The origin of education is an important issue in the basic theory of education. So far there are four major views on it: origin in biology, origin in psychology, origin in labour and origin form needs (for social production and life), the last being the most popular in the educational circle in China. Starting with the function of morality in the origin of education, this suggests that education stemmed not only out of the needs of human production and life but the needs of settlement and love. It expands the theory of origin of education from needs, explores the moral connotation of education in its origin, and provides new theoretical grounds for the maintenance of moral significance of education in the transition of society.
