WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Confucius saw education as a process of constant self-improvement and held that its primary function was the training of noblemen (junzi). He saw public service as the natural consequence of education and sought to revitalize Chinese social institutions, including the family, school, community, state, and kingdom.

Detailed explanation-2: -The core of Confucian educational philosophy is how we learn to be human. Human beings are the ends not the means. Confucius believed that the ultimate end of learning was to realize the true nature of human beings – become fully human.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the late Tang, Confucianism developed in response to Buddhism and Taoism and was reformulated as Neo-Confucianism. This reinvigorated form was adopted as the basis of the imperial exams and the core philosophy of the scholar-official class in the Song dynasty (960–1297).
