Confucius

Look at the following pictures and talk more about them.

Confucius

Confucius (Kongfuzi) 551 BC - 479 BC

Period in Chinese history

the dominant Chinese philosopher both

morally and politically

• Confucianism, major system of thought in China, developed from the teachings of Confucius and his disciples, and concerned with the principles of good conduct, practical wisdom, and proper social relationships.

• Confucianism has influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions.

Tao Xingzhi ( 陶行知 )

Tao Xingzhi

Born on October 18 in 1891 in Anhui Province, he went to study in the US after graduating from Jinling University in 1914, and went back to China in 1917.

Tao believed that education is an active, constructive process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told.

• Tao looked at “society as school”; instead of “education as life”, he saw “life as education”; and, instead of “learning by doing”.

• He changed his name twice to reflect his beliefs. From Tao Wen Tsing, the name his parents gave to reflect their hopes for him, he became Tao Zhixing, which means “knowing then doing”. Finally, he became Tao Xingzhi, which means “doing then knowing”, because he believed that one should do first, then one will know.

Anton Makarenko

Colony, a home for children left homeless by the Russian Revolution of Oct., 1917.
