What's the difference between ancient education and modern education?

Rigid education and practical education.

In ancient times, it was mainly men who were educated and studied. The main goal is to assist the emperor politically. Become famous, be an official, and get rich.

Modern education is practice-oriented and pays attention to having a heart that loves learning. Mainly to find a good job and make money in the future. Get rich and go to the peak of life.

In ancient times, reading was invented by rulers in order to find talents to help them conquer the world or stabilize the world. In that era of general illiteracy, it would be great for a village to have a scholar and scholar.

Then the scholar didn't do anything else, that is, "don't listen to things outside the window, just read sage books." Many people have stood the test of fame, office and life.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of this ancient education system.

The advantage is that there will always be one scholar after another. The disadvantage is that this kind of examination will greatly limit the emergence of many talents.

Because they are all developing on the one hand, it is naturally difficult to tap talents in other fields.

Compared with ancient education, modern education has made a lot of progress. Now we are cultivating all-round young people.

Moreover, targeted education can make people's ability develop to the greatest extent possible.

On the other hand, ancient education emphasized morality and filial piety. In ancient times, humility and comity were emphasized in many aspects.

Stories such as Ceng Zi's avoidance of seats, Kong Rong's letting pears and Liuchi Lane all teach people humility and courtesy.

But modern education pays attention to a multi-faceted competition problem. When I was a child, I competed with my classmates for three good things, which students and teachers liked. When I grow up, I will compete with other people's children to see who works well and who has strong ability. This is another big difference between ancient and modern education.
