Evaluation of Confucius

Confucius, an ancient great thinker and educator

First class Guo Shuzhen

Before Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, there was a situation of academic prosperity of "hundred schools of thought." Among them, the five schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mexico, Ming and Fa are most famous. Among them, Confucianism is the first of the five schools. The creator of Confucianism is the Confucius we want to introduce to you today.

Confucius was a great educator in ancient times. He is the ancestor of the education sector and has made tremendous contributions to the education community. Before Confucius, the school only recruited aristocratic children. When Confucius was around 30 years old, he began to establish private school. He advocates that "having no education and no class" means that regardless of status, rich or poor, everyone should have the opportunity to receive education. At the same time, it has also expanded the educational level so that some people who have low status and no money to go to school can be educated and have a good day. And he encourages students to think independently and dare to stick to the right opinions. He once said: "When you are not allowed to be a teacher," according to the different characteristics of students, the method of teaching students according to their aptitude during teaching is that students' potential can be developed. This kind of practice can make all students have a comprehensive development and is a very good way of education. In fact, I think that today's teachers should be correct in teaching the teaching methods. Because each student's level is different, "teaching students according to their aptitude" can make educational achievements better.

At the same time, Confucius is still a great thinker. He is the founder of the Confucian school. His thoughts are mainly "benevolence" and "ritual". Ren is to love, to be broadly understood and considerate of others, and what you are not willing to do should not be imposed on others. People with "benevolence" virtues must adhere to their ideals in any difficult environment, and do not follow the flow. "Rite" is to ask people to be able to restrain themselves, strengthen their personal accomplishment, and make their words and deeds in line with social ethics. On the political front, Confucius advocated "being political and moral" and advocated "education" to educate the people and "rule" to govern the country. This is the basic Confucianism. Confucianism embodies a relatively common outlook on life and world view. In today's discourse, ancient Chinese Confucianism is understood as the core of human thought. As a result, Confucianism in China has gradually become the main body of Chinese thought. It is the core of Chinese traditional culture and the theoretical basis for safeguarding the monarchy's autocratic rule. Confucianism and monarchy's dictatorship constitute the two main contents of ancient Chinese political history. But no matter what choices you make, Confucianism belongs to the treasure house of the cultural heritage of all mankind. Preserving and interpreting Confucian intellectual literature, no matter how you evaluate Confucianism, it is a historical and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. A deeper understanding will make our life more colorful. What I said above is the historical contribution Confucius made to mankind. Therefore, I think Confucius is a great man. He has made great contributions to the development of human civilization. We should be proud of him and learn from him.
