Why traditional education?

The advantages of traditional education in China are mainly aimed at the defects of modern education, mainly in the following aspects. First, traditional education pays more attention to professional education, such as the education of Confucian scholars in Han Dynasty. Students generally study one subject, some study the Book of Songs, some study the Book of Changes, and the Six Classics are six majors. This is the so-called specialization.

Secondly, the basic education of Confucian scholars mainly studies Erya, which is now philology. Confucian scholars don't speak foreign languages, so they have no learning burden, that is, they don't have to recite English words all day.

Third, the examination type of traditional education is relatively simple, that is, Chinese text, no certificate examination, no professional qualification examination, no English grade examination, and you can drive around the world in a carriage without taking a driver's license.

In a word, compared with modern education, traditional education in China is a typical case of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. As for the shortcomings, that's for the future. To tell the truth, before 1844, the traditional education in China was a relatively successful education model. After 1844, China traditional education did not offer weapons technology courses, and there was a lack of research on building strong ships and guns. This is the only shortcoming of traditional education. Besides, I personally think that the traditional education in China is the best education model in the world.
