The character 教, ‘to teach’, is composed of the character xiao 孝, ‘filial piety’, which shows an old person above a young person, plus the causative element 文; hence ‘to teach’ is in origin ‘to cause someone to be filially pious’. Two important elements in this are ancestor worship, an extreme form of filial piety, and ritual. The high emphasis on ritual by Confucius is psychologically astute: it is emotionally satisfying and at the same time role-confirming.
Confucius put himself forward as a transmitter of ancient knowledge: “I transmit but I do not create.” (Analects 7:1. See: Chan, 1963:18-48 for Analects citations). It is claimed that he edited the Five Classics (Classic of Documents, Classic of Poetry,9Classic of Changes, Classic of Rites and the Spring and Autumn Annals) that formed
the core of the traditional Chinese curriculum. Apart from holding a minor governmental post for a time, Confucius spent most of his life as a teacher with a corps of students, usually referred to as his disciples. The single work which is attributed with some confidence to Confucius is Lunyu (The Analects) which takes the form of a series of aphoristic responses to questions from his disciples. This work, the
eponymous work of Confucius’ later follower Mencius (372-289 BCE) and two sections from the Classic of Rites (the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean) were put together by the famous
neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi (1130 – 1200 CE) in the Song
dynasty to form the Four Books. These became the preliminary texts used to expound Confucian philosophy to young men as part of the civil service examination curriculum in the Ming (1368 – 1644) and Qing (1644 – 1912) dynasties. They were followed by
the Five Classics. Confucius set the tone for Chinese education in a number of important ways. Firstly, affirming that moral training is a key part of education and that such knowledge cannot remain academic,
