He emphasized the cultivation of people's morality and ability through practice and action, and the cultivation of students' practical operation ability and ability to solve practical problems.

Through the teaching thoughts in The Analects of Confucius, we can see that Confucius emphasized the educational thoughts of self-cultivation, practical learning, personality development, teacher-student relationship and equal emphasis on knowledge and morality. These thoughts still have important enlightenment and reference significance for modern education. In modern education, we should also pay attention to cultivating students' moral character and moral quality, practical education and individual development, the establishment of teacher-student relationship and the balanced development of knowledge and virtue.

Only under the guidance of this educational concept can we cultivate outstanding talents with real moral cultivation, practical ability and personality development.
