Who first proposed the life of China people?

Ye Shengtao was the first person in China to put forward the term "China people".

Despite the word Chinese, the traditional Chinese teaching in China has a long history. It can be traced back to Confucius at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period in the 6th century BC. A new school was opened at the end of 19, with a history of more than 2,500 years. In this long history, the word "China people" has never appeared.

Before, the Chinese education of Chinese people was divided into three stages: one was the enlightenment stage, with literacy education as the center; Secondly, the basic training of reading and writing; Finally, reading training and composition training.

Until the end of 19, western learning spread to the east, the imperial examination was abolished and new schools were established. Under the impetus of the vernacular movement, this paper tries to compile a new Mongolian teaching material by drawing lessons from foreign experience. From 65438 to 0897, the textbook "Mongolian Studies" edited by Nanyang Normal College students Chen Maozhi, Du Sicheng and Shen Shukui was a groundbreaking work.

Then in the Republic of China, education in China began to break away from feudal education and move towards scientific direction. 19 1 10 in the early days of the Republic of China 10 in June, the Qing government department was transformed into the Ministry of Education, and the primary school hall was transformed into a primary school. It was forbidden to use textbooks issued by the Qing government, and the subject of "reading and giving lectures" was cancelled in the curriculum. Driven by the educational reform concept, Chinese has a unified name, and primary and secondary schools are collectively called "Chinese".

Then came the May 4th New Culture Movement in 19 19, which made great contributions to the reform of Chinese teaching in primary and secondary schools. Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, li jinxi, Ye Shengtao and others have written articles and put forward the idea of reforming Chinese teaching, hoping to advocate vernacular Chinese and popularize Putonghua in the form of Chinese. In content, it advocates scientific and democratic educational ideas and individual liberation. Driven by the wave of reform, in order to strengthen the concept of Mandarin education, the Beiyang government instructed the first and second grades of primary schools to change "Chinese" into "Mandarin" in 1920, and ordered all kinds of textbooks in primary schools to be changed into stylistic texts after 1922. After the period of Kuomintang rule and revolutionary base areas, primary schools used the name "Mandarin".
