The theory of emotional intelligence-a new theory, which was formally put forward by Salovey and Mayer, is becoming more and more popular with the publication of the book 'Emotional Intelligence'. The theory was introduced into China in late 90's and it attracts a wide attention. Emotional intelligence means as the following: 1. Identifying, evaluating and expressing oneself and other's emotion accurately; 2. Adjusting and controlling oneself and other's emotion flexibly; 3. Making use of emotion flexibly in order to prompt action creatively and designedly. Its revelation to the Chinese education mainly lies in: 1. The theory helps to prompt the change of the educational ideas, and provides richer theoretical basis for the quality-oriented education; 2. It helps wholly to improve teacher's quality, and helps to reform education and teaching methods; 3. The theory is in favor of the perfecting and development of the students' evaluating system.
