The methods of family education in ancient China are

Hello Wen:

China has a cultural tradition of more than 5,000 years. It can be said that China is famous for attaching importance to family education. China not only has an excellent tradition of attaching importance to family education that has lasted and accumulated for thousands of years, but also has accumulated rich experience in family education.

Below, I will briefly describe the contents of ancient education in China for your reference:

China Ancient Family Education Center holds that filial piety is the first of all virtues, and its principles are filial piety, faithfulness, courtesy, honesty and shame. This is the essence of Three Amethyst and Disciples' Rules, and it is also the root of China's traditional culture.

Throughout the history of China's family literature, the traditional family education in China has the following remarkable characteristics:

First, there are many kinds of tutors, such as emperors, senior bureaucrats, middle and lower landlords, scholars, famous scholars, scientists and writers. Although Confucian ethics is the dominant ideology, the focus of tutors at all levels is different, which shows that the content of tutors is also different.

Second, promote more. In the development of family education in China, there is a deductive process of multi-promotion, from germination to initial formation, to maturity, and then to widespread promotion. From the content of family education, there is also a process from imperial family education, bureaucratic aristocratic family education, scholar-bureaucrat family education, to middle and lower bureaucratic landlord family education, and finally to ordinary people's family education. From the form of family education documents, there is a process from classics to family training, family training, family letters, and then to proverbs and family rules, which gradually moves towards popularization and popularization;

Third, the theoretical system. In China, although the family education theory is based on the pre-Qin philosophers, as a perfect form of family education theory, Yan Zhitui's Family Instruction is the first one. Yan Zhitui systematically summarized the achievements of previous family education theories, put forward the theories of teaching children, learning, self-cultivation and housekeeping, and put forward some theories and categories of family education, thus forming a complete family education theory.

In Song Dynasty, Sima Guang inherited and developed Yan Zhitui's family education thought, and comprehensively and systematically expounded the feudal ethical relations and methods of managing the family from the aspects of managing the family, ancestors, fathers, sons, sons, daughters, grandchildren, uncles, brothers, aunts, husbands, wives, uncles, wives, concubines and wet nurses.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhu Yongchun's "Managing the Family" was only 625 words, but its connotation was very rich, which summarized the basic principles and requirements of managing the family, managing money, studying, being a man and dealing with the world. Its language mostly appeared in the form of aphorisms and catchy sentences, so it was widely circulated, and it was a model of family education theory during the period when family education was widely popularized.

There is a classic aphorism: people can teach well! Good people are taught, and so are bad people! This shows the importance of family education!

However, at present, we are facing various realities: serious lack of social integrity! Various media exaggerate and mislead, and the environment where children grow up is constantly being destroyed and polluted. It is difficult to do a good job in family education!

Parents are getting worse. To tell the truth, many parents don't know how to be parents, so they bring their children into this world and put a lot of educational responsibilities on schools and society. However, parents are children's first teachers, and many growth experiences require parents to set an example. They shirk their responsibilities, how can they educate their children well? Really sad!

As children, we often can't understand our parents' thoughts and real experiences, just for our own convenience and enjoyment. To tell the truth, it's a bit of a violation!

When we are all parents, we can truly appreciate this feeling, but it is often too late to regret it. Alas ... many so-called generation gaps in our lives are caused by the disjointed and inconsistent education received from generation to generation. Nowadays, too many people are eager for quick success and instant benefit, only paying attention to their own enjoyment and ignoring the feelings of others.

You know, all education should start with roots, just like a tree needs roots to grow trunk, branches and leaves, and flourish. If we abandon the fundamental virtue education, everything else will be just castles in the air.

You can buy books in the bookstore. There are many ancient books about family education, so I won't list them one by one. The content is very good.

I hope my answer is helpful and enlightening to you.
