Confucius, The initiator of The Confucianists in the pre-Qin days. Ideological system of The Confucianists has been improved for many times. Finally, its ideology became the most fashion idea, and occupied a dominant position in Feudal society. The Lun Yu's educational theory category are still shining and attractive. "There is a difference in instruction but none in kind", "Teaches with skill and patience", "He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger", "Only one who bursts with eagerness do I instruct; only one who bubbles with excitement, do I enlighten", "As thing cut, as thing filed. As thing chiselled, as thing polished", "Forgive others' past mistakes", for example.This article has two major parts. The first part is the Lun Yu's educational theory category . The second part is the enlightenment of Lun Yu's educational theory category on contemporary education.In section one, we will talk about the educational theory category from four aspects.1,Ideologies of the Lun Yu's educational theory categoryTow thousands years ago. Confucius rose "There is a difference in instruction but none in kind", not only began to extend education from noble to the populace, but also opened exploration of educate fairly for the posterity. "Set the heart upon the way, support yourself by its power, lean upon Goodness, seek distraction in the arts", which show comprehensive representation of students training objectives, and has a strong vitality so far.2,Methods of educational theoryIn educational method, I list some important categories. For example, "Know it, prefer it, and delight in it". I must point out specially that people who only know it is just accept knowledge passively, people who prefer it is seek knowledge of his own accord, people who delight in it is obsessed by knowledge. "Only one who bursts with eagerness do I instruct; only one who bubbles with excitement, do I enlighten", there are two points in this sentence, "instruct" and "enlighten". They get together closely, and give a deep idea. Now, people use it, because of the whole process was emphasized even more, and we can see the relation between teaching and studying more clearly. It requires students take vigorous action to think question deeply, being good at inference, and draw inferences about other case from one instance. Teacher must be good at take opportunity in hand, and enlighten.Being a teacher must be teaching students with skill and patience. The students must remember "who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger", "cut, filed, chiselled, and polished". Confucius encouraged that learn from each other and discuss question together, because we can have great benefits from it.3,Moral education"The golden mean" requires that everybody and every group whenever, wherever, and do everything must be just right, and follow the morals of "The golden mean". These certain methodologies have great influence on traditional education of our country."Goodness" is one core of ideologies in Lun Yu. Confucius spreads his love every one and put others on an important position. These factors are made up of The Chinese nation's good traditions. "Be strict with oneself, "Be ready to help others", "positive and keep forging ahead", for example.Confucius lays his stress on "recognition" to tell us take attention to cultivate students' moral knowledge. First, you must have enough moral knowledge, and then you can tell what is good, what is honor or disgrace, and make a choice between accept and reject without puzzle. You can feel that regard following standards of moral as a need in your heart is a very happy thing.Resolute, an expression of moral practice. It is not like animal's behaviors, but a spirit of morality. It is not comes from personal feeling or impulse, and not act recklessly. So, when you possess brave of morality, you will not feel afraid.4,Self-possession of teacherAs a teacher, you must be of unwavering good faith, love learning, strengthen your faith, study hard and never satisfy. You must deal with affairs of class seriously, be honest, avoid groundless conclusion, do not speak thoughtlessly, and do not hurt students' self-respect. In other hand, you must have heart of forgive students' mistakes, be honest and kind, always take self-examination, forgive other's past mistakes, and keep a peace heart.In section two, we will talk about the enlightenment of Lun Yu's educational theory category on contemporary education.1,"There is a difference in instruction but none in kind" tell us our education for students' all, and we must work hard on improving fair of education."There is a difference in instruction but none in kind". The guiding principle of running school which is made by Confucius and we must follow. For improve justice, the government must put compulsory education in the first place. Building a system that both central and local government shares the expense for education. The latest Law of Compulsory Education must be implemented. Let all children of suitable age have chance to be educated. By analyses some school lack of money, the government must pay more attention to these school, and keep educational resources balance.2,Independent, Cooperative, and ExploreIt is no doubt that we have great success because of developing in basic education and revolution in our courses. But, quality education always faces the great problem that tradition education never changes. It does not conform to real. So, follow the educational method of Confucius is beneficial to firm educational method of "Independent, Cooperative, and Explore", cultivate students' ability of think, and improve quality education all-sidedly.3,"really wise can never be perplexed" tells us that we must pay attention to cultivate know, feel, think, and behavior, improve moral education level.In Confucius' eyes, a gentle man must take more care of moral education, have enough moral knowledge then can tell what is good, what is honor or disgrace, make a choice between accept and reject without puzzle, and feel that regard following standards of moral as a need in heart. Look back moral education of our time, it is very common that educational contents do not conform to real, method is too simple, and not all moral educational workers have a good quality. So, it tells us that we must unite social powers, make unremitting efforts on moral education conform to students in practice, and take nimble educational styles, that improve moral education level.4,Go forward with each passing day, work hard on seek knowledgeIn our time, Politic, Economic, Culture change very rapid. Teachers must keep with time. Teacher must be guide, collaborator, designer, and organizer in students' studying, firm idea that serve for students' developing, building democracy, equally, interactive, empathy, and cooperation relatives between teachers and students. On teaching method, teacher is not protagonist any more. Teachers should be see teaching as important as method, impart as important as discuss, and result as important as process. We should encourage students to quest and create. Therefore teachers should have the spirit of learning, research and create a spirit of unity, professionalism and the spirit of competition.
