Initiating Private Schools

If we take an overall view of Confucius’ life, three clear passions define his 73-year-long life journey: firstly, he pioneered China’s first non-government funded education system; secondly, he led a peripatetic existence with his band of disciples and believers, traveling around the various parts of the vast lands of the Chinese continent; thirdly, after he returned to the Lu State in his late years, he began to sort out and compile the ancient books left behind from previous generations, namely such classics of ancient China as The Spring and Autumn Annals, The Book of Songs and Shang Shu.

A popular Chinese proverb observes: “A man should stand on his own feet at thirty.” That is to say, when a man comes to thirty he should have formed his own opinions. The first to enunciate this idea was Confucius. The great philosopher also advocated what was then a revolutionary idea in the field of education; namely that in education there should be no distinction between classes of men. In other words, everyone in society should enjoy the right to an education.

In civilized society today, everyone is familiar with the word “education.” But some 2,500 years ago, education was the preserve of the aristocrat. In the spring of 522 BC, in a place named Xingtan, Chinese common people for the first time crossed the threshold of a school and stood before their teacher. That teacher was Confucius, a man who believed that education was a fundamental right for all people, rich and poor, high-born and low.

Irrespective of whether you were the son of a common family or of a scholarbureaucrat, Confucius said you could go to school as long as you observed certain formalities These included, for instance, giving the teacher some small remuneration, like a piece of dried meat, and performing a ceremony of formally acknowledging the teacher as your teacher. Once these formalities had been carried out, social distinction melted away and noblemen and peasant became merely students...

前言/序言

Introduction

In the 5th century BC, in Athens, origin of so much that is central to Western civilization, the great philosopher and thinker Plato described in a book an ideal society: a society utterly under the reign of philosophers, in which people would live in harmony and orderliness. The book is the world-famous the Republic.

About 100 years before Plato lived, another cultural giant was dedicating his life to creating and building a society of peace and prosperity, a society of mutual love and orderliness. In the end, he died believing that his ideals would disappear with him from the world. He was wrong. His teachings gained in popularity, and generation after generation of Chinese inherited and handed down his great thoughts. This man is known in history as Confucius, a philosopher for the ages.

In the early years of the 17th century, when Western missionaries first trod upon the mysterious land of China, they were puzzled as to how such a vast empire containing dozens and dozens of ethnic g roups could coexist so harmoniously.

The key to this impressive imperial stability, the ideology that propped up this magnificent country was, as the missionaries were later to discover, provided by the life and teachings of that Oriental cultural giant, Confucius, the founder of the school of Confucianism. By the time those hesitant missionaries trod on Chinese soil, Confucius had been sleeping the sleep of ages for more than 2,000 years.
