What is the saying that traditional culture is the historical basis of education in China?

In the thought and practice of China's educational tradition, there are original educational thoughts that are similar and interlinked with the western educational origins and modern educational ideas, such as "building the country and respecting the people, putting teaching first", "teaching all students in accordance with their aptitude", "integrating knowledge with practice" and "never too old to learn". China's educational tradition not only advocates authority, but also does not believe in authority. Its main spirit is to advocate independent thinking, practice and innovation. For example, Confucius' heuristic and Plato's "midwifery" were born almost at the same time (about 50 years earlier than Confucius), and their forms and connotations are basically the same; Although China's mathematics is different from Arabic or European mathematics in concept and form, they all contribute to the development of world mathematics. The origin and practice of Chinese academies are almost synchronous with those of western universities, and the traditional spirit is highly consistent. However, its different forms and characteristics are also an important reference for the future higher education reform in China and even the world. The eternal and innovative value of China's educational tradition has long been concerned by foreign thinkers and educators, which not only influenced Voltaire, a French thinker hundreds of years ago, but also Gardner, a Harvard professor who founded the theory of "multiple intelligences" in recent years, repeatedly stressed that his thoughts borrowed from China's educational tradition. It can be seen that the essence of China's educational tradition needs serious reflection, absorption and development by Chinese people. Total negation, with a little flavor, is a sign of irresponsibility to history, the nation and the future, and a sign of lack of basic cultural literacy. What needs to be remembered is that a nation that doesn't know how to respect its own traditions can hardly be respected by other nations, and it is also difficult to be truly confident and self-reliant.
