自两汉算起,两千多年来,中国的历朝历代实质上都以教育立国、文化立国。两千年来,中国的教育基本上没经过重大改良,遑论革命,十五世纪以后渐渐落伍于世界潮流。洎乎晚清,作为制度的教育,一潭死水。概言之,一百年前的中国教育,是“教死书,死教书,教书死;读死书,死读书,读书死”(陶行知语) Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago, all the dynasties in history in China have essentially established their own nation by education and established their own culture. For two thousand years, education in China basically has not undergone major improvements, let alone revolution, and gradually lag behind in the world trend after the 15th century. Almost late Qing Dynasty, as a system of education, a pool of stagnant water. In short, a hundred years ago China’s education was “teaching death, teaching death, teaching death, studying for death, studying for death, studying for death” (Tao Xingshi)
