无类”的主张。他的教育活动,结束了过去由贵族垄断的官府之学,开始了学问的私家传授。
