Abstract

“Life is education, society is school” is the fundamental proposition of Xingzhi education. Experimental teaching, situational teaching, job acquisition, and tourism cognition are the implementation paths of Xingzhi education. These educational paths of “Knowing by doing” are not only effective ways of cognition, but also popular among young students. Faced with the reality that young people nowadays do not love reading but are willing to participate in social practice, China’s education reform should start by strengthening practical teaching, allowing students to acquire knowledge as much as possible through practical activities, rather than through reading [1]. This is not only an empirical tale of educational reform in developed countries in Europe and America, but also a beautiful tale of the westward trend during China’s modernization period in the 1930s.
