In fact, according to the philosophy of a famous person, there is no specific criterion or "eternal wisdom" in education. In other words, there is no recognized and effective educational essence in the world. In any given historical period, some things seem to be the essence of education because they are based on facts that seem to have long-term stability and certainty. Only when a complete set of educational goals appears in a static environment, a stable society, a unified culture and an orthodox church, the seemingly essence of education will occur.

X-BCE-process = image/resize, m _ lfit, w _ 450, h _ 600, limit _ 1/quality, q _ 85 Idealism says: Education is to cultivate capitalized people, stretch people, and make people's lives more romantic through education. I naively think that education is. Education itself is a tree shaking another tree, a cloud pushing another cloud, and a soul awakening another soul. Education with soul is the pursuit of infinite spiritual life, the pursuit of eternal spiritual values of human beings: wisdom, beauty, truth, justice, freedom, hope and love, and the establishment of related beliefs. Real education should be faith-based education, bearing the ultimate concern of human beings. Its mission is to endow and shape the ultimate value of students, so that they can become people with souls and beliefs, not just quasi-professionals who love learning and have special skills. Idealism always regards everything as the most idealistic, and there can be no worse. But this world is not always like this.

Education is a natural countermeasure taken by all species with social behavior in order to survive, continue and develop better, and it is an instinctive behavior of social species. In a social group, everyone has the dual roles of teacher and educated. In lower social species (such as ants, bees, etc. ), the essence of education is the instinctive behavior of this species; In advanced social species (such as human beings), the essence of education is a manifestation of general will. Now our proposition needs to be slightly adjusted: humanistic education.

The essence of education is a natural countermeasure for human beings to survive, continue and develop better, an inevitable behavior reflecting the universal will of human society, and a social behavior driven by instinctive factors and social factors to meet the universal needs of human society.

Some people say: it is never too old to learn. The power of knowledge is always the strongest. Education can change a person's character, change a person's fate and change a person's life trajectory. The power of education is powerful.

It means "review the past and learn the new" and "teach students in accordance with their aptitude", that is, "learn to be excellent and become an official", that is, "combine with productive labor", "face modernization, face the world and face the future" This may be the basic answer we can get to "what is education". These answers come from tradition, from the words of leaders, or from the simplest understanding of education. The rationality of these answers is self-evident. The key is whether they come from our inner thinking. Do we realize that "what is education" is a "problem" that is closely related to our educational life practice and we often face? Apart from these "big words", "cliches" and "old sayings" about education, are there any new ideas in our hearts that support our educational life practice?

Education is an activity to cultivate people, and the starting point, foundation and ultimate direction of education are all people. People's openness and simplicity means education's openness and simplicity. Turning to the history of education, the definition of education has been changing for thousands of years. People of different times and different cultural backgrounds express their understanding and expectation of education from their own living circumstances. In fact, each generation can only seek their own understanding of education and pursuit of educational ideals in their respective political, economic, cultural, historical and realistic situations, and take care of their current educational practice. The change of human living conditions will inevitably lead to the change of people's understanding of education. In fact, it is impossible for people to give education a universal and once-and-for-all definition of "science" and "norm". Education is an open explanation.

As a given human activity rather than a given natural fact, the basic quality of educational activities directly depends on the quality of the person in charge of educational activities. Because of this, people of different times and different cultural backgrounds must also seek their positive understanding and interpretation of education, and take care of their educational practice with their positive understanding and expectation, so as to ensure that their educational practice is what they expect, ideal and intelligent. The significance of explaining education is not to seek a "scientific", "normative", "accurate" and "impeccable" definition for education (in essence, it is only a scientific definition model based on natural science) for people to remember, but its fundamental significance lies in expressing our educational ideals and expectations, so as to observe the reality of education and develop for it.

Seek a reasonable direction. This means that the answer to "what is education" is not and can't be ready-made at any time. It requires us to constantly explain and reinterpret in a way tangent to ourselves, and take the pursuit and answer to this question as the internal basis of our educational life practice.

Enhance the wisdom of our education in this pursuit. Education without ideals and wisdom is education without soul.
