教育家孔子

公元前551年，在今天的山东省曲阜诞生了中国古代著名的思想家、教育家孔子。孔子的家里很穷，但是他从小就认真读书，刻苦学习。二十多岁的时候，做了个小官。他很有学问，办事认真，工作出色，三十岁左右，就已经很有出名了。孔子倒过许队诸侯国家，想为各国君王效力，但是他们都不接受他的政治主张。于是，孔子决心用自己的全部精力来办学。很多人知道这个消息之后，都把自己的孩子送来拜孔子为师。孔子收下了这些学生，开创了中国教育史上的私人讲学事业。

孔子热心办学，先后收了三千学生，其中最优秀的有七十二人。孔子通过办学，宣传了他的政治思想。孔子和他的学生形成了一个学派，叫做“儒家学派”。这个学派对中国几千年的封建社会影响极大。

孔子活了七十三岁。去世的时候，他的学生都非常悲痛。为了永远不忘记老师的教导，学生们把孔子跟他们的各种谈话内容记录了下来。以后，空子学生的学生又收集、整理了有关孔子言行的资料，编写成一部儒家学派的经典著作——《论语》。

Confucius as an Educator

In the year 551 B.C., Confucius, the famous thinker and educator of ancient China, was born in what is Qufu County, Shandong Province today. His family was very poor, but he worked hard at his studies even in early childhood. In his early twenties he became a petty official. At about 30, he earned/gained a high reputation for his profound knowledge, conscientious work and outstanding performance. Confucius visited many principalities in the hope of rendering service to the rulers, but none of them would accept his political views. Then, he changed his mind and decided to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. Confucius accepted them as his students, and thus he became the first individual to initiate a private school in the history of Chinese education.

A dedicated educator, Confucius accepted a total of three thousand students in his lifetime. Among them, seventy-two came out as outstanding scholars. Through

education, Confucius disseminated his political thought. Eventually, the philosophy of Confucius and his disciples evolved into a school of thought “Confucianism”, which was to exert a tremendous influence on the Chinese feudal society for thousands of years.

Confucius lived to the age of seventy-three. His disciples deeply grieved over his death. In order to remember his teachings forever, they recorded all his dialogues with them. Later on, the students of his disciples collected and edited what Confucius had said and done into a classic of the Confucian school entitled the Analects of Confucius.
