What are the basic principles of Chinese education?
Passed down from ancient times, the maxim from the Three-Character Scripture that said ‘if no proper education is given to children, their nature will go bad’ has proved to be true. The great master Confucius taught us that ‘it is a pleasure to learn something and to try it out at intervals’. Similarly, numerous students have been convinced that ‘reading books excels all other careers’. The records tell us that Mencius’ mother became an example to millions of mothers who were keen for their children to be talented. – she moved her home three times in order to choose a fine neighborhood in which Mencius could be effectively influenced.
